God this image looks so fricking comfy. I'm working close to full time now and i'm really starting to miss the few months of covid where I was able to live like a NEET everyday.

Yeah but doing something more mentally constructive makes you more balanced so you don't have to make rage threads every day.
Larian aren't exactly known for their writing ability
>character that could fix everything does nothing
Tolkien isn't exactly known for his writing ability
God doesn't want to intervene, it ruins the entire point of creating the world.
no it doesn't. god intervenes all the time in Tolkien's work.
why are normies so moronic?
He only intervened directly to destroy Numenor
No He doesn't moron, he intervenes like twice in all of history
>Sinks Numenor because they're being Grade A dicks who will ruin everything
>May or may not have shoved gollum into the Volcano
That's it, Eru didn't intervene at all outside those two events. Everything else is the Valar.
No he fricking doesn't. He Atlantises one bunch of c**ts once and then nudges a halfling off a cliff. That is the extent of all his intervention
>be Eru Ilúvatar
>some random homosexual Maiar shitting things up
>send other random homosexual Maiar to stop things getting shitted up
It kind of makes sense in Tolkien's universe.
not really that was dumb. that random homosexual maiar was the strongest, the dumb eru should have had sent likes 10 other maiar
well he sent 5. Sauron must be a pretty rad dude to win a 5v1.
its the fantasy setting with magic, the number 1 strongest is always will be like god-like compare to other even number 2.
Satan was one of the archangel yet the arch angels ganged up on him and still cant do shit
Satan got his ass handed to him by Michael
The frick? Satan got rekt by Michael solo, the other archangels didn't even need to do anything. It's too bad the Catholics edited out some of the cooler parts of the Bible like Michael killing 10,000 fallen angels and their leader all by himself. Michael is also the guy that's supposed to grab Satan during the End Times and toss him into the bottomless pit.
anon, that's a Forgotten realms thing. Not Larian.
Elminster has been a part of the setting since the beginning.
Elminster has been pulling that since BG1, he's literally one of the first people you talk to and he could probably tbag all of Sarevok's gang without taking 1 hp's worth of damage. Instead he shitposts like lol sorry your dad died hope you're doing ok bro goodbye
At least 3 gave the excuse of a literal god telling him to put a sock on it because she's craving wiener again
>Greenwood self insert gary stu
>good writing
Yep, that's Elminster alright. He was the same in the original BG games when he showed up.
moron.
this isnt really Larian though
D&D is just a terrible setting for leveling powers
I mean Mordenkainen canonically lost 1v1 to Strahd which is just moronic but you know, muh plot and muh easter eggs
maybe he knows something you don't that prevents him from doing what seems obvious to you.
Elminster has piss fetish, doesn't he?
Dude's known for chilling sometimes. Probably doing stuff in the background.
Honestly we're lucky he's not going around causing problems on purpose.
Why doesn't she just solo the game?
She's literally a level 30/30 Fighter/Druid at this point.
>She's literally a level 30/30 Fighter/Druid at this point.
Ed makes the rules, and there's no way she's this strong. The only characters in canon that aren't gods which are that strong in terms of class levels are Larloch, and the Seldarine who is the strongest at 60-some.
>Seldarine
Srinshee*
Getting my names mixed up
To be fair, she could easily be 24 Fighter/21 Druid at that point considering she went through all of BG1 to Throne of fricking Bhaal and has fought about every worthy creature in the Realms by now, including multiple dragons, drow, beholders, mind flayers, demons, devils, even literal Demogorgon.
That's more reasonable. I didn't play the earlier games. I just know what I know from reading epic handbooks and what authors say on Candlekeep. Ed said she's stronger than Larloch which would put her on the 60 range. There are characters in the 40 range in the epic handbooks. 3.5 is what I'm referencing.
Ed put the Srinshee at level 54.
Peer Netherese geniuses/legends like Ioulaum or Karsus or Avrauntra (greater than even Karsus according to Ed) may have equaled or surpassed Larloch when they were alive and at their height.
Grand spellcasters from other universes like Vecna (he almost usurped the Lady of Pain if you take that one joke supplement as legit) also rival him.
>even literal Demogorgon.
I thought ToB was deemed non canon
Still, she should be able slap her dick in the face of most of the dangers solo and she's fricking what, lv 8?
>She's literally a level 30/30 Fighter/Druid at this point
She's like level 6/7 at best because I always drop her for Viconia the moment I leave Chateau Irenicus (my playthrough is canon).
Power of everyone was severely reduced after the Second Sundering because no one knew how to behave.
Jaheria also has the added benefit of being a very active member of a stupidly effective group of people that keep getting whitewashed every edition, solving even more problems. She is constantly earning exp and has been for much longer than a century
The second sundering is bullshit and the proof that Greenwood is a hack. Spellplague was cool but the shitty 4e changes were so bad that they should had just been simply retconned without any explanation.
she's also fricking old, that has got to be a debuff
She's a druid, anon. Check your PHB.
>Timeless body was originally supposed to be a reference to old wuxia/xianxia material for Monks
>5e Druids get a version that's actually somewhat functional, as opposed to Monks who still die when they reach their race's age limit
Honestly, what the frick is 5e's problem?
wizards of the coast not martials who can boast ok. praise mystra
She died like a b***h in my playthrough.
>going back to lost light after destroying the nightsong
Jaheira's gotten old.
Wait until you hear what they did to the PC. He got killed by fricking Viekang. Remember him?
To be fair Viekang has a bullshit get out of jail card in lore so if you don't nuke him he'll be back later on
He only has a get of jail free card. He was never established to be powerful enough to even warrant a nuke.
He's still a Bhaalspawn
Bhaal had hundreds of children and a lot of them were peasants who died in an alley. Being Bhaalspawn doesn't make you strong by itself.
Because she's somehow alive, despite me killing her at the start of BG1. moronic woman even came back in BG2, forcing me to kill her again. Had to kill her the third time in BG3. Truly a trilogy of games.
>30/30s
>existing in 5e

Teiresias
>reminder that this guy turned himself into a sexy woman and got railed by dogs
HOT
I guess you could say he possessed the knowledge
wtf I thought it's larian who turned muh based D&D woke
Hold up a minute. How did he do that? Did he really cast a true polymorph and concentrated for a whole hour so he could maintain that form?
I don't know about that but I believe in 5e there's a permanent true polymorph spell right in the players handbook
ed greenwood (FR creator) is a homosexual. several of the setting expansions books extoll drug fueled orgies, and funny enough, no male homosexuality, but weird magical transgender pregnancy shit. thats what the "festhalls" are in bg1 and planescape torment
ed greenwood is a homosexual
Concentration is 5e bullshit. You could (and should be able to) stack an unlimited number of spells at any given time with permanency.
Nice
>turn into a woman
>instantly get fricked by dogs
It's a law of nature at this point.
thats like, astronomically normal for this kind of setting
idk what 'current' dnd 'lore' is but at one point canonically there used to be an entire illuminati type cabal of liches who ran the world in secret and their leader was the most powerful lich in existence who was not particularly evil and was simply very bored, and would hire groups of adventurers to go through his lair and hunt him down via proxy just to pay them and tell them to gtfo, cause it was entertaining to watch
powerful homieas usually just like to frick around in dnd, it is what it is
>>has the power to literally destroy every single enemy in every - published - campaign including the final boss with a flick of his finger

Nothing new here to d&d.
Yeah but at least he isn't petty enough to just use a Wish Spell to kill someone
>they ruined Elminster
FRICK YOU LARIAN YOU FRICKING c**tS I HATE YOU
>Ruined Eliminster
I'd be impressed if they somehow made him a worse character.
how did they ruin him
touching him with their grubby homosexual hands
so no answer? got it
have you ever played a Larian game? They are incapable of writing a decent character.
Now piss off, homosexual
I accept your concession
>writing a decent character
>fricking Greenwood's OC donut steel discount Gandalf
Elminster is a garbage self insert homosexual character, always has been always will be
if it wasn't for larian elmister would still be a Black person
>ruined
bruh frick off
Word of advice, you nogames homosexual; if you don’t get replies from the circle jerking ball washers that you’re clearly looking for, don’t double down.
Especially when trying to feign outrage about one of the biggest mary sues ever written makes it clear you know jack shit about what you’re pear clutching about
dndlet here, what makes Elminster a mary sue? I kinda liked his appearance in BG3 as a seemingly archetypical
wizard.
He's literally the creator of the setting's self-insert. Granted, powerful mages are cool but it doesn't mean they can't be a Gary Stu. His cameos in the game are fine since he doesn't do much, and it became a tradition to try and kill him along with Drizzt.
He’s a classic Mary Sue, in the original sense of a writer self insert who is stupidly hyper competent and can do no wrong barring author contrivance. Him being a conduit for Greenwood’s fetishes is another example, for example him getting turned into a woman and immediately fricking everything that moves.
OP actually hit on a problem that has been in dnd circles since Elminster’s conception; there’s a point where any campaign with high enough stakes needs to answer the question “why the frick doesn’t he just teleport in and curb stomp everything?”
BG3 saying that Mystra’s got her tendies in a twist and wants Gale to sudoku is as good an answer as any.
>why the frick doesn’t he just teleport in and curb stomp everything
My favorite answer is that he needs to be a paranoid fricker these days, any elaborate 10 step plot to take over the Realms that seems tempting to meddle with might actually be an 11 step plot to draw out and frick over Elminster specifically. (Either by killing him, or more realistically distracting him from something much more important, like an arson to cover for a bank robbery)
I want to play an RPG where I have a classic wizard that looks like that screenshot instead of troon companions
>he said calmly
So exactly the same as he does in Baldur's gate 1 and 2
who's this homie? Merlin? lol
he did the same thing in the original
How do I make a tanky cleric?
War + Heavy Armor + Shield + Shield of Faith spell + Aid spell + boots/gloves that give temp. HP and restore HP to you when healing
I'm a professional Wizard.
Give me a reason I should do that and I'll tell you my thoughts.
Why do incels get mad at this but suck off Tolkien with bombadil
Because there's nothing in the text saying that Bombadil could solve the whole conflict by himself. That's just headcanon. He was just seemingly unaffected by the ring for the brief time he had it.
The Fellowship of the Ring book gives a clear and logical reason why Tom Bombadil shouldn't be given the ring
The Discord of Melkor spewed out sentient fragments all over. Many of them ended up nameless horrors in the deep. Bombadil was probably one of the positive fragments - oldest and fatherless. Headcanon sure but consistent with the Silmarillion and the text.
no it didn't.
Gandalf explicitly says that Bombadil wouldn’t leave his home and even if he did, he would forget about the ring and lose it.
Meant for
Isn't Elminster a Harper?
>Isn't Elminster a Harper?
He was 100 years ago. I'm unsure if he is still in current timeline.
Should be noted that Elminster slept with the first Mystra (the goddess that was formed after the first goddess of magic Mystryl sacrificed herself during the Fall of Netheril). Gale slept with the 2nd Mystra (ascended after the Time of Troubles after the first Mystra died).
So Gale and Elminster can be high fiving each other as two of the few dudes who banged a Mystra
ELMINSTER DOES AS HE PLEASES

>>has the power to literally destroy every single enemy in the campaign including the final boss with a flick of his finger
>>does nothing but go on long winded rants
That's literally Gandalf but people still like him for some reason
Tolkien wrote a whole bunch of rules about why Gandalf couldn't do it.
Peter cut all of it out so now we've got tee hee why didn't eagles?
The eagles cope never made sense. Mordor is a ashen volcanic wasteland full of smog and toxic gases. The eagles would all choke to death from Ash and smoke long before they reached Mount Doom. Not counting being shot down or hunted down midair since you could see them coming to Mordor.
Also doesn't Sauron have flying drakes or whatever?
They’d never even get past the misty mountains
Eagles are sapient, powerful and prideful beings; one of them would have ripped Frodo in half and stolen the ring almost immediately.
Bilbo only got away with it because the ring was dormant at the time.
Gandalf was always less powerful than Sauron and during the events of TLotR he's also using a body that severely limits his strength.
Gandalf is extremely limited since he's only supposed to guide and instruct Man, not handle all of their problems for them. And he's only there to do that much because Sauron is causing problems, once he's gone he leaves Middle Earth to the mortal races and departs back to the Eternal Lands. Tolkien gave very explicit reasons for why the Maiar didn't just crush Sauron, rallying against him was part of Mans test to see if they were worthy stewards. Meanwhile in FR there are tons of epic level powers both Good and Evil that kinda just sit around and do nothing for no apparent reason whatsoever.
tl;dr word salad it's ok when Tolkien does it because it's normie-slop
Tolkiens world and characters make sense, FR doesn't, is that simple enough for you to understand, you mongoloid?
yep, that's elminster alright
Speaking of old men, is Fizban/Bahamut in the game?
I thought Fizban was from Dragonlance?
High powered beings only DIRECTLY intervene against high powered threats, it is known.
Otherwise nobody could grow, and that defies the basic principles of the universe we inhabit.
So you're saying Elminster is too much of a big deal to tell the netherbrain to frick off?
idk his power level but you gotta let people sink or swim sometimes is what i'm saying
He's got no stats in 5e but that's him in 3.5
What does the archmage class give?
The ability to permanently give up spell splits in exchange for various abilities
https://www.d20srd.org/srd/prestigeClasses/archmage.htm
If it resides on the material plane it's too minor for him
I've only seen a few scenes from the game, but the writing seems pretty gay in that soulless reddit/marvel way
is the game pozzed goyslop trash or did i see a few bad clips?
try again without the buzzwords
is the game moronic garbage or does it feature quality writing, homosexual?
It's funny when people with severe autism try to fit in
Is it true that the level cap is only 12 because Larian couldn't figure out how to implement higher level spells?
>Is it true that the level cap is only 12
Yes
>because Larian couldn't figure out how to implement higher level spells?
No. BG1 had a xp cap which made it so most classes where around level 8 max. Also data from WotC show that the majority of campaigns never go beyond level 13
Interesting, thanks.
5e is designed so you really only go to about 15 max even though the cap is 20.
Anything past that is stupidly unbalanced, both in term of player ability and monster design.
>stupidly unbalanced
That starts at level 1, not 15. 5e is a dogshit game designed to be as bland as possible to appeal to normies.
>5e is a dogshit game designed to be as bland as possible to appeal to normies.
no, 5e was literally designed to attempt to appeal to all the older players they lost during 4e.
It was "simplified" because earlier AD&D was simple on the player end, and you didn't get a million options. That's why stuff like Feats were "Optional Rules' in the PHB, because they knew newer players wanted the crunch, but older players from the 1e/2e era hated stuff like 4e and a lot weren't happy with the "videogame-ified" 3e.
They've since drifted from that original vision and are more focused on their absolutely huge newer audience these days.
The original intention during and following the 5e playtesting was there to constantly be "rules modules" (optional rules) that could be fitted into the game to more tailor it for how your group likes to play (so 1e could make it more "1e", 3e players could make it more "3e", etc). They quickly fell through, especially after Mike Mearls was no longer in charge of D&D (who was sort of spearheading attempting more interesting stuff like Mass battle rules and Psionics). 5e has been super safe under different leadership.
Man that rules module thing sounds cool shame it fell through
5e ditched prestige classes in favor of variant versions of base classes right? maybe if the rules module idea had gone ahead more they could have provided prestige class versions of some of the variants.
Also you mentioned mass battle rules? how complete were they before he left? I really liked the 3e mass battle book
Midnight is dead, Cyric killed her, so Gale didn't frick her, he fricked her replacement. Also lmfao at "one of the few" Mystra in every form has been a complete prostitute who regularly fricks mortals she fancies, usually several of them, male and female.
did none of you people ever play a dnd game before?
The Forgotten Realms setting is so fricking moronic why do you even care
Nobody even follows Ed Greenwood’s canon. They do their own thing.
name a better fantasy kitchensink
nta but its kitchensinkness is most of what I dislike about it
Anon said ignoring the website that has all information on what Ed Greenwood has personally said.
Greenwoods contract stipulates that what he writes is canon unless it's contradicted by what WotC states. So in other words nothing he says actually matters since WotC can wave their hand and completely change everything and he can't do shit but eat it. And WotC is never going to allow all of Greenwoods hedonistic and lewd stuff in any actual published material, so it may as well not exist.
A game set in Netheril when magic was more powerful would be cool.
Why are liches always the absolute best Wizards in the lore?
Because only the best wizards are good enough to become liches.
>Live "forever"
>But penis shrivels and dries up and falls off
What even is the point in the first place...
and in reality it's "live until a plucky band of adventurers sets their sights on your treasure hoard"
If you end up in a situation where you unironically want to become an undead creature just to live forever, you are probably so fricked in the head that you no longer even think about sex.
That ain't normal.
That's some real psycho shit.
They need help.
>Gandalf, what's up my homie, I... I mean "Elminster Aumar", fellow TLOTR copyright lawyers....
A line that long is very standard fare in the first two games. Elminster could have also done the Bhaalspawn's job, but he didn't because then there wouldn't be a game.
New generation of heros need to be trained against something
That said OPs thing does make it sound like a pretty big threat, but the game ends at like level 13 it can't be that major an issue he can't trust it to others

>Why isn't The Rock giving me personal tips on how to work out and wrestle? Why do I have to go to the gym and learn myself?
the setting can have powerful characters up to a point. for an abstract example, take real life: there are a lot of people who believe in God, and yet he doesn't go around solving every single little problem for every single person even though he could. believers tend to chalk this up to him having overriding motives preventing him from helping in this way, rather than to him being a disagreeable lazy butthole who just doesn't feel like helping.
further, not every story within a given setting needs to directly entangle every character. for instance you can just run an adventure in 5e, even in the Forgotten Realms, without involving Eliminster. maybe he's busy doing something on who-knows-what-plane. maybe nobody knows how to contact him right now.
this isn't some unsolvable writing dilemma.
Is Minsc autistic?
I never played any of the Baldur's Gate games, but that pic makes him look moronic.
He has literal brain damage.
In this game everyone has brain damage. Which can conveniently be used as an excuse for the poor quality of writing.
Well, the image is of companions from BG1 so Minsc was especially notable for being the original brain damaged companion, which is why he's popular enough to still be around.
>>>why is this setting completely devoid of any characters higher than level 2
Nobody has ever asked this ever in a video game. It's expected that the protagonist and his party are going to outstrip every other human character within the first couple of hours, because otherwise the inevitable conclusion is "why didn't all these other OP characters just go and finish the story for me?". The point of the everyman is the fallacy of the American Dream, in which everyone is purely responsible for their own success and the reason you become the strongest man in the world is because nobody else cared enough.
>NPCs more powerful than tbe PCs exist
It's fine right up to the point that they have nigh-instant travel (teleport, dragon riding) and some way of knowing where they're needed.
If Elminster was a lvl 30 fighter there'd be no issue. Also why the FRICK is Ed Greenwood's gary stu still shitting up this setting
Kino.
If this was at least 15 minutes long and has one Jumpscare it would sell.
>a post-hero RPG where an adventurer has to face off against an existential crisis
kino
And then the actual game is a 500 hour in-depth farming simulator with no outside threats because Smithings protects the whole valley.
Does Drizzt show up?
How old would he be at the point this game is set? Says forgotten realms Dark elves live 700 to 1000 years
BG3 is only a hundred years after 2 so it's not that far off. That's why Jaheira's still there. They had to come up with some bullshit to explain Volo though.
He was only 71 in BG1, he should be very much alive.
he's only 193ish in the current books.
>current books
That shit's still ongoing?
can you kill him?
does he drop anything?
how much exp does he give?
In the screenshot, you can, but I think it's a simulacrum or something because he shows up as a level 1 wizard but with 90~ HP and can cast Sunbeam. He just dissolves into ice or whatever after you kill him so no loot. Hopefully he shows up again later for real so I can try again.
This is a legit 7 out of 10 game. Anybody who thinks this game is good (or God forbid, great) is a genuine imbecile. This isn't even up to discussion. If it's not obvious to you, you don't know what RPGs are about.
Elminster is a tremendous homosexual and should've died in his trip to Hell.
When will people learn that Wizards are just buttholes?
That really is the whole issue here
when you are unfathomably powerful and have lived unthinkably long, you just stop giving a frick
Baldur's Gate Elminster:

>Spend months around Beregost and Baldur's Gate following the Bhaalspawn around and hitting him with ever more moral questions before getting bored and fricking off entirely

>Also found time to give Jaheria a pin
He's a wizard, he really doesn't give a frick what happens. Dude is warped beyond belief, don't expect help from him
Elminster canonically goes to Earth to give Ed Greenwood updates on what is going on for him to update the "lore" of his "setting". He must have been working with Black Isle making the game.
Did they canonically have sex?
Edminster transforms into hot Faerun babes and Greenwood jerk offs to them. No penetration
>wizard fricks everything that moves
>still turns you down
lmao
Didn't they turn him into a cuck?
Not really.
Both Elminster and Mystra are both colossal prostitutes, so Gale fricking her is just Tuesday
If you had all the power players step up, it'd quickly escalate into another war where all the gods are slapping the shit out of eachother and the world would get truly fricked up. Again.
Also, it's important to note that, while Elminster is a skilled mage, he is not all-powerful by any stretch. He is bound by Mystra's edicts as much as anyone.
Why Forgotten Realms setting so degenerate? What spurns a man to put his fetishes into a public work so unabashedly?
Which DND module is best? Will we ever get Dark Sun games?
Module as in any supplement or a specific campaign? Campaign-wise, Die, Vecna, Die! is the all time greatest and splatbook is a hard call. I'm split between 3.5 Eberron Campaign Setting, Manual of the Planes, Fiendish Codex II and 2e Planescape Campaign Setting and Ravenloft Realms of Dread.
i regret so much not killing these 2 now.
dude's a demigod at this point. he can't get directly involved in mortal affairs too much, or his enemies who are also evil gods and demigods will get involved too, and that's not going to be good for anyone.
Most of his main enemies are dead or weaker than him at this point. There's like, Manshoon and Szass Tam left.
There's some motherfrickers who are stronger than him around the region (Creeping Doom by Waterdeep) but I dont think they would care.
That's his enemies from 80s and 90s novels.
I don't really follow forgotten realms lore but I assume he's made more powerful enemies now, being the chosen of mystra and all and accounting for D&D OC donut steel powercreep.
Didn't he go down to hell and frick shit up at some point? Probably pissed off all sorts of archdevils.
