I know nothing of the forgotten realms except the Elminster is a munchkin

and Drizzt is a real strong guy, and a bit of knowledge about 4 or 5 about the gods, about the AD&D game itself, I have often been a DM even though I am still a bit of a newbie at it, I've only ever played 2nd edition and I won't be playing 3rd edition, I am just going to wait it out till 4th edition to see if they fix it by then, because in my opinion 3rd edition is kinda messed up, I rarely play AD&D these days though, it is so hard to find anyone to play with and even harder to find a decent DM, *sigh*, I wish I had someone to play with.
