Sis: Go make your dnd character in Baldur's Gate or something.

Me: The harengon, or the tiefling? or my retired aarakocra?

Sis: Tiefling, dumbass. I want to see what you can do with that.

Me: I'm not going to make a new character just to roleplay a character I can't do correctly. My only bard- who happens to be a tiefling- is the dark urge, which is far darker than Medli is actually is, no matter the airs she puts on. Also, Med's perma blind. Can't do that to my BG3 character.

Sis: Not without mods, you can't. Bet you someone's already come out for something like that.

Me: Get me the mods required and I'll do the damn thing, bitch. I'll even romance and ascend the damn vampire for you.

#text #dnd story #tag story #so a bit about that aarakocra. It was hilarious.#it was an acquisitions incorporated inspired campaign that got canceled because life got in the way for everyone #but my little Errk was the cartographer of the group #and a rouge who would often attack enemies from the air with her bow #(aarakocra can fly all day and night if they have the right kind of altitude since their wings can lock in place and they can glide)#(something about air currents and being extremely light and whatnot)#but- and this is important #being the cartographer meant that Errk also had to deal with transportation vehicles.#the bird with almost limitless flight had to buy and manage transportation for everyone else!#(150ft flight speed in a single turn with dash action + cunning action bonus dash)#(and being so high above everyone meant that enemies had disadvantage on hitting them as they was usually out of attack range.)#ALSO #Errk's talons also did a 1d4-1 damage to enemies #so occasionally they would end up getting a nat 20 with a whopping 0 critical damage #just imagine getting bitch slapped by a bird with talons and then realizing that... nothing happened.#no pain #no discomfort beyond being tied up and glowered down at by a bird-person #who happened to have body-chucked you into a tree via high speed race through a forest #and they just slapped you for 0 damage #and probably just broke a point on said talons because their strength stat was an 8 (-1).#(would have been so much better if their strength was a -2 modifier. Errk roulette! Will you take damage or none or get healed 1 hit point?#lords help you if you saw them with their bow though #because a +8 to initiative and a +5 to hit meant that they usually were hitting things right off the bat #and being however odd feet in the air above meant they could just let gravity to most of the work with their range #did occasionally suffer a penalty for that kind of attack but the DM did allow Errk to bypass the normal bow range that way #and their alert feat meant that they weren't ever caught off guard even if they weren't focusing on whats around them #FUN FACT! Errk is only 5.
