[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5390400, member: 71571"] 1) Dark pact Warlock's only Forgotten Realmyness is that it happened to be introduced in a Forgotten REalm book. It actually has little 'This is so FR' flavor. You know this because it's not a 30th level wizard who solves everyone's problems for them. I dislike FR as well, with a passion. But the Dark Pact, and Swordmage aren't anything even remotely Forgotten Realms, in the same sense as Warforged and Dragonmarks are distinctly Eberron. There's literally no attachment to forgotten realms flavor. They are concepts that didn't exist before the fourth edition timeshift, and they have no explanation that involves what happened after the timeshift. Contrast with Spellscarred--that IS a Forgotten Realms thing. 2_ Of course not, but that comes down to the rule itself. Only a DM can properly adjudicate it. Players can't decide who trusts them enough, only a DM can. But the players can certainly try. I have no problem with players using healing powers on people, it requires so little effort to rp out that it's not a huge rules snag. But, it's there fore the cases where being an ally is negative, or to prevent excluding non-teammates from effects that really are only supposed to work on teammates. So, as a DM, I can make that call. [/QUOTE]
