Hey I made this document with everything Raphael says in BG3

Why? Why not!

And what are you supposed to do with this? I don't care! Use it as reference for writing fic, learn to live by Raphael's words, print it out and eat it, do whatever you want, as long as you have fun doing it!

[arcandoria]

I edited/cleaned up the in-game papers to be filled in as you'd like!

The .zip contains two versions of each model:

A .psd with the text box in the correct in-game font size and text fill area.

A .png with the blank page.

The .psd uses the in-game font Quadraat. It's available to download in the resources folder together with the papers.

No credit was added in the templates themselves, so reblogs are appreciated. ❣️

[ PAPERS, FONT AND OTHER RESOURCES HERE ]

If you find this useful, please consider dropping me a Ko-Fi (there's fun free BG3 OC themed templates there as well!)

[little-paperboat]

so i was busy (not) writing and found this diamond mine of BG3 references:

This includes the art of people who contributed to the game's assets. There are, among others:

clothes, potions and weapons designs ;

armours and outfits ;

concept art of items and props ;

incredible close ups of Karlach's face ;

details for Astarion and Karlach outfits ;

Aylin and Orin designs from head to toe ;

high quality environment references for Ramazith's Tower and the vaults, or the Lower City and its houses ;

close-up of monsters;

etc etc.

I guess the whole thing isn't exactly a secret since the date of publication is September 2023, but I had no clue it existed! Since I'm in a deep rabbit hole at the moment, I thought I'd share it anyway 🌸

Raphael PSD Pack

I made a PSD pack for all of Raphael’s scenes (at least 95%) for those who would like to make gifs/edits and just wanna drag and drop effects on top of them.

Go ahead and use them and tweak them accordingly if you want, just tag me if you do!

You can also find my recorded scenes with no subtitles/UI and in 1080p and can download them to use them!

PSD Pack 1080p scenes

EDIT:

If you are using your own footage, the Psds might vary. I have my brightness set to above default. I find it's easier to tweak when your raw footage is brighter than they are darker as you can just bump them down accordingly during the effects phase!

BG3 Spell Voice Lines Cheat Sheet

Here's a spreadsheet of BG3 spells (levels 1-6) and their vocal components/voice lines.

This is a work in progress, combining info from various sources. Some spells don't have voice lines, some have voice lines but aren't listed in the sources (will have to verify in-game), and some have voice lines but I couldn't understand what was being said, lol.

For any feedback/corrections, feel free to send me a message! I would also appreciate help in figuring out some of the voice lines <3

[eeldritchblast]

I swear I saw someone share something like this before, but since I couldn't find it I decided to share my own Astarion art resources.

(I uploaded the scar vector way back in EA days, but included it here too for ease of reference.)

[livebeginning]

I went through some of the official material to find sources that might be useful when writing Raphael and Haarlep (may also be helpful when writing Mizora and Mephistopheles). Here's a collection of what I found, with some notes.

Overview:

Cambion and succubus stat blocks

More stat blocks

Devil contracts

Avernus

Magic in Avernus

Map of Avernus

Blood War

Soul coin

Menu

Infernal Cambions

Mephistopheles

Ranks

Devil Cults

From the Monster Manual:

Cambion stat block

BG3 only players might not be familiar with these spells, so I'm linking them here: Alter Self - Detect Magic - Plane Shift

Note that this version for Plane Shift only works on the cambion themself, whereas the spell normally works on up to eight willing creatures, or one unwilling creature. Raphael might have used a variant of the spell to unwillingly transport the player and companions to the House of Hope and back.

"Telepathic Bond" is an interesting ability that Haarlep doesn't have in BG3.

There is a spell called Shapechange but it seems to work very differently from Shapechanger.

Also, the whole "taking your form and you can feel when it's being use" thing isn't mentioned here, it might be something unique to Haarlep or something they learned, rather than an inherent ability.

From the Monster Manual Expanded:

More stat blocks

From Descent into Avernus:

Devil Contracts

I feel that in the Infernal Hierarchy, Raphael falls into the "Duke" category, which is probably unusual for a cambion. (He is not an archduke, as archdukes are the rulers of the hells. He wants to be one, but isn't yet.)

The contract forms we see him use in the game are close to "Infernal Scroll" (the contract the player can sign) and "Song of the devil" (the contract he made with Yurgir).

Avernus

"Pieces of cities stolen from other planes" might also be the case with the HoH, though Raphael probably added the devil statues later on.

Magic in Avernus

Good to keep in mind when writing a wizard character!

Map of Avernus

Blood War

I don't think Raphael works directly for Zariel. He still has to follow her laws though, as we can see in the HoH, where the archivist is expecting a visit from Zariel's High Inquistor.

I think Raphael might be paying the hell equivalent of taxes to Zariel for living and operating out of Avernus. He may also occasionally sell useful items or souls to Zariel's forces, to profit from the Blood War. He does mention one of his goals is to end (win) the blood war, so he is at least on Zariel's side, if not fighting with her directly.

Soul coin

That's about 13 cm and 150 grams.

Menu

Some dishes one might be served in the hells. Raphael also mentions "Cocktails and Canapés" when talking to Yurgir, so that's something that exists in this world!

From Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes:

Infernal Cambions

This could be the reason why many of Raphael's attacks create Hellfire, which is something Mephistopheles invented.

Mephistopheles

Ranks

Like I said above, I think Raphael has the title of Duke, which would put him at rank 12, but I think rank 11 would also be realistic.

Devil Cults

I don't think Raphael would worship Mephisto, but you could easily argue he has inherited his affinity for fire magic through genetics.

Also note that unlike most other devils, Raphael is not trapped in the Nine Hells. As a cambion he can plane shift once per day and can easily access the Material Plane. He might still want a cult worshipping him for other reasons though.

baldur’s gate 3 romance user boxes

please like/reblog if using, thank you! ‎✿

[hazywhiskerz]

Enjoy!! This is a ftu resource so if u want to use it for reference or whatever you need, go ham!!

BG3 books/scrolls/documents MASTERLIST

I am being autistic and putting all the bg3 writings into one big document, check it out here ----->

I am aware im missing some stuff from act 1 still, they're either in my inventory, or I didn't kill certain characters in this run-through. This document will constantly be updated.

[dragonagitator]

What's this? A BG3 article on a gaming journalism website that isn't just a summary of yesterday's Reddit posts? Unpossible!

PC Gamer: I stayed at all 17 of Baldur's Gate 3's unique campsites and painstakingly rated the accommodations like some kind of Forgotten Realms bon vivant by Ted Litchfield

Would have been funnier if written in the style of Harrington Nethalin, but still a nice little resource for BG3 fanfic authors.

[wildfairies]

regarding your latest bg3 text post about mods: I feel you! Would you mind sharing the gameplay mods? I really wanna try as well :)

i'd be happy to! gotta put some disclaimers though:

i don't personally care about "game balance" on repeat playthroughs, so a lot of this stuff might seem OP, especially all put together lol. some of these mod authors suggest mods that increase difficulty for balance.

i can't guarantee that all these mods will work together safely, flawlessy, or effectively. this isn't a mod list, i'm just sharing mods i've personally been enjoying.

be thorough if you install them-- read description pages, check for compatibility patches, etc. there are a few key requirements for using multiple race or class mods at once, such as community library, compatibilty framework, and patches for cc.

all that being said, here's what i'm having fun playing with!

RACES: astralities' tieflings / aasimar / goblins / dhampir

CLASSES: cleric subclasses / harlequin / syrchalis' druid mods / drakewarden ranger subclass / blood wizard subclass / college of spirits bard subclass / arcane archer fighter subclass

LEVELING: unlock level curve

UI/QoL: improved ui / better hotbar 2 / better containers / better party panels / better maps / better dyeing / better widgets / better hints / better inventory / better trade menu / faster rolls / no intro / no press any key menu / WASD movement / camera tweaks

WEAPONS/ACC: orochigago's weapons and wonders / shivero's legendary equipment / elven weaponry shortbows, longbows, blades, wands / eldertide armaments / bags bags bags reforged

SPELLS: 5e spells / syrchalis' rebalance series (i pick and choose) / chromatic spells

FEATS: plus feats / feats extra / rebalance feats

FX: vlad's grimoire / shivero vfx library

CHEATS: faerun utility / unlimited dyeing / ultimate cheat spells / no insp cap / tutorial exit / carry weight extra

reminding you once again to seek out compatibility patches, read mod descriptions, and be mindful of your load order.

Attention all BG3 enjoyers!

Would you guys be interested in having access to the Digital Deluxe content (the concept art book pdf and Origin character sheets)? I have them all in a Google Drive and have been sharing them with my friends, so I thought it'd be neat to just share it more to anyone who's interested! 🙂

Additionally, here's a huge resource of Raphael footage that I've recorded and compiled:
