Astarion's character design is definitely intriguing, and his duality as both charming and dark adds a layer of complexity that can enrich roleplay. However, I'm a bit wary of how often vampire tropes can feel overused in RPGs, sometimes they just end up being the classic "broody guy" without much depth. I hope his narrative really leverages that charm instead of just leaning on the vampire spin.
