Astarion

Yeah.

The archetype that I'd never play, but I started messing around with on some Baldur's Gate with an Astarian build is like the Gloomstalker assassin build, which is pretty fucking tight.

What does that do? I mean, it's just, you get to basically, you, you, you attack, you get to attack like seven times, like on, like out of, like you, you get like a surprise attack.

You get to attack with initiative.

So this is...

I don't even know what website this is from, but the article's title says, Astarion book author says, Wizards of the Coast wanted the Gur removed, which has huge implications for his backstory.

Astarion is one of the main characters from Baldur's Gate 3, a wildly successful...

Dungeons & Dragons video game that came out a couple years ago.

And Wizards of the Coast, the owners of the Dungeons & Dragons property, they didn't develop the game, but I'm sure they had a lot of control since it's licensed by them.

I'm just going to read this real quick.

The article says, You've heard about judging a book by its cover, but I now introduce you to the concept of judging a book by Reddit leaks that may or not be true.

Baldur's Gate 3, Astarion... by T. Kingfisher isn't out until October, but early copies have gotten into the hands of some readers, meaning spoilers are being shared everywhere, as well as some quote-unquote spoilers that may just have been fabricated.

that has influenced.

Like Astarion.

He's prissy.

I love Astarion.

Someone in the crowd will know.

Someone in the chat, in the listeners, they will understand.

Now, breaking news.

Now, we know from Baldur's Gate 3, the character of Astarion, which is a popular, the vampire character, basically.

So, Look, I'm not an expert on this character because I didn't have him in my party.

I kind of found him annoying, to be honest.

I play a lot of, like, these egotistical characters.

I play a lot of villains, um, in, like, plays and stuff, and that kinda transferred over to being a D&D character where, you know, I play, like, the Astarian type, uh, without going too overboard.

Or I'll play, you know, like, the, the HR dude bro.

71 to 80, I'm convinced that all, that powerful enemies are hunting me, and their agents are everywhere I go.

Uh, it is mostly online.

They do have, like, where you can, um, bring, like, Astarion is, like, the most recent one where they had a whole book where you can bring him into your, like, D&D campaign.

But, um, it is mostly, like, a video game, like, on PC, Xbox, PlayStation.

Okay.
