Adapting Planar Shepard for Faerun
« on: April 18, 2010, 12:49:17 AM »
A friend of mine is going to be going into Planar Shepard and we're playing in Faerun.  Right now I'm trying to adapt it to Faerun without cutting down on the charop potential  and I had two things to ask.  

First, I was wondering if someone had already adapted the fluff for Faerun.  

Secondly, I was wondering what would be a good plane for her to choose as her favored plane.

Flavor question? Just replace the names, 99% of the time thats all you need.

Shadow Creature in Ebberron? He worships the darkness (does Ebberron even had deities?) instead of Mask.
Planar Sheppard talks about flying boats and trains? Boats are on water and caravans move on land.

Book-to-the-head answer would be anything with a huge fast time trait but you don't want to wear your DM's arm out. How the negative energy plane so you can spawn countless uncontrolled undead as you walk though town?  :smirk

If you're trying to keep it true to Faerun, the planar choices would probably be what's available on the cosmology map in the FRCS p.257

Outside of the standard SRD planes that connect to Toril, I'm not sure where the rest of the Faerun planes are described with traits. I also don't recall hearing of any with the usually abused time flow changes.

Thank you very much.  I was having a degree of difficulty finding the details on faerunian planes, and this is a great help.  I blame it on finals coming up. lol ;)
