[QUOTE="Drifter Bob, post: 1702876, member: 17723"] The intelligence of gamers is so wasted by trying to rationalize nonsense. I once met brilliant grad student at MIT who had developed rationalizations for how everything in (the original) star trek was, in fact, realistic. The alternate races with pointy ears. The green antaena girls. The furbles. The square landing craft. Everything. Without even picking apart any of the arguments you just made above, I'll just point out that you left off any discussion of the ZERO LEVEL CANTRIP [i]create water[/i]. I suppose that balances right out as well does it? Is the water impotable to plants and livestock? Because if not, it would allow high density human populations to overrrun almost every corner of the planet (or is your world a disk?) And as for predatory animals, incidentally, how many of the really common predatory monsters in the SRD are tougher than Tigers, or Brown Bears, or packs of Wolves, or Lions? Ordinary common humans in RL had little trouble eradicating them without any magic. How many monsters could cause the kind of depopulating massacres that humans have inflicted on each other on a continuous basis since the beginning of time? Or which surprass the effects of plague?
