[QUOTE="Traycor, post: 3929310, member: 54613"] True, but why should I need to? If no one uses these characters and they must be changed or ignored in practically every game, then I see no problems with the designers culling this sort of thing. It's needless work. True again, but it was stated elsewhere (can't remember who specifically off the top of my head, but I believe it was Perkins) that Elminster and Alustriel aren't going anywhere. And I believe he used a description something akin to, "character like Drizzt, Elminster, and Alustriel aren't going anywhere". So if you taking the 'nuking' statement along with the other statements, it sounds to me like the lesser known chosen are being killed or relocated, but the popular/well known characters are staying put. Also, in light of other statements, the 'nuking' could refer to their god-like powers and not necessarily killing them. Without the Chosen of Mystra template, some of those chosen might be knocked down a few rungs to more manageable levels of power. It will hardly break FR to take away some of their immunities and deity level powers. They might restat Elminster lower level since he had to learn his magic all over again (possibly) and might even remove his cleric levels since he can't exactly draw divine power from a dead Mystra. I still think he might wind up a demi god to get him out of everyone's hair though. [/QUOTE]
