This is something I've been curious about, and maybe will do up a Homebrew thread on later. It started as a thought about how Faerun would look if PCs were made with the Mutants and Masterminds 2nd edition rules rather-than 3.5 DnD; given the classless nature of the game, the concepts wouldn't be stuck with the classes we're all familiar with, so I started thinking about the potential characters that could be made using those rules, but set in Faerun.
Question: if Faerun (the forgotten realms) had a team of "superheroes", what would that team look like?
I'm thinking more free-form than just a party of adventurers, per se. In a way, it's every team of PCs that adventure there (except the baddies, you know who you are). Still, "if Faerun had a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, what would that be like?" Another way of putting this would be "what would the Faerun version of X heroes we're already familiar with be?"
One example is that team in Waterdeep (forget the name) with the Frost giant in it (see the City of Splendours book; I don't have it handy).
Power Sources I can think of would be Spellcasters, Training (fighters, rogues, monks), Race (monsters and non-humans), Magical Alterations (bit by enchanted spider, etc.), and Magical Items (golem armor, weapons, etc.). Any others?
