A little less rain?

[t-ice]

Fixed that for you (even if sweaty mountains paints a more interesting picture).

Serves me right for trying to use fancy words in english.

Precipitation isn't a fancy word. Petrichor is tho, and not entirely irrelevant to the topic to boot.

Anyway, you should have stuck to your native tongue. Most native english speakers don't have a second language anyway so we'd all be mightily impressed nevertheless.

Interesting aside is that BG's geography doesn't seem overtly conductive to excessive rainfall. Wettest places in the real world are overwhelmingly where prominent winds come in from a wet and warm sea, and meet a rapid elevation, where perspiration happens due to air chilling as it raises. So for example Candlekeep, where there is mountains nearby unlike BG, should probably be wetter.

While BG rain is probably more like soggy London than monsoon India, it still might be a bit excessive that the rain seems to go on/off like every 15 RL mins, or 2 IG hours.

But, eh, maybe we playing Dungeons & Dragons and not Meteorologists & Geographers

Hah! No one ever claimed Faerun had logical consistency. It is how it is... blame 'magic'

I believe that the climate in BG is supposed to more-closely resemble the damper portions of the American Pacific Northwest, being a rocky coastline next to cold seas with winds coming in from the west, which apparently produces a temperate rainforest.

I would imagine that most weather patterns would not make sense in a world of pesky spellcasters manipulating the local systems around them. Should cause unpredictable weather at any rate.

I blame global warming

I blame thread necromancy.

I find the flora of the BG server to be very unbefitting a temperate rainforest.

I find the fauna to be gloriously XP filled.
