[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 8127928, member: 926"] Great stuff! Celtic mythology can be pretty crazy; for example, the descriptions of the Warp Spasm sound nightmarish. I used Celtic mythology to name my current main PC, a 9th level Half-Elven Bard of the College of Swords named Taliesin, and his father Gwydion (two legendary Celtic Bards.) And Taliesin is absolutely the most badass character in our party, In our last game session this past Sunday I turned a major combat engagement that our DM thought might kill one of us (a Night Hag, two Bone Devils, and a VERY HIGH LEVEL Warlock) into a cakewalk with a single stealthily cast Hypnotic Pattern that got all of them (DC 17 Wisdom save with Disadvantage due to his Doss Lute, which he rocks out on like a guitar) and a subsequent Charm Monster on a Bone Devil. I then waded into combat with three attacks per round (wielding twin rapiers) and an Armor Class that could hit 31 in short bursts due to my Defensive Flourish, while every so often pausing to heal the other party members (I am also the party's primary healer and we do just fine.) And if one of us [I]had [/I]died, I could have [I]Raised [/I]them. If anyone [I]ever [/I]tells you that Bards are weak or lame, you [B]laugh [/B]at them. [/QUOTE]
