#1 Ororo Jul 08, 2012 20:29:56	I'm in the very beginning process of developing a world for my gaming group. It's a world where magic has been driven underground and the daily life of the people is generally run by the church. I have a system of government, a few NPCs and a few monsters designed, but I could use ideas about hooks. Here's what I have so far:  A rumor that magic items are not destroyed but are hoarded in the catacombs beneath the Temple A dying man passes on a message to one of the characters with some vital information for the Underground (which isn't as dead as the Church thi Someone wrongly accused of outlawed arcane magic, kangaroo court I do plan on letting them find some magic items, but one of the players brought up the question of using inherent bonuses. This is my first Campaign as a DM and I've only played one (very short) campaign with inherent bonuses and I could use the benefit of some experience. Also, in a world with arcane and primal magic nearly wiped out, of course my players have started with arcane character concepts. Is it out of line to have their magic have a 20% mischance due to poor training for the first few adventures?  Any and all help appreciated

Like you said, they have almost no training.  I also wouldnt let every party member be a spell caster, as magic is very hidden and (apparently) concentrated to a specific group.  Or you could have them hail from that specific undergroud group.
