Just imagine the Forgotten Realms struck down by something like that and then have you characters told its that world however all characters have to start as npc classes, Commoner, Expert, Warrior, Adept, Aristocrat, etc and once they reach 1st level can multi-class into whatever class they want to play although in return all favoured classes might have to be changed to mtch their first class unless you want all nonhumans except for half elves to be stuck at lower levels.Wizards would have to carry whatever equipment they need with them unless they base themselves locally and magical items will have to be either taken off foes or created by themselves noting that such creations will have to be rediscovered.That would allow you to avoid having to buy another campaign setting and allow you to ignore the FR's current continuity problems for your campaign concept.Hope that wasn't too longwinded though!Take care and all the best!</blockquote>
