Talk:Deer

Is this page really needed? The Red Deer is not unique to the Realms, and I would asume it's just like a red deer in the real world. Sort of like we were debating wether we should have articles like wizard too (and decided that they were probbaly a good idea, because we could write how wizards affect/experience the Realms), Although this dear (pun intended) article of yours contens a bit about how it lives in Cormanthor, it does seem a bit... Well... Holy perma-stub, Batman! :P Zerak-Tul 00:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)


 * My intention here is not to provide information on deer, because that's on Wikipedia, or even information on red deer, because, as you say, that's also on Wikipedia. The deer page here can act as a list of deer species found in the Forgotten Realms, where to find them, and how (if at all) they differ from their real-world counterparts. That way, if a DM decides, "I want to have my players encounter a deer, but I'm not sure where that could take place or what the deer would be like," they can look up the deer article here and find the information. Does that rationale make sense? Fw190a8 02:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, also, I realise the article is very short at the moment, but that's because this is the first time I (or apparently anyone else) has added information on deer, but it should grow as other deer information is added. The information is scattered amongst the sourcebooks (unlike a topic like "Tyr" which is pretty much in structured chunks in the sourcebooks) so it might come slowly.

LOL, I am surprised that deer actually exist in the Realms, seeing as how there are rothé instead of cattle. ➳  Quin 06:40, 3 October 2008 (UTC)


 * There aren't rothé instead of cattle; there are rothé in addition to cattle. ~ Lhynard (talk) 17:04, August 31, 2015 (UTC)
