How would the Reamites react to this spirit of giving? How would each race react? How about the Gods/desses react? The major NPC? What types of presents would Santa grant them? What are Santa's stats? What about Mrs. Clause, Rudulph, the otehr reindeer or Black Peter? What kind of elves/dwarves does he use? What about Frosty and the other Christmas special characters? Opinions? Or Holiday Cheer?
Lashan 12-18-03, 08:51 PM	Why, I think he would be a "Chosen of"! If I had to pick who, why I'm not sure. Perhaps Liira! She is the mistress of joy and all that. She likes celebrations and holidays. That's who I would think. The others are also "Chosen of". Jack Frost is a "Chosen of Auril". I think that is obvious. He is always jealous of the other chosen and is trying to stop them and stop Christmas all the time. Just look at how he stole Frosty's hat!
HVulpes 12-18-03, 08:56 PM	Would that make Frosty and Crystal, Auril's enemy? Good creatures of snow. Who is their patron? And what day would Santa come in the Realms?

Wooly Rupert 12-18-03, 09:40 PM	Actually, Santa has been statted out. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/dx20011222x Go there, and you can d/l a pdf with Santa's stats and 3 Santa wallpapers. There's a link on the side to a page describing his workshop.

Lashan 12-18-03, 09:57 PM	I think Frosty and Crystal would be "Chosen of" either Chauntea, or Silvanus. I would want to say Silvanus, but only b/c he never gets mentioned. Frosty does have that cheerful type of attitiude I always associate with the Earth Mother. Since she gave all life to all things on the planet, perhaps she also gave life to Frosty? Auril dislikes Frosty as she cannot kill him with her wintery breath. Frosty, though, just doesn't care about Auril. Without winter, he wouldn't get to see the children, so he remains ambivilent. Crystal, though, is a little on the careful side. She doesn't want to anger Auril too much and is a bit fearful.

If you're referring to the reader for pdf files, then it can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html Once the reader is installed, you can read any pdf, not just WotC stuff.
HVulpes 12-18-03, 10:48 PM	But how does Santa related to the realm? How does he affect the world of Elminster and the rest? Does his Stats change due to the Realms? Does his world change to reflect the world of Faerun? Any ideas?

Selcar Of Selendar 12-19-03, 12:08 AM	Well see Santa has been around for a long time same with his helper elf. Now a long time ago Gond wanted to put his crafts skills to a even better use. So he grew his beard out and made it white (cuz gods can do this ) made himselfs a slay, rounded up some Ducks ( now this was the first time, so it was not perfect) so it could fly. Now the ducks were good and all but they died fast, so he got deer. Now he asked Corelan to be his helper elf and so the rest of the elven pantheon had to do stuff to. So there is the history of Santa in FR
