I don't play FK anymore, but I still hop over and read the forums on occasion. Thought I would get this website out. I use it for pen and paper D&D when creating Elf names.

Lukon, I'll try and physically go through my huge 2nd edition Forgotten Realms collection and see if I can get a description for you. Once I find something I'll either post it here or talk to you next time I see you online.

Lukon, I currently have a "black" character that I play. He is Zakaharan, or from the Al Qadim setting in the Forgotten Realms. That is the Arabian Nights/Sinbad type setting for the Realms. I run him as a nomad/tribal warrior. In the Sinbad type movies you always see black guards or slave...

All I was trying to get at is that yes there are race specific things, but the fact is we are dealing with individuals. Most adventurers are not the exact, traditional models of their race. This would fall in the good vs. evil RP. I know FK tries to shy away from the individuals like Drizzt, but tha...

Yep. Saw that coming. I was not using current thinking. I had RP with Chameleon in the past and had no qualms with her. I even tried to get her to stop being around the teiflings. Is this bad RP in some people's mind? Obviously since you are getting on my case. If I used the decades approach the wha...

I've had some interesting RP with evils. Now I'm pretty sure some people will get on my case as I was playing a good dwarven fighter and coming to the defense of Chameleon the half drow. It was a fun RP in that I got to see the bigotry that exists between goods and evils. Good characters confronted ...

I haven't played recently, but I do know that my dwarf did not have that much of a problem with mages. That played out because the characters he was around were mages so he was used to seeing the magics they performed. Did I go around using potions, no. But if I was in a party and the wizard said it...

Just a general question along the topic lines, but for the Imm run RPs, is there generally a set level you are looking at for the characters to be? Table Top has the nice benefit of having the recommended level listed. I've been hesitant to join some of the RPs I've heard about, as all but one of my...

For instanace is the opponent is wearing chainmail piercing attacks would wound him, but wouldn't slashing attacks be blunted? etc.
I've seen video of someone slicing right through chainmail armour with an axe, so slashing weapons would still be able to do the job.

This comes from Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark (2nd Edition AD&D Sourcebook) Although the Stout Folk abandoned Ammarindar in such haste that cartloads of treasure were left behind, much of the dwarven realm’s wealth was plundered by demons, drow, and beholders. Nevertheless, t...

Spellcasting Prodigy

How exactly does the Spellcasting Prodigy work now? Seems like the new spell system made this feat completely useless, as it got rid of the mana system. That is unless it now gives you an extra 1st level or so. Spellcasting prodigy feat ========================= You have an exceptional gift for magi...

Then what about a compromise? The Strong Arm feat is currently a Mithril Hall only feat that allows dwarves to use medium weapons one handed. If this was changed to a Dwarf only, instead of Mithril Hall only, then it would essentially accomplish the same thing in regards to weapons. I understand ful...

I was just wondering if it is a possiblility with all the updates taking us towards 3rd Edition that Dwarves will be bumped up to Medium to coincide with their 3rd Edition size?

I would have to wonder though why code something that seems to be already there? Obviously you are already decapitating the enemies, and there already is an Improved Critical feat.

I've always enjoyed playing games in a polythiestic world. For most of the characters I've played in RPGs, I've never gone out of my way to pick a religion unless I was playing a more "holy" type character. I make it a point to openly praise at least 3 gods with my dwarven character on FK....

I know these aren't priority changes or anything, but I do like the idea of them. 1) Sizing. Dwarves in all the RPGs I've played in are considered Medium creatures. It feels silly for my dwarf to be going around with a Large Gleaming Battleaxe which I had to resize down to small so I could use one-h...
