[QUOTE="Nymrohd, post: 4159968, member: 59126"] With the changes in Thay seen in the new novel series I think that the old Thayan traditions are now defunct. The schools of magic social division might exist still in the expatriates at the enclaves, who will no longer have a nation to back them and will probably be more likely to be unaligned than evil, making a Red Wizard PC more likely and dealing with an enclave a viable option for good characters who would never abide dealing with slavers before. Meanwhile back in Thay the undead outnumber the living. I think it's going to be a paragon level adventuring region with Szass Tam and a number of wizards (whether necromancers or not is I guess defunct till the Shadow power source). Szass would be best handled as an epic level solo controller for the time being, though I guess they can change him to a necromancer when that class is available. Still a solo monster would probably be a more interesting option; class levels would not provide him with what a monster needs to be solo, that is reactive actions. [/QUOTE]
