I also heard a theory that etheralness will allow you to view the elemental planes as well. Is this true?

Ethrealness will allow you to see the Ethereal plane that overlaps the prime.

[Hoihe]

keep in mind that we changed it to Greater Sanctuary.

[Deathgrowl]

Still have Ethereal Jaunt, though.

[Karond]

Yeah, where is the will save on that?

[Hoihe]

Elves and resisting extremes of the elements.

What is the max of their ability?

for Humans -62 celsiuses to 93 celsiuses as per extreme and more avarge:
-17 celsiuses to 43 celsiuses

I had seen differing views on elves and differing RPs. Some elves roleplay shivering and clattering teeth in the cold places like the Cloudpeaks or the Earthfasts, other elves say that elves are supposed to be able to withstand far more than a human without feeling uncomformatable.


So for FR elves, which is the truth?
Feel cold and be uncomformatable about it like an avarge human
Feel cold but don't be uncomformatable about it (no shivers, clattering teeth)
Don't feel cold and such ignore it Like Hoihe (silver dragon DW)

Feel heat and be uncomformatable about it like an avarge human
Feel heat but don't be uncomformatable about it (No extensive sweating, panting)
Don't feel heat and such ignore it like Andros,Iolo or Kelburn (gold dragon DW)


If it's subrace specific, let us talk of Wood elves.

If constitution plays a role then the said wood elf has 10.

[Xanfyrst]

Depends on the subspecies.

[Hoihe]

Well then. What's the case for wood elves?


And if possible, the other 4 that are playable (wild, moon, sun and dark)

I've been using these two links, and several others along those lines, to gain more lore about elves and wild elves... But after talking to someone in game I was told this was all 4.0 crap and should be ignored.. is that true and if so where can I find 3.5 forgotten realms elven lore? I've done a bit of searching and came up with none.

Who leads Amn? What type of government is it?

The Ardeep Forest?

What is it?

Where is it in relation to BG?

[Ol' Kel]

The Ardeep Forest?

What is it?

Where is it in relation to BG?

Far north of Baldur's Gate and directly east from Waterdeep, across the river Dessarin. It is a small but lush forest, around the size of Cloakwood.

I have a general lore pack of 45 core 3.X sources in pdf format relevant to our server. If you still need more information, feel free to let me know and I can check for you. Specifically for elves, review the following after downloading the winrar file:

Player's Handbook - basic information; page 15. vital stats for all base races; page 109
Faiths and Pantheons - a great source for information on deities the BG server
Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting - search the index for a large variety of references
Races of the Wild - A very comprehensive source about elves.
Grand History of the Realms - the name should say it all but do be aware that there are differences in the BG server time line. If there is a reference to the Gate or possibly even Amn, check the forums to confirm if an event conflicts with the BGTSCC reality.

Finally, any pdfs that have "Faerûn" in the name are sources worth reviewing, with the Races of Faerûn being a must read since it describes the various types of elves and relates physical, cultural and other differences between them.

The Ardeep Forest?

What is it?

Where is it in relation to BG?

Far north of Baldur's Gate and directly east from Waterdeep, across the river Dessarin. It is a small but lush forest, around the size of Cloakwood.

Could it plausibly be accessible to BG then? In the current state of northern expansion?

[Valefort]

Ardeep Forest is in the top left corner, there's a road and all.
