I mean, Halastar was actually like 5,000 years old when he died, and came from a pre-Netherese civilization l, but thst involves timefreezing. But he was active again im the 2nd ce fury DR. Sliminster was born on the 3rd century DR. So with powerful magics users, knowledge of the ancient world...

Yes, ut still a Monster stat block is used for 2 or maybe 3 rounds of combat, as opposed to hundreds for a PC option.

To focus on on this big, thwt is actually Tolkien as a linghist making a statement about the nature of changing language: thr Elves are aware their speech changes, and it is a form of artistic expression and oftentimes even politics.

For the Elves, yes, but Netheril is more like Classical Rome in terms of influence on the Realms, not Sumeria. There are other, loster Civilizations in the FR for that.

I would think more a premium animation like Arcane.

The Fall of Netheril was -339 DR, over 1800 years prior to the current FR book timeline, and generations ago even for Elves and Dwarves.

This is a more niche product, so ultimately way fewer.

Probably not.

I saw some speculation that she might be the Fay BBEG from the Moonshae section?

I mean, the Species, Backgrounds and Feats can be years of gameplay for someone, Monsters and Adventures are a but more one-off.

Right, I'm sure Kobold Press has razor thin margins. I juat don't think WotC has large margins on a product the price of a sandwhich.

Just reading summaries of what ia in there actually showed a whole bunch of interesting character ideas that weren't all that doable prior.

I'm not saying it is a particularly compelling reason (personally I don't think VR will ever become mainstream, it's a niche idea), but it is an attempt to assuage one of the major complaints VR systems get: the lack of anything to do with them. So the analogy is maybe a flying car advertising...

Not an advantage for playing the game, but more an advantage for this as a VR headset that there is actually software for it: the big issue with a lot of VR systems has been the lack of things to do on them, now at least one's whole Steam library would be available.

Pretty sure the Lich dude is Sammaster.
