Why didn't he obliterate the big brain again?
>>750251920He was too busy sniffing cheese.
Is there a bigger Mary Sue in all of fantasy?
>>750251920because he just didn't okay!?
>>750251920Because >He is only a simulacrum: The Elminster you meet in the game is not the real wizard, but a magical construct (a simulacrum) sent to deliver a message. The real Elminster is occupied with greater, multiverse-level threats elsewhere in the Forgotten Realms.>Mystra's specific plan for Gale: As the Chosen of Mystra, Elminster acts on the direct orders of the goddess of magic. Mystra chose Gale—not Elminster—to resolve the crisis using the Netherese orb in his chest, viewing it as a path for Gale to manage his condition or atone for his past.>Divine and cosmic rules: Powerful figures in D&D lore are bound by restrictions that prevent them from acting as a deus ex machina (an unexpected power or event saving a seemingly hopeless situation). Direct intervention by high-level demigods or agents can trigger a wider cosmic or apocalyptic response.>Player agency and story structure: The game's narrative focuses on the journey and heroism of your custom or origin party. Having an overpowered legendary wizard step in to solve the entire crisis would rob the player characters of their central role.
>>750251920not his problem
>>750251920Because Mystra wants Gale to allahu akbar it, solving 2 problems at once.
>>750252197Literally what Mommy Mystra said.
>>750252159>Having an overpowered legendary wizard step in to solve the entire crisis would rob the player characters of their central role.what if I need to enter a radioactive chamber but I have several companions who are immune to radioactive energy?
Because of bad writing. They want to make D&D trannies gapeface because they recognize him from the Magic the Gathering card.>>750252239>>750252159>just sobad writing
>>750251920he is mystras goodest goy gary stu but now she wants somebody younger and better lookingin this case it is gales turn to be the gary stu that fucks a god and is tasked with defeating the world ending threat
>>750252325>>750252260Why even play DnD when Elmister can teleport to your Dungeon and one shot everything. Why play any game when you can turn on God Mode and one shot boss?
>>750252332it really makes gale feel a bit out of place compared to the other companions
>>750252371It's fine if Elminster is busy fighting eldritch entities from outside the galaxy or whatever, but then DON'T ADD HIM TO YOUR STORY.Californian faggots can't write.
>>750252412you meet a simulacrum, if you manage to kill it he turns into snow
>>750252412low IQ retard
>>750252371old phantasy art had so much SOVL
>>750252371Precisely its why NPCs like Elmister shouldn't exist to begin with. Even fucking Tolkien understood this, and its why Gandalf wasn't precisely that overpowered.
>>750252442>just soBad writing. Don't include a hologram of a godpowered entity. They don't even bother having him give a decent excuse as to why he doesn't fingersnap the final boss.>>750252474>if you don't except just so slop, you didn't understand itmidwit
>>750251920It was literally containing a mass mind flayer genesis that would've unleashed horror beyond comprehension across Faerûn
>>750252590Why didn't Bane just mindrape the Netherbrain to be it's full Control? Why didn't Bhaal just Murder Jergal, why did Myrkul to begin with even ally with the living. Why didn't Sauron just take over IlúvatarYou are just very low IQ retard.
>>750252371All D&D settings suck for explicitly this reason.
>>750252371Well yeah? thats why I don't play video games.
>>750252725>doesn't know the difference between and excuse and a reasonHoly shit, you really are an exactly 92IQ midwit, aren't you?
>>750252159why do people unironically paste chatgpt output as comments
>>750254015Because they can't think for themself. AI-posts should be a banable offense
>>750251920An elder brain empowered by netherese magic would unironically blow his head up the moment it detected him
>>750253493Midwit is 100-115 bro, do not lower the bar to exclude yourself.
