I've been Rping for quite awhile now, but refused to actually go out and purchase the 3ed books (mostly because the art and sheer insulting simplicity of the writing turned me off) I want to start on Avlis with a bit of a framework for my characters (I had a geeky Wizard wracked by a horrible physical afflication and ghost pale skin when I started in Arleah) the best character qualities are gained through RP and ultimately trying to react uniquely to different situations, but I think all characters start out with a good history.

I have a few questions:

Are drow automatically "evil", or can I have a non-evil drow?

Is their an underdark?

What is a psion? I am very familiar with second edition psionics and psionicists. (and was interested to find out that psionics are actually trusted, a difference from the witch hunts I was used to in Pnp) I actually have a psionicist I'd like to convert to Avlis and even have a psionic philosopy that I've grown rather fond of. But I've been poking around NWNvault looking for a psionic class to play through single player with when I found a psion and uses something called psi crystals and got very scared that WoTC might have butchered psionics. Some information on the powers would be awesome so I can figure out how they are used in RP situations. Like the evil psionicist uses pyrokinesis to pry information from a goblin scout.

Are psionics openly flaunted? or accepted, even respected, but I don't want to know about it?

Whats the Psion Warrior class?

I was a bit scared when I found out your items could be looted from your corpse....and am rather suprised this hasn't caused its fair share of OOC bad blood. Any words of comfort?

How easy is it to find low level characters to adventure with? (5-10 range)


How are different languages handled? I know on another server I play on we use so called language tokens. You must have the token to see the real text, otherwise it just looks like babble. (annoying when your wizard with 23 int has been waiting weeks for his 6+ languages he shouild know.

I like this question: are all my questions annoying you?

What are feelings towards "Special Races" I know this is on a character to character basis. But are certain territorys more prone to hatred towards one race or another? I'd imagine a wemic would get a funny looks going into a human village.

If my questions can be answered elsewhere, please direct me to it.
