Like Draconic is obviously Spanish. All the draconic speaking races are constantly arguing about what version of draconic is better but they all agree dragon draconic is the worst

So we all know “common” is just fantasy English, but what are the other DnD languages irl counterparts?

Couldn't help myself so here's a very rough sketch of how a fight with @meanbossart 's Du Drow and Ather would go

[j-m-apollo]

I’m sorry I couldn’t resist

This is how that went, right?

AAAAAAHHAHAHA Yes

absolutely positively 1000000 percent. He loves powerful ladies, might as well pursue one that, even though doesn't understand what he's talking about sometimes, will actually treat him well

I want to redraw this meme LOL THANK YOU

I’ve noticed something that I can’t keep quiet about in this fandom. And it’s that THERE IS NO ASTARION/GORTASH CONTENT!!!! LIKE YOUR GOING TO LOOK AT THEESE TWO AND THERE NARRATIVE PARALLELS AND YOUR GOING TO TELL ME THEY AREN’T A MATCH MADE IN HEVAN! Also ascendant Astarion and Gortash would 100% be a thing, either they were together before and Gortash encouraged him to ascend or they get together after either way would work.

here he his my boy Ather

Did Drow ever have a childhood before the temple or was he raised in it? If he did does he remember it? Sorry if these are silly questions I want to make something and I want it to be accurate.

(Heads up for A Novel Experience readers - these are technically spoilers as well as character lore, so, if you wanna stay totally blind to later developments, just don't read past the cut-off.)

Not a silly question at all! He would have found the temple only by age 18 (does that number mean anything to Bhaal/ the drow race? Probably not. Does it help me sleep better at night that he was at least of legal drinking age by the time he got introduced to his murder heritage? Yes It does). He doesn't really remember anything from his childhood other than that he was raised in the Underdark for a time, knows some basics about the culture and harbors a deep hatred of drow women and general dislike of drows. He knows he came to the surface quite young and spent over half his life above-ground, and honed his survival skills during that time, hence why he doesn't have any sun-sensitivity.

As for the details of his up-bringing, he was found somewhere in the wilds of the Underdark as an infant by a couple of slaves who took pity on him, then brought into a family where he was adopted by a matron and her consort who' d just lost their first-born son. Obviously, drows aren't known for their benevolence, but they found there to be something prophetic about this baby that had somehow stayed alive in spite of the Underdark's unforgiving nature, so they decide to keep him as a kind of marvel/curiosity, figuring if he didn't amount to much they could just sacrifice him to Lolth later.

Within the family he was pretty much left to his own devices, with the matron taking a lot of entertainment out of his weirdly feral behavior. He would just eat vermin and bats if she didn't bother feeding him, fended for himself and just showed a lot of strength for a child, not to mention that he never asked for anything or complained about the hand he was dealt. At some point he killed another family's son that picked on him, and, naturally, his foster mom loved that, lol.

ALAS, he killed her and her consort when he was about 10-13 years old, and then just left. Scleritas would have appeared to him around that time and led the way to Baldur's Gate, while providing him with some basic aid and pointers to survive, though mostly just observing to see if he could prove himself worthy of his heritage by staying alive. He spent years living in the woods and city-streets he passed through, getting sustenance from eating game he hunted, food he stole, and, sometimes, people he killed. Probably fell under the care of a couple of unfortunate souls along the way who likely met a gruesome end, and finally arrived at the temple as a young adult where he lavished in his newly found status.

Aaaaahhhh!!!!! Thank you for answering! When I saw your account I couldn’t get over how our drow durges are total opposites. Drow is tall and bulky while Ather is short and thin. Drow doesn’t care about his appearance too much and Ather uses his time after meditation to do a full skin care routine. Drow has more hyper-sexual [think that’s the right term] and Ather is disgusted by sex, only using it as a means to get something else [usually to get a sacrifice to the temple or to bag a pretty elf boyfriend].

Seeing how much more different they are in backstory is a whole new level of surreal. Ather was raised in the gate by his mother who taught him to control his urges. He joined the temple at 13 when an incident where he couldn’t control himself lead him to killing his mother. And with no one left Bhaal sent someone [probably sceleritas fel] to bring him to the temple where he spent the next 200 years until the worm.

I’ll probably drop a picture of him when I get home

I had this idea and had to share with everyone

So a new card game that is almost identical to magic the gathering but mix it with Russian Roulette
