[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 1691036, member: 22103"] [b]what about options?[/b] Ok, here's another question for you "low-magickers". :D How do you establish the low-magic framework of your campaign while still allowing the players to create the characters they want to play? I'm starting to understand the low-magic concept a bit better but I still have this complex that low-magic is associated with taking away options from the players. Trust me when I say that I haven't been too thrilled with the amount of crunchy stuff lately and I certainly understand that a DM doesn't have to allow everything under the sun in his campaign (I certainly don't I run a more "traditional" campaign right now). But my short-lived experience with a low-magic campaign amounted to the DM saying "no" to most of the character concepts presented. It seemed more about control to me than trying to establish the flavor of the campaign. That might be an extreme (and bad) example but my question remains. How much do you have to limit or restrict the character creation process without being an overlord DM? [/QUOTE]
