Elminster's FR is not Ed's original ''canon''. His FR doesn't even include the ToT and hasn't even reached the 1370s, AFAIK, while that book even includes info about the 1400s DR. The book includes some of his original notes and design, sure, but only stuff that is compatible with the official...

We don't know if Ed will pulish his own Realms. He may use the official timeline. Does the DMguild even allow for divergent timelines (as in, say, pretending that the ToT never happened)?

This is just awesome! Thanks for sharing

On average 2d20 drop lowest returns 13.8; d20 returns 10.5. So I think that we can say that there is about +3.3 gap between the two.

Basically, I want the domain to include a 8th level feature which grants advantage on attack rolls and WIS/CHA saving throws. So I think that the bonus damage granted on average should be significantly lower than that provided by Divine Strike. I tried to give it 1d4 (2d4 at 14) bonus damage and...

Thanks for the input. I wanted to compare their effective bonuses for a cleric domain that I'm writing.

I've been wondering about the value of advantage when comparing some class features. Advantage is about the same as a +3 bonus on rolls (a bit more) on average, which in turn grants about +15% damage on average (assuming that you have no more than 85% chance to hit). How would it compare to the...

What about this: Channel Divinity (Eilistraee's Dance) As a bonus action, the Sword Dancer can choose to perform a graceful battle-dance. Her movement speed is increased by 10 feet, and she never triggers opportunity attacks. She must take a Performance check, gaining a bonus to her AC, attack...

How does this sound: Eilistraee's Moonfire Casting time: 1 action Components: V, S Range: Self Duration: 10 minutes. This spell creates a globe of moonlight of up to 10 cubic feet, that moves about the caster's body. It provides bright light in a 10 feet radius, and dim light for an additional...

Thank you for the feedback! I thought that the Performance skill was still divided among various arts. It seems rather weird to me that someone who can dance can also automatically sing or act. Either way, if that's 5e take, I can't do anything but roll with it. Ok, so: 1st level About the...

Hello. I'll premise that I don't have much experience with running 5e D&D: I know the rules, but I've been using a homebrew system at my table, so I have some troubles in figuring out how the rules that follow would play in practice (so they may be broken, or just weird to use). That said, I...

''Creators can upload whatever kind of Forgotten Realms material they’d like to the Dungeon Masters Guild, but we’ll be featuring side treks, monsters, and backgrounds on the site'' This basically means that Ed Greenwood could publish his FR lore there... wow :cool:

That's very hard to do, with how pervasive the gods are in FR. Assuming that people would stop praying to the gods just because the Wall isn't there, is really far fetched, even if some novel says so. It just doesn't make sense, and we can see that from the history of religions in our world...

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the discussion.

Oh, I see. But at this point, what does the mortal's skill matter? Do the deities ''balance'' each other making their effect null? If that's so, then considering each kind of situation (in which she would have to ''roll'' against different deities), luck would become pointless. If instead the...

It wouldn't change the fact that ''luck'' has still influenced movement, a lightining strike, a fire and so on. It would basically influence anything that could happen to anyone, making Tymora/Tyche almost all-powerful, as long as events affect persons or creatures. Stepping out of space and...

What I meant is that this luck ''force'' would be basically able to affect anything, any effect, as long as said effect could affect a creature in any way. If by luck we define ''good thins happen to a person'', then anything that can influence a person falls under this definition. For example...

In FR there's still physics tough (they're a bit off from our Physics, but they still exist). Things still follow laws. If you throw a dice, it is still moving according those laws, the possibility to change it implies the possibility to control its movement. If Tymora prevented a falling rock...

It also brings some other really weird stuff. For example, if luck ceases to exist with Tymora, what happens? Luck is only a human-made definition to indicate the possibility of good things (or bad) happening to people. If Tymora and Beshaba were to disappear, then luck and bad luck wouldn't...

Well, elves shouldn't be able to exist there, if their existence somewhere depended on that of their deity in the same place/sphere. Oh, wasn't aware of that, as I didn't read the ToT books. I stand corrected. But that's one more reason for me to ignore most of the ToT. It is just really...
