I feel like someone was trying to do that with the 3e sorcerer and got either badly out-voted or overruled by someone higher up.

I wouldn’t have either. At least partially because I have no idea what scales have to do with books.

Pfft, you could play a dragon fairy princess in 3e. Probably at something like a +10 level adjustment.

The woman in the final panels. Aribeth de Tylmarande was a major character in the Neverwinter Nights core campaign and its second expansion. A paladin of Tyr who’s faith was tested and eventually broken after her boyfriend was executed as a scapegoat by the Neverwinter government. Could swap alignments nearly half a dozen times over the two campaigns. Pretty complicated character for a 2002 video game where the campaign was really just to show what the modding tools could do. Also had wildly impractical armor.

Gale’s mom, Tara, and Aribeth? Other than the whole death thing, this is great!

Especially if they have to compete with the goats for the food.

The Lolth thing turned out to be a misunderstanding with a Drider. The character was not high WIS or INT.

I had a character who’s backstory wasn’t too far off from that. The career changes weren’t entirely voluntary, though, and usually were because he had suddenly lost all his money and needed to go adventuring again to rebuild his wealth. By the time the campaign was set, he was close to a millennium old, borderline senile, and making some very outrageous claims about things he had supposedly done in the past, like getting into a bar fight with Selune during the Time of Troubles or having once dated Lolth.

Polar bears aren’t intelligent enough to be evil. Depending on edition, they’re either unaligned or true neutral.

Millenial here. I genuinely like the Weezer version better. I like the heavier guitar and I’m not a huge fan of the way the synth was implemented in the original.

IT’S BEEN TEN MINUTES, WHERE IS THE ART?!?!?111?!?1

I think the real problem is that they were using virgins for a fertility festival. They should get that one couple that has fifteen kids but can only keep track of two at a time.

The only way I could see purchasing a slave not being an evil act would be if they immediately freed them or funneled them to some kind of underground railroad. Wanting to actually keep them as a slave would be crossing the moral event horizon.

The Other Mother in Coraline is patterned after classic fae, especially in the book.

I want to play a barbarian-rogue combo at some point. I want to get a sneak attack while raging.

You can kill a skeleton wizard by reducing their HP to zero. A lich has a phylactery that will have them survive that with a new body.

I think part of this is a misunderstanding of what charisma actually represents. It’s literally just real-world charisma. There are only a couple instances of official materials mentioning appearance as being related to charisma in all five editions put together. Danny DeVito has 18 charisma. Sloth from The Goonies is lovable enough that he’s probably rocking a 14 or so. Ted Striker from Airplane has a 4 in CHA. Sure, he’s handsome, but he literally bores people to death. Prince Valium from Spaceballs is similarly low, being dull enough that he puts himself to sleep.

“Even better!”

Yes, but you’re still affected by antimagic and whatnot. No matter how you flavor it, you’re a true caster under RAW. This is the kind of thing that the old spell-like abilities from 3e would have been useful for.

I wish artificers were this instead of true casters.
