Mystra (I hate the idea of a deity of magic, doubly so because she's good-aligned and interventionist; why can't the Weave take care of itself? Shouldn't it be the job of the PCs and other heroes to protect the Weave from horrible villains instead of Chosen?) Incidentally, this automatically weakens Chosen. Then, wait a hundred years and they're all dead of old age! Well, that's the way I think it should work; only a few of them have the ability to make Potions of Immortality or what not. I don't think Chosen abuse the PCs (only Khelben really has that kind of personality, from what I've read) but they certainly steal the show.Remove Eilistraee, as I think she's a dumb concept. If a drow wants to "go good", they should do it by themself, with intense RP, instead of "oh look, a naked drow cleric. *Zap* Alignment change!" I used to joke that simply seeing a cleric of Eilistraee was enough to make a female drow go good; finally, it took a six-part book series to fix that... in book six.Bluntly, remove a lot of deities; there's too many, especially for racial deities. I note that a lawful evil elven cleric is out of luck, unless there's some extremely obscure deity I haven't read about somewhere. I found myself groaning when reading "Siege of Darkness" where the dwarf priestess is praising all those dwarf deities, and I have no idea who any of them are! I looked them up. I pride myself on having a strong memory, but I can only recall two or three of them, with prompting. Creating strong pantheons might work, but that might just be stepping on Eberron's toes, and that still doesn't solve the problem of evil elven deities who aren't drow.Remove elf-worship and elf-itis. The next time an elf says "that's good human work, but of course not as good as an elf could make it" I'm going to organize an elf lynching. Elf-itis needs to go as well; even for a fantasy setting it breaks the suspension of disbelief to have so many elf types around.Make the villains competent, please!Remove Gondism from the gnomes. They don't need to be a one-note humorous mechanically-inclined species.Focus only on the cool areas. Mulhorand is, IMO, an example of an uncool area; ummm... is that just a copy of Egypt?</blockquote>
