[QUOTE="Kaelynna, post: 11477, member: 1233"] Alright folks, here's a quick 10 reasons why 1st age FR was so awesome. Enjoy! - Yanni Gaddleroot, Gnome Extraordinaire, Master of the Metagame. And Why was 1st Age FR so awesome? Here's why... 1) Elminster was only a level 26th magic-user and a RETIRED sage. He had no chosen powers or uber godlike abilities. 2) Laeral was evil and didn't even know Khelben Blackstaff then. AND she wasn't a seven sister back then (at least it wasn't known) 3) Storm Silverhand and the rest of the sisters used POTIONS OF LONGEVITY to keep alive and not chosen powers (which they didn't have back then). 4) There wasn't a stupid drow elf (sorry BH) that was the seventh sister. In fact, there weren't seven sisters. 5) Sylune of Shadowdale actually DIED heroically during the year of the worm. There wasn't any of this spectral harper crap. 6) Harpers didn't have godlike powers in the 1st age. 2nd age changed that however with all the Master Harper abilities, transforming tune, etc. At least harpers are no longer godly in the 3rd age. 7) There wasn't a Drizzt Do'Urden to completely screw over the 2nd age Ranger profession. Now every Ranger wields weapons in two hands. And practically every intelligent min/maxed fighter will now have 1 level in Ranger in the 3rd age just to be like Drizzt :-) 8) There wasn't a Times of Troubles. Nuff Said. 9) There wasn't a Cyric or Midnight or Kelemvor, etc. 1st age FR had real deities that weren't adventurer rejects. 10) There wasn't a Belgos Helviiryn (my best friend's half drow PC)! hahahahaha j/k Hope you enjoyed this list! And flame away! (This isn't meant to be an FR bash thread. Just having a little truthful fun. I really like 3E FR, BTW.) [/QUOTE]
