[VID] [Baldur's Gate 3] Perception check but the Dark Urge is a ✨BARD✨ by yaaayhem (1:09) (The Dark Urge, Karlach, Gale, Astarion)
Perception Check makes me laugh no matter how many times I hear it, and I love this animatic for it. Look at Durge's derpy little face! It's so cute! I love the art style changes between classes, and when Durge rolls that first nat 20, I love every single one of Durge's expressions and playing instruments in the background when others are talking, and the entire thing makes perfect sense for a gremlin of a Durge.
