I've been doing some research for an upcoming Realms Campaign that I will be running and I'm using the second edition Daggerford acessory from the North Boxset. Since one of my characters is a halfling cleric of Tymora, I was particularly looking at Bando the Lame as a influential NPC. It was then that I noticed that Bando has conflicting information about himself int he book. On page 22, in the description Fairfortune Hall, his use of a crutch is explained as "a lasting memory of a nasty battle with three lizardman." Then on page 30, in the discription of his residence, his use of the crutch is credited to an encounter with troll in the Highmoors. While I realize that his is a product of faulty editing, I'm curious which makes more sense to the scribes here. Either seems to be plausable, of course, but I wonder if one would make more sense given Bando expeience as a 7th level priest of Tymora, and possible levels as a rogue as implied near the beginning of the description of his home on page 30.

I'd go in an entirely different direction: the crutch is because of some mundane injury. For sake of appearances, he tells all sorts of different tales about it. 
Or he could be spinning these tales because the truth is embarassing.  |

I actually like this idea, myself. How often are heroic, influential people embarrassed about something? It's original. |
