I'm always going to go for the Argentinian bodysuit

Feel free to tell me why in the tags!

"Bhaalspawn" is a template that can be added to any dragon, fey, giant, humanoid, monstrous humanoid, outsider, or shapechanger (referred to hereafter as the "base creature"). The creature's type changes to "outsider." It uses all the base creature's statistics and special abilities...

Looking at that article again (I enjoy it, leave me alone).

For context, if you're confused by "template," in 3.5e when a character was unusual in some way the template was a bunch of extra rules you put on top of the "base creature" (so if a human is a Chosen, or had unusual parentage such as being Half-dragon, or in this case having Bhaal for a father, you start with a human character and then put the template's mechanics and rules on top of the "base" human ones)

But moving onto what caught my eye; the mortal parents of Bhaalspawn belonged to categories including: "dragon, fey, giant, humanoid, monstrous humanoid, outsider, or shapechanger."

Bhaal what (who?) the hell were you doing. I mean I already had an idea, but what, are there dryad Bhaalspawn? Pixies? Lemures??

Also; "The creatures type changes to "outsider.""

Uuuuh... Turns out - in tabletop rules at least - Bhaalspawn are not even human[oid]!

Outsiders are things like elementals, devils, demons, celestials, modrons...

Honestly that would make a lot of sense regarding dying in BG1+2 where you just get insta game over when you die, your body dissolves into ashes and your soul fucks off to the Throne of Blood.

"Unlike most other living creatures, an outsider does not have a dual nature; its soul and body form one unit. When an outsider is slain, no soul is set loose. Spells that restore souls to their bodies, such as raise dead, reincarnate, and resurrection, don’t work on an outsider. It takes a different magical effect, such as limited wish, wish, miracle, or true resurrection to restore it to life. An outsider with the native subtype can be raised, reincarnated, or resurrected just as other living creatures can be."

When a creature of the outsider type dies outside of their native plane, their body disintegrates (or something like that) and reforms on their home plane. If Bhaalspawn are outsiders considered native to their father's domain in the Lower Planes, they'll return there on death and reform (and would only be permanently destroyed if they died within the plane itself).

They didn't explain this in game, but since the article is written by the original game writers, I assume this is how it worked in-game. I thought it was being innately tied to Bhaal, but no, it's the plane itself.

This is more relevant to Charname, Imoen, Sarevok and the original games because Larian paid absolutely no attention to that part of those games but HUH.

❤: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

Gimme the salt. Let’s do the Elden Ring fandom 😈

(Asks from this ( x ) meme)

❤: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

Siiiiigg..... you are not even TRYING to pretend to not bait me, do you, birdbrains? 🙄 Fine, I'll tap the sign:

In fact, I think Marika and Radagon both! There have been multiple attempts to remove any agency from Marika even before SOTE, to be fair, always trying to paint her as "just a helpless marionette of Greater Will who finally rebelled", and...

while we are at it, Greater Will itself is awfully mischaracterized! All the deprived demands and clinginess ascribed to it were actually most likely the doing of Two Fingers that claim to act in its name! Greater Will created existence itself and sent some shooting stars (Metyr as first and Elden Beast as last) to do some controlling and help, and then either went dormant or moved towards creating new existences somewhere else! Frenzied Flame is opposite power of it, existential despair that wants to stop all pain and struggle that comes with

YEAH YEAH WE KNOW whatever! But Greater Will and Frenzied Flame are two sides of One Great that got fractured in two! Greater Will is "all things are known in relation" (referring to disparity and all that divides and distinguishes), and Frenzied Flame is "all things yearn to converge". Two core laws of Golden Order Fundamentalism, that is scholarship trying to comprehend how the existence works and what drives it and what started it! So tell me why-

Tell me why the very fundamental force that created existence and life as concept in general, that massive thing beyond comprehension, would be so nitpicky, mean and pathetic as to tell Marika which species to oppress, who to kill or which guy to marry? It is too big (and that's what she said lol). Is it all because Two Fingers claim that they are consulting the Greater Will? The Greater Will that abandoned the Lands Between so long ago that even Metyr doesn't get any signals anymore?

Yes, I think Greater Will is the existence, it is plain to see, but Metyr and bg effect her offspring were sent in the Lands Between to terraform it (look at Finger Ruins) and be the last saving resort if existence falls into state of primordial chaos, and Elden Beast/Ring is the tool with which current God, Dragon or human(oid) or Giant or whoever else can shape laws of nature! Two Fingers are the ones who can nudge living beings towards this or that decision, as they are interested in orderly nature laws!

At the same time, Two Fingers don't even care what the Order IS! They give Dung Eater the power to curse everyone with Omen, they give Fia the power to restore Death's place in Elden Ring in a much more grim way than before, they even give Goldmask the power to make it so that the Golden Order takes shape of "objective truth" that is not up to interpretation or biases of mortal mind! It is very indifferent about whether things will go good or bad, as long as nature functions by rules and is not in disarray as Marika left it! So you tell me that a grandchild of Greater Will, someone far closer to mortal mind by definition, doesn't care about details or biases of the world or who rules it, but Greater Will would? Besides, Two Fingers allowing the chance to include oppressed species back into nature with vengeance further proves that decision to oppress them was on Marika, not on Greater Will or its vassals, like Two Fingers are! They only get mad if someone slacks away from the duty to give nature laws and purpose (like Demigods)... and Greater Will? It created life and left tools to control and shape it, here, its job was done!

......

What, you expected me to rant about Marika? To say how bizarre it is to see her as innocent little baby who acts and looks like just a goofy little sister in need of protection to her own sons? To express my disapproval of removing all agency from her character and placing the blame for all her bad actions on either Radagon or Greater Will? To say how her obvious intent to make a better, kinder world of life and healing doesn't prevent the tragedy of making more and more sacrifices and atrocities for this world, to the point it isn't worth it? That she broke Elden Ring because all that finally caught up to her, her efforts didn't matter, and if anything assassination of her perfect celebrated favored Golden Boy (and many other Demigods) just shown what people, allies that Black Knives were no less, REALLY think of her "perfect world"? That she had the chance to stop vicious cycle, but chose the path of revenge of unheard-of severity even by Golden Order standards, that roped countless innocent lives in it? That it was coward move to leave Messmer in Shadow Land to wage his endless war instead of finding a way to control his penchant for too much fascism? Oh, what's up, you are scared that he will burn you or your Erdtree if not isolated? You can only grow trees and flowers, but are not willing to take the risk, even if it means potentially preventing endless genocide? She truly wished for better world than the one that allowed extermination of her tribe, and she is very scholarly and mature, even preserving knowledge about those she defeated unlike Messmer who is willing to burn even the history itself, but it doesn't mean that she can't have critical flaws or make mistakes! Building better world is a HORRIBLY morally burdening quest because for it nations have to die or be put on a leash for it (or striped off free will like what Miquella wanted to do), and yet so many Youtubers and simps takeaway from it is "well no, she only genocided eeeeevil creatures that were just cancer plagueing this world :("? Really? Do you comprehend the weight, burden and complexity of this character at all?

Or you want me to point out how bizarre the comment "Marika is kindness without Order and Radagon is Order without kindness" was, when Golden Order, that Radagon literally IS, is a direct result of Marika's vision of laws of nature? When he is like this because Marika is like this, only, she wished to destroy what she created and Radagon reasonably didn't want to die? That it says 'kindness of gold' and Radagon is Golden Order, so how he is supposed to exist without "kindness", by definition? Even if you assume that he is some sort of gigachad that went out of control and wishes to oppress, he would still be born of Marika's urges, maybe even repressed ones that she hoped she healed from! But definitely not some usurpator Two Fingers showed into Marika's being! His living is conjoined with who Marika is in a very twisted manner, he is not a God nor a human but sentient laws of nature! HER laws!

...Well, I just did hdhrhfhg Only, you already know all about it. You read the Super Giga Huge Extra Large Long XXXXXL tread diving into Marika more ( x ). But "slander" of Greater Will might be a less addressed thing, after all! And also the one I fell for myself before! I think @val-of-the-north could explain it better later!

I got to think how Mirdania tried on one of the rings and saw Sauron's true Maia form. She described him a tall being made of flames with "pitiless eyes." Honestly, it reminded me of how he appeared to Galadriel and company in the Hobbit Series before she went all Dark Uinen/Magical Ex on him. 😏 I honestly like the idea that as gods, the Maiar are formed of the natural wonders they represent. They have human(oid) forms, but their truest forms are as elementals. It also fits Tolkien's lore because he described Uinen's long wavy hair being the actual waves of the sea and covering the world. I also think their truest elemental selves can also be beautiful, but in a rather eldritch way that can terrify most beings like Mirdania was. It reminds me how in Biblical lore, angels are divinely beautiful, but also totally scary and alien-looking, hence why when they appear they tell mortals "Be not afraid!" LOL

I thought the same thing. It really is like that with the eldritch horrors, the various types of angels in the Bible (more so Old Testament), or like in Guillermo del Toro's movies (which I do love most of his LOL) which he's stated he's done to look like those too. I do like the idea too that they take on the elements of their powers with that form too.

Hmm, how familiar...

Yes! It is the apocalypse siblings!

Though in eternal slumber, trapped somewhere they don't even know, the apocalypse siblings have managed to manifest their consciousness to roam the living world and observe it.

However, they are but frail, mortal Cookies in this form. Though they may use their five senses, they cannot impact the world around them in a way that matters. They may disappear and reappear at will, making many who have seen them believe they are ghosts, which is partially and technically true.

Dalgona Ivory appears as a sickly Cookie with strange underbaked dough (or rubbery skin if you're thinking human(oid), Pepper X appears as a strong warrior, Black Coffee appears as a physically frail wizard, and Fugu appears as a mere traveler.

What are they up to? Whatever Cookies do I guess?
