#1 Khan_the_Destroyer Nov 30, 2012 0:49:16	I'm not very familiar with the Forgotten Realms, though I've read several of the Drizz't books, and I'm wondering what are some elements or types of characters that are sort of unique to the Realms and/or indicative of the Realms. I'd like to flesh out some characters for a potenial FR game and I want to make something that is iconic to the campaign setting. Now most characters can be from any campaign, but as an example, if I was playing a PC that was a Harper, or on his way to becoming a Chosen, I'm probably in a FR game. So what are some other themes that fit the Realms? Thanks for your expertise !
