[QUOTE="Alphastream, post: 6289237, member: 11365"] It is, in the tradition of all the edition-changing FR events. 4E made significant changes, nearly all of which are being lessened (and in some cases completely undone). This is particularly true for most? of the Abeir intrusions, though I would guess we will retain some cool earthmotes and waterfalls coming out of thin air (those [U]are[/U] darn cool!). Spellplague is a good example of something that is being lessened, with pockets remaining and some people still manifesting, but it won't be as commonplace now that Mystra is back. I would guess that the Abeir continent will be gone again and the primordials will decrease as a big threat (at least as an Abeir-fueled one). The biggest noticeable impact is really the return to prominence of many organizations that had moved to the background, such as the Zhentarim. This is especially true in published works, though LFR (Living Forgotten Realms) often made good use of those classic organizations. For the average home campaign, it will really be about the way those organizations are written up - once more as prominent threats actively influencing the realms. The emphasis will be on classic political intrigues, rather than the upheaval and chaos from the sudden change from the Spellplague. [/QUOTE]
