Just a bit to make you smile

[Allianis]

Hello Giantitp, I just wanted to share this bit of news with all of you. My son is 1.5 years old, and just learning words. I decided to explain to him the intricacies of my character, who is a beguiler, and how his job is to support the team through tricks and and enchantments. I told him how he wasn't like a normal caster, because he didn't cast fireball or anything like that. This exchange immediately happned:

son: "firebaw!"
Me: "No son, no fireball."
son: "firebaw?"
Me: "I'm sorry son, no fireball. But I have charm person!"
son: "No firebaw!" *Proceeds to grab my mini, throw it across the room, and cries for 5 minutes.

My son is destined to be a blaster mage....

A young man who clearly has his priorities straight. Obviously you're raising him right. I approve. :-D

And now, I am picturing a variant on "fireball" whose material component is a figurine rather than a ball of sulphurous guano.

well, better warmage than monk :smalltongue:

Epic parenting.

[Uncle Pine]

This is the cutest thing I've read today. Thanks OP for lightening my mood! :smallsmile:

Quick! If he's only 1.5 years old, you have just enough time to homebrew, steal homebrew or look at third party materials to make blasters viable! You have a responsibility as a parent!

[Flickerdart]

I've never spent any time with 1.5 year olds but I'm impressed the kid could even understand what a caster is and what fireballs are.

Although it's somewhat unclear how much he does or does not understand at any given time, I'm 100% sure he had no idea what I was talking about or what fireball means. He just heard a word connected with "no" and got angry. Of course, I could be wrong and he could be mocking me for choosing a beguiler. Who knows these things?

Be nice... blasters are perfectly viable...

Still, you know you love to blow up some goblins just like the rest of us.

[Extra Anchovies]

Maybe he sees Beguiler as an inferior class to Warmage for Rainbow Servant builds?

[Socratov]

Or he has the same apporaxh as I did entering into Dnd: "If a fireball doesn't solve the problem, you obviously did no throw enough fireballs"

[Chronos]

Clearly, your son is telling you that you need to take Shadow Evocation as one of your Advanced Learning spells. Then, you can Firebaw whenever you want, or any of a variety of other situationally-useful spells.

Precisely. As a matter of fact its still my favorite method to solve problems, i just use Metamagic on it now.

There's no problem that can't be solved by Fireballs.
