[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 9328479, member: 87792"] Sure ... when the wizards [I]feel[/I] basically like Gandalf and barely cast any explicit magic. Remember, according to Dragon Magazine Gandalf was a fifth level magic user. And he was of course far the most powerful member of the Fellowship of the Ring. [ATTACH type="full"]360008[/ATTACH] If you want that Lord of the Rings style you're talking about then hard cap wizards at level 5. Because right now what you are asking for is for the fighter players to play the hobbits while the wizard players play people who make Gandalf seem weak. When you have wizards from anime and Harry Potter it's a complete genre mismatch to force the fighters to be from Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings. It focuses on the [I]base class[/I]. And as I always do I'm going to say [I]level matters[/I]. Hard cap at level 5 and you can have your Lord of the Rings fantasy. For that matter for most fantasies with mundane characters you probably want to ban the wizard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, and even the bard. Gandalf after all sat out most of Lord of the Rings, and Aragorn the Ranger was the main healer. Celtic Myth isn't anime. And when the wizards stop snapping physics over their knee I'll say the imagery isn't supported. As it is we get wizards-and-muggles. [/QUOTE]
