I think that of the like several separate times I've considered playing a shapeshifting character in d&d/pathfinder, in every single case I've independently come to the conclusion that what that character obviously needs is a wisecracking corvid familiar

Congrats it’s an Intro Post!
Hi everyone! I figured I’d introduce myself and kind of explain my goal for this blog.
My name is River. I am an enbie living in the State of Michigan with a love for all things roleplay.
I got introduced to the world of TTRPGs when a dear friend in college ran a game of Pathfinder for our group of friends and I instantly fell in love. Since then, I’ve branched out to DnD 5e and then further with Monster of the Week, Kids on Bikes, and some of my own homebrew systems that have been loosely based on DnD5e. I want to eventually fully develop my completely own systems and am actually in the process of doing so now! I mostly DM for groups and enjoy building my own worlds than running premade settings, so you could say I’m more on the creative side of TTRPGs than I am on the game playing side.
Some dear friends have encouraged me to start a blogging journey and talk more about my knowledge and passion of the ttrpg community so I figured why not!
Give me a follow if you enjoy discussing and listening to a nerd info dump excitedly about various TTRPG systems, or even if you want to explore the world outside of DnD 5e!

Can I give my main controversial opinion about M*stra? Has nothing to do with her actions in BG3 or in lore, has nothing to do with personality or her design or anything like that. My main controversial opinion about M*stra is having a God/Goddess of Magic AT ALL creates some weird problems in universe for me.
Now DnD is all over the place with the various editions but realistically M*stra isn't actually the God of Magic, she's the Goddess of the Weave which is the tool in which mortals are able to utilise Magic. But ultimately it doesn't matter cause mortals aren't gonna be tapping into magic without using the Weave or else they'd likely go insane.
But anyway it causes questions to come up like why are some people born Sorcerers, why are Devils and Fey allowed to grant Magic to Warlocks when Magic is M*stra's domain and why does she decide some people have to go to Magical University in order to cast Magic? Not even touching on all the other classes, that reasonably are tied to different gods like Druids and Nature God's still using Magic despite not worshipping M*stra. Like why are some races inherently more Magic than others? The Elven Pantheon can't gift all Elves inherent magical abilities when Magic is M*stra's domain.
Like does M*stra just decide "oh elves are magical. I'll let them be born with a cantrip." Or "that girl nearly drowned. I'm gonna make her into a Storm Sorcerer now, but that loser over there? No, he needs to get into crippling student dept before I'll grant him access to the Weave. "
Having M*stra be the sole authority on magic means these are questions I will ask now because you've told me that this ONE being is the final authority on Magic. Like how does she decide if some bloodlines are magical sorcerers? How does she decide what races are inherently magical?
Like I know they keep telling us she can't meddle too much cause Ao will get mad but in actual lore she meddles a lot, so I'm calling that putting a bandaid on their problems, they know they gave M*stra too much authority so have to try and plaster over said problem.
Realistically I would make Magic and the Weave a force of nature, even more so than the actual forces of nature because its so fundamental to the world. Its in the land, its in the air, it is life itself in some regards. Some races with a closer connection to nature and the sanctity of life are more likely to be born with an inate gift for magic and Sorcerers often come about due to interracial relations between these races and others (ie. Half Elves would have a higher than average chance of being Sorcerers, basically this would be the Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer just expanded a bit) or they were born or had some traumatic even near an area that is particularly potent with magical energy (you can still call it the Weave i guess) such as Wild Magic Zones or areas recently ravaged by Talos and Umberlees destructive natural Magic.
Then I would make M*stra the Goddess of Arcane Knowledge and Practice and the Patron Deity of Wizards. Still incredibly powerful and revered through Faerun, but not like mind bendingly so. I would make her Lawful Neutral and she encourages the study and practice of new magics, good and evil, and can grant unimaginable knowledge onto worshippers who she favours. She can still grant exceptional magical abilities upon her chosen, but just by removing her as BEING Magic and instead making Magic inherent to the world itself it removes all these issues I have and suddenly those questions just aren't important anymore. Like "why are some people sorcerers" it's just a random force to nature, the luck of the draw, they were born lucky in the right place at the right time etc. Rather than me asking "why did M*stra let these people be Sorcerers but not these people?"
I'm aware a lot of people will disagree with me, frankly I don't really care the beauty of DnD is you don't have to play the game the same way I do so you can just ignore me and move on. I just wanted to rant a bit cause this has bugged me ever since I looked properly at M*stra and her lore and started to really ask questions about the world of Forgotten Realms.

on the bus home today I was thinking about hot women who remind me of each other (Karlach and Bobbie Draper) and then I was debating whether Bobbie would be a barbarian or fighter in dnd world before I realized I was an idiot and she’s obviously an oath of the crown paladin

The Elithiel grindset:
- never sleep (be an elf)
- climb around on walls and ceilings like a gecko
- have your titties on display as often as possible
- always be the one in control of a conversation (enchantment magic)
- turn invisible and run away when confronted with dangerous or uncomfortable situations
- teleport around just for fun
- barely grasp the concept of an economy or of most material plane governments in general
- never drink, keep your mind sharp
- lie to everyone all the time for no reason
- commit crimes ranging from petty theft to arson to mass child endangerment, seemingly at random

today's dnd session turned into a minigame of stardew valley where i was in my hometown and had to hire a new person to run my parents' farm while they were on a business trip. this was because i had to confront the first farmhand when i learned he had gone to a hag to get a love potion, which was not acceptable behavior. he was so embarrassed he never showed back up for work. as i was looking for a replacement, we decided to go see if he was home and still interested in returning to work and putting the whole misunderstanding behind us, but he had left town with a note saying he was traveling. i wrote an apology note and slid it under his door, saying he was welcome to apply again. at the suggestion of another party member, though, i turned into a mouse and slipped under the door to see if maybe he was just hiding or if he left any indication of when he would return. reader, his entire home was covered in hand-drawn portraits of MY MOTHER (HAPPILY MARRIED TO MY DAD) and detailed fantasies about marrying her and starting a new life. my character was literally so mad she mouse-pooped on the note and we hired someone else.

THEY ROCK - i just blocked one named clerical-quirk which would be a PERFECT username for a DND sideblog 🥹😭
