I would also put in my vote in favor of not using pregen character. Going through the rules and building your character from the group up (whether you go with rolled stats, point built or assigned number) helps get a feel of what you want but also what the world is. Sure the first session can...

You are welcome. Like everything else, the Avariel has "evolved" from one edition to the other and what was true may have changed.

On DM's Guild there's this "pay what you want" document that covers rare elves in 5e, including Avariel. Maybe that could help. And although 2e, try to find the article "on Wings of Eagles" in Dragon magazine 233. It's a great article on Avariel from the point of view of a wingless Avariel...

Why The Urd Stole it/Sold it to a Pech: Someone (Drow, Duergar, Svirfneblin, Kuo-toa a rival Thog colony, etc.) hired the Urd to steal the sword (mayby via magic or discreetly) and told them to bring it to a Pech who "owed" him a favor. How they discover it: After a Casting (Top of my head...

Draconic as Dragon are creature of Magic. Sharn could be interesting also.

In the 2 tabletops game I'm in (Granted it's 1st ed but it should not matter) we use a simple formula of "Party average -1 level" So if the party average is 5, the new character startes at 4th. He's not as powerful as the rest of the party (the "penalty" for dying or joining late), but not...

Around me, I'd say we have a fair mix and it depends on when we started: Most of us who are older and starter with Original D&D, BECMI, AD&D 1st or 2nd ed. pretty much stuck to those editions. I would say we are part of the 2nd category. We've tried 3.5 Ed, Pathfinder and 5th edition, but did...

I also like the idea. It's simple and elegant and it's still makes going down in the negative pretty bad and something to avoid. If I may suggest (and feel free to ignore) some quick clarification: 1) Lost of Hand/Arm - I don't really see the justification for the caveat lost of...

It's unfirtunate about the magazine, but considering the whole legal issues they faced...completely crazy if you ask me...I cannot fault them. Depending on the RPG systems used that could prove interesting. Hopefully they'll have something to satisfy old school gamers like me who didn't get...

I figured it was a long shot as people tend to convert out of 1st or 2nd rather than into; but I had to ask.

I've recently acquired WotBS and, despite only a cursory reading, I really enjoy it. I was considering adding it to my homebrewed world, but as I play promarily 2nd editon AD&D, I was wondering if anyone had retro-converted the adventure to an earlier edition. I've tried searching on the forum...

Up the top of my head: A Mind Flayer Mind Blast (or a similar attack/creature) might unlock their psionic potential.
