Azuth was a mortal. The scrolls were broken up by the time he ascended. Current Mystra probably hasn't either. Only potential candidates i can think of would be the Terraseer, Ioulaum and a Sarrukh lich. Maybe an unknown Netherese lich idk.

Well they might technically count. But yeah theyre different.

Forums predates social media as casuals would understand it. Technically correct maybe but I'm not thinking of forums when someone says social media. Ymmv of course.

It does. Its the way I would do it. Iirc 2E Netheril set you dont need them to start using 10th and 11th level spells. And its not going to matter anyway I just very few played those levels in Netheril set. I think they started them out in 3E as well. Looking at the wiki it seems...

Preventing healing fairly niche. More damage is always good. In terms of combat

I want to see that build in play. Seen elements of it but not full execution.

Yeah its easy simple archer build. Drop the odd fireball or whatever and you're good

So as the title says. I have seen a celestial bladelock in play. But the player had a good weapon and used 5.0 material to pick up racial armor and spirit shroud. Personally I lean towards controller. Bladelock is to reliant on 5.0 material and multiclassing seems almost required for armor...

Aware. I was more talking about them throwing money at it. I dont see anyone licensing it as Strahds a Dracula knock off. You could basically borrow most of Strahds story for free.

They haven't been presented that way. Theres one in Candlekeep mysteries. If you study it for long enough you get +2 intelligence (max 22) and advantage on saves vs magic. That's interesting collect a few of them and yeah...... Its what I would do Give them various abilities.

Wife went celestial. She stuffed on everything and used spirit shroud with 5.0 Gith. Aid stacks with heroes feat. Warlocks can get lots of origin feats. Toughness........

I didn't say 5th level was equivalent to a epic character. I said the level 19 spells are roughly equivalent to a 3rd level spell. That's not what people are thinking of if youre playing high level. It feels completely fake for high level. Same with minions. The epic 4E level 29 powers...

You were the one who went in about them being more than a glorified spellbook. Mechanically thats basically what they are. Mostly a plot device. In universe theyre awesome. Theyre basically a database of all things magical.

Still a plot device since PCs cant cast them. Old ones still running work afaik.

Once again its fluff. What mechanical effects would a wizard in 1358-1501DR get? Theyre basically a plot device for new spells.
