Posted Mar 29, 2024I just recently introduced my DM to bioshock and within a couple days he beat 1 and moved on to 2. We were talking about it a lot and I come up with homebrewing existing characters into DND (ex. Barney, purple Dragonborn bard) and we both thought of making a big daddy. I figured some madlad had already made one and that’s you, so inspiration die for you. My DM is building a rock gnome artificer alchemist to pose as a little sister while I’ll play the BD.
-Note, I love the idea of mending being used as a healing spell and I don’t remember that being a normal Warforged thing, so well done
