A. Red Knight - holy symbol clearly visible

B. Flandal Steelskin - holy symbol clearly visible (even though the cleric looks more Dwarven than Gnome to me)

C. Kossuth - I was long in doubt about this, he seems so regal for a cleric of Kossuth in my eyes, but flames enough for sure

D. Eilistraee - Naked drow, with long hair and sword - just her goddess

E.

1. Okay, here first the way I go. Small person about the height of the Steelskin cleric, so we think of the smaller races
2. I conclude a she as I see some bust, and I notice a beard. -> Conclusion Female Dwarf (which could explain gold?)-> Dwarven Pantheon persumable
3. We see daggers on a helmet, a greatsword and to me something of an dagger or so on the necklace... Looking down the pantheon: Abbathor (taking coins into account, dagger as holy symbol) or Haela Brightaxe (greatsword favourite weapon, sword as holy symbol)
4. Cleric is female, so I think we have a kaxanar, a bloodmaiden, here ->

Deity: Haela Brightaxe

F. Mask - holy symbol and dress up

[Bluenose]

And the answers:

A: The Red Knight
B: Flandal steelskin
C: Kossuth
D: Eilistraee
E: Haela Brightaxe
F: Mask

So we'll start with a simple pair of questions, with a nasty sting at the end.

What races are available to your character in the un-modded versions of BG1 and BG2? Which of these races doesn't appear in the 2nd Edition AD&D Player's Handbook that the game is based on?

BG1: Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Halfling, Human and Half-Elf. And in BG2, all those and Half-orc.

Half-Orc.

[Jarno Mikkola]

Sorry for the post spree.

What races are available to your character in the un-modded versions of BG1 and BG2?

Actually if we really want to be picky, we could say:
In BG1; the above and, Wolf, Ogre, Flind, Black Bear, Brown Bear, Sword Spider, Mustard Jelly and Squirrel. By polymorphing spells.

In BG2; Baby Wyvern, Black Bear, Brown Bear, Earth Elemental, Fire Elemental, Fire Salamander, Flind, Giant Troll, Greater Werewolf, Greater Wolfwere, Iron Golem, Mind Flayer, Mustard Jelly, Ogre, Rat, Slayer, Sword Spider, Troll, Werewolf, Wolf; all by shapeshifting and polymorphing spells. And then there is the Squirrel.

[Deathsangel]

BG1: Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Half-Elf, Halfling and Human

BG2: Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Halfling and Human


The Half-Orc did not appear as a playable race in the AD&D Player's Handbook (later a book appeared on many other unique races you could play)


Unlike Jarno I am not going to say all those races you can change into as this time is to short for me to consider 'playing as'

[Tempest]

BG1: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Gnome
BG2: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Halfling, Gnome
Not in 2E: Half-Orc

[Bluenose]

Elves. In all sorts of varieties. The commonest are Sun/Gold Elves and Moon/Silver elves, but what other sub-races of elves (not half-breeds) exist in Faerun?







Answers:

BG1 has Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes, Half-Elves, and Halflings. BG2 adds the Half-orc. The one that wasn't in the PHB is the half-orc.

[Tempest]

Drow
Wild Elves
Wood Elves
Star Elves
Snow Elves
Aquatic Elves

Ash Elves, Blood Elves, Ghost Elves, Frost Elves, Dusk Elves, Eldar (High Elves), Luck Elves.

[Kellen]

Faerun or Toril?

Drow, Wild Elves, Wood Elves, Star/Mithril Elves, Snow Elves, Aquatic Elves, Avariel/Winged Elves(I am ashamed Tempest), Lythari(?Elves capable of transforming into wolves, similar to werewolves)

[Scipio]

To the elves listed already, add Avariel elves.

EDIT: Ah, Kellen just did.

There are actually about 30 taking all books, I believe once was stated on the WoTC boards... In 3.5 MM you also have different names but most of the time they equate to another elf. If I am correct Moon Elf = Grey Elf, Wood Elf = Sylvan Elf etc.

Taking Fearun (and not Toril or else you get a few geographical adapted Elves):

Sun Elves
Moon Elves
Star Elves
Wood Elves
Wild Elves
Drow (Underdark)
Snow Elves (around Ten Towns)
Aquatic Elves
Avariel

[Bluenose]

So after the pointy-ears, we move on to something rather shorter.

Dwarf sub-races of Faerun, please.





Answers:

Aquatic Elves
Avariel
Drow
Lythari - I'm counting them as elves, since the elves themselves seem to.
Snow Elves
Star Elves
Wild Elves
Wood Elves

[Jarno Mikkola]

Dwarf sub-races of Faerun, please.

Arctic dwarves.
Gold dwarves.
Shield dwarves.

[Scipio]

Duergar (Gray Dwarves)

Urdinnar (Ore Cutter Dwarves)

[Deathsangel]

Shield Dwarves
Gold Dwarves
Gray Dwarves
Arctic Dwarves
Wild Dwarves
Urdunnir
Derro (after all their god used to be of the Moradin pantheon, they are seen more as Dwarf than Human)

[Tempest]

Shield Dwarves
Gold Dwarves
