PC is going to be a Duergar too because they've always seemed cool. Storm sorcerer is appealing if it works well. Take it with a grain of salt but Aerothurge build in dos2 was probably one of the most fun builds ever.

So I am thinking I want to do this for the party: Wild Magic Barbarian (my PC) Respec companions to the following. For maximum shenanigans. Wild Magic Sorcerer Lore/Valor Bard (it seems Sword Bard uses Bardic inspirations on their own attacks and cannot use them on others if I understand it...

You gotta enjoy it for what it is. They are traditional tabletop campaigns turned into a video game. The fun is class building, finding items, playing through a compelling story and exploring the world. Planescape shines because its probably the best overall story in a game to date. Certain...

BG2 is probably the only game I have ever played that does timestop well. High level wizard spell but when used against you in the game it has juuuuust the right feel to it. Screen goes gray and all you hear is his spell chanting and you just know you're fucked.

Kensai Wizard dual class in BG2 where you could time stop into a critting everything in the room to the point of almost instant gibbing them was really an amazing CRPG experience.

You go big dick wild magic and take the punches. Wild mage berserker sounds like a ton of fun and I am seriously considering it. Save scumming every single "negative" interaction you have in the game just totally kills the vibe for me. Can't do it. But autists save scum on every single locked...

Kensai is one of those strange classes. In all my time playing tabletop they are almost always pursued by the most faggoty powergaming losers. But the build is so easily identifiable they will usually get killed off by the DM long before they hit their power spike. But they really shine in CRPG...

I don't think the Kensai Sword Saint class is a thing in BG3 Tucbro.

It isn't an issue but I could totally just setup a VM for everything on one of our AWS accounts and IT would never have any idea. Not worth the effort though.

I always have a problem making my PC be a support character. I want my dude to be kicking ass and taking names. Not buffing NPCs.

Also I didn't know this was a thing. I had to get a new work PC after mine started shitting the bed. Battery was giving out mostly. But I had other problems with it. I had abused it so much that I couldn't even run packages well so I just VENV everything for scripting. I was able to do Java...

That is a very pretty map.

My office is straight up closing 4 of our offices and going all-in on just having one in the Bay Area where the C-Suite live. As they determined that the only thing they absolutely needed was a venue for a few big events a year, some team get togethers, and a permanent site for managing company...

What is the point of Karmic dice exactly?

Got a link to that?

Yesterday in this adventure: Context: My code output produces their secret squirrel invoicing bullshit and I have X line items per thing generated. The internal finance dudes make dozens of changes independently and outside of any system. So it only exists on hand modified PDF shit and...

Drow Handcrossbow Sword Bard hmmmmmmm!?

I think that if such a place existed it would be reasonable that they simply built ontop of it rather than built the entire thing themselves. But really. By all accounts Plato was carrying over a story he heard elsewhere. That if we follow the forensic evidence of the African Humid Period. Had...

I mean really. Just play what you want. It should all be viable short of Unfair/Tactician where you have to make certain decisions to not gimp yourself.

If you don't understand how the existence of such a tool would dramatically warp player behavior I don't know what to tell you. You removed the aspect of the game that was about wandering around and finding other like minded players to play with you to overcome obstacles. As you systematized...

Most likely going Sword Bard then. Storm Sorcerer looks cool though as well. Will be reclassing my companions.

BG had Barbarians though.

So I guess the question then is if the story is driven by the Player Character. Rather than the Origin Characters. Like in DOS2 if you did a custom character the various storylines just ignored you because you weren't an origin character. Will that be the case here?

Thank god. They went the DOS2 route them them. BG2 Minsc was technically a Ranger but he had all the fighter stats and feats... I never understood it. He also had a ton of STR.

If doing this, is the bard flavor better than Arcane Trickster? I'm torn between: Wild Magic lol barbarian Sword Bard Arcane Trickster Fungus Druid

Why do you pick Cleric on first usually? I just can't help but going melee in the first run of these games.

Actually been a really cool experience. Dave the Diver got me on that fishing game kick.

Plenty of faggots played EverQuest unless you forgot about that aspect of the game.

Durr maps from 2500 years ago aren't as accurate as modern maps. Is this the connection you're making?

I mean this is silly. What you are getting at is that race in high fantasy should be irrelevant. Nobody forces you to be a min maxing powergamer but you act like that's the default way to play.

It's just another stepping stone along the way of races being nothing more than a cosmetic decision that don't effect anything the game has to offer in any way. Which detracts from a high fantasy DND adventure that is based on the tabletop experience.

I'm saying that the name persisted through the ages for some reason. I have no idea what Richat is but since its still visible and not just a non-starter under a mountain of sand its one of the most obvious things to look at. My position is that I have absolutely zero doubts there was some...

Because the very idea that names of things get distorted over millennia and multiple civilizations is just ridiculous yeah?

Bro, how much tabletop have you played? Or any RPGs in the DND setting in general? Having every character being able to do everything defeats the purpose of a ROLE PLAYING GAME. Yes my halfling ranger can drive the story because he is able to join the Lone Rangers of Hobbitville... because...

Well I don't actually watch any of his shit. But I can respect that he stays true to our collective genre.

I think it's cool he sticks to RPG and was a huge EQ nerd. But he is a cuck fag otherwise. He caved to some leftists and wont even say "dude" on stream anymore because its somehow offensive.

So why is everyone a druid now?

Dude. Whoosh. God damn.

I'll maintain my open minded skepticism on the matter. Logically, an advanced civilization trading with whoever at the time had to be near some body of water. The Saharan humid period left the area kind of like the US fertile plains with rivers as far as I've read. Lake GigaChad might be a...
