[QUOTE="Xaov, post: 1699842, member: 22820"] I agree with what is being said, altough I have hardly ever DMed I know the guy I play under gives us a lot of magic items but these items are in the form of potions and such, we sometimes get magic weaps and armor. I think this adds a good amount of realism to the character. Now for my two cents. While Magic is always present something that has seem to really grow recently, in my experience are the Psionics. While they have to cope with power points some of the abilities they have are a little bit over powered in my opinion. In the group I play under we have a psion, now most spell casters sorcerers, wizards, clerics, druids, etc. don't have very powerful spells until mid to high level. This Psion however is only level 4 and has a power that is called Energy Missle, it attacks up to 5 separate targets and deals I think 3D6 to each. Now that is crazy. He can wipe out 5 targets within one round! Sometimes the game feels like it is strictly magic/power based and the others are just there for the ride. I have yet to play a low-magic/power campaign but it might be a nice change. [/QUOTE]
