Twin Peeks: Races of Faerun and Arms & Equipment Guide

[The Forsaken One]

No differences between the human subraces is just lame... I was so hoping for that. Even some human subraces with a ECL attached like some netherese descendants or something (just babbling now) but ya get the picture...

 

[Kae'Yoss]

They are humans, after all. And there are no subraces, only ethnic groups. And there are not so much netherese descendants around (most netherese fell to their deaths), except the shades, and you have stats for them already...

Besides, there was nothing innately better about Netherese folk. Their advantage was the mythallar things. I prefer that human ethnic groups not have stat differences.

Elven High Magic

Eric

Could you, Would you....give us more specifics on Elven High Magic?

Would you, Could you....A new adventure with something a little more tragic?

Thanks

Edward

PS You read Green Eggs and Ham for 6 weeks straight every night and see what your mind does

For Eric's benefit and because I don't see anyone clarifying on a few questions asked:

Elven High Magic tended to be very very powerful, but very fatal to the casters. Often they'd form circles to cast even more powerful magic, but die in the process.

I'd be curious in knowing a bit more about High Magic/High Magic PrC if you're willing Eric.

 

[Aaron L]

Elven High Magic is epic level spellcasting from the ELH.

 

[Janos Antero]

I knew it'd be epic, but I'm wondering if they'll use circle rules already written, and what it will be able to do that isn't necessarily from the ELH.

The Art Gallery for Races of Faerûn is up !

Honestly, there are several piece of art that I don't really like...

 

[Kae'Yoss]

That's the thing with Realms art: there are pieces the artists should be shot for (2nd picture of elven pantheon, Faiths and Pantheons), but others are head-and-shoulders, often all-that-and-belly above the other art.

There is one thing besides culture that distinguishes them -- regional feats. There are some new regional feats based on these ethnicities in this book (I didn't really notice that until I was reading more closely yesterday). So PCs of these human groups could have special feats that no others would normally have access to.
