Re: Common Magic for a TL3 Wuxia Fantasy Campaign
Use Sorcery Talent instead of Magery then. It changes very little.

Well, not everything out of stone. It would be stone or magically reinforced wood. Structures would be made to last the generations I'd think so you'd get something like Essential Wood or Stone - though I don't intend to use either of those terms for the setting. Quote:

Re: Common Magic for a TL3 Wuxia Fantasy Campaign

If the children of mages have a higher chance of having magical potential (or that is the general perception in the world), you would very likely end up with noble families having a higher concentration of magical potential than commoners. If marrying mages increases the chance of having more magical power in the family, the head of a noble family is likely going to view a commoner with high magical potential as a better mate for their children than another noble with no magical potential. You would also see a shift in noble philosophy from having male children being as culturally important as they were in our world to having magically gifted children being seen as important. Someone who can accurately predict or detect magical potential in infants and small children would likely have a very cushy job that requires a lot of travelling. There would obviously be some risks associated with it, such as a wrathful noble lashing out after being told their third child in a row has no magical potential, but I expect that the majority would be more grateful. Either because they won't feel the need to spend extra resources on a child that has no potential or because they know they have a gifted child. |

No, it could be anything I suppose.

Re: Common Magic for a TL3 Wuxia Fantasy Campaign
That leaves the ideal vehicle as being large, without much more in the way of requirements. That might suggest large boats as the most efficient method, but also leaves open the possibility for massive self-propelled wagons.
