I may have skipped a lot of the thread.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/blush.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":blush:" title="Blush    :blush:" data-shortname=":blush:" />Only if you play up that idea. If you were to emphasise the lack of magic surrounding the PCs; that even casting low-level spells is a matter of wonder to people around them, that as an adventuring party they are called to deal with unusual or magical threats specifically because they are the only people with magical capability in the area/town/nation, you can give the other idea.Even if the entire party consists of magic-users, you can use that; birds of a feather etc. The fact that the PCs are the only practical magic users in the land helps to make them special.D&D can handle low magic without too much trouble. You yourself just said how to: Make magic using classes rare or nonexistent. As pointed out before, the proportion of magic-using classes in the PHB has nothing to do with the proportion of magic-using people in the setting, nor even in the party itself. Its like the reason that combat and its corollaries has more PHB-space than either f the other two pillars. The other pillars aren't less important, just less rules-intensive.If you want a no-magic party, just say so in your session zero: that only Fighters, Rogues and Barbarians of the non-magic archetypes are available as classes and only races without magical capabilities are available (so no High Elves, Drow, Forest Gnomes, Dragonborn, Tieflings.)Bingo! Done.As to the relationship between spells and class features; its more fun and versatile to have a spell list and resource pool rather than a list of magical effects each of which can be used a few times per day. The Battlemaster Fighter is a non-magical example: a spell list (learned maneuvers) and resource pool (superiority dice). The monk is a very similar concept in a magic-using class. Both have a lot of other class features as well.</blockquote>
