This is my vote. BG3 is still massively popular and a bad BG4 might blow up in their face. MUCH safer to do Icewind Dale 3 to capitalize on nostalgia and BG3 momentum, but also able to wave it off if the game does poorly.

You did specify Class, but High Elves are worth mentioning.

You know, it's definitely a looong way away from how I run my own games. But assuming the game itself is spectacular, I would probably just make charlatan characters who make up things about the world until I actually learn enough through natural gameplay. Literally faking it until I make it. :geek:

If I understand correctly, they want the character interacting with the world as much as possible. You wouldn't ask the DM what your character knows, you would actually talk to NPCs or go to the place and explore personally. There's no "Blood, what do I know about the mayor?" Instead there is "I...

I would use the words "Isekai-adjacent" or "Avatar game." As in, you're playing yourself and what you personally know, just transported into a fantasy world. Even if the characters are not actually from our world magically appearing in your world, the play experience seems similar.

Tremorsense says "the same surface or the same liquid." So my reading is that a creature with tremorsense on stone can sense things on stone, but not in liquid. If they were in a liquid, they could sense things in the liquid, but not the stone nearby. This gives some flexibility for ground and...

There are a lot of people begging Legend of Vox Machina to cast Mark Hamill as Vecna. Some old images, but it shows CR are definitely aware of it:

Vecna really deserves all those Skeletor jokes. 💀

Start developing narcissistic tendencies. Spend long minutes gazing blissfully into mirrors and lakes. :love:

Accepting that there will be some unnecessarily vague wording and some unbalance in every edition, I like most of the changes in 5.5e. I especially love the thunderous amount of art. It's practically an art book!

Do NOT get her wet, and do NOT feed her after midnight!

Agreed. I've made an intentional effort to include more downtime in my games, but I naturally lean towards fast paced story arcs that happen over the course of a week or two per arc. And when I do include downtime opportunities, it's usually just a week unless I'm doing a big time skip after a...

Tanis or Laurana also pops into my head, but Bane is a hilarious option that would monopolize on BG3. His quips and narration would probably be far more amusing than poor Tanis or Laurana.

I don't think there's anything really wrong with it. You can contribute in combat with very little investment, and save most of your resources for other things. I would love invocations for other cantrips, though!

Whatever raw materials are necessary for the Shield spell are about to see a spike in demand!

Yeah, not much dumbing down in the series unless you count streamlined spellcasting down to a handful of iconic abilities. I actually appreciate that the show has a relatively limited amount "character shouts what is happening, so the audience understands." Some of the new content is downright...

I thought they were saying those meats play those classes: Duck Barbarians, Bovine Bards, Alligator Rogue, Yak Wizards, etc. :D

Excellent.
