Message: <blockquote data-quote="kenjib" data-source="post: 546370" data-attributes="member: 530">I agree that NPCs will need modification to be on par with the PCs.  However, if you are playing low magic you don't want to take NPCs in standard form anyway, since according to standard rules they have tons of magic items.  You need to modify NPCs anyway so it's not really an issue.  My suggestion was made to be 100% compatible with monsters however, and individual monsters need no changes whatsoever.  In fact, with the changes I suggested, monsters are actually *more* compatible with low magic PCs because the CRs are closer to matching character power as intended (unlike your "wing it" method).Why is this qualitatively any different from the other sets of suggested changes others have mentioned?  You are changing the rules of the game to balance casters vs. non-casters.  That's exactly what the other suggestions do.  I think this is a good idea though -- tweaking the spell list and availability rules.</blockquote>
