Harpers & Zhentarim Races

Post by Skarain » Sun Sep 06, 2020 7:06 am

Harpers and Zhentarim are secret societies and that is fine.

However, I am curious if they are selective in the races they recruit, or if any race member could (technically) become a member, if sufficient RP is put behind it?

Especially the Zhentarim, who are by their nature leaning towards evil.

I like to play Monstrous races, so I'd like to know what are my chances getting in before devoting time and effort building a character.

Or are these Surface-exclusive?

On a somewhat similar note: does Zhentarim require explicit worship to Bane and Cyric?

I'm not actually sure about the Zhentirium, I'd need to check the lore and we'd need to discuss it (They're a very new class, we're still working out the boundries/how it works ect).
But Harpers do sometimes take on monsterous races yes, though they'd need to have the Good Aligned award. Also their application would need to be very good. You can do it, but it's a harder sell than say, for a elf or dward.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
