Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition

[Nepenthe]

 

 

So in FR canon the Bhaalspawn who managed to defeat a demi-goddess, a supermage, Kangaxx, dragons, mindflayers, beholders, and a ****load of other powerful creatures was a 4th level fighter?

 

Eiter 4th level in 5e is insane or the fellows in charge of the lore have done a **** job.

They just assumed everyone just Ctrl+Y'd their way through the whole trilogy. Or maybe this is in revenge for players chunking Drizzt at every opportunity.

 

 

 

The protagonist becoming the Slayer through knowing himself is in my opinion the weakest part of the above argument, i'd also think the Slayer would manifest when the human element was removed, a la Imoen's soulless state.

Imoen herself suggests this is because the Bhaal essence is simply more concentrated in charname than in her. This is later confirmed by Yaga-Shura in ToB—unsurprisingly, charname has more Bhaal essence than anyone!!1

 

Regardless, WotC have determined that, to mark their release of 5th ed., the guy who fought Melissan for the right to ascend to godhood and won is just a level 4 fighter. Take that, BG fans!

And that's not even the worst part, tbh. I thought charname becoming a duke of Baldur's Gate and the marshall of Flaming Fist was pretty cool, though.

Yeah, I actually liked the concept for the first act, with the the attack on the crowd and the result of the assassination attempt being largely irrelevant to what ends up happening. And it's kinda clever that they dug up Viekang. But given the absurd power levels of famous people in the FR setting, it's weird that they chose this particular bit of lore to create an entry-level adventure.

Well, low level is built into the format of the modules. Otoh, the modules themselves dont't include stats, so you could run it at a higher level, too.

...my lord...that is a lot worse sounding than I expected.

 

But totally plausible as to how a player would react if that situation had presented itself in-game. In a way I'm impressed.

People would want to try and romance Bodhi?  What part decaying, undead vampire lord of a guild of vampire murderers who are abducting normal people and turning them into vampires says fun times to you? Silly promancers...

Ehm, yeah, no thanks...

[Volourn]

She's hot.

[Endrosz]

She's cold, because she's an undead.

[Nonek]

She's Slayer snacks.
