BG3 Spoiler stuff
Important in this case is that Myrkul (and the other two of the Dead Three) are ‘quasi-deities’ in 5e’s timeline. They were dead, and lost basically all their powers in the process, and are only now starting to claw back some of that strength. Myrkul’s avatar not being all that impressive (it’s a late tier 2 threat, aka something that “heroes of the realm” would be fighting) is a reflection of that.
Tiamat’s avatar, by contrast, would wipe the floor with you in a single turn without even trying, since she’s not a big loser like the Dead Three are.
With BG3’s higher power level than standard 5e, Raphael’s probably about equal to an Planetar in power, above Adult dragons but below Ancient dragons, albeit with a home-field advantage when you fight him.
He’s not a top dog devil (though he definitely believes himself to be).

A big devil but not the biggest - the big ones control a level of hell, like Zariel does Avernus. Raphael just has a mansion in Avernus so he’s middle management
Zariel would smash Raphael (and all of us) into powder pretty handily [in lore at least, with her 5E stats we’d probably annihilate her]. Gods and their avatars don’t normally have stats for good reason

The biggest devil is Asmodeus, the literal god of hell who has ‘don’t even bother’ stats because he can cast spells like Wish at will and just go ‘I Wish you no longer existed’
Mephistopheles, the next devil down from Asmodeus, did get stats for 5e in the Minsc and Boo semi-official supplement.
Though I’m sure a max level party could defeat him, I believe most would fall flat, even if they somehow fought him 1vParty.
Peeve; this stupid and arbitrary limit on ‘number of likes’ on posts.
What, are they as rationed as your fully digital, fully automated characters services that you ‘have’ to charge for, Blizz?

I don’t even get to play BG3 on non-working days, because come on, it’s summer and I’d rather swim and enjoy nature, anyway I need to buy some household goods and might as well browse the shopping mall while I’m at it, and then in the evening it’s RP time and also I really really should do the 10.1 campaign already since 10.2 is on the way, and let’s watch another video or episode with my wife, and — wait, where did all the time go?

relatable. by the time i’ve put the kids to bed and had my dinner i’m too tired to be able to give it my full attention, and also i want to spend time with my wife
last night she wanted to play animal crossing so i played while she did that. it was a good arrangement. however this is a game that necessitates a good chunk of time spent as opposed to lots of little bits which is how i usually play games
Both my Tieflings are Asmodeus Tieflings
Why buy things when you can steal?
Just use Astarion so you don’t break your good character TM
I’m trying to fix him and this goes against his rehabilitation program.
That said, as a druid I do not believe in economics so maybe it’s fine.

You are fixing him, but he’s stubborn. If he just comes out of the blue with a gift, would you be suspicious? Obviously not.
Loot is loot.
(Now please let’s hide that merchant corpse there before a guard sees it - Look. If you want me to pay 1830 gold for a cool scroll after I saved your organization and destroyed the cult leader, I deserve to steal from you.).
Get a load of this quest item placement.

Parcel comes to my door, partially open it because i am expecting parcels, until I actually read the address and the only thing my address has in common is the same number (gonna duct tape the opening down)
But now got to take it all the way back into my local town and post it off again.
I’ve been there years ago. Pronunciation challenge: Impossible.

No, no. I want to change my Battle.net region from Russia. Russian accounts were locked out of all payment options after the war began, and then Blizzard locked automated region change specifically for Russian accounts, requiring that to be done through customer service with absolutely baffling requirements.
So it’s like…
— Blizzard please change my region so I can pay you money again
— No
