I recently heard someone complaining about the time of troubles ones where the PCs big action/mission/quest as written in the module was to go tell Elminster about a problem so he could deal with it.I remember reading that in 3e development there was a perception that in the FRs bad guys had become too comically inept and outclassed by good guy stuff everywhere. So the bad guys were recast in 3e as more numerous, competent, and omnipresent. Threats everywhere for heroes to deal with. I remember reading advice specifically stating that Khelben and Elminster, powerful as they are, could not handle everything. So the FR in 3e moved to a darker baseline.For specifics, I can't really say, my direct experience is limited to playing in two FR modules, owning the free 2e module pdfs WotC put up, and owning Sons of Gruumsh.</blockquote>
