#2 EthanSental Jun 28, 2015 15:02:38	my take is kind of like Gandalf in the Hobbit novel, pops into play to share info or provide some clue or guidance, not so much combat help.
#3 gmanjkd Jun 28, 2015 19:45:24	I hope so.  Shortly after I posted this, I found a quote from Chris Perkins stating that the PC's would be the stars of the Adventure.  That was encouraging.  Looks like I jumped the gun on this, or just misinterpreted the anouncment.  I am looking forward to it as well.

But I feel that anything more than that would ruin the feel of the adventure.

#6 BRJN Jul 07, 2015 18:12:30	I too would be bummed to have to stand in Drizzt's shadow.  But I wouldn't mind a plot device to the tune of "When you gat back to the inn for the night, the bartender hands you a letter.  Your adventuring group has been asked - by name - to help with a certain problem that requires special talents and qualifications.  It is signed by some guy named Drizzt.  Interested?"

But the new Guide does not include anything else connected to Out of the Abyss, so I doubt there will be a new player pdf that includes anything not in appendix A. So we may see a free player pdf of whatever is in appendix A, or we may not, depending on how much material is in it.

#17 FabioBLK Aug 12, 2015 23:36:37	Yeah it could get frustrating I agree. Especially with entity's like Orcus. How do you classify the undead demon minions are they undead or demons. In the tiamat instance I would have to side with the GM there, although she is listed as a fiend in RoT. I'm of the belief that deities are outside of the conventional classifications and rules that apply to mortals. What do you think?
