>FAQ:
>Q: How often should I long rest?
>A: Many companion and romance interactions occur when long resting. Some early lower priority camp scenes can also be missed if higher priority ones are queued. To advance companion quests or romances, make sure to long rest often.
>Q: Can I recruit Minthara without going down the evil path?
>A: If you knock her out in Act 1, yes. You do miss out on the sex scene, but otherwise the romance remains the same.
>Q: Underdark or Mountain Pass?
>A: Either, or both. It's recommended to clear both on higher difficulties for the experience and loot. Both connect to the same Act 2 map.
>Q: Is The Dark Urge essentially "Tav+"?
>A: Yes. You get additional content, BUT there are points where if you've chosen to resist the Urge and/or don't complete quests the "right" way, you'll have to pass additional checks to avoid losing companions.
>Q: Are there any consequences to consuming tadpoles?
>A: No, for the most part. However if you've consumed any tadpoles, there will later be a DC21 Wisdom check to reject the Astral-Touched Tadpole, which affects your appearance if consumed.
>Q: Should I enable Karmic Dice?
>A: Karmic Dice will avoid streaks of very low or very high rolls, both for you and the enemy. It is recommended to disable it if you're specializing.

Evil doesn’t actually exist in DnD. Theres an alignment system that labels something as evil, but actual metaphysical evil isn’t real and everything fully subjective in the forgotten realms. Ao supports “evil” gods being evil. Evil people don’t get judged and go to hell. There’s no objective foundation for evil being wrong. If you are a murderer and worship Bhaal you don’t go to hell you go to Bhaal and he gives you your afterlife. Hell if you’re a murderhobo worshipper of Selune fighting for the greater good you still go to Selune. Being evil in DnD isn’t wrong, you just worship different gods and have a different perspective, one which is wholly supported by the Overgod as being legitimate. Actual evil as an objective reality would be harshly punished and Ao would exterminate evil gods if there was truly such a thing.
>>

>>507739864
I see what you're saying but I've read the descriptions of all the evil alignments on various websites and is seems to just translate to "sociopathic" - I think even lawful evil will kill for pleasure.
>>
>Pippin_smoking_meme.jpg
I'm not going to read that.
>>
>>507740143
And there’s nothing wrong with that. You’re just following gods and philosophies for that. Is Ao going to judge you and send your soul to be punished for it? No. Do the “good” gods get to punish you? No. Does a universal lord of the underworld get to judge you? No. You go to your god and he gives you evil heaven.

>>
>>507740319
Indulging sociopathic impulses for pleasure is considered evil by everyone, so if evil = sociopathic then it wraps back around to being evil, generally understood. Evil people getting into the afterlife might not make sense, but this already exists in our world; the only Christians who say that evil people cannot go to Heaven are Catholics who stress good works. Other "Christians" like Calvanists just believe that as long as you accept Jesus on your deathbed, you're saved, regardless of your entire life hitherto.

>>
>>507740631
>>507740724
I don’t think you understand the philosophical concept of evil. No, they aren’t evil they’re just subjectively unpleasant to you. There’s nothing illegitimate about their perspective, as evidenced by the Ao defending the validity of someone like Bhaal. The fact that you immediately appeal to popularity is proof that it’s subjective and not truly “evil”.

I love Minthy, but I still hope there is hidden content where I can fix her. And I am not talking about freeing her of the absolute, I just want her to become a good girl. Not giving me poisons. Not thinking about the wizards as explosion device. Not considering we should push all our allies, Wyll, Shadowheart, Astarion, to go for the options that would bring us more power... but it looks like nobody can fix her. Not a male drow, not a female drow, no paladins, no clerics be it of Lolth or of Selune, not even Dark Urge (although her face when DUrge shared the visions with her was priceless, she looked genuinely that she won't have to put DUrge down). I tried everything. Killing the tieflings, ignoring the grove, knocking her up and stealing her underwear. But nothing works. My next attempt is to be a wizard. She seems to have a soft spot for them.

It was the one where you think Orin has shapeshifted and replaced Minthara, because you find Minthara having drowned your son in the camp basin. Only to find out Orin was Yenna

>>507742405
You meant this satirically but that's exactly what neutral is. It's the space occupied for those who simply aren't committed to evil or good but go back and forth.
I think brainlets like you get confused with neutral because you imagine that LN/CN are the same as true neutral, which is a unique alignment.

In a grove where shadows crept,
Kagha’s snake loomed while Arabella wept.
Its fangs prepared, its strike held fast,
Until Mizora appeared to save her at last.

“Stand down, little snake, this one’s for me,”
The cambion purred with devilish glee.
The serpent slithered, its threat undone,
But Arabella’s trial had just begun.

“You owe me now,” Mizora declared,
Her fiery gaze left the tiefling ensnared.
“I’ll teach you well, you’ll scream my name,
And soon, my dear, you’ll love this game.”

Arabella quivered, her nerves ran high,
But Mizora grinned and let fingers ply.
She stroked, she teased, till the tiefling broke,
Her cries spilled out with each deft stroke.

Her body trembled, her senses soared,
As Mizora whispered, “You’ll beg for more.
Your first, my pet, but far from the peak,
Tonight I’ll show you what I seek.”

Mizora smirked and claimed her throne,
Her pet’s face slick, her scent now known.
“Kiss it, girl, and don’t delay,
You'll soon crave what I give today.”

Arabella learned, her fears erased,
Her lips found home in Mizora’s taste.
The night wore on, their passion bold,
A devil’s heat, a tiefling sold.

The bards now sing with bawdy cheer,
Of a grove, a pact, and a devil’s leer.
Arabella’s cries, her master’s call,
A tiefling lost in Mizora’s thrall.

Evil is very real in D&D, there are inherently evil and BAD monsters in the universe, and there are existing nine planes of reality that all coincide with the alignments of reality that each being goes to once they die and depending on what your morality/alignments lie, you will head to that plane and be one with it.

I'm sorry, but you will never redeem the bla-Orc baby. They are by their very nature who they are and a manifestation of Gruumsh and his image. Eilistraee Drow are who they are because a goddess had a direct divine intervention of some of Lolth's subjects releasing them from her grasp, and some that were ""good"" struggled from deflecting back to the tendencies of their nature. Drizzt was a Gary Stu and as the lore suggests, a "truly exceptional".

None, it's purely for RP flavor. Half and half characters just don't work in a party based RPG where you've got multiple classes available. Why be a half wizard when Gale is right there, why be a half martial when Lae'zel is right there, you just end up weak and bad at everything. Those sorts of classes make sense in a one or two man campaign.

Bhaalist armor is one of the best armors in the game, arguably the best since most armors don't double your damage. booal's blessing is pretty nice icing. The infernal robe is a pretty reasonable robe, and so is Isobel's. Ulder's armor is good. People seem to forget that the hag hair is the bad route as well, and every powergamer takes that. So I think the bad route gets more toys than most people make it sound. The good route gets more but the bad route isn't hurting for stuff like lots of people say.

You don't think rolling the dice for an innocent's life might be, I don't know, EVIL? Are you willing to do the same for your mother, with one million dollars at stake? Mintharafag is right.

It gets worse if you try to justify it in-character, because now your character is trusting a hag to keep her word, and believes eating her disgusting scalp will make them stronger. And you're still rolling the dice (metaphorically) for an innocent's life, so you're obviously still evil - to the point even Lae'zel will call you out.

The one thing that hurts the most is the Potent Robe. For a Warlock or Warlock multiclass, no other chest piece comes even halfway close to it.
Heavy armor users have some alternatives to the Armor of Persistence, both Helldusk and Bhaalist are great, but there's nothing comparable to Potent Robe.
Yet, the class that is most often associated with Evil and is a popular pick for evil runs, gets cucked out of it. Doubly so because, expecially if you're Durge and maybe don't want to side with the goblins (honestly not even an evil character would side with the goblins, the first thing they do is make you eat shit, kiss feet, brand you like cattle and drug you to torture you, any self respecting evil character would exterminate them and keep the children for last so they can watch), you still end up killing Alfira, the one that gives you your BIS armor, unless you metagame around it.
It's the Potent Robe that breaks the deal for me.

How did Wyll and Karlach get tadpole'd? I get tav/durge, froggy, we literally see that. Shadowheart was part of the plan. Gale, Asterion... no idea why those two were abducted, but can accept that they were at wrong time in the wrong place. Minthara looks like the kind of person that would happily put the tadpole into her eye for the promise of more power. But Wyll and Karlach boarded the nautiloid in Avernus. There wasn't enough time for them to get implanted by parasites and they aren't stupid enough to infect themselves on purpose.

There are many roleplay reasons.

You pitied the captured goblin, went to Minthara with her and then sort of made bad choices, because you cannot say no to people.
You were paladin, believing anybody could be redeeemed, so you wanted to capture her alive. If you weren't a paladin, the alive capture is for the purpose of questioning and torture.
You were a dick, looking forward to her reporting failure in her mission. Knocking her out and stealing her clothes. Ok, this one wouldn't be good, more like chaotic neutral.
You didn't want to get involved in any of this grove goblin mess, you have parasites you need to get rid off, so you ignored the plotline completely, then just tried to rescue the maiden in distress.
You sensed she has a parasite in her head, and wondered if she needs help, just like the rest of your party. You thought she is not evil, just under bad influence. Turned out being evil and being brainwashed aren't mutual exclusive, but you pragmatically decided to have enemy of your enemy join you in uneasy alliance.

>>507804656
Astarion occasionally gets staked for that by paladin players.
>>
>>507809687
All of this is literally just metagaming cope, except for the first option which is simply being evil in the first place.

>>507809687
>you pragmatically decided to have enemy of your enemy join you in uneasy alliance.
Pretty much. You are allies of circumstance. Survival comes before petty moral disagreements.
>>
>>507810513
Well, metagaming is also not killing Karlach, I mean, paladins of Tyr tell you so, the blade of frontier tells you about advocatus diabolus... and you'd rather listen to the voice in your head than to the obviously good, well-intentioned characters? If I didn't know she is one of the origins, she would go down (I just couldn't bring myself to it after hearing how she just wanted to find friends, reloaded and have never killed her ever since).

Oh, on the other hand you shouldn't listen to the voice in your head when recruiting Gale, both with 'oh those sigils are dangerous, don't touch' and 'this hand looks yummy, what would happen if you cut it?' I wonder how many people missed Gale on their first playthrough and had to google where and how to recruit him (I did).

And knowing Astarion is a vampire is metagaming too, because he spoils that in his origin intro. Honestly, game would have been better if the origins unlocked only after you complete the characters' quest, so you have to figure out their motivation yourself as custom character.

>How did Wyll and Karlach get tadpole'd?
It's never explained beyond
>Karlach saw the Nautiloid in Hell while being chased by Wyll
>she (somehow) jumped atop the Nautiloid (because it was seemingly her first opportunity to leave Hell)
>got captured (because duh)
>Wyll also jumped atop the Nautiloid
>was captured as well
another issue is that the Nautiloid, by the time it was in Hell, was already in deep shit due to the Gith attack and also under fire by Imps and Cambions.
How tadpoling some random people was still a priority is beyond me, nevermind that Karlach and Wyll were quite powerful before being tadpoled, so they must've put up a fight.

Both Astarion and Gale are also odd cases.
Astarion was most likely on the prowl in Baldur's gate, so that Nautiloid must've shown up during the Night and presumably captured a bunch of more people from Baldur's gate.
Gale was sad, sitting in tower crying about the "break up" with Mystra, how he was abducted is questionable at best.
Honestly, beyond Lae'zel (which unfortunately makes her incompetent for being abducted) and Shadowheart, none of the companion don't feel contrived as far as their abduction is concerned.
Having Minsc in there would ironically have made a ton of sense in hindsight.

If I recall correctly, Karlach says something about "jumping aboard the Nautiloid to escape Hell" or something along those lines, with Wyll jumping aboard to chase her.

How they both got captured, and ended up in different parts of the map, with little history of their recent encounters to tell despite presumably crashing together with Tav, remains to be seen.
>>
>>507825519
Gale was probably abducted during the scene where Nautiloid is flying over Yartar, before the dragons attack.

If you put Waterdeep and Yartar into straight line, you can figure out he was heading to the least inhabited area in Faerun. What he wanted to do there is kind of... sad, considering his condition. Abduction might have been the best thing that happened to him in a while.

And considering Wyll and Karlach... their level is disappointing too. Astarion might have been lowly spawn, can accept that. Gale was effectively deleveled by his godess, Shadowheart and DUrge got brainwashed, Lae'zel is incompetent newb, talking about ambitions and future, instead of past achieveent, so she fits the beginner adventurer. But Wyll is supposed to be already accomplished monster hunter and Karlach fought in Blood War, their level makes no sense.

Larian forgot that an adventurer just starting out at the bottom shouldn't have some grand background as it creates a disconnect between the narrative and the gameplay. I know that "he was a farmer that got tired of slaving the day away and went adventuring" is not interesting as a background in a videogame, but there's middle grounds.

I know you're probably not doing this on purpose, so I remind you that the game justifies this by citing the tadpoles and their influence as the "level loss".
Does that make sense? Honestly, no: wasn't tadpoling the most capable and skilled people a strategy to quickly expand the Cult of the Absolute, if everyone starts at level 1 it doesn't make much sense.

I know it's more about control, but then even Minthara, Nere, Z'Rell and the other top brass of the Cult were pretty much useless when recruited: I can imagine Ketheric's disappointment.
"Suspension of Disbelief" is unfortunately the only answer to give ourselves in some specific cases.

It's hard to have a serious conversation with you. It's even harder if you omit information, misquote, or just lie every time.

I said that Cazador never sexually abused Astarion: no "penor-into-anungus" type of sexual abuse. In fact, all those Harry and Draco-style fujoshi doujinshi featuring Cazador and Astarion that I've heard of are...completely cringe.

I'm not even sure Cazador has that kind of drive anymore, honestly, which is why he probably wants to become an Ascended Astario-, I mean an Ascended Vampire: to see the true colors of the world again, and have a libido.

>>507828273
The game constantly tells you to go all in on your Illithid powers because they'll make you stronger, it makes no sense to use them as an explanation for being weaker.

I guess that the most egregious example of ludo-narrative disconnect, Gale, can be partially be explained by the Netherese Orb feeding off his Weave, but isn't Wizardry literally "magic made science"? Having a parasyte eating your magic would explain a Sorcerer being weakened by it, as the magic is part of them, but isn't a Wizard just a guy that studied the Weave and found ways to bend it to their will? Unless he gets a concussion and straight up forgets stuff his powers shouldn't wane neither by tadpoles nor Orbs, no?

The game explains that everyone experienced a reset of their powers when they were infected. Wyll and Gale especially are the oens who comment on it.
Lazy was still a fairly recent graduate from boot camp, and is referred to as child by a few other gith.

As for Jaheira and Halsin, it's just a gameplay conceit that they're back to being weak. Jaheira was lawn mowing entire mobs with 20 class levels back in bg2.

I am the general's most influential shitposter, and I don't post Halsin and never have. I also vowed to spare this general from my torments for a period of no less than one week in honor of the birth of Christ, something you call center pajeets wouldn't know about, and I have maintained my vow. I watch this thread to see any new shill developments, but any shitposting occurring is purely the fault of the subtard animals that still linger here for reasons other than being paid by Liarian or shill containment. Not everything is me; only the important, thread-culture defining things. This one is on you people.

Yes, I understand the idea that:
>a parasite enters your brain through your eye, so at first you are mentally and physically shocked by it but then eventually you not only fully recover all your powers, but you also have improved and new ones
And then also stop the leveling up at level 12 when in the previous games there was no such hard cap.

I don't know if on some sort of shonen power level it's because canonically the protagonists of BG1&2 are and MUST be stronger than those of BG3, but the threat of an Elder Brain is no small thing so, yeah, the more you think about it the less sense it makes.
Ansur, a dragon dead for centuries, is Level 17 IIRC; Rapahel, a powerful cambion son of Mephistopheles, is at level uhh 16? After centuries of life?

Hmm, does not really make sense but most importantly, it doesn't fullfill my power fantasy well, fantasy. That's why I mod the game so the level cap is 20 again.

I'm thinking about replaying as Dark Urge. I have only used the game's companions and only really done pure classes in my first playthrough, so I want to mix it up more this time, and use custom companions.
5e seems pretty simple though. Are there any fun/worthwhile multiclassing options?

Losing an extra attack and a whole feat from level 11 and 12 fighter for a measily war cleric feature (extra attack but very limited) and a single guided strike per short rest? You've got to have something better than that.

Warlock is generally regarded as a quick way to power with a cost.
If being a Warlock isn't the main source of your power, then why make a pact that still might have a serious price.
>>
>>507833314
fair enough, it's the one class that has you sell your soul
even worse if it's a paladin multiclassing into a warlock (even though both work off of CHA)

Fighter 11/ War Cleric 1
Extra attack bonus action > feat number 4
>>
>>507833314
>>507833965
>>507834016
The character may have ended up in a desperate life or death situation and the only being that showed up and offered their help was a Fae/Fiend/Ayy/Talking sword (coming soon), but only if you sign a contract, of course. You don't necessarily need to be the one looking for them, sometimes patrons search for vulnerable targets themselves.
>>
>>507834208
>Extra attack bonus action > feat number 4
It's an extra attack bonus action when using a charge, so just 3 such actions per long rest. And remember that with great weapon master you can get extra attacks as bonus action anyway if you manage to score a crit or kill an enemy that turn.
I think the extra feat is the better choice, but I suppose you do also get some basic spells, and if you weren't using spells from items on your fighter already, then you can use those instead.
>>
>>507833965
Because it offers abilities that you can’t get anywhere else which can seriously enhance your other powers
>>
>>507834872
>so just 3 such actions per long rest
More than sufficient given that the game functionally has unlimited long rests, so any "per long rest" skill or item is essentially "per fight" in practice.
>>
>>507834872
You should be long resting often
>>
>>507835107
>>507835171
>More than sufficient given that the game functionally has unlimited long rests, so any "per long rest" skill or item is essentially "per fight" in practice.
That's true technically, but I'm autistic about it and only take rests when I'm actually out of most of my resources. I don't know, it just feels weird to be long resting too often.
>>
>>507834872
Yeah, honestly a Fighter makes for a decent pre-casting Bless bot since they have high Con, Con saves and nothing to do with their concentration. You also get an extra character able to save companions in clutch with Healing Word and Sanctuary. A single level is fine if you don't need any Feat. 2 levels Is obviously utterly retarded as you miss the improved extra attack.
>>
ok, ok, hear me out
sorc with 1 lvl barbarian for the extra +3 AC from your CON modifier
>>
>>507834208
War cleric charges are the most overrated thing in this game. Even if long resting is basically free I would rather have an extra feat, there are lots of good ones that people never take because they don't have enough chances and fighters can take advantage with 4.
>>
>>507835868
>there are lots of good ones that people never take because they don't have enough chances
like what? haven't tried the sentinel + polearm master combo, but seeing as it uses reaction, so it's only 1 extra attack in specific conditions, idk if it's worth it
>>
>>507835770
Does not stack with Mage Armor. I guess it's justifiable with the Amulet of Greater Health, but it's not like +3 AC is a game changer at that point.

>>507835261
I don't long rest in cases where I can't make it make sense, once I land in Grymforge we're there until I kill Nere, once I free Aylin we're there until I kill Myrkul, once I arrive in the temple of Bhaal we're there until I kill Orin. But most fights I can head canon as the distances being longer, camping is worthwhile.

Tav has a rumbly tummy from all that "goodberry pie" but just can't stop.
As soon as Daddy Halsin pumps a new batch into Shadowheart, Tav is in place ready to slurp it up like a greedy little beast. It goes on like this for all the night and into the morning.
Finally Tav retches, it's just been too much druidic seed... yet still, the feeding frenzy continues.
>hrmrmmmnfhrhgrlrlgm mmm yum good yes yes good berry mmmgrllrlkfrjm
Halsin and Shadowheart look both disgusted and highly amused. "Nature's bounty" he says to her and she laughs, shaking her head and looking away.
Slowly over time, Tav becomes conditioned and addicted to slurping up the Goodberry Pie, which is good because Halsin and Shadowheart keep making more of it, and Tav's new role in their relationship pleases the two of them.

Thank, but that leaves residue. Granted, none of the jailers have a reason to come up to the warden's office. Only when they, somehow, happen to see the scrying eye fall into the chasm and then run up to do nothing.
>>
Never forget Gortash rape

>>507839491
Again, unless you long rest constantly they 100% are. War charges can functionally be translated as a feat that says "make 3 extra attacks per long rest"
They're overrated dogshit

If I were to go all in on an element, like X type dragonborn, sorc with X draconic ancestry, and X elemental adept, what do you think would be a good pick? Fire? Lightning? I guess what matters the most is the amount and quality of the spells of each type.
>>
>>507831725
That's a landsknecht
>>
>>507840971
All in like "pure damage, fuck CC" type build?
Probably Lightning. You get plenty of variation for spell damage types and can set yourself up for LOADSADAMAGE with Wet. Storm Sorc or Lightning Draconic Ancestry both work
All in like "Fine with CC but basically only do damage using element X"?
Fire Sorc 100%, it's one of the most broken builds in the game. Uses the hat of fire acuity + Scorching Ray spam to get unresistable CC spells while shitting out damage
>Fun build
Frost Sorc. Get Mourning Frost, Snowburst Ring, Winter's Clutches, Potent Robes, and that one Necklace that lets you add Cha to cantrips. Without even getting into your actual spells, your Ray of Frost now does 3d8 + 2x Cha (which may randomly double because you apply debuffs to the enemy) and creates massive pools of ice that the enemies will all trip over. And very little resists Frost

I’ll accept the level down, but why the hell are Wyll and Karlach not affected by the Absolute’s mind control?
It’s stated multiple times that the party would be thralls if not for the Emperor, so did he just preemptively extend his protection over everyone who escaped the Nautiloid?
