    Re: How to make the game... Less magic

    It occurs to me that one way to reduce flashy offensive spells and healing magic in AD&D would be to only allow druids and illusionists rather than straight clerics and magicians.  You could probably cherry-pick the AS&SH classes the same way.

    I like lots of magic though.

    Witch falls in the same category I think.

    “How can I wear the harness of toil
    And sweat at the daily round,
    While in my soul forever
    The drums of Pictdom sound?”

    It's rare--but it happens. But it's rare. But it happens.
