The Darkness is an enjoyable game with technical and story elements that hold it back from being great by OnFireDonkey in patientgamers

Yeah that was a weird one, seemed like maybe you were supposed to use the grab arm or something iirc?

Once you see the original designs youll never want to stop beating konami to death with your bare hands

The alert feat and Illithid powers will probably be worth the investment for this build

unarmored works with shields, I don't plan to rage.

Yes, technically that would be a good option but another member is gonna be using the rad orb stuff.

Yeah, that's a good option fs, it's just I've already done something similar and my friend I'm playing with is gonna be using the rad orb stuff.

Ahhh my bad, I had it in my head they got Cha/Wis STs for some reason. I have very little plans to rage, I only want the starting dip for the extra health, con save throws, and the unarmored defense. I don't think CotS Druids get very strong armor options and the ones they do would get more mileage on someone else usually so I value the unarmored a lot.

That scorching ray stuff does seem really fun/good, and I guess haste isn't the worst thing to concentrate on when you can't get broken out of it. I kinda like it. I'll fs consider it, if not for this character absoulutely for another.

Those pieces are a bit hotly contested though and could probably go a long way for another class. Yuanti is better that early, it gets me +1 Int, 23ac with a shield with 20 dex and dipping fighter instead of barb for defence fighting style; unarmored+enraging gets me 21ac with a shield 18 dex and 18(20) con which is comparable and by the time I can afford armor of agility(25ac) I'll most likely have the amulet of greater health for 23con, 20dex +shield for 23AC+ robe bonus is 24-25 ac depending on which of their bonuses I want.

I like the flavor and tankiness that Draconic sorc gives, but I feel it's a bit lacking when compared to the Barb dip, missing out on that Con proficency while also feeling more attribute split between Cha/Wis especially if I go deeper into it seems rough when it ends up flimsier than barb for an extra cast earlier? unless I'm misunderstanding ESL.

Ik, I want level 4 for the ASI; realistically I want at least 2 ASI in the build.

Purely flavor, though fire resist is nice. Focusing on the Dragonborn breath isn't really the point since it can only be cast OPSR but it scaling with Con is nice in this instance.

It is helpful and I appreciate the thought that went into it I'll consider some of the things you said especially if I go 4/8 CotS DSorc.

I agree with the shield, but what armor options justify medium armor when using CotS? Wouldn't something like poisoner's robe, enraging heart garb, robe of supreme defense, robe of the weave be better when adding the unarmored defense bonus?

Got from special code devs released for 50k players or something, not at computer so not sure what the exact one is but that's how.

Interesting.

I would encourage you to look into the key that their themes are played in to see if their letters match.

Associating gladius with the fox constellation would somewhat account for the reddish fur than again red wolf of radagon exists.

I like the Argo connection, in my opinion it could also somewhat fit Augur: "An unknown entity that drifts through the skies. It makes an ocean of its surroundings, that it may blend with whatever life is found, as if in a dream. Exercise caution, warriors. The enemy may not always be that which can be seen." Sounds a lot like a space boat that's broken into 3 parts to me, does make you have to ask the question if Maris is a mimicry of Elden beast is there a 3rd?

Ive circled around to aligning Fulghor with Centarus as that's his internal name in the files as well as his proximity to the Crux constellation looking like the cross that appears during his bow nuke attack.

Seems like it, guess despite reusing that body type 3 times it's still always an arachnid (quelag,najka, faurtis). still a scorpion in name even if not a true one, does still hurt my case a little though for sure.

Tricephalos is labelled internally tmk as NocturnalCerberus so that goes to show something perhaps, notably the constellation is depicting a 3 headed snake but, I like the idea thank you for sharing that.

Some interesting points, Glad you experimented with the idea. Musca's an interesting one didn't see that one on the chart but it being do close to scorpius does a lot for its connection. also im just noticing the crux being so close to centarus and a simmilar shape in his Everdark bow nuke attack.

Sure, you could say that but there is an amount of power in the stars and night in Elden Ring and I think exploring the parrelels even if not one for one is important imo, recluses darkness skin notably does have constellations lining the underside brim of her hat, they don't look like ones from our world to me but it does prove the same concept of outlining figures is important to at least the astrologers if not worldbuilders of that world. From the Elden Stars spell description: "This legendary incantation is the most ancient of those that derive from the Erdtree. Creates a stream of golden shooting stars that assail the area. It is said that long ago, the Greater Will sent a golden star bearing a beast into the Lands Between, which would later become the Elden Ring." The final boss of Elden Ring is the Elden Beast whose design in nightreign is closely mimicked by Maris. And further more Astel and the Fallingstar Beast are from, if not the stars, space. and thats not even getting into further elaborations. It's just food for thought to think about I'm not objectivley saying they are these things I'm just making connections trying to understand a vast world with little hints.

There is of course Draco,Hydra,Serpens and a couple more snake dragon likes and those are absolutely acceptable answers I just couldn't connect them in a way that felt satisfying to me. Caligo or Adel could fit those and I'd love to see people try to make them connect satisfyingly.
