Posted Aug 23, 2022Why would living with the elves let me speak all languages, have proficiencies in artisans tools, Gaming sets, weapons, armor, musical instruments, and let me have anything I want?

Posted Apr 9, 2023DM, I know I just started at level 1 but I would like a Bombard ship from Spelljammer, +3 Adamantite Mithral Plate Armor of Bludgeoning, Piercing, Slashing, and Poison Resistance, Boots of Speed, an Oathbow, a +3 Vicious Dragon Slayer Ascendant Dragon's Wrath Giant Slayer Luck Blade Vorpal Crystal Greatsword, a Ring of Three Wishes, a Book of Exalted Deeds, 10,000,000 gold coins (not being held on my person, because that would crush me), 5,000 Adamantite Bars (again, not on me, as that would crush me), and a bar of soap.

Posted May 29, 2023Okay, this is… SUPER underpowered. Literally. Like, yes, I get you have advantage on all checks made to do anything with elves, are constantly under the effects of a speak with animals/plants spell, have LITERALLY ANYTHING AT LEVEL 1, speak all languages, proficiency/expertise in EVERYTHING, but…
No spells? Maybe give a… free wish spell? Infinite hit points? Infinite money? An infinite amount of tamed dragons that can fight with you? That might make it a level of power that’s playable.

Posted Mar 16, 2025ChatGPT said this:
Ah yes, the Wildborn—because who doesn't want to be an all-knowing, all-talented, master of everything, raised by elves who just handed you the keys to the entire world? I can already imagine the character being like, 'I have advantage on making friends with elves... and also, I can talk to every squirrel, tree, and rock, so... that's cool.' Seems pretty fair, right?
