Things were high powered and twinky to my remembrance, even for 5th level.The first campaign I GM'd, Elminster, Khelben, and some other named characters I forget about rocked up and saved a city the PC's were in after PC's have some minor combat on the city walls (Invasion of the shadows forces.)  Years later, I don't run forgotten realms. We all had a kick of "Forgotten realms? Bleagh!" for awhile. Now we recognise it as a setting that simply can be hard to truly do justice to. It has high-fantasy potential, high-level potential - not a lot of campaign settings have high level potential. To be honest, I think FR could be a very decent setting. It could be done well; simply by it's nature there's heaps of different groups intriguing against one another.Suggestion to a player? Sit back and have fun. THe setting may be ruined or saved by the GM - the GM will make it good or bad.</blockquote>
