FR: Players Guide to Faerun is out what do you think?

Hmmm. Why wouldn't the wizard take the masterwork weapon (worth at least 300 gp) and then sell it for 150+ gp?

*shrug* Mostly depends on the campaign world, but by the RAW there would be little reason to take the gold option.

Bought it Saturday. Overall, very nice. I particular, the crossover section [Vile Darkness, Exalted Deeds, etc.] is very thought-provoking.

Now that I've read the feats section for myself, I'm stll on board. There's no way to make sure that any given player will make an effort to roleplay the cultural/geographical background associated with his regional feat...but in a world as vast as the Realms, I think it's a great character hook for players new to the Realms.

And once again, I find myself wanting to do a high-magic game based in Halruua...

The Eye of Horus Re is so much better than the Morninglord of Lathander that the two classes are not comparable fighting undead or any other creatures for that matter. Just to give you a slight example of the difference, at 10th level the Morninglord gains the equivalent of 60 foot darkvision while the Eye of Horus Re gains always active True Seeing. The Eye of Horus Re receives 60 foot Darkvision at 2nd level. When you get this book, just look over the two classes. They are not comparable.

Sure they are. The Eye of Horus-Re does have better special abilities, but he doesn't get +1 spellcaster level at first level. They look pretty balanced to me.

you are not limited in how many regional feats you can take nor can they only be purchased at first level.....unless of course they changed it from 3.0

That quote is from weeks ago, but I have a question on that matter. Can you take a regional feat and a racial feat at first level?

And another question: what is name of the feat that gives proficiency in all martial weapons?

There's no such thing in PGTF as a racial feat. Each race has a list of associated regions, and each region has a list of associated feats. And of those feats, you get only one, which must be taken at first level.

The racial feats I had in mind are from Races of Faerun. Presumably those have not been completely done away with by PGTF. Or am I wrong?

And by the way, what is the name of that all-martial-weapon-proficiency" feat?

Racial feats still exist I believe.

There's a text block covering over Stoneblood, Stonwalker Fist, and Swarmfighting (urdunnir dwarf, urdunnir dwarf, and wild dwarf) says that they're just feats available to any of the appropiate race.

Not having Races of Faerun, I couldn't say specifically though.

It looks like now the racial feats from RoF are not regional feats. For instance, the Tethyrian racial feats are now listed under Western Heartlands, while the Calime racial feats are listed under Calimshan, or some facsimile thereof.

However I don't think PGtF ever explicitly says that it is coopting the racial feat system.

Edit: Calime! Calime! Calime!

Now you try it.

I believe thery are referred to as Calie.

The feat is called Militia. It is limited to half-elves from Aglarond, halflings from Lurien or humans from Altumbel, the Dalelands, Impiltur, Samarach, Thindol or Turmish.

As my Realms game is in the Silver Marches, it's not likely to come up.
