[QUOTE="scadgrad, post: 258943, member: 766"] [b]not to start an argument...[/b] OK here goes... Well how about Wild Magic for starters? Channeling Spellfire? Elven High Magic? Rune Magic? Portals everywhere. The fact that many PCs can & do start the game with several magic items due to Regional feats etc. IMO it has quite a bit more than the bog standard game & from reading the book I thought that was the point. FRCS p6 "Toril is steeped in magic. It permeates the entire world." Well the Portals, Elminster, Drizz't & other Godlike characters, dozens of PC races, countless Gods... I could go on & on. In short is there anything NOT present (in terms of classic fantasy cliches) in the Realms? Maybe it's just the FR campaign's I've been privy to. JMO, but it seems like a Computer Game world. Uh...OK let's see... 3 different subraces of Dwarves 2 types of Gnomes no less than 5 different Elves, including Drow a Half Drow 3 types of Halflings 6 different Planetouched Those are just the PC approved races. Or in every other PC party at MLGS. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I heard an FR player crowing about his 'human' character. Sorry but in a world where many PCs start the game with either a free masterwork weapon or a free scroll/potion or two, the evidence isn't on your side. Again I thought that was part of the appeal of the FRCS. As always though your results may vary... Oh Meepo, by the way...how are things back at the Old Sunless Citadel since that plucky group of adventurers left? Is your little dragon buddy still growing? ;) [/QUOTE]
