[QUOTE="Retros_x, post: 9605195, member: 7033171"] Not sure why it should. I think the main reason for magic item being left out of balance because they don't want to assume a fixed magic item rate. But High level characters are highly magical. I think that just doesn't fit the genre. I actually like that about DnD that you have these different tiers of play with different feel to it. But it seems logical to me that you can't run a low-fantasy game on levels where characters have half-god like abilities. If one is hellbent on having a low-fantasy game where you can play to max level - D&D 5e is the wrong system IMO. Additionally to my other claim why I think campaigns rarely reach high level (too long of a campaign, but nobody wants to start at level 10), I also support the other reason that was stated in this thread for missing high-level play is just not really mechanical, but narrative.
