“رقص آزادی چندین بار ثانیه به ثانیه‌ی حرف‌های پر از بغض و در عین حال شوق این جوون رو گوش کنید 'برای مهسا، برای نیکا، برای یلدا، برای کیان … یا آزادی یا مرگ' سر تعظیم 🖤 #مهسا_امینی”

The Revolution Burns on  "For Mehsa, for Nika, for Yalda, for Kian... either freedom or death"

I am proud to see the power of the people bringing down a corrupt and atrocious regime.

The Revolution in Iran against the Khameini Regime’s atrocities deserves to be witnessed as much as that of Ukraine’s Defensive War against Russian Imperialism. Watch it through.

Will Gale be able to Vamp on Sorcerers?

I've been watching a few BG3 Tag videos (Tags being the character tags within Conversations) and it's gotten me thinking.

When we meet Gale, we are given different options of dialogue based on our classes. When one plays a Wizard, if you answer that you are in fact a Wizard he mentions a breeze of the Weave, but that he needs a Tempest.

What if a Sorcerer fulfills that need for a Tempest, and perhaps Gale might have an option to Vamp off your innate Font of Magic.

Quick Visual Aid and Guide to the Big Stick Rogue in BG3

Heyo all! As I am a huge MinMaxer in D&D I like to theorycraft builds. Since learning about the Minotaur's Greatclub being acquirable and having 2d12 Damage attached to it, and my subsequent learning of the Rogue's ability to Sneak Attack without Finesse weapons, I have decided to test the combination in what I may call the Teddy Roosevelt Rogue. In EA I would recommend either Shield Dwarf or Githyanki, for Medium Armour access and Weapon Opportunities. Step 1 and 2 can be undertaken in either Order, but I'll list them as I did them.

Step 1: Kill the Minotaurs near the Myconid Colony, under the Phase Spider Matriarch's lair under the Blighted Village.

Step 2: Talk to the Myconids, get Glut to squad up with ya. Ideally you'll be able to wait to Long Rest until after Step 3.

Step 3: Bring Glut to the Minotaurs, use their Animate Corpse ability on the Minotaur with the Giant Tree Greatclub (the hard-hitting one). Glut will require you to Long Rest before it will be raised.

Step 4: While controlling the Minotaur, use their Throw ability to yeet their Club on the ground.

Step 5: Congratulations, you have the Slam, and I welcome you to the Jam. You're now fully equipped to speak softly and carry the biggest stick.

For Visual Aid, see Below, Glut, the Minotaur, and Ulfric very happily holding his favorite stick.

Personally I'm hoping War Cleric gets a small translation in features when it arrives in BG3, if it just gives the Cleric a Bonus Action Attack Once per Turn (or just provides Attacks as Bonus Actions) and there is Multiclassing, we're looking at 1 War Cleric/9 Thief Rogue as the GOAT. My Half-Orc Cleric-Thief of Shargaas is ready to exist.

Has Anyone Else Noticed

That Shadowheart, despite having a 9 in Dex, has proficiency in both Stealth and Sleight of Hand, yet doesn't in-character know how to pick the locked door? Neither of these skills can be acquired as a Cleric, but you know what background does grant those?

Yep. Urchin. Methinks our girl was a homeless orphan taken in by the Sharans and indoctrinated. Calling it now.
