[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7137622, member: 6801228"] Well, me personally? Not even close. I've never read a single FR Supplement other than the SCAG. I'm too young for them. However, from anecdotal discussions I've been told he is a busybody, now that may be untrue or an exaggeration, but that is how he has always been described to me. Isn't Elminster the Chosen of a Deity, and doesn't that mean that she basically handed him a bunch of power? So... what context does Elminster's power coming from a deity get ignored? I mean, you're the one who made such a broad statement about NPCs, for me that includes gods, angels, spirits, demon lords. If it is not a PC then it is a NPC. If a NPC is granted levels by a god, then that is within the context of mortals. Please don't claim me willfully ignorant when you are the one making the broad statements I'm responding to. What are you seeing here that I'm not that is leading you to be so rude and dismissive. He didn't say that was the way it should be, he didn't say that was the best way it could be, he didn't even say it was the way he runs it himself. He said that was the way they are by "[B]by their canon characterizations[/B]" meaning the way they have been written by DnD writers. It is stupid with a good possibility to ruin the game, that is why the advice people keep giving is "ignore how they are supposed to be because it will ruin your game" [/QUOTE]
