Talk:Bane (Forgotten Realms)

Comments
The images of Bane in 3rd edition D&D differ considerably from those where he appeared in 1st edition. Several D&D PC games of the late '80s and early '90s made from the 1st edition D&D storyline had graphics of Bane with a bluish white, wide monsterous face, a row of sharp teeth and prominent horns that looked like the horns of an Impala (or similar Bovidae-like horns). This was a consistant image of Bane until there weren't any used throughout most, if not all, of the 2nd edition. Then when he returns in the 3rd edition he just looks like a dark skinned bald humanoid. Maybe someone with access to the image could take a screenshot of the older Bane visage. 67.5.157.186 06:35, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I was under the impression that "The Dead Three" was a name retroactively given to Bane, Bhaal and Myrkul following their deaths in the Time of Troubles - not the name of their "adventuring troupe", so to speak. I know the book still appears in the Icewind Dale game under that title, but that's due to the game sharing files with Baldur's Gate rather than anything canonical. I keep coming across the phrase "the Dark Three" on message boards, though I've no idea whether or not that's canon. (195.92.168.165 12:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC))
