This is taking much longer to deal with than I thought due to these, ah, perplexing results. I really need to get to work on my schoolwork. Please help me out by suggesting god powers for those three, I really can't think of any that would apply to the current roster and still be balanced. I am going to go and finish my project, which is due tomorrow. When I get back, maybe I will be able to post the results, if this block on my mind is gone.
Viconia GP: For SHAR! +2 to Baeloth her drow ally Edwin GP: I cant think up a name but +2 to xzar his fellow evil mage Imoen GP: Deny her true heritage: -2 to Bhaal Accept her true heritage: +2 to Bhaal
Also dont spoil the black pits for yourself. Just know that Baeloth is an evil drow mage who is very charismatic but quick to anger. He rellies heavily on support from his djjin (I cant spell, sorry) who doesnt like him but has to obey.
Victonia GP: Foolish jaluk!: -1 to all male characters Edwin GP: Give ME 2000 years and a pointy hat and I'll kick his arse!: -2 to all magic users. Imoen GP: Deny her true heritage: -2 to Bhaal Accept her true heritage: +2 to Bhaal (Yeah same as Xiviriel's, think that a good idea for Immy)
OKAY! That's just about enough stalling out of me, huh? I'd best get my act together instead of holding this up and sulking and shit! Being the resident killjoy is Xan's job! ...Or was, because he's dead now, but I'm sure you all totes get the idea.
...
*cough*
TURN UNDEAD.
...Um.
Where was I?
Oh yeah.
ROUND 20!
HAER'DALIS makes his own contribution to increasing overall entropy by kicking the bucket!
BAELOTH THE ENTERTAINER steps into the arena, and this time, he's totes a combatant! The crowd goes wild!
1. 1 HEAL, 1 HURT: You only get one heal and one hurt this round. I've noticed some crazy imbalance going on since there are fewer combatants now, we're going to try cutting back to see if that rebalances the game. Just to see which works better. We may go back to the 2 heals 2 hurts if it doesnt work out.
2. RESURRECT: The death toll has reached 20, so it's time for another Resurrect round! Since during the lategame it is more crucial for characters to be added at specifically scheduled times to make sure the game lasts as long as it should, one character WILL be resurrected this round. 'None' is no longer a valid vote for Add or Resurrect, since I need a certain number of characters to work with until the final showdown. Speaking of which, Add rounds will now take place during any round of a number divisible by four.
3. ADD: One character will be added this round.
4. GOD POWERS:
IMOEN'S GOD POWERS:
1. INNOCENCE: -2 to Bhaal
2. EMBRACING THE TAINT: +2 to Bhaal
VICONIA'S GOD POWERS:
1. SHAR GUIDES MY HAND: -1 to Tiax and Bhaal
2. DAMN THOSE DARTHIIR, PART DEUX: -1 vote to resurrect either Xan, Kivan, or Aerie in the next Resurrect round after this one. Which one it is will be decided by a virtual d3 roll using the online D&D dice roller. If the one rolled is resurrected this round, he or she will be resurrected with 8 HP instead of 10 and then a coin flip will be used to determine the individual the -1 will go to.
EDWIN'S GOD POWERS:
1. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS 'MOUSE MAGIC': Upon seeing Boo's vote magically appear this round, Edwin will take precautions to ensure this travesty does not happen again. -1 vote to resurrect Minsc next Resurrect round after this one. If Minsc is resurrected this round and this god power is chosen, then he will resurrect, but at 8 HP instead of 10.
2. MAGICAL RIVALS: -1 to all other arcane spellcasters.
HEAL: Bhaal HURT: Jan Jansen RESURRECT: Elminster (would pick Anomen, but looking through this topic I must be one of 3 people on the forum who actually likes him -_-) ADD: Keldorn GP (Imoen): Embracing the Taint GP (Viconia): Can't remember what the rules say about voting for none, hopefully it is allowed. GP (Edwin): Magical Rivals
Aww, but he's just a confused young man who totes has the potential to be better. Besides, he's also great to keep around because it's hilarious when the others make fun of him. Remember Jan's tale about "Ano the Orc"?
Also, as much as I insult the guy, Anomen is actually p. adorable once you get used to him.
*Smacks hand* NO! BAD! we do NOT call sexist pigs adorable.
Haha, I do like the guy...just later on in his character development. His lines in ToB especially. It's just getting to that point that makes me want to send him naked to fight Firkraag while my char eats popcorn. I don't know what the original devs were thinking if they thought having to babysit a guy is at all attractive -_- That and having to forgive him for yelling at you, what, every other conversation?
@LadyEibhilinRhett He's amazing in a party if you have him specced to use the FoA or Crom Faeyr. I usually ran with him and Keldorn in my party...Crom/FoA + Carsomyr is pretty much easy mode.
Aww, but he's just a confused young man who totes has the potential to be better. Besides, I never saw him being sexist. .-c. then again, I did not have him on my party for all that long.
You would have to try the romance with him to see just how much of a "chivalrous" (Read condescending chauvinistic jackass) I mean, I understand fairy-tale "Knight in shining armor" bullshit, but you literally cannot continue the romance without putting up with it and kissing his ass.

You're actually comparing him to a knight in shining armor? O_o Err....I guess the stories don't tell you the knights are PMSing 24/7.
I also love how once he sleeps with your char in SoA he never talks to you again in the vanilla game. I never played the elven trio romances, but I heard all of them have at least a line or two afterwards. I guess guys really are after only one thing

Um. I changed the post. Because I remembered the playthrough where I romanced him.
I just sort of want to pat him on the head and go okay that's nice shut up now all right?
Now let me be your babysitter. This is a Bioware romance, so it's totes in the job description.
@LadyEibhilinRhett Garrus didn't need babysitting! But then he was only added as an option because of fan request...so does that count as a Bioware romance?
But apart from him, the romance options for straight women are all so nauseatingly needy. Why do the men get all the good choices? -_- Or are theirs just as bad?

<.<; Aerie is pretty damn needy. Jaheira is jaheira. I never do evil parties so i never tried Viconia's

that's because he's Garrus. Garrus is awesome.
Also, if you are doubting the guys get bad choices? Two words: Aerie romance.
I know about it because in one of my playthroughs a temporary gender change wild surge triggered it and she kept trying to romance my female bhaalspawn even after the change wore off. No. Just, no.

Oooh yeah, forgot about that one. Her only saving grace is that you're not stuck with her as the only option in the vanilla game.
Then guys also get Anders and Fenris, so I feel a little bad for them :P
@aramina The viconia romance is pretty bad too. She is just so mean and bossy, although I guess some guys are into that.... Its kinda like the Shar-Teal romance in BG 1 NPC project.
The Viconia romance is awesome once you get to ToB. I won't spoil it, but from what I remember it is the only romance that actually feels fun. Jaheira is just too mopey, Aerie and Anomen need babysitters.
Also, @LadyEibhilinRhett thank you for saying totes so much, it makes me feel like my everyday vocabulary isn't foreign to the universe
