Theoretically, more dangerous because inhibitions gone so he might "cut loose" with powerful magic more easily. However, I've never seen him drunk, just "happy," and a happy Elminster seems a lot safer than a grim one. Should I ask him? #realmslore

@TheEdVerse ever since watching your video on iron spheres, i can't help but wonder if a drunken elminster is more or less dangerous? given the remark about pina coladas, if you are willing to answer such an admittingly silly question XD

Are there any characters that you find very interesting but no one has ever asks about?

Oh, yes. Though after 56 years, most of them are finally getting asked about. People tend to start with the powerful ones, then move on to the "bad boys" and only later get around to the quiet ones. The wives and aunts and grandmothers.

But as he is able to control his fertility at will, is he not able to determine if he gets drunk or not?

Likely so. Which is almost certainly why I've never seen him drunk.

Please write down every word. I'd love to know what you and your alter ego chat about. 👍

Reminds me of this clip from a show called The Magicians. Where this character claims to have conducted a study on the effects of alcohol and spell casting. She discovered magicians cast magic 22% more effectively under the influence of alcohol. 😆

Elminster is the "happy-then-sleepy" type drunk at the party, confirmed. 🤪

Are the harpists still decentralized or in the fifth edition was there any change? Is there a leader, some centralization or do they still follow the Harper code?
