[QUOTE="Uzzy, post: 3999082, member: 51590"] I see you missed my point, which was this. Why are people who have looked at the changes and said that they like the new direction the Realms are going then accusing those who have looked at exactly the same information and said they don't like it of jumping the gun? Surely if there is enough information already out for some to get positive opinions of the changes, there is enough information for people to get negative opinions, right? Oh, absolutely. I'm going to enjoy seeing the reaction of the Drizzy faithful when they realise that any Drizzt novels set in the new realms will be missing all the supporting cast. Simple. There is no need to change the Realms drastically in order to fix what you perceive as flaws in the Realms, because people have other choices. If they don't like the Realms, that's fine. And some people don't have time to create lots of stat blocks. Besides, that's more a general 'problem' in 3rd Edition, and is hardly the Realms fault. I do think that they went a bit overboard with the detailing of stats for some NPC's in 3rd edition products, but it's no biggie, nor does it need a 94 year jump to fix. Boccob - Neutral Aureon - Lawful Neutral The Shadow - Chaotic Evil Sure, those are details ripped from Wikipedia, but it would appear that Mystra is on her own as a Good aligned magic goddess. I think it's perfectly acceptable for Mystra to be good aligned, I certainly haven't seen you present a reason why it's not acceptable for her to be good. Now, if she stopped all evil characters from using magic, then it would be an issue, but she doesn't. Mystra being Good Aligned gives the Church of Mystra an interesting twist, with many new people in the church working to promote good uses of magic. Though, Mystra still gives clerical spells to those worshipping her under the guise of the former Goddess of Magic, who was LN. So you have the High Cleric of Mystra in Waterdeep being LE. So, what's your objection to Mystra being good aligned? From your words, you seemed rather adamant about not liking the current Realms. That's fine. [/QUOTE]
