#dnd tip for combat encounters: when designing the area, think about what makes it different than other areas? How can the environment make the action cool, either in a grid-based or a more narrative running? What's the terrain? What objects are around? Does movement matter?

just to be sure, saints ARE in the realms but info about them has been removed, because of anti-popluar demand? just making sure, i have a…saint thing going, would hate to run something that goes against the spirit of the thing :I #dnd #forgottenrealms Saints ARE in the Realms. See all the references in the 2e LANDS OF INTRIGUE boxed set by @StevenESchend !

Many references, due to halflings selling it locally, are to "pipeweed." In the Realms, for some reason, the collective term is rarely used; instead, folk speak of a specific blend they're smoking or want to purchase or sell.#Realmslore

Sages ponder follies such as: Can humans and dragons breed?
And then they pen books about such things, that no one bothers to read— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 22, 2019

If their was a strongman contest in the Realms (human/demi-human) like the MetRX World’s Strongest Man contests, who would be the top contenders? Thanks! Depends on time and place you speak of. For instance, Waterdeep in the 1350s DR: Madeiron Sunderstone would be a contender.

Hello! Want to ask about ffolk. Why two ff? Is it for «free folk» cause of their abondoning home and creating new one? It's because the Ffolk are based heavily on the Welsh. In Welsh, Fs are pronounced as Vs. So David is spelled Dafid. To designate the actual F sound, they used FF.

@TheEdVerse can a noble house/family be cast out of nobility by the rest of the nobility in Waterdeep?
— DJ Tigon (@djtigon) March 18, 2019
Oh, yes. Not officially, but a firm-majority-shunning would be recognized by the Masked Lords and formalized by the Open Lord. It’s very rare, though, because unless a noble house is trying to poison the water supply or destroy the ancient elven magic that keeps… 2)
…the city from collapsing into Undermountain, or otherwise endanger the entire city, getting a majority of the nobles to agree on much of anything (beyond "we nobles are special, and should be treated as such") is nigh-impossible.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 18, 2019
What then might be the penalty if it came to light that a noble house wound up having a tainted bloodline and not truly being human after all No likely legal or official penalty at all, just a loss of prestige and influence ("standing," they'd call it in the Realms) within the ranks of nobles, because some of the oldest, wealthiest, haughtiest Deep houses have some "humans first, humans pure" attitudes.#Realmslore

It would only be exile from Waterdeep, or a refusal to accord members of thnat family with the "rights" (privileges) of noble status, NOT a "stripping of ennoblement" that the Heralds would recognize.
Would the Heralds recognize such a verdict? If so, would it only be in Waterdeep? When two noble families were famously outcast from the Deep, …#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 19, 2019

Hmm, this might be 4e stuff that's been swept under the pelt, but I think that Dagult Neverember was forced out of waterdhavian nobility for his "excessive" involvement in Neverwinter and lack of presence in Waterdeep. Is that right? #Realmslore

1)
In the eyes of Waterdeep’s nobles, Dagult Neverember was never IN their ranks. The Open Lord and Masked Lords need not be of the Deep’s nobility (and the Open Lord hasn’t really ever been), and often function more as a check/rival to the nobles (though the…#Realmslore2)
…nobles usually have some representation among the Masked Lords, both to be a part of/informed about the governing debates and rule-making, and because there are always some nobles who personally like wielding power.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 19, 2019
Is Dagult generally disliked in Waterdeep or does he still have supporters? Both. As in: he's generally disliked (as in, by the city at large; among the current Masked Lords and Palace staff, he's remembered with loathing, as are many individuals who stir things up), but still has a few supporters.#Realmslore
