Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah boy!

It's fair to expect a gank squad after a spectacular beat down. True glory is achieved when one sub duals the entire gank squad ;)

Seriously. This is how legends are born!

["the awesome"]

Gut check time:

1.) EFU has always been vulnerable to falling into a dreaded "MMO State".

2.) As players - you are the guardians of this fragile balance between "amazing RPG world with great quests and player driven plots" and "SILENT MMO GRINDING".

3.) As players - you need to decide what kind of server you want to play on. Do you want to turn this beautiful, 10 year experiment into a shitty diablo clone, or do you want to make it the glorious bastion of creativity and player driven plotting that it is supposed to be?

Questions:

Is grinding to level 8 in a day something you will remember for the next few years?

Is making the same character and build over and over beneficial to your peers?

Is there anything exciting about the most intense power-build around that handily smashes any challenges it comes across?

Choose wisely friends.

Your DM's will serve as your guides to finding "the awesome" but ultimately we need your cooperation to make it happen.

If you've not experienced "the awesome" - you are missing out. EFU is here to make some cherished memories for you guys. Treat it with the love and respect it deserves.

The Welshman Returns!

Do what your character would do.

Will most characters try to find a reason not to end another character's life?

Probably.

Will every character behave the same?

Certainly not.

I always enjoyed lengthy trials, just not running them as a DM.

Approved. But barely. We'll be watching you.

Completed! Thanks to the participants.

Gentle reminder.

Kiaring come home.

Can do, sure.

History/Relationships: Born from the chaos of Dendar's rampage, Tyche embodies the chaotic element of luck - both good and bad. Through her mysterious actions, a person may discover immense prosperity, or suffer through a life of agony and decline. On any given day, adventurers, travellers, and merchants understand that luck is a tangible, and terrifying force in their lives. A chance meeting in a tavern, the deft placement of a blade, a broken lance, and the placement of a shadow -- each plays a critical role in the success or failure for many adventurers, and each understand that it is better to have fate on his side, rather than against him.

Dogma: All matters in life are determined by luck. Fate is mercurial, and forged by those that benefit most from this understanding. Through Tyche, all things can be understood. She embodies success, failure, and everything in between. Bow at her altar, pray for her favor, and plead for a life free from misfortune. For every person that is spared, one must be seized. Pray wisely.

Clergy: Clerics of Tyche break off into three distinct sub-categories.

Chaotic Good
Goodly clerics will promote the benefits of Tyche in a worldview that sees all events as an opportunity to gain favor with Tyche in order to promote a favorable outcome. They will donate to charity, attempt to bestow blessings of good luck on others, and some will even espouse that "Tyche favors the bold", still caught in the logic of a Tymoran mindset. Tyche tolerates this in order to gain more followers. She is cunning and realizes that the fear of bad luck alone will not maximize her ability to grow in power.

Chaotic Neutral
These clerics embody the true nature of Tyche. They are wild, chaotic, and incredibly fickle. Some will grant boons for no reason at all to passerbys, while others will curse and condemn at random a traveler that does not offer proper respect. The mercurial nature of the Chaotic Neutral cleric of Tyche makes him an oddity, and a difficult, if uncertain ally at best.

Chaotic Evil
These clerics personify the malignant side of Tyche. They actively punish and inflict ill fortune upon heretics and disbelievers. The bulk of these clergymen are made up of former clerics of Beshaba. They obsess on the merits of misfortune, and insist Tyche is primarily an evil entity. As with the goodly clerics, Tyche continues to grant these clerics spells in order to maximize her potential to grow in power.

Alturiak 11th : Year 161 : 1383 DR

Throughout Toril and the realm below, the Underdark, a strange schism is felt amongst the faithful - the criers in spellbeggar`s lane seem unsettled - looking to one another as if chaos and disarray have settled in ... the Tymoran in particular looks uneasy...

A strange group arrives in Sanctuary espousing the rhetoric of a new divine entity. Could this be the work of an enterprising trickster, or a legitimate new patron? None are quite sure what to believe anymore, but few openly defy the newcomers.

One of the reasons EFU is great is there aren't spoiler pages set up with tables of loot that show optimized selections and detailed analysis. These are things to explore and discover on your own.

HalflingPower, this thread is incredibly depressing.

Finally, some good news. Garem come home!
