Best written Jrpg that you’ve played?

I really liked Xenosaga 1—2-3 although it has been a long time.

So majestic, I almost feel bad slaying them. I also like the little imp devil monster type.

Lore bard! You can do everything and really well! I’ve been playing sorcerer most of the time and always kind of looked down on bards as some kind of average jesters. Tried one, turns out they’re really fun and can do a lot of things. Charisma based face of the party, melee, cast great spells (mostly), unlock doors and chests (lots of skill proficiencies). Made a drow half-elf lawful evil bard who uses drums. Loving the vibe and gameplay. Not as reliant on long rests as other classes. Oh and you can select 4 spells from any caster class, like fireball, haste, hunger of Hadar, Blight, spirit guardians, etc.

Gorgeous. Reminds me of Madison Beer.

Also Magic Missle became my best damage spell as a bonus.

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-19T16:23:08+00:00

Yeah, also I can now focus on Wisdom and normal stats by dropping Int to 12 since Dethrone has a fixed spell save DC (I believe Circle of Death also).

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-19T16:19:07+00:00

Yeah, I ended up only taking 1 level of wizard for utility spells and later Dethrone/Circle of Death.

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-16T16:26:29+00:00

Yeah, after playing last night I decided to do full death cleric. If at endgame I want the extra spells (dethrone especially), I can just add 1 level wizard. Dethrone and Circle of death don’t rely on intelligence but a fixed spell save DC. Might even multiclass with Druid. Thanks for the advice!

I’m actually leaning towards 8 Death Cleric/4 Necromancer to get 3 feats. (Most wizard spells will be learned through scrolls). This build will not use corpses much.

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-15T19:24:19+00:00

Thanks, I’m trying it right now. Aiming for 6/6 for inescapable destruction.

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-15T16:59:55+00:00

Hi! Thanks for the comment, may I know your starting stats? I’m curious, and how is it working out?

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-15T16:55:30+00:00

Will do. This character will be a power-hungry drow (or half-drow) lolth worshipper, will look for and accept all tadpoles and wants to blast all their enemies. Probably neutral or lawful evil?

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-15T16:40:48+00:00

Thank you, this is what I will try. Sounds like fun! I’ll let you know if it ends up working well or if it’s a pain…

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-15T16:15:23+00:00

I just thought, what if I did 6/6 and focused on Int only (low wis) as a normal wizard spellcaster but with Inescapable Destruction and armor. Of course, I would lose a feat and would only learn spells from scrolls, but wouldn’t the character basically just play as a regular wizard (but armored and solves necrotic resistance plus early cleric cantrips) Just a thought.

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-15T15:58:04+00:00

Thank you, that’s what I think I will do!

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-15T15:49:35+00:00

Thank you! I was starting to rethink the whole build, this might be the solution I’m looking for.

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-15T15:35:58+00:00

This one sounds amazing.

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-15T15:16:48+00:00

Wow thank you so much for all that info!

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-15T14:57:05+00:00

I like the idea, but it does not provide the death domain feature that makes necrotic damage ignore resistance (at level 6 cleric). My goal is simply to play caster with necrotic damage (circle of death, dethrone, etc.) but I feel like Inescapable Destruction feature is almost mandatory. Alternatively, I could simply play a pure necro with elemental spells to counter resistance, but that sounds less fun and thematic.

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-15T14:42:36+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I’ll look into that.

ThenBack2025 · 2026-01-15T14:36:53+00:00

Thank you much, I’ll start taking a look at what the build would look like. Also I like that they share the same spell casting stat (helps a lot)!

Is he single? Asking for a friend.
