I’m playing a warforged order of scribes wizard. But the Warforged body is just a vessel for the actual character: A sentient spellbook.
Mechanically, this worked out incredibly well. I took the telepathic feat as well, and depending on the context I switch between a robotic outside voice to a demonic inside voice.
I’m playing the DM. My first in person table top game since 3rd edition. It’s going really well. Three sets of parents with kids. We hire a babysitter to watch them all when we meet.
Thank you for your service
It’s cool. I actually prefer it to being a player.
Same. It’s a real joy if you have a good table. It’s more work though, which makes DMing a bad table that much more painful.
5e. Playing a halfling ranger (beastmaster) with a wolf mount. It’s pretty cool.
Nice! I have a session 0 later today. I’m thinking about playing a halfling eagle totem barbarian
I haven’t actually played this character yet because the group I made it for failed to launch (and I’m currently between tables), but I really want to play this character. He’s a Dwarven Wizard, scion to a massively wealthy trade baron. He got a job as a diviner for the family business and worked there most of his life, but at some point he realized that long-term divination is mostly bullshit, the bit that isn’t is just statistics, and his job is just a sinecure to keep him comfortable since he will likely never run the company (too many older brothers). He studied magic on his own time because he thought it would help him with his job so he has some skill as a wizard. Sometimes he will go to rougher pubs and listen to adventurers talking about their adventures and imagine what it would be like to leave it all behind. Then, after a messy, public divorce, something snaps and he walks out of his job, goes to the outfitter and buys a bunch of fancy equipment, and signs up with the first adventuring crew he can find under an assumed name.
I’m playing as an escargot bard who fakes his way into success and peoples pants.
What’s an escargot bard? A perfunctory search revealed nothing
It’s a bard who is a snail person
First time playing BG3, but I’ve played a good bit of 5e and a little 3.5e. I’m trying a monk for the first time. Way of the Open Hand. I named him Rick O’Shea. He goes up front and bounces between enemies, fucking 'em up. I can’t remember every choice I made, but I know for sure he took the Athlete feat, but that makes less sense outside of BG3. I can’t remember his level, but I’ll probably pick Mobile for another feat.
My favorite 5e character I ever played was a high wisdom, low intelligence human cleric. He would occasionally do a stupid thing that came back to bite him, but he would learn from that mistake and not do it again. He would also relay metaphorical farm wisdom to the party, always formatted as “Pappy always said…”
E.g. “Pappy always said never milk a cow if you ain’t brought your bucket.” Meaning don’t start shit before you’ve figured out subsequent steps. Don’t try to pick a tough fight and then realize you’re out of spell slots lol.
He was a cleric of Helm but somewhere along the way he was convinced to serve another god instead who had pretty much identical goals in mind (idr the details) and I think his name was Pyxis or Pryxis or something. Idk, the cleric could never get it right so he would call him Pixar and he was like sure, fine, close enough. Anyway, so for flavor, Spirit Guardians was always Toy Story characters flying around.
