08-13-05, 11:37 AM I've seen some references running around in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting book to 'fell creatures'. What in all of Faerun is a fell creature? I haven't seen it explained anywhere, and the fellow DM I usually ask when I don't know something (because he has this rat trap of a mind of random bits of information) has no idea either.
