12-01-04, 07:38 AM WotC, if this message gets to you, I and i'm sure alot of Baldur's Gate fans would like to see a sourcebook based baldur's gate 2 and the throne of bhaal expansion. It could have the character bios for all the NPC's, the locale's of Athkatla and its denizens, and lots of adventure seeds based in the Abyss and Bhaalspawn. Also I would like to see a template made called "Bhaalspawn" and how it affects your character such as having the blood of an evil god and so forth.

12-01-04, 10:59 AM Something similar to what you're talking about was released for 2e, Volo's Guide to Baldur's Gate II. I haven't looked it over myself, so I'm not sure how much of the information you're looking for is available there, but it's a good starting point. There was also a Bhaalspawn template released in Dragon magazine, but I don't know the issue number.

Yes, indeed he was, the only non-lawful of the dead three.

The Volo's Guide to BG II? No sorry I don't. It's not offered as a free book. I know you said your poor but rpgnow.com might have it for 5 bucks.......

2e FRCS
On Hallowed Grounds
Dragon Magazine Issue 322, page 94 His divine realm was called Khalas/The Throne of Blood, and it was located on the LE plane Gehenna.

He wasn't really the god of murder either. Bhaal never had "murder" as a seperate portfolio like Cyric has today and Shar had back during the days of Netheril.

Bhaal was Lord of Death (as opposed to Myrkul who was the Lord of The Dead), murder and violent deaths were only his most favored variants of death, but he was Lord of all kinds of Death.
