Pretty standard.

For low-magic, I play a different system (Midgard), which works much better in that context.

For high-magic... well, I consider the magic in D&D to be pretty high, already. ;)

When we used to play back home we generally played something along the lines of Forgotten Realms plus some (ie, there were gods we contended with; no we didn't kill them nor could we imagine doing so) but some of us did have artifacts and great innate magical powers in addition to our class abilities.
 

I voted Low Magic as that is likely how the setting feels initially to players, but it's really High But Rare Magic. There is only one, homebrew, spell casting class and the spell progression for it is very light (more akin to Bard but feeling more like Sorcerer) in favor of some more monk-like martial abilities and cleric-like flavor.

At least one prestige class allows a novice to take on a "full" spell progression. Others focus on the clerical or martial aspects of the class over the spell casting bit.
 

There's so many different ways of interpreting low or high magic that I think those claims are too vague to really be useful. This poll should really have more options.
 

The adventure I'm running is using 'normal' amounts of magic. In our Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil game we're using 'normal' magic as well, although I believe we're underequipped for the level we're at. It does really depend on what your definition of high magic is?

I voted low magic but it is in fact high magic.............if your one of the bad guys! :(

Last session we face off against 3 high level Drow with loadsa kit, however they exploded upon death which destroyed all of the kit and all we managed to grab was an unholy bow. :confused:

That's a RBDM if ever I saw one. :]
 

Some people describe my campaigns are "low magic" - but it is really "moderate magic" it is standard D&D that is "high magic".
 

I voted "Something Else" because in my game the PCs have full access to spell-casting classes, etc. but the number of people in the general population who can do magic is lower than in "stock" D&D. This makes magic items a bit rarer since there are fewer people producing them.

Definitely no Ye Olde Magicke Shoppes! :)
