These are assumed to be present in the system, and without them casters lose quite a bit (especially wizard's who's main strength is variaty of spells in their spellbook). Presumably scrolls, wands and such will be less available or not at all. The second is magic focused characters having the resources to do their jobs. The CR system breaks down almost completely by the early teens, and you have to judge each monster/enemy for yourself as dm to determine if your party can deal with it. Without them once you get past around level 8 all characters suffer, especially the martial ones. These items represent the straight numbers boost that characters get from magic items to vital areas. First, non-magical characters not having access to 'big six' items (magic weapon, magic armor, stat boosting items, cloak of resistance, amulet of natural armor and ring of protection). I have run and played in low magic games in 3.5, and am playing in one in pathfinder now. I would like opinions on a couple items with regard to PF magic.įirst, does anyone run low magic campaigns with PF? By low magic I mean magic items are few and far between (kind of like a Conan world).
