I've been lurking a bit on this thread, mainly becuz I don't figure to have the ability to input much towards any collaboration right now. My thoughts tho are this would be good for the community to have someone making mods (and Forgotten Realms is my favorite non-my-material campaign
).
Just out of curiosity, tho; has anyone read any of Terry Brooks "Shannara" series? I ask becuz most of the ppl here are die hard enough to know what an Ogre has for stats, or something to that effect.
But if you threw at the players some monsters from the Shannara series like a Gnarl, shadowen, spider gnomes, or procks they wouldn't know what they were.
I guess what I'm suggesting is to use as much non-standard stuff as you can, like the monsters that are Realms specific (anything with the word "bane" in it: Banelar, Baneguard (I'm sure there is a third I can't think of)). Chances are you know more examples than I do.
my two cents
