Gold Gold is a precious metal that is used in Faerûn as the baseline of most currency . Worth . Most coins in Faerûn work off of the silver and gold standard , with copper pieces ( cp ) being worth 1 / 100th of a gold piece ( gp ) and silver pieces ( sp ) being worth 1 / 10 of a gp . Electrum coins are worth 1 / 2 of a gp , and platinum coins are worth 10 gp . Gold coins are usually minted circular , without any holes , an eighth of an inch thick and an inch - and - a - quarter in diameter , weighing approximately 9 grams each ( or 50 to one pound ) . Any less than that and they are considered by most to be " shaved " and worthless . The metal is valuable to many artisans for its malleability , its aesthetic qualities , and the fact that it does not tarnish or rust . Conversion . Simplified : 1000cp = 100sp = 20ep = 10gp = 1pp Uses . Gold is prized by many wizards for it ' s magical properties . If refined and treated with the right magical processes , gold can become as hard as steel and then used to forge effective armor and weapons . Acid and fire are less effective against said pieces of equipment , though the extra weight tends to make golden armor too cumbersome for all but the most skilled wizards themselves to wear so tends to get sold or given as a gift to those who aren ' t so much restricted by weighty armors . Gold was specifically used in the crafting of " shoonring s " that had multiple magical properties .

Bryndar The Bryndar were a group rumored to dwell within Brynwood in the Vast . Stories about them varied , but agreed that they were a clan of evil , magic - using female shapeshifters . The most common of these claimed that they were evil magical creatures who could change their shape into that of a female human . In this guise , they were said to lure male adventurer s into the depths of the Brynwood forest and there transformed into wolves , giant spider s , huge snake s , or owlbear s to then devour their victims . However , a rival tale reported the opposite , saying that they were in fact real human women who adopted animal forms to discourage anyone who ventured into the forest . A certain minstrel wrote a ballad about one of these women , whom he named " Snowhair the Sorceress " , a scornful , white - haired mage . A third story popular in tavern s in Impiltur said that the Bryndar ( so named in this story ) dwelled in an ancient castle with many spires deep in Brynwood , where they developed powerful spell s and used magical gate s or portal s to travel to far - flung cities like Airspur , Telflamm , Westgate , and Waterdeep . There they sought magic by underhanded means , using stealth or poison to drug or slay wizard s and rob them of whatever they could . With enough magical power , they would one day emerge from the Brynwood and attempt to take over and rule the world — provided their schemes were not thwarted by courageous adventurer s . Though completely unproven , this last tale was particularly vivid and persistent . By 1370 DR , the sage Elminster theorized that some unknown person or force was spreading or maintaining this tale of the Bryndar to lure adventures into the forest for some reason . Certainly , three adventuring companies of note vanished after venturing into Brynwood through the 1360s DR .

Lawful good A lawful good character upholds society and its laws , believing that these laws are created to work for the good and prosperity of all . He is both honest and benevolent . He will work within the established system to change it for the better , and strives to bring order to goodness that other good - aligned characters might pool their resources to better the world . A lawful good character combines a commitment to oppose evil with discipline . Most lawful good characters live by a strict code of honor , or by the rules of conduct set down by their deity . They will generally selflessly act by these codes even at the cost of their own life . It must however be stressed that blind obedience to local laws is not required by the lawful good alignment . A paladin is not in violation of his alignment if he decides to take up arms against a usurper on behalf of the rightful king , for example , even if that means going against the sedition laws instated by the usurper . It should be noted that a lawful good character does not actually have to obey laws , as intimated above . Lawful alignment means that the character prefers a structured life to any other ; this typically means that a set of codified laws are followed . An incorruptible enforcer , a ruler or politician who acts for the good of his people , and a heroic soldier who strictly obeys the laws of battle are all examples of lawful good characters .
Changestaff Changestaff was a transmutation or evocation and enchantment spell that made a specially prepared staff become a treant - like creature on command . Effects . This spell required a staff that was specifically prepared for use with this spell . The caster planted the staff in the ground and spoke the command invocation and the staff immediately became a creature about 24 ft ( 7 . 3 m ) tall that looked and fought like a treant but had none of the other abilities of a treant . The staff - treant was at the command of the caster and would defend him or her to the death . If the staff - treant was killed , it turned into powder and the staff was lost . Otherwise , the creature turned back into a staff when the spell expired or at the command of the caster , whichever came first . The staff - treant could be summoned , refreshed and renewed , once every 24 hours . Components . There were two different methods of preparing the staff for this spell . The older version was complex and very demanding of the druid ' s time . First , a limb from a lightning - struck tree had to be harvested within 24 hours of the strike . The tree had to be ash , oak , or yew , and the limb in good condition . The limb was then sun - cured and bathed in special smoke for 28 days . After this was done , the staff had to be pruned to shape , carved with woodland scenes , and polished ; a process that took another 28 days . Once finished , the druid rubbed the staff with holly berry juice and stuck the end into the ground of a sacred grove and cast " speak with plants " to call upon the staff for aid in time of need . This charged the staff and enabled many transformations from staff to treant and back again . The newer tradition did not require the original tree to be struck by lightning , and shortened the curing , carving and polishing process to just 28 days . In both traditions , the caster could not engage in strenuous activity or go off adventuring during any 28 - day period while preparing a staff .
