I love seeing everyone post screenshots of Astarion where he's wearing the drow armor in dark colors and then going to my own game where he's wearing the bard tunic in white. we are having fundamentally different experiences of this character

#i will be pushing the bard astarion agenda #the biggest reason to have a rogue in your party is to pick locks but there's no reason you can't have the bard do it #bards get expertise too. give it to him in sleight of hand #and voila. you got yourself a lockpicker #make him a swords bard too. so you still get that sweet sweet combat #the bard tunic that you get from volo gives you temp hp whenever you inspire someone #which is really good #at level 5 you get bardic back on a short rest which makes it stronger #at a Certain Point there is pretty easy to get loot which is a pair of boots that lets you restore bardic as an action #there are so many good bard items and if you don't have a bard in your party they go to waste #and astarion is such a good bard. listen to me.#(i do still give him a couple rogue levels but i udnerstand that's nto possible on story mode for whatever reason)#this has been a post #of course. if your pc is a bard then there's no need for all this #i made him a bard coz my pc's a rogue and they were filling the same niche except story did it better so i never took him out of camp #now whenever there's a tpk (not often but there was one fight i had to do like five times) astarion's always the last one standing #survivability #ash plays bg3
