When the Gods walked Toril.. - Downloaded from the Wizards Community, all coding removed by Solauren

Magical Chaos Table Employ the table below whenever spells are cast or magic items and artifacts are activated in the Realms, at any point after the storm (see Chapter 1 of the adventure). The DM should decide on a case-by-case basis whether the spells of avatars, Elminster, and Midnight are affected (do whatever best suits play as it unfolds, but don’t reveal this to the players). The DM should modify percentile die rolls as follows: for every experience level of the spellcaster (magic items = 6th level, artifacts = 12th level), +1; if the spell or effect contributes to chaos or drastic change of a given locale (e.g. fireball or polymorph spells), +12; and +4 if the spell (items and artifacts cannot receive this bonus) is small and simple, such as a 1st or 2nd level spell or a cantrip. When the modified score is determined, consult the table below: Percentile Score 01-19 Spell rebounds on caster, with full effects (if impossible due to nature of spell, re- roll). 20-23 Pit opens instantly beneath the caster (depth varies at DM’s option); there is no other spell effect. 24-27 Target of spell (or caster, if spell has no target) is instantly pelted with fiery red flower blossoms that materialize and vanish again 1 round later. Blossoms do no damage, but prohibit accurate aiming of wands or missile weapons, and prevent reading of books, scrolls, inscriptions, and the like. 28-31 Spell affects random creature or area (DM’s option) rather than the intended target area. 32-35 Spell functions normally, but any material components are not consumed, and spell knowledge is retained by the caster or the charge is retained by the item. 36-39 Spell functions normally, but magical energy is released around the caster, healing any injuries of any beings within 1" of the caster (includes fatigue, feeblemindedness, etc.). 40-43 Total darkness and silence occur in a 3” radius about the caster, and last 2-8 rounds. 44-47 Reverse gravity (cf. spell) effect occurs in a 3’ sphere about the caster, lasting 1 round; caster included in the effect. 48-51 Shimmering colors dance and play in a nimbus around the caster, blinding caster and all creatures within 2” for 1-4 rounds. 52-59 Nothing happens; no spell effect occurs. 60-71 Nothing occurs; no spell effect, but spell knowledge or charge is not lost. 72-98 Spell functions normally. 99-00 + Spell functions with maximum possible effects, full damage, maximum duration.

I thought of maybe all spells and payers go unanswered the first day. The time until they return to their place, the spells etc will be of lessor effect if the follower are a long way from the geographical location of the Deity. If they're close the effect will be that much stronger. How does that sound? I couldn't find any rules for it.. -Khelben

Might try to google it, or Ebay it... maybe even look on Amazon to see if the novels are available, as most of the information in the modules is probably lifted from extrapolating information from the novels in the first place.

#4 markustay63 May 11, 2009 13:31:50	Those tables are reproduced in FRA (2106), but I do recall an even more comprehensive one somewhere. When the gods walked Toril... ... they left REALLY big footprints? :P
#5 Khelben7 May 11, 2009 17:46:11	I've been a d&d fan since somewhere in the 80s. I have alot of Forgotten Realms books n boxes stored away. I just always thought that they transferred all the important info to the newer versions... Well, I have been out of the hobby for almost a decade so memory about these things were at best pretty vague. Thx for the Shadowdale Chart. I found that as well. I also recovered the Old Tome of Magic, which has an extensive Wild Magic Table - some 100 different results (d100). I might make a combination of the two. But there's no description of the effect of having the Gods close 'at hand'. The Shadowdale Adventure says that the Table given by Lord Karsus is used ever since The Storm, which I guess is the arrival of the Gods to Toril. But what happens with Magic Users spells when Mystra is slain by Helm? -Khelben
#6 lord_karsus May 11, 2009 20:46:08	-When the deities were "cast down", there was a big ol' storm, yes. As for how magic would work after Mystra was killed by Helm, at the end of Shadowdale, I would simply use the same chart. Wild Magic is Wild Magic.
#7 Khelben7 May 20, 2009 5:47:56	I've researched the history of ToT and it spands over a couple of months. That is a long time in actual gaming-time where the Magic and Prayers are unstable. Anyone got an idea for this? Maybe a test of Religion/Arcana before using the power or a Will save....? -Khelben
