#Ogre Mage

[oldschoolfrp]

"Japanese ogre" by Greg Bell from D&D Supplement I: Greyhawk, TSR, 1976. The Greyhawk supplement introduced rules for "ogre magi" or "Japanese ogres," clearly based on the oni of folklore, though the term oni was not used at this time.

mulling over the likelihood that the vampire has been stalking Sibyl and didn't decide to turn her over a single encounter.

very heavily considering that he decided to approach her in a manufactured moment of darkness, a moment he may have sincerely attempted to trigger by purchasing "Salsa Verde" for $500,000

Finally caved and made a dunmeshi oc… meet Iroha :D she’s a hedonist fun loving ogre girl who’s currently traveling the world and bar hopping. She loves alcohol and gambling (enough to get exiled from the Eastern Archipelago about it) and will socialize with just about anyone.

godddd magortell and his secondary timeline party would be so ass at adventuring (I say secondary timeline because he has two distinct ones with two different groups of friends that exist independently of each other) . .. You've got magortell, the halffoot mage with like 0 mana who can cast 1 giant explosion every 24 hours, salvoroct, the OTHER halffoot who's a fighter trying to be a tank but because he's so small is more like a momentary distraction, and mawsie who's a gnome cleric who smokes Magic Gnome Weed. their asses are not fucking surviving

Denam is slowly going insane from survivor's guilt and meanwhile Catiua's going insane because Denam keeps throwing himself into harm's way for the sake of strangers and I'm feeling really normal about it

Wizard and minions (Russ Nicholson from "Strangers in the Night: Wandering Monsters in D&D" by Phil Palmer, White Dwarf 46, October 1983). A common motif in Nicholson's illustrations is one main figure glaring directly at the viewer.

December trading post banger after fucking banger.

It's so funny never having played a mage in Dao because every once in a while I'll see someone in my feed talking about their own blorbos and how broken mages are in comparison to the rest of the classes , and I'm just

I realize its because he hasn't done anything yet to piss him off, but I think its a very moe contrast in how respectful and deferential Samson is to Parker.

God the fucking THEMING of the awakenings is getting to me so good.

Bill getting confirmation that his whole world view is correct, down the the aliens, and using his magic to literally unravel the conspiracy

Sibyl's want for human connection and understanding and connection through art being the thing that both damns and saves her in the same moment, sending her to a world of gore and dreams only to wake up again

Fucking boringass Everyman Samson getting monkey's-paw-ed into killing someone else with the one thing that he concentrated on so singlemindedly (SIDE NOTE; did he actually awaken? Or is this another mage fucking with a mortal? Where is this bastard's avatar? Earndil COME BACK HERE I HAVE QUESTIONS)

And Mr Parker.

"Everything around here feels like it's still dying."

NOT FOR GODDAM LONG IF /THE COLLECTOR/ HAS HIS WAY. Unflappable and psychotic indeed.

list of theories i have about DA4's protagonist

Escaped Slave. The protag, regardless of race and class, starts as a Tevinter slave. Through shenanigans (planned revolt, happenstance during a different but also important event, maybe the work of the agent of Fen'Harel if you're an elf) you escape and become tangled up in the plot.

Escaped Sacrifice. Same as above but you were going to be used a blood magic sacrifice and maybe they started it but something goes wrong and the blood magic power goes into you, making you Special™

Return of DAO's origin mechanic. Your start is based on your race and class like in DAO, with unique opening. Elves regardless of class start as slaves, Humans can start as apprentice magisters or non-mage child of magister family, dwarves are (and this is self indulgent lmao) Kal-Sharok dwarves but more likely you're a surface merchant family that trades in Tevinter. Qunari are tal-vashoth and slaves and/or local oddities.

Fade Spirit in Mortal Body. I've had this theory for years. So, like Cole, and kind of like Justice, you are a spirit who is bound to a mortal body/becomes corporeal but you don't know what kinda of spirit, or even demon, you are. Your choices and actions throughout the game shape what kind of fade being you are (being nice and wanting to help people could reveal you're a spirit of compassion and give you buffs that assist your companions, being self-important and cruel could make you a pride demon with buffs to physical/lightning dmg, etc) Will this happen? no. I want it tho.

One time I had a dream the PC for DA4 was an Awakened Darkspawn. A bitch can (literally) dream. (BRING BACK THE ARCHITECT BIOWARE)
