[Interest Check] D&D 5e Campaign

[Simon]

yeah but you have to restock it every now and then
in contrast, an arcane focus doesnt have to be restocked, but otherwise works similarly
however your particular arcane focus will only work for one class of spellcaster.

at least i believe thats the difference

[DatBird]

@Simon

yeah but you have to restock it every now and then

yeah but when thats the thing

[Mercenary]

Nope, the price includes all restocking you would need
Paying 25gp for a bag is madness otherwise.

[Simon]

yeah but you still have to take the time to do it is what i mean.
you have to stop off every now and then

[Mercenary]

For players gp rains down like shit but remember that in-world it should be like 20 bucks

[Mercenary]

I actually missed on my earlier posts
A normal person (soldier, teacher, not a muddy peasant) needs 1gp to carry on per day

[Simon]

@Simon

yeah but you still have to take the time to do it is what i mean.
you have to stop off every now and then

this is what i meant

[DatBird]

so just to clarify
I never have to restock since i have the pouch, even though its consumed, but has no price?

[Simon]

you need to restock it, but it will never cost you money to do so; thats paid for in advance essentially

[Ami]

im loving the human fighter tbh

[DatBird]

Yo im human too, cool human friends

[Ami]

im probably going to be focusing on a weaker part of my rp which is body language and describing movements and actions.

They believe in letting their actions speak for themself

[Ami]

Summary

SocietyEditar

A Calishite, Tethyrian, Damaran, Mulan, Illuskan, Rashemi, and Chondathan. [note 1]

While there were no natural human subraces, planetouched subspecies of humans were found in the Realms. These included the aasimars, genasi, and tieflings. There was also great ethnic diversity between humans in different regions.[12]

FaerûnEditar

The following were the most prevalent and largest ethnic groups to be found in Faerûn during the last two millennia of the Age of Humanitycontinuing into the Era of Upheaval. They were by far the most common ethnicities found within the Heartlands of Faerûn.[13]

• Calishites: These dark-skinned folk were plentiful in the Lands of Intrigue[ citation needed ] and were descended from the human slaves of the genie lords of Calimshan.[13]
• Chondathans: Although these humans spread across the Western Heartlands, their lineage could be traced back to the natives of the Vilhon Reach.[14]
• Damarans: The prideful and headstrong people that settled around the Sea of Fallen Stars were living remnants of ancient Narfell.[14]
• Illuskans: A proud, fair-skinned sea-faring people who hailed from the Sword Coast North.[14]
• Mulan: The humans of east Faerûn predominantly belonged to this ethnic group, a fact they held with much pride and arrogance.[14]
• Rashemi: A hardy and easily-adaptable people, descended from the nomadic Raumathar who eventually settled in Aglarond, Rashemen and Thay.[14][15]
• Tethyrians: Perhaps the most tolerant and independent groups of humans in Faerûn, these people were a melting pot of other ethnicities and greatly varied in appearance.[15]

Kara-TurEditar

• Issacortae, the shamanistic people of the kingdom in wild, western region of the Ama Basin[16]
• Koryoan, these proud and exuberant descendants of the Han lived in the Koryo Peninsula[17]
• Kozakuran, islanders of the Kozakura archipelago[18]
• Kuong, citizens of the jungle kingdom who spoke their own distinct language[19]
• Shou, one of the more influential ethnic groups that were found in the continent of Kara-Tur[20]
• Wanese, the ethnic people of the islands of Wa[21]
• Wu-haltai, the agrarian people of the eastern Ama Basin[22]

MazticaEditar

The native Mazticans lived on a continent east of the Trackless Sea.

• Azuposi, the matrilineal tribes of the Pasocada Basin[23]
• Green Folk, the short and dexterous people from the southern jungles[24]
• Metahel, a tribe of sea-faring humans from central Maztica[25]
• Nahopaca, hunter-gatherers of the central Pasocado Basin[25]
• Nexalans, a warring people from the Valley of Nexal in central Maztica[26]
• North Ones, desert-dwelling savage nomads from the northern wastes of Maztica[27]
• Payit, the proud and industrious tribe from Far Payit[28]

Minor ethnic groupsEditar

The following are ethnic groups which were either small in number, or who were most commonly found in lands far from Faerûn’s heartlands. In their own distinct regions, they might very well be the major local ethnic people.[15]

• Abbalayar, a group of humans who lived within a secluded city on Mount Abbalayat, within the Marching Mountains of Calimshan.[29]
• Arkaiun, the stout and dusky-skinned humans of Dambrath and Halruaa[8]
• Bavanese and Bertanese, the island inhabitants of Bawa and Bertan in Kara-Tur[30]
• Bawani, an ethnic group also native to the island of Bawa[30]
• Bedine, dark-skinned folk of North Faerûn[8] who were once nomads of Anauroch[15]
• Chultans, tribal folk that lived in the eponymous jungle[15]
• Durpari, the swarthy followers of the Adama along the coasts of the Golden Water[15][31]
• Ffolk, the darker-skinned seafarers of the southern Moonshae Isles[32][15]
• Gurs, the nomadic descendants of the Rashemi that lived in the Western Heartlands[33][34]
• Halruaans, decedents of Netheril that settled in the Shining South[35]
• Imaskari, a people whose ancestors hailed from the fabled Old Imaskar[35]
• Itzas, an offshoot of the Payit people who lived in relative peace and serenity[36]
• Lantanna, the copper-skinned worshippers of Gond[35]
• Nars, nomadic tribes of traders from the grasslands east of the Giantspire Mountains[35][34]
• Netherese, the pure-blood remnants of the ancient civilization were scattered across Faerûn[20]
• Northlanders, the war-ready sea-faring people of the northern Moonshae Isles[37]
• Nubari, a tall and brown-skinned shamanistic tribe of the Malatran Plateau[38][39]
• Raumvirans, the descendants of the Raumviran Empire settled along the coast of the Lake of Mists[20]
• Pazruki, shepherding tribes who hailed from the Koryaz Mountains[22]
• Purang, Kara-turans native to the land of Purang in Malatra[19]
• Shaarans, the darks-skinned nomadic hunters of the Shaar[20][34]
• Sossrim, a silver-haired people who lived in the frozen lands near the Great Glacier
• Tashalans, people that escaped the bondage of the Sarrukh[40]
• Tuigan, the 15 nomadic tribes that wandered the vast Hordelands between Faerûn and Kara-Tur[40][41]
• Turami, the displaced population that settled in the land of Turmish[20]
• Ulutiuns, an ethnic group of tribal Kara-Tur who traveled across the north pole of Toril to the Endless Ice Sea[40][41]
• Vaasans, descendants of Netheril that settled around the Moonsea region[40]

Some ethnic groups were no longer present on Toril:

• Han, an ancient people of Kara-Tur that were nearly wiped out by the eruption of the Kanko volcano[42]
• Talfir, a long-past group of people who lived alongside the elves in the Western Heartlands during the times of the Crown Wars[20][40]
• Tayanulchi, this tribe from the Ama Basin disappeared into the Land of the Snow Demons[43]

Other ethnic groups of humans were referred to by the continent on which they lived:

• Zakharans: A shorter, dark-skinned people who rarely left their homelands on the continent of Zakhara.[44]
