    Gnome is actually pronounced "noom."

    If you think "noom" every time you see "gnome," then you'll notice it sounds a lot better.

    The concept of bestiality doesn't exist in FR. You can shag a dragon and get away with it.

    Unsettling.

    The entire plot is based on a huge misunderstanding! A flock of crows is called a "murder" in English. Therefore whoever succeeds Bhaal as the "lord of murder" just becomes the leader of a bunch of birds.

    It's all a conspiracy of ravens! And that's a heck of a lot of ravens!

    Is that bestiality? I mean, dragons can go into human/elven/whatever form. They can communicate. They can give consent. Making sweet sweet love to a dragon doesn't seem all that different from bonking an orc.

    I'd say that bestality in the FR happens when the creature isn't sentient enough to give consent to the action. Otherwise, all you're doing is creating an overpowered racial type for PC characters.

    Since when is beastiality about giving consent? Humans shagging animals doesn't stop being beastiality just because the animal is into it.

    That's one hell of an unkindness!

    If banging dragons isn't bestiality, what's the point?

    I know my claim seems deranged but think about it; IWD2 is basically designed around half-breeds. Sherincal and all that shit.

    I guess everyone silently agrees to use shapeshifting, charisma or helplessness spells :wink:

    It sure is, but for the dragon, not the human. Since dragons are more intelligent, powerful and arrogant, we are effectively like some kind of talking barnyard animal to them.

    Animals are not considered able to give consent in the legal sense. They may enjoy or not, but that is not the same as giving consent. They are not legally competent to give consent, because their wisdom score is too low, just like minors and gnomes.

    The reason why we have shadow Druids is because that argument didn't hold up in court. The Druid in question swore vengeance against all civilization.

    Bah, that was just a kangaroo court. It would have held better in one filled with orcs.

    Funny you should say that. The Druid claimed that a lack of kangaroos meant that the jury wasn't one of his peers. Again, the court didn't buy his argument.

    If you name your berseker PC Hulk and you choose green as skin color at the creation every time he enrages he get 25 CON and STR and a magical +5 fist weapon, that can not be removed and passed to others, dealing 10d10 +10 DMG on hit.
    But there is a side effect, the 10% chance that his armor is destroyed at the very moment he enrages.

    If your thief or bard PC have 18 natural carisma and the Blood of the Elder Orb, the Blood of the Master Brain and the Blood of the Kuo-Toa Prince the first time you meet Adalon you can give the items to the dragon, She needs them to exchange them with her egg.
    You loose all the Ust Natha Xp and loot, because Adalon doesn't turn yourself into Veldrin and teleports you at the exit of the Underdark, but each party member gets 500K Xp and she gives you a powerful item:

    Dragon's Gauntlets
    +2 Thaco
    +2 AC
    +2 APR
    +100 pickpocket
    usable only by rogues.

    Did you actually know that if you have a mage Charname and don't take Edwin in the party you can shapeshift in Mind Flyer and kill him draining all his intelligence. Then you have to rest while you are still shapeshifted. Doing this Charname's INT becomes PERMANENTLY equal to Edwin's INT.

    That is 0, since you just sucked everything there was in his brain :smiley:

    Detect Alignment is the reason using Slayer form decreases your reputation.
