[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6075990, member: 22779"] You presume that every single adventure though is against intelligent, organized foes in a fixed, defensible location. Additionally, these are foes with considerable experience with magic. This is not necessarily true. Why would that pirate ship have any real experience with magic? How about those marauding wyverns that the town needs you to track down and kill? Or any other large, dangerous beastie that the party is asked to help against? Orcs or kobolds might have some knowledge of low level magic, they do have shamans after all. But, higher powered stuff? It's not like it gets seen all the time. It's the stuff of legend. Sure, if you're heading into that Mind Flayer lair, I can totally see all sorts of magical defenses and whatnot. They are super geniuses after all and have loads of actual, direct knowledge of things magical. But that tribe of ogres? Or trolls? Really? [/QUOTE]
