I know this is very specific to myself, but it kind of tickles me how all of my PCs i've been actively playing make a very nice little party by themselves. Like it would be super boring to do so, but it would make sense to play them as a party (with three custom hirelings), and they'd be very much a viable set, for like an honor run down the line or something.
Ray would of course be the leader- he's a fighter/barbarian build, a genuine frontline hero, and a formidable, veteran warrior in-fiction. I mean fuck, he's the Inquisitor, he became a living legend at 24, and the only reason few remember it is that that was 30 years ago. He's very skilled and reliable, mostly chaotic good, and a good tactician to boot. He has the seniority, as well as the experience, for everyone to default to letting him lead.
Arvid, the cleric, is their healer, and the other frontline soldier. In-fiction he's also cool-headed, mostly lawful good, and very good at following the orders of a commander- together, these two men are a veritable meatshield. Not to mention that with Ray as their tank, the healer being on his heels would probably be a good move- and though they might occasionally disagree on the reasons, but they'll generally agree on the right thing to do and hold sway over the other two.
Iona is not only a high-damage ranged- and utility caster, but also a very charismatic person: a haggler, a negotiator, and, while not the most morally upstanding person (she's kind of.... true neutral to neutral good, sort of), in general she can be very useful as the public face of the party. While it'd be Ray's presence that says "trust me", it'd be her words that hold actual power (something of which she'd be keenly aware), and it does seem fun to have the boys rely on the one tiny woman among them to do all the party's talking.
And Petyr is a hell of a marksman. He's, at his core, a survivalist- he may be a bit questionable as far as allegiances are concerned (i'm thinking true- to chaotic neutral), but he's fast, stealthy, lethal, and the most mobile of all of them, zipping around the battlefield and picking people off one after the other. Not super talented with the lockpicking portions, but honestly that's beside the point. They just need Iona to drop a haste spell on him, and all the others really have to do is keep him from getting swarmed.
It's a really fun combo. kinda wanna draw them, kinda wanna play them, kinda wanna watch a whimsical animated series starring them.
#squirrel plays bg3#like i'm getting a little bit of a Homeward Bound vibe which amuses me#Ray is the old golden retriver who is greying around the muzzle and he's just trying his best to keep everyone alive#Arvid would be a blue heeler. because. he's um. well a blue healer for one#but also he's tiny and got that “well-trained working dog” kind of discipline and need to feel useful#and Iona and Petyr are just. cats.#she's a v pretty and stubborn long-haired ginger cat. the kind whose aloof affection makes you feel Privileged#like you have been granted the Ultimate Honor which is to Pet Her#he's a garden-variety brown tabby. emblematic streetcat. half-feral.#like you might as well get a rabies shot if he bites you; just to be sure#he goes for the jugular too so. careful.#oc: raymond trevelyan#oc: arvid trygg#oc: iona raedir#oc: petyr wildbrook
