I don't think that it works exactly like that: as others pointed out, we have examples of things that exist, even if the related god isn't there. For example, elves were alreaedy on Toril, even before Corellon, who has elves as his portfolio, found his way in. When Bane died, tyrants didn't...

If the former, well, the character would just be blind, and would be laughed at by other people. It would be like stating that, say, the stars don't exist.

If the discussion comes down to running a game, it is extremely simple to just ignore the Wall. Personally, I've axed the Time of Troubles thing that led the god to depend on followers to survive (which would also make the Wall no longer needed as a form of insurace for the gods), and I don't...

Oh, right, forgot about the Crown of Horns.

Myrkul is back, though. That makes at least some of the events in NWN2 MotB (the part where he is basically deleted from existence) rather non canon. VGs are canon only if they don't contradict other FR products.

Just wait a couple other editions ;)

I would also suggest ''Starlights and Shadows''. One of the reasons I particularly like Liriel is (beside her personality) that IMO she feels like a concrete character. In the story, she goes off chasing her own wish, to create her path, and throghout the series you can see a change and growth...

Well, if games are adapted around the official version of the setting, then it does have a use. The canonical Realms remain the base version that DMs and players customize to varying degrees, the information about the setting as presented in the published products. When using and customizing the...

It's obvious that DMs and players can do things as they please in their game. The difference is that the FR is a shared world, it exists as a common base for those who produce storylines that take place within the setting, including modules and adventures. Those authors must be on the same page...

Yeah. And even then, the FR gods almost always (and I mean literally, just look at the current pantheon) find their way back into the living. Besides, in FR deities rarely are truly killed, as recent ''history'' examples show us.

I would enjoy to have such a character in my group, if played properly. Which is not always easy to do, IMO. No, I didn't mean the ''holier than thou'' pacifist, but someone who contributes to the mission by healing and blessing their allies. They would also prefer to heal and protect, rather...

And yet one of the main things that infuriated FR fans was how WotC got rid of some really neat deities between the end of 3e and with 4e. There's a reason why the Sundering restored basically all the FR deities to life. I also never understood this complaint. If people have trouble with the...

As I see it, the +2 Con, extra hp and poison resistance are something that a human might have. They are not some overly specific abilities that would never be found in a human, so, if it helps representing more closely the kind of character that the players has in mind (and if it isn't done just...

My introduction to the Realms was the end of 4e. However, I ignore most RSEs and plots with deities acting like they were 5 years old kids with super powers squabbling over a toy, including the ToT (even though I still use Kelemvor as the judge of the dead). I still use things like the return...

Before answering, I'll say that, as I pointed out in my post, mechanics are just models to represent how characters work. That was to say that, for example, in-universe people won't see a fighter and a rogue with labels on their foreheads that tell what they are, and the character won't be...

In my campaign, one of my players picked an elf, and the other made a PC that has both elven and drow blood. It wasn't my decision that it had to be an elf-only game, but (IMO) it allowed to create a more thematically fitting and coherent campaign. So the idea could have merit, if you and your...

What's with ''Lemon Curry'' being in every poll :confused: On topic, I never let mechanics have any particular meaning in my game. They are just metagame models to represent how characters work and interact with the world.

The Ondonti: http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Ondonti A half-orc cleric of Eldath with Ondonti origins could be quite interesting to play.

I've only experienced first hand a single campaign up to now, so I'll toss some ideas for deities that, according to what I've seen reading forums, come up quite rarely. -A cleric of knowledge devoted to Savras. Could be some kind of seer or oracle. -A cleric of trickery, devoted to Leira...

No problem at all, it can happen :) And thanks for posting that info from Ed. It seems that people aren't judged only according whether they worshiped a patron deity, but by all the choices that they made in life.
