There is a reason why Ranpo often struggles with getting lost/finding his way back home
This might seem like a far fetched beginning, but for this to be clear I do need to explain one pretty easy to understand (I prommy) math concept - a random walk. In math, a random walk describes a path consisting of random steps in some sort of mathematical space. A path of a molecule in a gas is a random walk, and individual foraging animal's movement is a random walk, and even your Tw*tter follow suggestions use a random walk process. I have heard of it from Markov's chains and computer science. You might not have heard of it at all which is both valid and understandable. The important parts are:
1) a random walk is. well. a random walk;
2) In Japanese, while most commonly referred to by its transliterated name, ランダムウォーク (literally 'random walk' in katakana), a random walk can also be called 乱歩, with 乱 meaning 'disordered' and 歩 meaning 'path.
If you (unlike me) know Japanese, you already see where I am going with this - yes, 乱歩 reads as 'Ranpo'. It is, in fact, the same 'Ranpo' as in our beloved detectives name, Edogawa Ranpo!
Tumblr media
So Ranpo's general directionally challenges nature could be a nod towards his name, meaning that he probably gets lost easily and struggles with routes due to taking random detours and turns (just like a random walk ^-^)

making hera manage a space station is inhumane. she's supposed to be creating unmarketable art. post-canon hera makes like fifteen dollars a month off niche experimental multimedia poetry zines, eiffel is begging people to listen to his music on bandcamp (between an assortment of jobs that would be perfectly fine, if he could hold any of them for longer than two months), and they are both so, so lucky minkowski cares about them so much.

Hi! I’ve been following your tumblr forever and im glad there’s still other queer woman in their 30s still on here. Like where did we all go! Hope you’re doing well! Take care.
Oh my god, exactly! But don't worry, I feel like we'll both be here well into our 90's. We can bond over the shit we see in our retirement homes.
But also, if you're in your 30's and you see this message (yay, you found your glasses!), please like this. I need to see more adults on my dash. I see too many kids in their 20's, tsk tsk. Babies.

Hi,I’m going to disclose some top secret information to the Aesop Sharp simp community fan club.He’s 6’3” or 190.5 cm.You’re welcome.
EDIT: How I figured it out.The key was Professor Ronen.His character model is apparently 6’1”(185.4cm) so doing some comparison,the female MC model is around 5’3”-5’5”(or 160-165cm).Then I compared the character model to Professor Sharp and that’s how I figured it out.I was doing this on PS5 so I may be off but if he isn’t 6’3”(190.5cm) then he definitely isn’t shorter that 6’2”(183cm).I could alway be wrong though 🤷‍♀️

Why don’t they teach mathematical logic earlier? It’s present in literally all the books you have to read anyway. Some algebra author is going to be like for vs real numbers a,b ≠ 0 there exists a ratio a/b that is also a real number. And most people can’t even read that. Like half of the book is completely inaccessible because logic is fucking wild and requires actual practice with.
I’m not saying that this stuff is incredibly hard; it���s not. However logic just isn’t taught even though it is clearly foundational.
Sets especially seem to trigger me. Like I think a lot of people struggle with trig specifically because this aspect of functions is just not taught well. Like of course the arcsin(x) isn’t defined for -pi/2 > x < pi/2. It would be so much better if we actually taught this stuff.

I love the detail of characters like Will still saying "dear God" and not by the angel or something. it's relatively minor but it's such a good little reminder that he grew up as a mundane & not a shadowhunter

happy holiday break, let’s talk class schedules
Tumblr media
According to the Secrets of Auradon Prep tie-in book, AP runs on a rotating block schedule. Six periods per day, plus lunch. Pretty reasonable for a high school class schedule.
Homeroom once a week feels a little weird to me, but after an unofficial poll of some friends, it’s apparently not too uncommon for American high schools to only have it at the start of the week.
It’s sort of nice that the students get a study period every day, instead of having their free block/study block worked into the rotation with the rest of their classes.
In Mal’s Diary, we get another look at her schedule.
Tumblr media
She’s in most of the same classes as the sample from before, but no chemistry class. Is Mal not interested in chemistry, or did Fairy Godmother decide it was more important for her to learn about evil fairies instead? Are there other “cultural history” type classes for other students, or did Fairy Godmother and whoever planned the class schedules for the other VKs just decide to pile on allll of the history/social studies classes for the VK to educate them in the ways of Auradon?
I think it’s funnier for me personally if Fairy Godmother received transcripts from Dragon Hall, looked at the VKs’ classes so far, and decided to say ‘fuck it’ on math and science classes, what these kids need is Auradon cultural education. Woodsmen, Fairies, Auradon History, and straight-up Goodness 101. One singular math class will take care of the rest, they’ll be fine.

Btw at some point in the last session or two Grian stopped rebalancing times at halftime to be the same on minutes and seconds. Aka someone's clock might be 13:54:07 when someone else's with technically the same time is 13:51:49
So now Scar is nearly SEVEN MINUTES offset from Cleo and Etho and Skizz. Joel and Jimmy are five minutes offset. And it changes every time someone logs in or out while other people are online.
I'm going to bite him bc it makes accurate chronological order of events damn near impossible. I'll do it anyways bc I'm crazy but still, really dude?

This is how I built Vampire Ascendant Astarion in my latest Tactician playthrough. As a dual-wielding Gloom Stalker Thief, Astarion has his canon Rogue flavoring with the added bonus of the Ranger class’s Extra Attack and other sneaky, more martial abilities.
I like to run Astarion as a Thief Rogue, but Assassin Rogue also works well (though possibly with different gear – for example, you may want to use a longbow instead of dual hand crossbows).
The vibe of this example of a Gloom Stalker Thief is a stealthy, consistent damage dealer. When you reach Act 3, Astarion can focus on a 100-200 HP enemy and take it out (or at least whittle it down) easily. Or, he can spread his many attacks across lower HP minions and take out a bunch in one round.
Ranger has some good control-type spells, but I primarily run the Gloom Stalker Thief as a ranged martial.
This build is not reliant on elixirs, illithid powers, or mods. While I don’t think this multiclass is dependent on gear, the gear I’ve listed will go a long way in ensuring Astarion is a very competent machine gun. 🤗
Disclaimer: While I tried to powergame as much as I could with this build, I also wanted to keep it easy to follow and fairly thematic. I'm not claiming that this is the most powerful Vampire Ascendant build ever!
(Fair warning: Possible spoilers ahead!)
Levelling
I like to start Astarion out in Rogue for the canon flavoring and Extra Bonus Action (Thief Rogue Level 3). But once my party reaches Level 5, I’ll go to Withers and restart Astarion as a Ranger instead for the Extra Attack (Ranger Level 5).
How you progress in the levels is up to you – I recommend reading through the BG3 Wiki pages on Ranger and Rogue and see which of the classes’ benefits you think are most useful! These are just my personal preferences. I’ve also added a star (⭐) next to each of the features I tend to prioritize or take advantage of.
To start with, this is my Astarion’s base stats:
Tumblr media
Astarion’s Wisdom Score should be higher than his Intelligence score; any spells he’d be using are Ranger spells (and Rangers cast off Wisdom).
This build guide assumes that Astarion is not the party face – therefore, it’s fairly safe to dump his Charisma stat.
Level 1: Rogue (Level 1)
Sneak Attack ⭐
Select:
Expertise: Stealth, Sleight of Hand
Level 2: Rogue (Level 2)
Cunning Action: Dash
Cunning Action: Disengage
Cunning Action: Hide
Level 3: Rogue (Level 3)
Improved Sneak Attack Damage (+1d6) ⭐
Select:
Subclass: Thief
The Thief subclass has the following benefits:
Fast Hands (Extra Bonus Action)
Second-Story Work (Resistance to Falling Damage)
Level 4: Rogue (Level 4)
Select:
Feat: Ability Improvement (aka ASI) = +1 DEX, +1 WIS ⭐
This should take his Dexterity to 18 and his Wisdom to 16.
Level 5: Rogue (Level 5)
Proficiency Bonus
Improved Sneak Attack Damage (+1d6) ⭐
Level 6: Ranger (Level 1)
Weapon Proficiencies: Simple weapons, martial weapons
Armor Proficiencies: Light armor, medium armor, shields
Select:
1st Favored Enemy: Bounty Hunter
1st Natural Explorer: Urban Tracker
Level 7: Ranger (Level 2)
Select:
Fighting Style: Two-Weapon Fighting ⭐
Spells: Ensnaring Strike, Hunter’s Mark
The Archery Fighting Style could also be good, but I run Astarion as equally reliant on his standard Actions and Bonus Actions – therefore Two-Weapon Fighting works for my build.
Level 8: Ranger (Level 3)
Select:
Subclass: Gloom Stalker
Spells: Fog Cloud
The Gloom Stalker subclass has some awesome benefits:
Dread Ambusher (Extra Attack during the 1st round of combat) ⭐
Dread Ambusher: Hide (Basically another Cunning Action: Hide)
Umbral Shroud (Become Invisible if Obscured)
Superior Darkvision (Darkvision is now 24m / 80ft)
Disguise Self (Gain the ritual spell Disguise Self)
Dread Ambusher, Umbral Shroud, and Superior Darkvision are probably the best features for the stealthy machine gun Gloom Stalker Thief.
Level 9: Ranger (Level 4)
Feat:
Sharpshooter (-5 to Ranged Attack Rolls, but +10 to Ranged Damage Rolls) ⭐
Level 10: Ranger (Level 5)
Extra Attack ⭐
Misty Step (from Gloom Stalker Subclass) ⭐
Select:
Spells: Spike Growth
Level 11: Ranger (Level 6)
Select:
2nd Favored Enemy: Mage Breaker
2nd Natural Explorer: Wasteland Wanderer: Fire
I selected Mage Breaker because I had Astarion’s backstory in mind – Cazador, Astarion’s ultimate antagonist, is primarily a caster during Astarion’s final quest battle. However, True Strike is a notably unhelpful cantrip, so you may want to choose a different Favored Enemy.
I selected Wasteland Wanderer: Fire because Fire is a common Damage type that enemies dole out. For the same reason, Wasteland Wanderer: Poison is also a good selection.
Level 12: Ranger (Level 7)
Select:
Spells: Silence
I picked Silence since it’s almost always useful, but if you have a Cleric (or another caster with access to Silence) on your primary team then you may want to pick a different spell.
Alternatives…
If you went 4 Rogue / 8 Ranger, you’d lose Rogue’s Uncanny Dodge and additional 1d6 damage on Sneak Attack (Level 5) – but gain Ranger’s Land’s Stride: Difficult Terrain (Level 8) and an additional Feat (Level 8).
If you went 5 Rogue / 5 Ranger / 2 Fighter, you’d lose Ranger’s additional Favored Enemy, Natural Explorer (Level 6), and additional spell (Level 7) – but gain Fighter’s Second Wind, Fighting Style (Level 1), and Action Surge (Level 2).
I picked a lot of offensive Ranger spells, but the Ranger class also has some great buff spells like Longstrider and Enhance Leap.
Final Composition
By Level 12, Astarion should have the following notable qualities:
Tumblr media
Extra Attack and Extra Bonus Action, resulting in 4 possible Attacks per round.
Sharpshooter: On a ranged weapon hit, deal an extra +10 Damage.
Sneak Attack: On a Sneak Attack hit, deal an extra 3d6 (3-18) Damage.
Two-Weapon Fighting, which adds your Ability Score Modifier (+4) to the damage of your offhand attack.
Gear
I like to equip Gloom Stalker Thief Astarion with the following gear. The evil flavoring on some of the pieces (Helldusk, Bhaalist) definitely adds to the ambience of a Vampire Ascendant Astarion.
I’ve made a small note of why I equipped each piece of gear, but you can visit each Wiki link for the full benefits on each piece! None of this gear is really necessary (except maybe the Risky Ring), but I do recommend having Astarion dual-wield to take advantage of Thief Rogue’s Extra Bonus Action.
Headwear: Marksmanship Hat
+1 to Ranged Attack Rolls
Also, he looks cool in it. LOL.
Armor: Bhaalist Armor
Aura of Murder: Enemies within 2m / 6.5ft become Vulnerable to Piercing Damage (unless they are Resistant or Immune to it)
+2 to Initiative Rolls
Cloak: Shade-Slayer Cloak
Reduces the number needed to roll a Critical Hit while Hiding by 1
Handwear: Helldusk Gloves
+1d6 Fire Damage per Weapon Attack
+1 to Weapon Attack Rolls
Footwear: Helldusk Boots
Any boots that give Astarion the option to position himself more aptly are excellent. For example, the Disintegrating Night Walkers or Spaceshunt Boots are also very good.
Amulet: Amulet of Bhaal
On a hit, inflicts Bleeding on targets that have maximum HP
This feels very apt for a Vampire Ascendant.
Ring A: Risky Ring*
Advantage on Attack Rolls
Disadvantage on Saving Throws
*This ring is extremely important to the build, IMO! The Advantage on Attack Rolls does a lot to offset the -5 to Attack Rolls from the Sharpshooter feat.
Ring B: Caustic Band**
+2 Acid Damage per Weapon Attack
**This ring can add up to +10 Acid Damage, since you have four Attacks and an additional attack on your first round of combat from Dread Ambusher. However, this +8-10 may not be negligible by the time you reach Act 3 – instead, the Killer’s Sweetheart ring (basically one free Critical Hit on demand per long rest) may be more overall effective.
Melee Main Hand: Crimson Mischief
+1d4 Piercing Damage when you have Advantage on targets with <50% of their HP
+7 Piercing Damage when you have Advantage on a target
If you’re wearing the Risky Ring, you’ll almost always have Advantage, so the added Piercing Damages are basically a guarantee.
Melee Off Hand: Rhapsody
Scarlet Remittance: Gain +1 to Attack Rolls, Damage, and Spell Save DC for each foe you slay (up to +3)
Sweet Bloodletting: Possibly inflict Bleeding when hitting a target with this weapon while Hiding or Invisible
Rhapsody used to belong to Cazador – so I find it thematically fitting for a Vampire Ascendant Astarion to now use this knife. But if you’d rather avoid it, Knife of the Undermountain King is also a good one!
Ranged Main Hand: Ne’er Misser
Deals Force Damage rather than Piercing Damage
Gain one use of Magic Missile Level 3 per Short Rest
I like this hand crossbow a lot because some enemies are Resistant to Piercing Damage – but very few (if any?) are Resistant to Force Damage. But since it doesn’t deal Piercing Damage, this hand crossbow won’t benefit from the Bhaalist Armor’s Aura of Murder.
Ranged Off Hand: Hellfire Hand Crossbow
+2 Weapon Enchantment
Hellstalker: Possibly inflict Burning when attacking while Hiding or Invisible
Damage Numbers
After you finish leveling and equipping Vampire Ascendant Astarion, your final Damage stats should look something like the following table. When calculating these numbers, I assumed the following: 
The target isn’t Resistant to Piercing, Force, Acid, Necrotic, or Fire Damage
No conditional Damage on Crimson Mischief
Sharpshooter is toggled on
Tumblr media
(I tried to calculate the above numbers by hand… So apologies if my calculations are fudged due to an incorrect understanding of Damage rolls, haha! This should be approximately correct, at least.)
Example: Combat Against Githyanki
For an example of how this build plays, here’s how Level 12, Vampire Ascendant, fully equipped Gloom Stalker Thief Astarion did against a group of Vlaakith’s githyanki warriors (Elfsong Tavern) in Tactician:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here, Astarion did 43+75+26+35 Damage, or a total of 179 Damage in one round. (And that’s with four Attacks instead of five.) This is pretty standard for how my Act 3 combats tend to go, so I think this is a fair representation of this Astarion build’s abilities.
Conclusion
Of course, there are many other builds for Vampire Ascendant Astarion that can also do ridiculous (if not far more!) Damage. For example, some powergamers will class Astarion as a Monk (usually with the Tavern Brawler feat) – whether that’s Way of the Open Hand for maximum Damage output, or Way of Shadow for more vampiric vibes – with a multiclass dip in Thief Rogue for the Extra Bonus Action. This gives Vampire Ascendant Astarion a standard six Unarmed Strikes per round of combat; he adds 1d10 Necrotic Damage to each of those for an additional 6d10 Necrotic Damage total.
And, of course, even without the Vampire Ascendant trait, this build tends to do a good deal of Damage and can work for any character (whether that be an edgy Tav, the Dark Urge, or a different Companion). For example, a lot of the infernal gear might be cool for a post-Pact Ranger Wyll.
Thanks for reading, and hope this gave you some ideas for your ranged martial builds! :)
