I dunno about order ...
I was talking about grove only ...

I mean i dunno about common customs within order, but just from common sence it seems like:
"You cant be first druid, since you didnt beat previous one in fight!"
"No i didnt ... so what?"

But maybe that is just my feeling. laugh

And yet he is. laugh

Yeah i know, Larian is not using proper stats ... or proper HP calculation for those stats.
But that is different topic. wink

[quote=gabrielled]I honestly don't see why he couldn't be a level 10 other than "well, then the party would be wiped out" (a level 1 party getting wiped out by challenging something ridiculous like a dragon, a company of githyanki, or the master of druids should be happening IMHO
I would agree ...
But the problem here is that you dont "challenge something ridiculous" in his case ... that "something ridiculous" is challenging you. laugh

If you join Minthara and wipe out the grove, Halsin came at night to get his revenge ...

I didnt know this is possible. O_o

I dont like this idea ...
I would rather see Larian to make sure we would not outlevel our enemies too fast.

Seems like either placeholder, or misstake that was corrected allready. O_o

The Second Sundering brought all of the gods back, but the Dead Three were bumped down to Quasi-Deities by the end of the 15th century (remember, Second Sundering ended in 1487DR, so it's been only 5 years), who are basically beings who can't die but are pretty much mortal in every other way. Myrkul is currently serving Kelemvor. Dunno what Bane and Bhaal are doing, but I doubt they'd be able to grant spells.
No idea man ... i really dont know DnD lore good enough to continue in this topic. laugh
I only know that i believe i have heared Wolfheart talking about it, in one of his lore videos ... thats all. laugh

Myrkul died in 1358DR. Selective blindness seems to curse everyone in this game, since the Gur blithely ignores my PC calling Astarion by his name (not to mention pasty white skin, red eyes, and fangs).
That seems like general problem in litteraly every fictional universe ...
Especialy comics ...

I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. frown
Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are! frown
