[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 2331169, member: 8447"] How do we start defining this...? I look upon standard D&D as Very High Magic -- magic items readily for sale, many magical creatures in the world, high level magicians doing very flashy spells all about. Yep, high magic. I use AU as my base set of rules currently, but with modifications. First of all, my campaign (and world) is pretty Low Level. The PCs at the momen range from 3rd to 5th level; there are certainly more powerful people in this world, but they are pretty rare. There are no magic shops, NPC magisters, runethanes, and greenbonds are less common than usually described, etc. There are also very few monsters in the classic D&D sense -- major opponents tend to be NPCs, backed up with wild animals and disease. OTOH, no character is restricted as to what kinds of magic he or she may pick up (within the game rules, that is) or what magic items they may make, also given the standard rules (with the single proviso that anyone may "donate" the XP for magical item creation, rather than leaving it all on the magic using type). We also have a fair amount of undead and spirits floating about -- just not "intelligent" monsters. So while the PCs are not restricted in their access to magic (thus making them High Magic by my definitions), the world itself is pretty much close to what I would consider Medium Magic (Low Magic by D&D definitions). Take your choice. :heh: [/QUOTE]
