Really? Beholder bard? I get that it's strong, but what's the point if you literally cannot RP the character at all? May as well just play an MMORPG instead if you're only interested in grinding. |

It is an unconventional race/class combo for roleplay, to be sure, but it's not as though it's impossible to do. Not every bard is wrapped up in playing instruments. |

Nah, it's pretty unavoidably ridiculous considering just what Beholders are. But to each their own. |

Yes, hence the " :lol: " emoticons. The entertaining part would be how ridiculous it'd be. |

Remember that you don't need to match class flavor perfectly. Bard flavor could be something more like a Marshal / Sorcerer combo. A beholder diplomat, maybe, or such. It fits what the person asking wanted (CHA based, beholder, caster), if they are not satisfied then they can ask for something else. |

That's equally, if not more, ridiculous than a beholder bard, heh. That's the issue with some monster races. |

Your doubt is only making it more appealing. Of course, it feels natural to me that "the bard class" means a quite different thing in character for your non-regular humanoid type characters. And also I don't feel like "ridiculous" is synonymous with "out of character/non-rp" like I think is the implication here??? |

What is wrong with a beholder bard? A beholder who gets other peopl to do the fighting for him? Maybe his sway over magic isn't as powerful as some others of his kind. But I would totally play it as a lazy manipulative beholder. Those bonuses arent "songs" they are commands. He has simply learned that wimpy humanoids work best for you when you order them to nicely. |

@the BG discussion Was mostly thinking what to do with the 1 level dip. Cleric fits, 2 free feats not available to the class? Yes please. The 2 rogue level idea is perhaps more appealing in an RP sense, but we're not here for RP! That much was decided in the topic title. Unless people are asking for RP builds. Besides, Shadow said to pour on the cheese I'm unsure what I'll do with the remaining... 7 levels. Will get round to it tomorrow I reckon as internet should be more gud. @Beholder Bard Sigil has enough Fourth Rules walking around, I doubt a stand up comedian Beholder is going to ruin it all now (Oh wait, that one's been done before already!)Roll Beholder what have you. Ask and ye shall receive ![]() @thread in general I'll be sorting out what's left build wise tomorrow. I still need an answer on the Sacred Fist abilities affecting creature weapons, but it'll be a good experiment if nobody knows. Whilst I as an EM do not support non-sensical RP, there's no reason why people can't roll alt characters as sort of 'RP-lite' munchkins, enjoying the server content and perhaps testing out new builds and classes. That's more what this is for, as well as helping out players who aren't great with the NWN2 classes or new server mechanics and giving them builds that aren't going to fall over in a stiff breeze. Nobody likes playing a useless character after all, even if the RP on them is impeccable (unless of course you're trying to play a useless character but to each their own). Keep them coming guys

Sure. I just found it odd to sell it as anything other than RP-lite. A singing beholder is silly, and unlikely to ever be taken seriously outside of his ability to invisibly stand next to enemies and kill them with Requiem. |

Most classes I see treating as more of a base to work with than something character defining. All rogues certainly aren't thieves. A bard is as often just a lorekeeper as they are an arcane caster or a minstrel, or any mix of those sorts of things. Spellcasting, and by extension magic, usually involves a verbal component; that's where I see the tangible effects of something like a bard's song coming from. A beholder bard, IMO, would not tend towards creating those magical effects out of 'songs', but would draw similar effects from arcane or eldritch incantations; think of them as booming out some Cthulhu speech to warp reality around themselves. |

I've been having this idea kicking around in my head for awhile, but I can't seem to make it viable, so I was wondering if perhaps you could make something of it. I'd like to do a half-dragon soulknife, ideally of a gem dragon heritage for flavor. Base race isn't quite as important, though something that doesn't stray too far out there as far as inherent ECL would be cool. |
