I have a job too and while I have quite a bit free-time to put into things like this, I really don't have the patience to work half a year on such a thing.

Half a year would be excessively optimistic for a substantial mod. I conceived of Arkalian in November 2005 and she's still well over a year away from completion, my life having flirted with the rails but repeatedly run off over the intervening time.

well, the general idea was that while Karnitia herself is unable to interfere ( why, that won't be a fight just a 'god blew you to smitherens on will' ) so she sends her "minions" who are as powerful as lesser gods but shouldn't quality as truly divine beings. Not to mention, why the hell would Karnitia know or care about Ao's command not to interfere.

Because Ao's role in the story of the Forgotten Realms, basically, seems to be "fighting fire with fire" as far as characters becoming Munchkins, and he's pretty much omnipotent as far as anyone in the FR can tell.

PS: Scripts aren't that difficult. Areas are a bitch.

PSS: If you seriously want to do something like this, I suggest the Elder Evils sourcebook for ideas on how to incorporate a plot like this into the FR setting. The link should take you to the Amazon page; there are probably other sources worth checking too.

Since my husband is on vacation for the next week and will be entertaining the kids, I might actually be able to do some heavy duty plotting...

wow how lucky u are! i know this is out of the topic but any ideas to suggesr me to do the same wiht my bf? a week all alone... is heaven!

Have you tried detailed descriptions of what he'll be coming home to? If done right, that certainly might work on me...

I want to throw this out there and see what people think of it. I'm absolutely not saying this is what I intend to do - I'm just seeing what the response is to it. What would you all think if bringing Yoshimo to Spellhold was required? I'm not going to elaborate beyond that, but something popped into my head and I kind of like it, but I'm flexible and I'd rather see what people think before developing it father than "random idea" status. I'm not fond of requirements personally, but this particular one just seems very convenient.

How are you going to make it clear to people who don't necessarily read readmes that they'll need to do that? Or do you care about them? (Bluntly).

Personally, I'm not likely to use this, but this looks like a useful utility in principle.

A thought. Haer'Dalis is apparently accustomed to seducing women he fancies into one night stands; perhaps giving the PC an option to put him on the receiving end of that sort of treatment would be one angle for developing the romance - the role reversal would be something he would have to come to terms with and would probably intrigue him.

Three is something I'm still debating, but it would be for a bard PC. Or, rather, a like-minded bard PC who has similar ideals/desires. A kindred spirits type of thing. Which one of these tracks the PC takes could be determined by the first dozen LTs (early stage) and how she reacts to HD's questioning, etc.

You might consider extending this to all non-lawful rogues, not just bards - I can see Haer'Dalis in a similar situation with a swashbuckler, for instance...
