What about a battle between two NPCs that don't like eachother? Like Edwin and Minsc for example.

Inspired by my latest post in Xan challenge topic, something I don't think has been mentioned yet:

The almighty GIRDLE OF GENDER-BENDING! :naughty: :twisted:

(The effects of which need not be limited to Edwin alone, kplzthx.)


That's actually an awesome idea!

EDIT: Oops! Sorry for the double post :whistling:

This idea is pretty sad, but it popped into my mind as I thought of all the things that happen to my Bhaalspawn. I mean, the things the game doesn't want me to do to my Bhaalspawn. (coughs) Ahem. Anyway, why not have something about when the PC (And NPC's. *cough* Xan. *cough*) get drunk. All the interesting situations. With my luck, this has been suggested twenty times and I missed all the posts. Or even done. Gah! My head hurts. But I would still love it.

Hey, pretty fun idea! No, it's not been done yet, I checked ;)

Thanks. ^_^ I checked, too, but I tend to skip important or awesome stuff. Like drunken characters, I guess... :whistling:

By the way, I never really understood what the 'drunk' effect actually did in BG. It doesn't affect any dialogue, but what then?

Apparently, it boost morale. It affects your fighting(gives a penalty to luck). It increases with drinks consumed and it diminishes over time. I think that's it.

What about wild magic? You could draw your wildmage gender-bending the whole party, turning themselves funny colors, summoning squirrels with a Chromatic Orb spell...the possibilities are endless... :whistling:
Complex is the art of Technical Wild Magery, as you have to be able to do exactly what someone else does, and come up with WILDLY different results. For example, a Technical Mage can download the program to run a .rar file and have it work fine, whereas a Technical Wild Mage can download the same program and have their computer blow up. If ever you require tutoring in the art of Technical Wild Magery, I am available at virtually all hours.

Oo I have an idea--CROSSOVER! ^_^
Draw your favorite Baldur's Gate characters dressed as people from your other fandoms, like books, movies, anime, Broadway shows, other games, etc...



And as for characters, I think that certain characters, such as Quayle, Tiax, Alora, Cernd, Skie, etc. don't get enough love. We need to give people an incentive to draw the less popular characters that are so often forgotten.

I was just going to post that, dang you! emot_argh.gif

Also, on a related note... how about alternate universes - BG characters and/or concepts in a modern, sci-fi, western, etc, setting? (Also works with more "minor" changes like "what if Gorion had adopted Sarevok instead", although if pressed for ideas, each of these could be a separate topic...).

Is this the best time to state that I usually hate AU stuff? Although it's mostly due to exposure to fics with descriptions along the lines of "Haer'Dalis is a russian prostitute and Edwin is his pimp. AU, yaoi, PLZ R&R", which will hopefully not be an issue here... if only due to the PG-13 rating limit.

LOL! Where did you even find something like *this*.

And.... idea, idea... Draw the death of a character? But somebody probably already suggested it^^' (after all it is 'bloody murder' that Bhaal stuff is all about, right?)
'NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency! Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surpr-... I'll come in again.

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!... Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms - Oh damn!'

How about Dynaheir? Or Xzar? Edwin and Xan get far too much attention. :rolleyes:

Actually, I have never had the misfortune of encountering a Baldur's Gate fic like this, but I have seen plenty of stuff in other fandoms that makes about the same amount of sense. Much of it went away when ff.net revamped their policies, but I imagine you can probably still find a bunch by searching for key words like "pimp" or "prostitute" if you're really curious. (I don't hate myself anywhere near enough to do it for you, sorry.)

Hey, how about CHILDHOOD? Draw what your favorite character looked like as kids!

Maybe little tykes Imoen and #CHARNAME running around Candlekeep causing trouble for Gorion and Puffugts, Or a young Haer'Dalis roaming the streets of Sigil? Looking into characters' pasts would be interesting.

How about parents? IN the case of a Bhaalspawn, their mother.
Are you secretly in love with a man you can never have, because he's entirely fictional?
