Mayhap it's time to raise a horde and burn HASBRO down to the ground!
I feel the stirrings of my northern ancestors screaming for blood, death and mayhem!
I think also lots of guys on ponies with funny little furry hats and Compound Bows wouldn't go astray either
The horde is coming... |

Tsk, tsk Talwyn... always with the barbaric urges!
Have you thought about playing a barbarian? oh! a barbarian/paladin would be sooo perfect for Talwyn! you MUST give him a few levels of barbarian when you upgrade him to 15th-level!!  |

Actually I had a slightly better idea: 15th-level paladin with Leadership and Dragon Cohort feat... see the email I sent you, and the new feat I created for you... (I posted this feat for everyone's pleasure under the "Running the Realm" section, "Skills and Feats of the Realms" post) |

The books periodically appear on eBay, as well. 'Tis where I send many seekers of old Realms material; I've found more than a bit of my collection there.
BTW, that site may not be entirely legal... Big Al or Tethy might come along and remove that link, for the sake of keeping the keep free of legal entanglements. |

Do you mean in general, or a particular region? If you just want a general overview, the FR Boxed set is the place to look, and there's suplements and other boxed sets for other regions. |

FR1 is (I believe, it's not in front of me) the Waterdeep suppliment - but there's also a boxed set The North which covers the environs, if not the city itself as well. There's various online links, but toril is down, I think. I haven't done much with/in Waterdeep, so I don't have anything on it bookmarked here, though I might have old references at home.

Ahh Ebay and game stores are a colletors dream. I have built a good collection of 1e-3e material off them and quite cheap too. Alos don't count the 3e Fr stuff out as well. Theres some things I don't like in it but so far the FR books have blown the quality of the standard 3e books out of the water.
And from what I have done of it conversions get easier as time goes on but I am having problems reversing the PrC's into kits...Sorry about the Ramble.
Ditto on the site though. It doesn't look legal but it's also seems to be based out of russia so Shutting it down may be tough for Hasbro but the link probably should be removed. |

I was looking through my copy of The Complete Book of Elves, and I could not find the starting ages for the different subraces. Is it not there or was I just not looking hard enough? If it is not there, could someone please supply it for me. |

I'd look, but I'm not running home on my lunchbreak just to check. Sorry.
Edit: Ah, someone beat me to it by mere seconds... Kentinal, could we perhaps get a page number along with those numbers? |

It is amazing what can be found on the net. I do not know page number. It is table 4 somewhere toward middle of Chapter 3, just before childhood is decribed. |

Yeah, it is nice of WOTC to allow all that information to be posted on the net. Awfully charitable of them. |

Not my site, found via google, I viewed in html as I do not care for rtf.
Hmm, not there, google has in cache at least for now.

Edit: Was not sure how a long URL would have displayed, I broke now into three parts. If somebody is going for the bloody thing putting the URL back together might work. Of course they could use a search engine as well.
