Yeah, I've had that too.
What's really interesting is that this guy is taking on the three of them alone. The only other artificer to go with him on the expedition was the shifter artillerist, and I guess she stayed behind on the airship.
In case anyone is wondering where the story goes from...
Correct. Warforged Titans are not particularly intelligent and are intended to serve as mounts for other combatants. They're kind of like walking battering rams / siege towers.
That character happens to be a changeling, as evidenced by the art accompanying the changeling species entry:
And the three figures running toward him in the second picture are these guys (Emerald Claw agents with a new - or should I say old? - look):
Yeah, I hadn't gotten up to that point in the show yet. I've now seen all 4 episodes, so I know the "young Will" being referred to now. The Duffer bros did a fantastic job finding little kids who resemble Noah and Finn.
I think the general public will be more familiar with the term sorcerer than psion. That’s probably why they chose the former.
If anything, he’s more of a spell thief rogue since he’s really just channeling Vecna’s own power. I’m guessing he won’t keep the power after Vecna is defeated...
It’s not the first time they haven’t quite got the D&D stuff right. Doesn’t really bother me as much as some other stuff does (like Russians in full Soviet military uniforms hiding under a middle American town).
