[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 7159549, member: 6801060"] FR rules have always been the same as the base rules when it comes to Spelljamming and Ravenloft. As for the planes, during 3e, they did attempt to give the setting a unique planar set-up, but as FR had previously used the Great Wheel as its planar default in 1e and 2e, the planes they came up with were either exactly the same as the normal 3e Great Wheel ones, or thinly-veiled rip-offs ("We don't have a River Styx that flows through the lower planes, but a suspiciously similar 'River of Blood' that flows through our suspiciously similar lower planes!") that took literally minutes to reverse-engineer back to the Great Wheel if you wanted. Basically, from a planar viewpoint, it was simply stupid Primes from Faerun simply trying to make sense of the planes from their limited viewpoint and making a right mess of it. It's no surprise that for 5e they went right back to the old Great Wheel set up... [/QUOTE]
