After so many PT's I try to do some new things, and so I started a Gale origin run and decided that I'd pay some attention to Wyll for a change. I usually left him in camp and avoided him as I didn't find him very interesting, a bit irritating even. (Enlisting him mainly to have Mizora joining in the story) But now the time had come to see if he could surprise us. There was one surprise, but I think there's something wrong with it. Out-of-character IMO.
That character always seemed weird to me. Supposedly he's already the famous "Blade of the Frontiers", except he's a level 1 chump like everyone else. Karlach isn't far behind as some great, long, long-experienced fighter from Avernus (hell, was such long before she got her engine). Shadowheart, too, who the heck
sends a noob on a vital strike force?
Lae'zel, ok, maybe she jut got out of Githyanki fightin' school. Surely her arrogancy is one that that demands roundtable attitude from her kin way up the totem pole, seemingly relying on unearned respect.
Gale, Jeebus H. Christo. About as far from a level 1 noob as you can possibly get. RP-wise, he would have been literally a good candidate for the game Demigod, where
you start the game where other games usually finish, as a massive, tricked-out character with loads of high-power equipment and spells and whatnot.
(It's PvP only, sadly, and has no PvE mode, just a couple of AI demo maps. What a colossal waste it was, flopping miserably. I think they ran out of money to develop PvE, so shoveled it out the door.)
Some of the characters were a giant walking building with two rook turrets for shoulders, a giant man named Regulus with a monster crossbow, and The Fairy Queen, akin to literally the boss of an entire D&D module. "Guy who was peer to his buddy Elminster and made love to the goddess of magic and was no stranger to poking into forbidden stuff (besides that!)" would fit right in.
