Message: <blockquote data-quote="jasper" data-source="post: 7138984" data-attributes="member: 277">My response to High Level NPC in FR. Hmm Tom Cruise, and Beyoncé are high level Bards in the real world. Guess who is not going to help you with your high school production of Grease? Or that evil gang of country and western rappers who are shaking down your friends for their lunch money.Now where was it every said the novels were canon? Especially for 5 E. Give me a statement, link, a quote from a designer of  5E, an Amazon gift card, etc supporting the idea that a dm MUST follow the novels. The only source books I know for 5E are DMG, PHB, MM, Sword Coast, Volo’s yo-yos Monsters, and the various adventure path hard backs. I am having Knights of the Dinner Table flashbacks on this thread where Brian is griping the hackmaster novels may no sense game sense so the writer did not know his hackmaster canon. “Doesn't matter. FR novels are canon. That's one of the things to love about the FR as a game setting.” Mirtek. Pray tell me where in the 5E books mentioned above that has this wording. Is Ed Greenwood going to show up at my house with his leather black jack of metal dice and discuss the errors of my ways?What do I consider canon? Only the hardbacks as I dm them. The DMG, sword coast, MM, PHB, and volo’s.  Even if I own the modules I don’t consider them canon till I dm them. And after seeing Greenwood wrote “Spellfire” none of the fiction books are canon.  The creator of Star Wars can say this is canon but Wookie Christmas isn’t. Too bad unless he sitting at my table while I dming Star Wars the RPG he does not get a vote. His Canon is only a suggestion when I start dming.</blockquote>
