[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 1698391, member: 2067"] The Magewright is an NPC class from Eberron, which is part of the reason it's been so short. ;) They're basically arcane casters, max spell level 5, focus on 'utility' type spells that they'd like to make into minor magical items. IMXP, there is no setting that encourages roleplaying, only a setting that encourages a particular *type* of roleplaying. It's not that low magic encourages roleplaying in general, it may be, though, that if your character is based more off of Frodo that it's not exactly *encouraged* in regular, high-magic D&D (due to there being no real great pathos to lugging around an intelligent ring of invisibility ;)). But IMHO, someone who is good at roleplaying will do it regardless of setting or even genre of game. If it doesn't encourage Frodo, they'll be Kenshin Himura or Achilles or Batman or whatever. Or, they'll find a way that Frodo does work (lugging around an artifact-level sword imbued with the corrupted soul of your ancestors that re-animates everything it kills as undead has plenty of pathos....), and do that. Low magic encourages certain types of characters that high magic doesn't, true. But I'd say someone who CAN'T role-play a different type probably isn't that great of a role-player to begin with. But I speak as an actor, so perhaps switching roles is easy for me and those I game with. ;) [/QUOTE]
