Hi, how you been? And dump question: its valid for a non-priest to have more than one patron/favored deity?
Hi! I'm still slugging! And that's an awkward situation. Possible, but gods don't like to share. They'd constantly be trying to get the…

…demanding "do this for me" masters. I.e. character's life becomes a series of competing, conflicting missions. Have fun!

Poor guy. Thanks as always. There are exceptions: the gods who DO work together (the Triad, Mielikki and Silvanus, Mystra and Azuth)…

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 3, 2017

And Mystra and Bahamut? Both are highly magical, but dragon gods tend to be aloof guys. In that same vein, how about Mystra and Kereska?Mystra and Bahamut AND Mystra and Kereska. It's all about having the same divine aims. :}

in FR, would farming yields on an acre of land be comparable to modern yields? if not, how much less?; percent wise…?Heh. Realms farmers think of natural cycles (up and down over the years) not percentages. "Efficiency" for them is enough to feed …

is an Eldritch Knight fighter magic enough to be a Cormyrean War Wizard?I've always imagined most war wizards were evokers or abjurers myself

@ChrisPerkinsDnD My players are throwing a tiki party as a trap for an NPC. What's the Forgotten Realms' Hawaii equivalent? Chult stuff?

— TRASHMAMMAL (@DonovanGentry) July 26, 2017

The tortles who live on the Snout of Omgar (in Chult) have been known to throw some wild beach parties. #wotcstaff https://t.co/hE2ylxNEYB

Beware any liquid they offer you in a half-coconut shell. Unless the top of your head is firmly screwed on.(Hence wizards' tall pointy hats)

When Mystra returned, was there a sudden surge of magical force throughout the realm? Like wild magic?

— Peter Saumur (@Stitched) August 13, 2017

I suspect there were lots of wizards partying like it was 1369. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/UUtL89dQEc

Did Mystra return? I had thought that she remained dead and the magic of Faerun just kinda settled out to a useable state again

Your “like” means a lot! I know how much you were disaffected by 4th ed. and I was one, in the Shadows, supporting you. Like Salvatore… Different hands on the helm, driving in different directions, has been a strength of the Realms over the years (feature, not bug). If it…

Hey Ed sorry to disturb you, but how long would it take a ship to sail from waterdeep to luskanDepends on time of year and current weather (winds). Best-known run: JUST inside 2 days. Typical: inside 4 days. Heavily-loaded cog: 6 days.
