Talk:Beloved of Lurue

The problem with this class is in its very name: beloved of Valarian. Valarian is not a Realms deity. This would have to be adapted as beloved of Lurue, or removed. Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 19:46, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I would imagine that's why StarSword included an "Adaptation for Forgotten Realms" subheading, Fw190a8. 67.142.130.35 01:33, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

67-whatever is correct. Though the Book of Exalted Deeds does not include an "adaptation" heading, it's fairly obvious how to fix this problem; it's merely a matter of semantics. When I started writing articles for the BoED prestige classes, I just wanted to eliminate red links. Adapting a class which references something non-canon is as easy as changing a word or two. Another example: Shining Blade of Heironeous could easily be changed to, say, Shining Hammer of Moradin, Shining Blade of the Red Knight, and so on. StarSword 15:46, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes you're right about it being a matter of changing a word or two. The wiki is written from an in-universe perspective (with the exception of pages about novels, sourcebooks, authors, etc) so any "Adaptation for Forgotten Realms" sections aren't relevant; the whole wiki is about the Realms. I've moved this away from beloved of Valarian to beloved of Lurue and redirected all the incoming links. Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 20:11, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. I took it the rest of the way and replaced all instances of "Valarian" with "Lurue", and turned the "Adaptation" heading into a note on the original "Beloved of Valarian" class.  StarSword 19:50, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
