[/QUOTE]It's good you know they are diffrent, also the scale of them is much too diffrent too..

The fact that a tadpole is also a juvinle frog, and not a "seed"..


But let's take a step back, the PC is not of a mortal father.. just to throw a spanner in your works.

... Wasn't Elminster born before the Time of Troubles?

oh yeah, he was just a bit after the rise of Cormanther I think, he's OLD. But what about Raistlin, everyone seems to have forgotten about him... BTW this is Raistlin solo, with his full powers, however, not including time travel.

Elminster is ancient, centuries old by the time of the Time of Troubles. The timeline is unclear, but indicates that he may have been over a thousand years old at this time.

Sigh... ...

Q'alooaith, I take it that you have not played BG1 before?

Remember, it took two hands to clap to spawn the PC.

Assuming that Bhaal indeed has sexual intercourse with all those women, yes. He is a god after all (goes both ways really )

Maybe not in the normal sense, but it is still his seed. How he plants it does not matter. The timing of when he planted it though, is.

I have.

I was noting that you can play the game with the same char for year's and it has affect on the outcome, my current char has racked up over 600 day's in BG1 already..

So I do know that Charname lived his/her life in candelkeep, 20 year's of it or so your's told (which is why I like IWD better, your nobody)

Now the fun part you can be a full elf, which in most high fanstasy means near ageless, wolf island gives a clue to how old elves can get spellcaster's esp..

So while it take's two hand's to clap, they both could be there.


Anyway, I was pointing out that if the contest could be anywhen you liked there would be easyer time's to win the fight.

what did you expect, neither would be easy to best, and both at once would be near impossible..

Though.. there is that item that has a one shot imprissionment, just summon a simmy and then wham..

It still does not defeat the fact that Elminister existed waaaay before the PC.
