#i would need to revisit how merle got parlay tho cos i think that would shift

[elftwink]

i have been thinking about this taz class swap all fuckin day so here’s some shit i was Thinking About instead of taking my notes in lecture today

magnus takes up magic after raven’s roost; instead of taking up fighting he turns his focus towards magic as a possible alternative/different way of accomplishing the same thing and gets into adventuring that way )also that lets him have pretty much the same backstory which is cool)

i looked at wizard traditions/schools/whatever and the unearthed arcana’s school of invention seems thematically appropriate and also grants “reckless casting” at second level which is when you cast a spell you havent prepared which sounds like magnus “rushes in” burnsides to me

merle would probably be a protection fighter as well, and then at higher levels i’d give him the scout specialization, which allows him to retain sort of nature based abilities, kind of? although they’d closer to ranger in practice but WHATEVER

i think it could be interesting to say his family still follows pan, but he abandoned it to go adventuring and whatnot and then became a fighter, although im at loathe to say Thats That wrt to his narrative because it is an arc about faith so it would b interesting to rework that so it remains in the narrative even tho i dont have any specific ideas lmao

this one definitely doesn’t make sense with current backstory but taako as a light domain cleric... we love some dumb thematic bullshit. or actually city domain, which is a new unearthed arcana one, partly because it incorporates electronics which would fit with taz since as we all know, it’s not REALLY high fantasy in the way traditional dnd is, and also partly because it would give taako vehicle proficiency which is so incredibly funny to me lmao

taako’s memory of WHEN he started following his god and why exactly are more than a little fuzzy, especially since its seems out of character for him to lean on anyone, even a god, for help, but he appreciates the company, sort of, even if it’s sometimes one way conversation
