Can someone explain what it means with the polyglot heritage that the languages take the form of your other languages? What does that mean?

[@BlackDragonGamingOfficial]

It's really weird isn't it? I suppose it's like....it looks like your speaking one language but sounds like the other? Or that you just jam syllables together from one to make the other. I feel like we need a professional for this one. Is there a linguist in the house?!

I made an android monk named xii fo the iron godscampaign. She was a worshiper of both brigh and irori. They ended up being one of my favorite characters I've ever played.

I would love to play an old android on the brink of releasing their soul, and then actually have that come up in game, play a different character for a bit, and then have the "new" android show back up again with the party confused as to why they look they same but act so different. Side note, wasn't a huge fan of the Android art for some reason. It isn't bad art, it just doesn't match the aesthetic of the rest of 2e so far and looks a bit cartoonish in style.

That would be a trip for sure. Tired of playing your old build? Need to go out of town for a couple sessions? Get yourself a new soul and come back way different than you once were! Legit I'm stealing this if I ever play an android.

I was running Iron Gods and I told my players they could play an android, I wouldn't object, and it would fit perfectly with the setting... no takers. They all played half elves and humans. My friends are boring sometimes.

[@hatefuldisplay]

My last game was opened to any ancestries available. Not a single human, elf, or half-elf was chosen. A leshy, a half-orc, a goblin, a halfling, and a gnome. I'm not sure if any would have chosen an android. I guess I'll see when we get back into gaming in the future.

I've only ever played an android in starfinder, but I really enjoy that style

I think nightvision its gated sometimes because, at least for me, Light and Shadow things gets kinda boring when EVERYONE has dark vision

[@BlackDragonGamingOfficial]

Yeah that's true. I just get so tired of having to remember who can and cannot see through darkness in Roll20

[@rasleyforde2363]

@@BlackDragonGamingOfficial yeah that make sense, I use a cheaper VTT that already included individual visions, so its ok for me

[@TheGeniziz]

How would you go about optimizing a one-handed build that uses the other hand to grapple / trip / shove? Both fighter and swashbuckler seem to have good support for it.

[@BlackDragonGamingOfficial]

We did a video on that actually! It was a fighter-rogue. Called it stab-and-grab iirc
