I've never plyed in this setting before, do you know of any websites that can show me how I can build my character? I was also wondering if it would be okay to make an evil character or if that doesn't lend itself to the Forgotten Realms world?
I am getting a list of links to FR resources on the web that will be posted with my campaign background in the
Campaign: Forgotten Realms: Play Thread as soon as I have it finished. But really, making a straight PHB character for this campaign is not going to hurt you in any way. Playing an evil character will be more of a challenge for you than for me DMing, as we get farther along in the adventure many of the players are sure to be doing good deeds and saving people, and you will be along for the ride.
Basically the easiest ways to fit an evil character in would be:
1. The character seeks redemption from her evil ways by joining a group of heroes.
2. The character is an agent of some organization that would like to know what the PC's are up to, or see them fail.
3. You could play a bad-guy in the adventure, though this may limit your playing time and options.
Since this is the OOC thread I think we are safe talking about this here, since Player knowledge and Character knowledge are different things. Noone should be using information gained it the OOC thread to help them in the game, your character wouldn't know any information from this thread.
