I never read any Greyhawk novels, but I read plenty of American authors and don’t notice much difference with British ones, unless it’s set in Stephen King-ville or set in Britain and gets something wrong.
I’m currently reading The Masques of Spring, British author, 1920s New York setting. And...
Never really paid much attention to Greyhawk, I had the folio WoG, which was very wargamerist, and I didn't think much of it. But I don't think Ed ever mentions accents, and the most Canadian thing in FR is the inclusion of maple syrup on the import/export tables.
HAT was about 60/40...
Plus all their spell slots that could be used for healing.
Sure, trying to turn a martial character into a healer isn’t an optimal way to play. And that definitely applies to Banneret too.
Adventurers aren’t writing the history or geography books.
Doesn’t mean that every one of the several hundred sentient species on Faerun is represented in every neighbourhood, no matter how cosmopolitan it is. It’s only the professional adventurers who are likely to know more than a couple, and...
Saurials, pterafolk, yuan-ti, dragonflesh grafters, draconians, kobolds, half dragons, etc etc, etc. The Realms is full of reptilian humanoids, and the chances are an average person wouldn't be able to identify any of them.
I had fun with these, but then I like maths! I did stat a speeder bike with 9G acceleration.
I think this was the first issue of White Dwarf I bought myself, rather than reading someone else's back issues.
I'm not sure how the writing would indicate that. It doesn't say that the people talk loudly, don't queue or apologise when they bump into someone! If I'm running an NPC from Waterdeep, they are going to behave like a British person. Although for some reason I gave Luskans faux-Russian accents...
Cavalier - this is one that could actually be a pet class - take the dragon stuf from PDK and refluff it as a horse (or generic mount of the player's choice). The Cavalier in Pathfinder works like that.
Then make a separate specialist defensive fighter subclass.
If WotC is determined to redo Drunken Master*, then they could think about what it was originally - someone who pretends to be drunk for comedy. Thus, they could ditch the alchemical stuff, and call the subclass Clown. Mime or Way of the Slapstick are other options.
*I've never seen one...
I think it would make more sense for the abilities to be classed by storm type rather than terrain. So Sandstorm, thunderstorm and blizzard.
And they should all impede vision.
