[Larpus]

Ok...did some thought and pondering on my choices and have come with some questions:

First, for the available FR-only races, do they have the favored class bonuses options of the PF version? What about alternate racial features?

For example, does a half-drow have the same favored class bonuses options as a half-elf? Or could a half-drow exchange Multitalented for Drow Magic?

In a similar fashion, what about the orcs? Do they have access to Half-Orc options?

Now for deities interests, so I'm going either for Mystra herself or an Infiltrator Inquisitor of Cyric (or Mask if you're looking for a less antagonistic character) who is posing as a follower of Mystra to steal secrets or destroy the church from inside-out.

I'm personally more into making an archer, but the definite choice will depend on domain choices.

And lastly...while I was making the character, the idea of making an Oracle of Helm popped in my mind, one that acts (and possibly even thinks of himself) as an avatar of Helm himself.

But for this concept to work, I have to know if Helm is still alive (couldn't find the post where you mentioned the time period) or if I'd be allowed to make such a character but have my deity be one of Helm's allies but maintaining the character's demented view that he is Helm personified.
