Neverwinter Nights 2/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 18:

* [[The Call Knows Where You Live]]

* [[The Casanova]]: As a background trait, though this has no in-game effect beyond a few comments in West Harbor and giving you a few skill bonuses.

* [[Character Alignment]]: In-universe, it is a game based on ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~ Dragons]]'' after all. Any, although non-evil is at least implied for the original campaign given that the King of Shadows is canonically defeated by the time ''Mask of the Betrayer'' starts. But then again, it's not out of the realm of possibility that [[Evil Versus Evil]] resulted.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Optional, of course, given the medium, but this option certainly exists.

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: A number of examples from the King of Shadows to Kelemvor's paragon, but the standout example has got to be the very casual, easy way in which you can {{spoiler|take out Myrkul}} in a truly epic example of both [[Ironic Death|Ironic]] and [[Karmic Death]].

Line 49:

* [[Old Friend]]: When you meet him again

* [[Lawful Good]]: In-universe.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]

* [[Took a Level in Badass]]

* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: It's implied if you're a woman by at least one character that Bevil has a crush on you ([[Captain Obvious|he's not a romance]]). However, for his part, he never really says anything to the effect.

* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Largely how he sees the world beyond West Harbor.

Line 95:

* [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]]: With the exception of having an American accent instead of a Scottish brogue.

* [[The Other Darrin]]: In ''Storm of Zehir''.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: He was always pretty badass, but ''Storm of Zehir'' shows that {{spoiler|he's ''become one of the Nine''.}}

A simple farmgirl from just outside Highever, Shandra Jerro at first seems like just another NPC, until the githyanki abduct her to use her in the search for her grandfather's Haven. Having lost her farm thanks to getting caught up in the Knight-Captain's business, she joins up with the Knight-Captain's party as a fighter.

Line 279:

* [[Neutral Good]]: In-universe.

* [[Sixth Ranger]]: While the maximum party size is normally four, she acts as a mandatory fifth party member in chapter II.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Literally. Starts out as a repeatedly [[Damsel in Distress]], then turns into a shortsword-wielding [[Badass Normal]].

Line 634:

* [[In Harmony with Nature]]: Being a druid, that's not surprising.

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[Mission ~~From~~ God]]: He was dispatched to reasonably civilized Samarach from his usual haunts in the Chultan jungle because his god Ubtao sensed a threat to Chult brewing. {{spoiler|Ubtao was correct on everything but the ''scale'' of the threat.}}

Line 690:

* [[Chaotic Good]]: In-universe.

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[Mission ~~From~~ God]]: Traveled overseas from Evermeet on orders from her goddess. {{spoiler|Angarradh saw the rise of the Zehiric cult and, being a good deity, decided to intervene.}}

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Par for the course with elves, but subverted in that she's old enough to show it on her face (looks to be maybe in her forties or fifties if she was human).

Line 730:

'''Associated Tropes:'''

* [[The Apprentice]]: Wants to follow in Ammon Jerro's footsteps.

* [[The Apprentice (trope)|The Apprentice]]: Wants to follow in Ammon Jerro's footsteps.
