12-18-07, 04:51 PM If you was told you was being sent to another realm and had a chose Eberron or Faerūn, which would you chose? I myself would chose Faerūn! I would also learn to be a Mage too! :D

12-18-07, 04:58 PM AGHHHHH! Somebody cast Dispel Horrid Spelling!

I'd say Eberron, since I believe its originality save it from my Geek Hammer of Terrible Critics +3.

12-18-07, 06:09 PM Faerun. But only so i could get Elminster to teach me how he goes back and forth from Faerun to Eberron.

Salla
12-18-07, 06:57 PM Me, personally? It'd be Faerun, because there's several hundred high-level NPCs roaming the countryside dealing with everything that goes wrong.

If I was actually looking for adventure, as opposed to being my boring, cowardly, noncombatant self? Eberron. FAR more interesting.
DracoPhoenix
12-18-07, 07:13 PM Eberron, I just prefer the feel to it.

What?! Dragons. Are. Cool.

They also seem to have the who magic + crafting = technomancy thing down.

That and my DM won't allow spellfire :(

And There's only so much of Faerun you can save between the 2 BG & IWD games AND their expansions. Never mind NWN etc.

You just have to learn when to stop on a lost cause. That realm gets into more trouble than the Tarrasque after a vindaloo.

12-18-07, 07:17 PM i would chose that when i was bein sent i would go into faerun cause bullywugs are good at chosin for me when and if you was told you kno

Plane shift to somewhere other than Material Plane + Gate (Transportation version), both worlds are on the material.
DracoPhoenix
12-19-07, 06:35 AM Plane shift to somewhere other than Material Plane + Gate (Transportation version), both worlds are on the material.

If they are both considered in the same Material plane, Gtr Teleport would work - no range limit except the same plane.

If you treat CS material worlds as separate "Material planes" then there's always Sigil. Which could end up a campaign (or education) in itself.

OH SHI- Dispel Horrid Spelling doesn't work, we need a wand of Greater Dispel Horrid Grammar.....and maybe a +1 Mace

I don't know much about them but I would choose Eberron....because warforged are cool

He must've gazed the Far Realm...

12-19-07, 12:28 PM Eberron.

And I'd be an Artificer. :D

I'd then proceed to level to 20 and take over the world, eventually building a transdimensional ship that will take me to Faerun when I can hunt down and incapacitate Drizzt with my +5 Cheeze Bane Reapeating Heavy Crossbow of Pwnage. Crafted for free with my abilites.

Then I'd slowly turture him with awful wands I'd crafted for free in a quarter of the normal time, then heal him with cure wands crafted in the same way, only to slowly torture him again. Eventually, when I grew merciful, I'd simply end his life and post his bloaded, decapitated head on the prow of my ship.

Boo. Yah.

:D

You would unfortunately be too late, as I'd start in Faerun, progressing through warblade. Then I duel him for the quick, easy kill that would be like an infinite orgasm, but for my mind - just simply knowing Drizzt was dead. And all the while the duel raged out, I'd call him "Drizzit".

Perhaps we could meet up, and have a drow-beque, with roast kender alongside... then develop a multiverse conglomerate of trade and brutally efficient rule - where the weak are made to serve and the mighty reign eternal!!! Muahahahahahhaaaaa!

I mean... um...

Yeah. That'd be swell. :D

12-19-07, 02:34 PM Thank you Myfaeia. Every time I see this thread's title I have a good laugh.

I would choose Faerūn, but I wouldn't learn to be a mage.
tenguroEd
12-19-07, 04:22 PM I choose faerun, though I do like eberron, faerun seems more interesting to me. and I be some melee class, like barbarian, or ranger.
InkBlot
12-19-07, 04:48 PM Eberron. Eberron has both internal consistancy and indoor plumbing.

And I wouldn't want to live in a world where the gods have so much control and influence.
Fimbul
12-19-07, 06:16 PM Easy choice: Planescape! :D

And probalby as an Tiefling Planewalker of the Xaositecs, for a nice touch of sweet madness. :crazy:

The other setting I would go for is Ravenloft.
Gotta love the creepy feel of the mist in the morning! ;)

12-19-07, 06:43 PM Eberron ide take my weretouched master and kill every single kalashtar I could find:banghead:
Jaxgaret
12-19-07, 08:53 PM +5 Cheeze Bane Reapeating Heavy Crossbow of Pwnage.

Drizzt may sound like some sort of melted fromage, but I assure you it is not.

Also, I am unfamiliar with the "Pwnage" enhancement.

What book may I find it in?
CombatMedic
12-19-07, 10:46 PM Faerun. I'd convert to the worship of one of the native deities, thus avoiding getting shellacked into that big wall-o-dead-guys in the afterlife. If you die in Eberron, you just go to Dollurh. Not a fun place. Must think ahead, right?
Kelmourne
12-20-07, 12:49 AM And all the while the duel raged out, I'd call him "Drizzit".

Now that's just cruel (Also if you really wanted to mess with his head, keep telling him that you are Zaknafein)

Back to the question, does it HAVE to be one of the two? What part of those settings? How well of will I be? Will I be a jobless hobo wandering the streets of waterdeep or will I be a magnificent noble who controls a castle in the peaceful countryside? Too many variables. When in doubt, go with FR.
Jaxgaret
12-20-07, 01:04 AM When in doubt, go with FR.

Vice versa IMO. When in doubt, pick whatever's not FR.

Stereotypical day in FR: "Hey look, I just tripped over an artifact! Third one this week. Whee."

:)
InkBlot
12-20-07, 01:33 AM I've been wondering why this is in the Races board. Is it a race between Eberron and Forgotten Realms?

If you die in Eberron, you just go to Dollurh. Not a fun place. Must think ahead, right?

Dollurh* is just a truck stop on the convoy to the afterlife. Nobody in Eberron knows for sure what the afterlife is like, various conflicting and mutually exclusive belief systems notwithstanding, because nobody has ever returned** from it. Just like real life.

* Dollar? Duller? Is there a way to pronounce this that doesn't sound ludicrously silly?

** Anybody resurrected in Eberron is pulled from Dollar before they had a chance to move on. At least, as far as I understand it.
Jaxgaret
12-20-07, 11:02 AM I've been wondering why this is in the Races board. Is it a race between Eberron and Forgotten Realms?

You got it.

Perhaps doll-err-uh?

Well theres that, but chances are Elminster will protect you from anything really big.
GuyrtheadamantineOne

I pronounce it Dol-ou-rh.
madbliza
12-20-07, 12:38 PM I'd vote Faerun, simply because it is the closest chance I would have to killing a god and taking their portfolio for my own.

Oh and for pure humors sake, if I had to face Drizzt, I'd be a Frenzied Bezerker. That way I'm guaranteed to win even though I might not live.
baby_kamikaize_kobold
12-20-07, 03:02 PM How well of will I be? Will I be a jobless hobo wandering the streets of waterdeep

Please sir some of us respect the title of adventurer. ;)

Personally FR cause if there are that many high level heroes then I'm a shoe-in for becoming epic myself.
HernetheHunter
12-20-07, 03:16 PM I choose the 9 Hells! I choose the 9 Hells!

And if that is too merciful I'll pick Eberron and maybe driven mad by an unknown VD.
Jaxgaret
12-20-07, 06:36 PM I pronounce it Dol-ou-rh.

I sure hope that was a joke.

Based upon this answer, I'd have to choose Eberron.
EvilVegan
12-21-07, 12:24 PM Eberron. Changelings are hot. Sometimes.

Then again, sometimes they're dudes...

Eberron, definitely.
Myfaeia
12-21-07, 03:55 PM Yes just the two that was asked, and close to Icewind Dale! I myself would choose Faerūn and close to Icewind Dale! And yes I would also be a Mage and help Drizzt! As I would be a Drow female and a Mage!

Do you prefer cold weather over warm?

In Myfaeia's first 22 posts, you will find

8 sentences that end with a period
21 sentences that end with a question mark
28 sentences that end with an exclamation point

Of the 8 sentences that end with a period, 6 of them were in 1 post and were in response to a bulleted list. Additionally, this was her 2nd post. So I'm going to consider this an anomaly and throw it out. Also, I'm going to ignore the 21 questions. That means that 28 of her 30 statements (93% of them) end with an exclamation point.

The_Shaman
12-21-07, 06:07 PM And scrolls of greater ironguard. Being immune to the poison the dagger's been coated with doesn't help if the dagger is shoved up your back.

Seriously, I'd probably go with Faerun. I've checked the ECS and it sounds interesting, but FR is kinda like home - and at the same time, it's big enough that I can find my place whatever I want. It's not like I have to run into Elminster or Drizzt every second, after that: if I prefer, I may be perfecting my spellcraft in Haalrua, haggling in the Underdark bazaars, munching sushi in the Shou towns, or just chilling out in the Zakharan shisha bars. Speaking of which, what's Sememmon been up to lately? I've wondered if he takes apprentices... if you're going to learn the evil mage-fu, might as well learn it from a master*.

Anyway, why the hate for Drizzt himself? I realize the clones are annoying as heck, but it's not like he asked them to come up or something. Are you confusing him with the Manshoon ;) ?

*: one who can get things done instead of just turning people into undead anthropomorphic chickens, thank you very much.
CryoSilver
12-21-07, 06:26 PM I'd go to Faerun; better chance of finding a high level wizard to Gate me back to Earth.
FrostWolf
12-21-07, 11:56 PM Faerun so I could get lycanthropy. Most likely I'd be aiming for weredog. Taking myself for a walk on a leash, Playing Frisbee with myself, Chase a few catfolk around. And definately gonna wanna learn meself some magic. Grease is just too much fun to be without!

-I'm going to have to go with the Fimbul, and go to Sigil (Planescape).
Thenameless
12-22-07, 04:29 AM Although I like FR better, I would choose to go to Eberron. It seems like gods are practically walking the face of FR, and I wouldn't want to make trouble with any of them.

12-22-07, 04:42 AM I think I just took some pretty heavy intelligence damage for just reading this thread's title...

It's like Ebonics. But with letters!

Eberron; I like the Halflings that ride dinosaurs.
Aryxbez
12-22-07, 05:54 AM Although I would prefer to go to dragonlance, and hopefully be transformed into a minotaur, them minotaurs be awesome.

Otherwise I would choose Faerun, just so I could go up to Drizzt, and shoot him in the face..... with a hammer.

(by the way, who is original quoter of the hammer line anyway?)
Myfaeia
12-22-07, 07:32 PM Hun what I perfore is Living close to Drizzt and helping him anyway I could, but if I couldn't then I would live in the High Forest close to the Dalelands!
CryoSilver
12-24-07, 02:15 PM I'm not sure how any of us could help Drizzt. I imagine a conversation with a typical Realsman going like this:

"Can you farm?"
"No."
"Fight?"
"No."
"Do you have any useful skills?"
"I can program a computer."
"What's a computer?"
"Uh..."
"Here's a tin cup. Start begging."

12-27-07, 01:59 PM this is like the myriad of MySpace bulletins that ppl get flooded w/.
the answer, to me anyway, seems pretty simple; the realm you are most familiar w/ is probably the smart vote. for me, it's Forgotten Realms. i have more years of that under my belt than any of the others.
i mean, you'd have a terribly unfair advantage vs. the general populace of land 'x' if you knew everything from all the text you've taken in.

i mean, imagine knowing the "PHB and DMG to Earth". we're (most of us anyway) more or less the product of formal schooling which is a major advantage vs. your rank and file peasantry of Toril, Oerth, Ravenloft, Krynn, etc. Hell, we already kinda' know the MonManual to Earth in the form of basic zoology, Steve Irwin, PBS, etc.
transposing that kinda' know-how and 21st century ingenuity and one big ass leg up into a proto-renaissance setting is a sure way to become a sovereign very quickly...or get assassinated/abducted for your "uncanny insight".

Is that how he did it? or is that how it is assumed he did it?
Legdiwena
12-27-07, 06:02 PM Well, it's one of the two obvious methods. The other being Plane Shift, although he would need to know and obtain the proper focus. I was assuming going through Sigil to be the easier method.

Fimbul 12-19-07, 06:16 PM	Easy choice: Planescape! :D And probalby as an Tiefling Planewalker of the Xaositecs, for a nice touch of sweet madness. :crazy: The other setting I would go for is Ravenloft. Gotta love the creepy feel of the mist in the morning! ;)
staugroan 12-19-07, 06:43 PM	Eberron ide take my weretouched master and kill every single kalashtar I could find:banghead:
Jaxgaret 12-19-07, 08:53 PM	+5 Cheeze Bane Reapeating Heavy Crossbow of Pwnage. Drizzt may sound like some sort of melted fromage, but I assure you it is not. Also, I am unfamiliar with the "Pwnage" enhancement. What book may I find it in?
CombatMedic 12-19-07, 10:46 PM	Faerun. I'd convert to the worship of one of the native deities, thus avoiding getting shellacked into that big wall-o-dead-guys in the afterlife. If you die in Eberron, you just go to Dollurh. Not a fun place. Must think ahead, right?
Kelmourne 12-20-07, 12:49 AM	And all the while the duel raged out, I'd call him "Drizzit". Now that's just cruel (Also if you really wanted to mess with his head, keep telling him that you are Zaknafein) Back to the question, does it HAVE to be one of the two? What part of those settings? How well of will I be? Will I be a jobless hobo wandering the streets of waterdeep or will I be a magnificent noble who controls a castle in the peaceful countryside? Too many variables. When in doubt, go with FR.
Jaxgaret 12-20-07, 01:04 AM	When in doubt, go with FR. Vice versa IMO. When in doubt, pick whatever's not FR. Stereotypical day in FR: "Hey look, I just tripped over an artifact! Third one this week. Whee." :)
InkBlot 12-20-07, 01:33 AM	I've been wondering why this is in the Races board. Is it a race between Eberron and Forgotten Realms? If you die in Eberron, you just go to Dollurh. Not a fun place. Must think ahead, right? Dollurh* is just a truck stop on the convoy to the afterlife. Nobody in Eberron knows for sure what the afterlife is like, various conflicting and mutually exclusive belief systems notwithstanding, because nobody has ever returned** from it. Just like real life. * Dollar? Duller? Is there a way to pronounce this that doesn't sound ludicrously silly? ** Anybody resurrected in Eberron is pulled from Dollar before they had a chance to move on. At least, as far as I understand it.
Jaxgaret 12-20-07, 11:02 AM	I've been wondering why this is in the Races board. Is it a race between Eberron and Forgotten Realms? You got it. * Dollar? Duller? Is there a way to pronounce this that doesn't sound ludicrously silly? Perhaps doll-err-uh?
Kelmourne 12-20-07, 11:59 AM	Vice versa IMO. When in doubt, pick whatever's not FR. Stereotypical day in FR: "Hey look, I just tripped over an artifact! Third one this week. Whee." :) Well theres that, but chances are Elminster will protect you from anything really big.
GuyrtheadamantineOne 12-20-07, 12:04 PM	* Dollar? Duller? Is there a way to pronounce this that doesn't sound ludicrously silly? I pronounce it Dol-ou-rh.
madbliza 12-20-07, 12:38 PM	I'd vote Faerun, simply because it is the closest chance I would have to killing a god and taking their portfolio for my own. Oh and for pure humors sake, if I had to face Drizzt, I'd be a Frenzied Bezerker. That way I'm guaranteed to win even though I might not live.
baby_kamikaize_kobold 12-20-07, 03:02 PM	How well of will I be? Will I be a jobless hobo wandering the streets of waterdeep Please sir some of us respect the title of adventurer. ;) Personally FR cause if there are that many high level heroes then I'm a shoe-in for becoming epic myself.
HernetheHunter 12-20-07, 03:16 PM	I choose the 9 Hells! I choose the 9 Hells! And if that is too merciful I'll pick Eberron and maybe driven mad by an unknown VD.
Jaxgaret 12-20-07, 06:36 PM	I pronounce it Dol-ou-rh. :rofl: I sure hope that was a joke.
Legdiwena 12-20-07, 07:14 PM	Either Sigil or Negative Energy Plane.
Tyonisius 12-21-07, 12:12 PM	i would chose that when i was bein sent i would go into faerun cause bullywugs are good at chosin for me when and if you was told you kno ... Regardless. Faerun, I'd go up to Drizzt and be like "Wassup holmes, you wanna throw down, whazzup whazzup whazzup." Based upon this answer, I'd have to choose Eberron.
EvilVegan 12-21-07, 12:24 PM	Eberron. Changelings are hot. Sometimes. Then again, sometimes they're dudes... Eberron, definitely.
Myfaeia 12-21-07, 03:55 PM	Yes just the two that was asked, and close to Icewind Dale! I myself would choose Faerūn and close to Icewind Dale! And yes I would also be a Mage and help Drizzt! As I would be a Drow female and a Mage!
key 12-21-07, 05:01 PM	I myself would choose Faerūn and close to Icewind Dale! Do you prefer cold weather over warm? In Myfaeia's first 22 posts, you will find 8 sentences that end with a period 21 sentences that end with a question mark 28 sentences that end with an exclamation point Of the 8 sentences that end with a period, 6 of them were in 1 post and were in response to a bulleted list. Additionally, this was her 2nd post. So I'm going to consider this an anomaly and throw it out. Also, I'm going to ignore the 21 questions. That means that 28 of her 30 statements (93% of them) end with an exclamation point.
HawkTheOne-Handed 12-21-07, 05:19 PM	Either Sigil or Negative Energy Plane. Sigil for me as well.
Ikyotojin 12-21-07, 05:39 PM	Fine, but I get first dibs on all the drow women. :plotting: Better invest in lots and LOTS of anti-toxins. ;)
The_Shaman 12-21-07, 06:07 PM	And scrolls of greater ironguard. Being immune to the poison the dagger's been coated with doesn't help if the dagger is shoved up your back. Seriously, I'd probably go with Faerun. I've checked the ECS and it sounds interesting, but FR is kinda like home - and at the same time, it's big enough that I can find my place whatever I want. It's not like I have to run into Elminster or Drizzt every second, after that: if I prefer, I may be perfecting my spellcraft in Haalrua, haggling in the Underdark bazaars, munching sushi in the Shou towns, or just chilling out in the Zakharan shisha bars. Speaking of which, what's Sememmon been up to lately? I've wondered if he takes apprentices... if you're going to learn the evil mage-fu, might as well learn it from a master. Anyway, why the hate for Drizzt himself? I realize the clones are annoying as heck, but it's not like he asked them to come up or something. Are you confusing him with the Manshoon ;) ? : one who can get things done instead of just turning people into undead anthropomorphic chickens, thank you very much.
CryoSilver 12-21-07, 06:26 PM	I'd go to Faerun; better chance of finding a high level wizard to Gate me back to Earth.
FrostWolf 12-21-07, 11:56 PM	Faerun so I could get lycanthropy. Most likely I'd be aiming for weredog. Taking myself for a walk on a leash, Playing Frisbee with myself, Chase a few catfolk around. And definately gonna wanna learn meself some magic. Grease is just too much fun to be without!

Lord Karsus 12-22-07, 03:43 AM	Me, personally? It'd be Faerun, because there's several hundred high-level NPCs roaming the countryside dealing with everything that goes wrong. If I was actually looking for adventure, as opposed to being my boring, cowardly, noncombatant self? Eberron. FAR more interesting. :rolleyes: -I'm going to have to go with the Fimbul, and go to Sigil (Planescape).
Thenameless 12-22-07, 04:29 AM	Although I like FR better, I would choose to go to Eberron. It seems like gods are practically walking the face of FR, and I wouldn't want to make trouble with any of them.
SokenzanMarauder 12-22-07, 04:42 AM	I think I just took some pretty heavy intelligence damage for just reading this thread's title... It's like Ebonics. But with letters! --- Eberron; I like the Halflings that ride dinosaurs.
Aryxbez 12-22-07, 05:54 AM	Although I would prefer to go to dragonlance, and hopefully be transformed into a minotaur, them minotaurs be awesome. Otherwise I would choose Faerun, just so I could go up to Drizzt, and shoot him in the face..... with a hammer. (by the way, who is original quoter of the hammer line anyway?)
Myfaeia 12-22-07, 07:32 PM	Hun what I perfore is Living close to Drizzt and helping him anyway I could, but if I couldn't then I would live in the High Forest close to the Dalelands!
CryoSilver 12-24-07, 02:15 PM	I'm not sure how any of us could help Drizzt. I imagine a conversation with a typical Realsman going like this: "Can you farm?" "No." "Fight?" "No." "Do you have any useful skills?" "I can program a computer." "What's a computer?" "Uh..." "Here's a tin cup. Start begging."
Ecalsneerg 12-24-07, 02:21 PM	Forgotten Realms. I mean, there's gotta be some wizard who could teach you to cast spells, somewhere, right? There's milions in Faerun.
sigma999 12-25-07, 12:44 PM	The Abyss. Infinite. Demons. To. Kill. Just make sure to pack a staff of unlimited Holy Word, some decent protections, poison/disease immunity, and something that gives "Greater Teleport" and "Planeshift" as much as you'll need. :P
1 ton ghost 12-27-07, 01:59 PM	this is like the myriad of MySpace bulletins that ppl get flooded w/. the answer, to me anyway, seems pretty simple; the realm you are most familiar w/ is probably the smart vote. for me, it's Forgotten Realms. i have more years of that under my belt than any of the others. i mean, you'd have a terribly unfair advantage vs. the general populace of land 'x' if you knew everything from all the text you've taken in. i mean, imagine knowing the "PHB and DMG to Earth". we're (most of us anyway) more or less the product of formal schooling which is a major advantage vs. your rank and file peasantry of Toril, Oerth, Ravenloft, Krynn, etc. Hell, we already kinda' know the MonManual to Earth in the form of basic zoology, Steve Irwin, PBS, etc. transposing that kinda' know-how and 21st century ingenuity and one big ass leg up into a proto-renaissance setting is a sure way to become a sovereign very quickly...or get assassinated/abducted for your "uncanny insight".

A Connecticutt Yankee In King Authur's Court, anyone?
Red_Wizards_Rock 12-27-07, 05:28 PM	Faerun. But only so i could get Elminster to teach me how he goes back and forth from Faerun to Eberron. How and When did Elminster go to Eberron?
Legdiwena 12-27-07, 05:37 PM	The how is easy, he went through Sigil, no clue on the when.
Red_Wizards_Rock 12-27-07, 05:54 PM	The how is easy, he went through Sigil, no clue on the when. Is that how he did it? or is that how it is assumed he did it?
Legdiwena 12-27-07, 06:02 PM	Well, it's one of the two obvious methods. The other being Plane Shift, although he would need to know and obtain the proper focus. I was assuming going through Sigil to be the easier method.
obscidiandragon 12-30-07, 03:49 AM	If you was told you was being sent to another realm and had a chose Eberron or Faerūn, which would you chose? I myself would chose Faerūn! I would also learn to be a Mage too! :D I would chose Eberron, and learn psionics from either the Kalashtar or Inspired. Probably the Kalashtar. Dont know what discipline I would chose, depends on what my natural talents were.:)
