I dug through some of the source material I had, 1-3.5 Ed. and didn't find anything specific... I would assume that they are your everyday average surface orc tribe. Though this is pretty much an educated guess. If something isn't given specifics in source... it is usually pretty standard. I would guess they would see half orc as lessers, and gray orc as a rival tribe... (hence the constant hostility... and not just game mechanic).

It is mentioned that the Wood of Sharp Teeth has Orc and such, but no specifics that I have found yet... I do still have some more specific module/adventure type source books that I can look through still... sometimes those have more specific info than the campaign settings, atlases and what have you.

We might want a DM ruling on this. I have been told by multiple Dm's that the Orcs in Sharpteeth -are- indeed grey orcs, and am Rp-ing them as such. :?

What is the server lore behind Fey Heritage feats? What could someone who has all the Fey Heritage feats potentially know about the source of their abilities? What reactions, prejudice, or superstitions could someone with Fey background expect to face according to server lore?

Edit: I am not referencing warlocks or fey pacts.

Aside from just killing someone every ten days, what's a good way to RP a Bhaalist? I know the temple in Sharpteeth was destroyed some time ago, so that's no longer really usable.

Maybe baalists could start meeting at the ruined temple and trying to RP rebuilding it or something?

Not really a tip on RPing a baalist but it does sound like it could be some fun RP for any baalists out there.

Someone with these feats could RP full knowledge of their background if they wished. Reactions and prejudices will still vary based on your character's race. A human with all of the Fey Heritage feats should not expect prejudice, unless he specifically mentions such feats in his in-game character description for other players to see. A tiefling should expect prejudice, regardless of whether he has these feats or not.

A sly, tricky, and cunning spy. A con man. A gifted liar and a thief. Anything goes, as long as he isn't honest or self-sacrificing.

"You harness the power of unlife to grant yourself a limited ability to avoid death."
I would say this is a supernatural resilience. Blows that would normally injure you gravely are temporarily shrugged off, etc.

The temple in Sharpteeth was actually a Banite temple. The Bhaalist temple used to be where the FAI is now.
The evil guilds are still around, but you have to find them for yourself.

"got" myslef a copy of Draconomicon, and i have a question. Do humans with Dragon warrior class use dragon breath entirely the same way as a dragon, even develop a Draconic Fundamentum near their heart? If not, then how is it?

The 3rd edition Draconomicon, published in 2003, states (or should state; I don't have the actual book in front of me right now) that "[t]he draconis fundamentum is a gland possessed only by true dragons."
So mere dragon warriors do not possess this gland. Only true dragons do.

So how does a dragon warrior breathe fire, you ask? I refer you to the following post:

Administrator wrote:Each dragon warrior is bound to a single dragon clan. . . . In time the fires of the clan dragon awakens within her. . . . A dragon warrior can use a breath weapon once per day as a standard action. The type of breath weapon depends on the chosen dragon type.
For the RP purposes of this server, consider a dragon warrior's dragon breath to be a magically derived ability that comes from his bond to his chosen dragon type. No physical change actually happens to the dragon warrior's body.

Could a tiefling with all five of the Fiendish Heritage feats be an uber-tiefling, or maybe a half-fiend?

It is pretty well-established that the plane-touched races are, by definition, generations removed from their planar ancestors. Tieflings are a far cry from half-fiends.

However, a tiefling who has taken all of the Fiendish Heritage feats could certainly RP being some sort of "uber-tiefling," so to speak. His fiendish physical characteristics might be especially pronounced. And by virtue of possessing all of the Fiendish Heritage feats, he can certainly do things that other tieflings cannot.
