Powerful, sure, but not a lot more so than a lot of those giants wandering around the mountainside (before Drizz't kneecaps them at least). Same with his buddies. It's not like if you screw something up a thousand miles away Drizz't can jet in to save the day for you.Elminster and the other mages ARE problems, because in FR probably more than any other setting, mages are ridiculously powerful compared to everyone else. They're like the friggin' Justice League. Any time a bad guy worth mentioning does more than cough, the DM has to justify why they're not there to take care of it.BUT it seems like Mystra's kicking the bucket, so presumably all her mage-priest-demigods like Elminster are gonna take a severe power hit at minimum. Thus, Elminster can stay alive without remaining his current PC-overshadowing self.And as long as I'm making people in this thread hate me, how the heck can FR talk about its "sense of history" when the technology level has been maybe 13th-century European for thousands of years now? Elminster was using a crossbow way back in his childhood, and it looks like there hasn't been a single new invention since... that god of invention must be slacking.</blockquote>
