We made a deal with some ogres who are going to come fight with us when we need them. Overall, we're playing as neutral to good pragmatists, which I guess would make us chaotic neutral or maybe chaotic good if you caught us on the right day.? I don't know. That doesn't seem to be a part of the game

Fifth edition D&D pretty much did away with alignments. As far as I know there are no game mechanics that interact with a character's alignment, it's purely a description of the character.

Guido the mage-thing gets to stand back while you're slapping mind flayers' faces, you need it more.

If you're playing on Tactical, you should be aware that if Guido is concentrating on a spell enemies will prefer to target him, even if it means taking opportunity attacks.

Yeah, we've already noticed that Guido is constantly being attacked. Didn't know why, though.

Hmmm, I wonder why one of the Ogres is called Lump the Enlightened. What could make Lump so enlightened, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder.

There isn't that many in BG3, but you have Shadowheart/Minthara and the Dark Urge character with the latter being the more prominent alignment wise. I think Shadowheart is the best one mechanical wise, but I find Dark Urge to be the funniest and also beneficial for the group to use regardless of going (with the exception of one killing *cough*) down the evil road or not.

Hmm. No idea...but since their entire thing is eating, maybe he ate something that made him smarter. I'm not that familiar with the flora and fauna, so I don't know what he ate. I've never heard anyone say that eating something in D&D makes you smarter, and I used to play magic users all the time, so I'm sure I would have eaten some. Maybe he ate something that was imbued with magic, or maybe he was ironically cursed by someone. Hmm....I don't know. If I have to make a guess. I'd say it was something he ate, and I don't know what would do that other than something magic. Okay, my answer is that while eating someone else he swallowed their 'ring of intelligence'.

I believe you have unveiled his secret. Well done!
