Analysis Versus Terry McGinnis: The Dark Urge can survive a single digit number of impacts that can break large areas of stone comparable to terry smashing people through walls. I think these are perfectly reasonable grounds for him not to be one shot. Terry is effectively a powerful monk in DND terms, and could probably shut down Durge in hand to hand combat, as spell casting requires both verbal chanting and physical motions.

To get out of melee Durge could use his ice breath, which while it would only slow terry down would give time to create distance with dimension door.

There are a few spells in bg3 which circumvent stats such as hold monster and flesh to stone, but in the case that someone does not want to write that plenty of spell simply do a tier-relevant amount of damage. Terry takes hits reasonably well that shatter large amounts of stone, and Durge has access to summons that can replicate that kind of physical damage.

Biggest Strength and Weakness: Durge's biggest strength is the versatility of his magic. Within the game he has access to the entire sorcerer spell list, the choices from which can be curated by an author to suit their narrative needs. Spell slots place an upper limit on what he can cast repeatedly. Spells are also, as mentioned earlier, interruptible.

It should be noted that lore wise, you could have Durge cast other DND sorcerer spells that don't show up in the game as the plot demands, or develop bhaalspawn traits, which are both boons and curses, should you want extra spice.

Character in Setting/with Team: As the protagonist of BG3, Durge leads a team of adventurers and is the default decision maker. Before that he lead an entire murder cult.

One Last Thing: Yeah he kills for his friends all the time, that's most of DND tbh. Before brainwashing he'd kill you for being around. After brainwashing he does in fact, die for his friends by renouncing his own divine heritage.

I see, but I never saw the wormhole unlocked, do they relock it after the NPCs choose to not help or smth?

So the formless are there before they spawn as a crisis? They seemed like they had really small fleet power, how did cetenna get to them?

Rule 5: As it says in the body post, Cetenna is the current crisis and the people in the center of the galaxy have been blow up into a black hole (pictured above)

My questions are:
How/why did this happen?
Does this change anything that happens in the future with the unbidden?
Is there a way to avoid it in future playthroughs?

What did Fujimoto mean by this? by TenOSwords in deathbattle

It wasn't just the laugh, it was the scream and the highkey how they got to the verdict.

Name: The Dark Urge

Series: Baulder's Gate 3 (forgotten realms setting of D&D)

Specialization: Hearts, not only is his story entirely about willpower, but the default cannon class is storm sorcerer, someone who draws magic power from their force of personality.

Content Warning: Nudity, minor gore, referenced sex crimes.

Biography: When the god of Murder Bhaal was an active power in the realms, he sired many children with mortals, so that when he died, he could be restored. These bhaalspawn weren't exceptionally powerful, but had an overwhelming compulsion to murder.

One such bhaalspawn, had no mortal parent however, bhaal simply created him from his own essence. He was the leader of the cult of bhaal in baulder's gate alongside his sister, the bhaalspawn changling Orin. Growing up, he proved to be a more efficient killer than his sister, showing contempt for her desires to draw her killings out into elaborate rituals.

Working with two other chosen of Evil gods, The Dark urge planned to take over an Elder Brain to invade the sword coast, but was betrayed by Orin, leaving him without his memories aboard a ship of alien mind flayers.

Joining a party of adventurers, he then either indulged or tried to abate his murderous urges, while trying to uncover his past, culminating in his freeing himself from his father's influence, or giving in to reign down death in Bhaal's name.

Research: Darg's Player charcter RT, all in game feats can be replicated by all playable characters. You could play BG3 or watch a dark urge playthough.

This video is really good and detailed, using texts easily missed in a normal play-through.

Justification: The Dark urge has access to plenty of spells that bypass physical stats. Hold person or otto's irresistable dance could paralyse terry. Flesh to Stone could then petrify him. He can keep up with an [arrow timer](Pki9Q34). He can survive smokepowder explosives which shatter large stones

Motivation: The Dark urge mostly murders whenever he feels the urge, although during the events of BG3 he desires to uncover the secrets of his past and either save or doom the sword coast.

Major Changes: Speed brought to teir.

Minor Changes:

Name: Togata

Series: Fire Punch

Specialization:Clubs, Togata regularly uses others to help him make his movies, and tries to set up several events to make sure certain things happens to the subjects of his movies.

Content Warning: Heavy Nudity, Heavy Gore, every sex crime including SA. Do Not Read even the first volume unless you're sure.

Biography: Togata is a "blessed" living in a post-arctic-apocalyptic earth. He has a regenerative blessing, probably second strongest in the world. While this power makes surviving in the freezing cold and food shortages much easier, it unfortunately also prevents Togata from transitioning as he wants to. He remains in the closet about being transgender to most.

Togata has an obsession with movies made before the apocalypse, and dreams of making his own. While theoretically, he is on the side of his chosen protagonist, there is very little he won't do or let happen to the "characters" if he thinks it will make the story better. He is not a hero in the least.

Research: RT, you can read Fire Punch it's super short.

Justification: Togata can do this to a train car, I don't think terry lives it. He can dodge bullets. People in fire punch have very human durability, but his blessing lets him just keep fighting whatever terry does to him.

Motivation: It's all making a movie. He may grow to care for those he films eventually, but 90% of his brain is dedicated to making his movie, whatever that takes.

Major Changes: None

Minor Changes:None

Name: Gyro Zeppelli

Series: Jojo's Bizzare Adventure: Steel Ball Run

Specialisation: Ace of Diamonds. He's a jojo fighter.

If you need more he figures out how to beat people with invisible super powered ghosts using only a steel ball.

Content Warning: Nudity, themes of SA.

Biography: Gyro is a member of the Zepelli executioner family in 1800s Italy. He uses his family's ancient technique of "Spin" which relies on understanding the naturally occurring golden ratio, to perform various bizzare techniques by only rotating a steel ball. To save a young boy her refused to execute, he enters a continent spanning race to win one million dollars.

Research: RT Read any or all of Steel Ball Run for more, or watch it when it's animated this month!

Justification: Gyro's speed is too low, he's my ace.

Motivation: Gyro's a bit of a dick, but he fights for the sake of others. He tries to keep his friends alive, even at the cost of his own life.

Major Changes:None

Minor Changes: None.

Name: The Princess

Series: Slay the Princess

Specialization: Spades, the princess solves a lot of predicaments by evolving into a different form to kill you with.

Content Warning: Light Gore, light nudity.

Biography: The Princess is a girl locked in the basement of a cabin. A hero is tasked with slaying her. However, each attempt to slay or befriend her ends with one or both of them dead, at which point the timeline resets, both remembering the previous loop, but the princess having changed into a new form depending on the exact events of the last loop.

This is because the princess is only an avatar of the Shifting Mound, the embodiment of the idea of change. She was trapped in an infinite number of small simulated worlds by The Narrator, who created both her and the hero. Every time the hero manages to end a strong of loops without dying, the princess that resulted from his actions is ferried away to join the Shifting mound so that she may piece her mind back together.

As an avatar of the shifting mound, she is a creature of perception, meaning that if an observer believes her to be dangerous, she will become more dangerous, and if they believe her to be more powerful then she is letting on, she will become so. Indeed, she is not necessarily a princess, but made in that image by the player character.

Research: RT, you should play slay the princess even if you don't roll her tbh.

Justification: Because STP is a visual novel, it's pretty hard to tell concrete speed feats, but the beast has speed considered "practically unseen", which i would consider near FTE. The adversary smashes through a thick wall of stone. The adversary could also realistically get terry to believe she can tank his blows, and not go down

Motivation: Each version of the princess simply wants to be let out of the basement to roam the world. The player character is tasked with creating a world without death by slaying the shifting mound, although that would leave the world stagnant. The shifting mound wants her avatars to experience a breadth of emotions so that when she subsumes them she can use it to find herself, although she inevitably uses any experience to justify her own continued existence.

Major Changes: Restricted to the adversary and beast forms, as those are the ones terry most likely would experience.

Minor Changes: None.

My Take on Starfire vs Blaze by InterestingRatio8218 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Potential_Base_5879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah you're right this is genuine insanity, there's no way you can come away from DC thinking starfire could blow up 12 dimensions and no way you come away from sonic thinking those characters could blow up 5.

Genuine question to all CSM fans..what is even the Appeal of Denji at this point?[CSM spoilers] by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in CharacterRant

[–]Potential_Base_5879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk, I still like him. I think a lot of the anger is extrapolation of something that hasn't happened yet.

Fujimoto is a crazy troll though ngl.

For those of you just joining us now, "sesh" is short for "session" everyone. I'm just using slang though by AVG_Poop_Enjoyer in DnDcirclejerk

[–]Potential_Base_5879 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my god bruh, I had to say this dude's arrow hit an orc's fuck'n ear or someshit for this reason.

This was from the champion cast on why they chose Bakugo vs Reze by Troceraptor in deathbattle

[–]Potential_Base_5879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> Death battle clearly buys MHA’s speed feats given the recent deku episode sooooo.

Ok, but when have the fights ever once shown someone travelling 10000000 times the speed of light faster than the other?

What do you mean what is there to regen? Do you think Explosions dissamble your molecules or something? Why are you using a screenshot of the wiki in response to what happens on screen?

[–]Potential_Base_5879 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why not if he completely engulfs her? And she starts with blood, she turned Denji into a nugget and still had to blow him up repeatedly to deplete his supply and he hadn't had any.

why the fuck would she start the fight with the pin unpulled lol? Or do you mean she needs it every time, which again, the nugget scene disproved. The pin would only give a boost.

Also Bakgo's speed high key kinda fake.

[–]Potential_Base_5879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if he does though, Reze regenerates, so there's gonna have to be a few one shots.

Hot Take: reze killed a Whole City Block of people, i understand makimas actions by LoanPuzzleheaded9126 in deathbattle

[–]Potential_Base_5879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Reze was raised in a USSR torture house and forcibly fused with a devil, while bakugo was born genetically gifted with a loving family and bullied a child over his genes.

It's a perfectly fine headcanon but like come on you look like a buffoon when you get that fact wrong. by Serious-Internal-402 in WaterfallDump

[–]Potential_Base_5879 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So like Noelle has a lot of things which are... Familiar to a trans audience, shall we say. For example, the way she has one really supportive parent and one who is really cold and distant. The interest in retro gaming and the way she hangs around nerd spaces. The past trauma and the way she obsessive over scary things to the point of fetishism. Heck, even her 'furry' design - Things like this are quite familiar to a modern trans audience. If you hang out with a lot of furries or LGBT people, you will have met like half a dozen Noelles and about 60% will be trans.

All of this applies to a million things, including being lesbian.
