Aren't Aasimar's fully statted out in the DMG as an example of how to make a new race?

>>44968790
Because "power-hungry mages make deal with the devil of all devils, cursing their offspring for all eternity" is generally easier to explain than the same thing happening with celestials, who tend to stay out of mortal affairs.

Why did Dragonborn become a standard race to chose from? Why did Eldarin?

The Eldarin really make me mad, because they're really just elves but more elvey.

>>44968864

>demon blood

That's not how Tieflings work anymore, it hasn't been for two editions.

>>44968864

Though that was also the deal with Half-Elves - they're supposed to be so ronly due to being outcasts among both human and elven cultures.

>>44968790
Tieflings look way cooler. I mean, dat horns, 10/10 would rub.
Serious answer, clearly there are more people who like tieflings than aasimar. In some measure, yes, it is actually because they lend themselves to the edgy side of the Force roleplay.
My personal two cents? Angels are damn perfect in every way, or at least supposed to be. Playing a good (since most parties are good or neutral to the very least) Aasimar feels like, so to say, a given. Of course, you are an half angel and as such a paragon of good, nothing to see here: kinda like being a "paladin race", there is a class that does just that and I can gain an interesting backstory if I pick a race that doesn't normally associate with paladins (it takes a good player to play a stereotyped character and actually make it more interesting than even a slight subversion of a trope made by a mediocre player). If you instead choose to be an evil aasimar... it wouldn't BE silly, because fallen angels and all of that, but it implies a seriously evil party, and the game itself leans toward good ones, and face it, most of the times redemption looks cooler than corruption which is my fetish so yeah, don't think I actually endorse that opinion. Now, tieflings are meant to represent the bad side, and they are usually prone to fall into vice- which is something regular human players can relate a bit more with than with being a paragon of good. But, as we said, parties are mostly good so if you choose to be a good tiefling, you got the whole redemption thing going for you, so hey, more points for you, kudos: it is kinda like being Drizzt but not a drow. This can be done well, of course, it all depends on the player, but of course young novice players ARE going to consider playing the brooding half demon who strives to be good
Dunno if I wrote something intelligent, I am pretty drunk but hey, if I wasn't drunk I would have never used my time to type all of this stuff.

>>44969647
That changed in 4e, though I don't know if they kept the change in 5e. Basically, half-elves became well loved by most races for being able to quickly adapt to other cultures and share the best parts of two races.

I prefer how it was done in 3rd, because the biological aspect made a lot of sense for explaining why they didn't fit in with either race.

>>44969668
So basically tieflings are a bit more flexible than the either very good or very bad aasimar? I can understand that.

>>44968790
Because people want to brood and be angsty, while crying prejudice whenever people treat them differently, while also being non-conformist and "badass".

I fucking hate that Tielfings and Dragonborn are "standard" races.

Those make more sense than having the whole biome/Fantasy descritor elf bullshit that goes on. Eldarin were legitimately different in being fae like with mechanics and fluff. Wood elves are good at being in elves in the woods! high elves are good at being elves in high fantasy! Regular elves are good at being regular elves! Dark elves are good at being ow the edge dark! Sea elves are good at being in the sea!

Eldarin could have been their own teleporting Fae bullshit but making new races is always a risk of legitimately wasting money on %s of your book being something players didn't want and you can't follow up with other books to sell to them.

While I agree on principle, why'd a Barkeep be annoyed about an Aasimar?
Jealousy?
Disliking "holier than thou's"?

>>44970054
If people want to do that, they'll do it anyway, with or without tieflings. If you run a humans-only game, they'll still do it, they'll just be that one guy in the black cloak who sits in the corner of every tavern and just broods.

The problem is not with the tieflings or dragonborn, it's with edgelord players.

Travellers are here for today.
A Barkeep has to put up with his regulars for much, much longer.
And nobody wants a reputation as a Dragon-lover, or a pal of the lower depths.

>>44970625
inviting drow into your house is generally followed by 3 to 5 years of torturous slavery in the underdark, followed by a very exiting career as mushroom fertilizer

>>44969976
I usually made jokes about all the half elves out in the world because of stuff like that I was also playing as a drow who was paranoid about all half elves too.

>>44970625
The barkeeper may be thinking about his other patrons - if word got out in a particularly racist community that some ill-liked race was free to drink at Pete's bar, Pete would go out of business.

>>44970639
I'd find it funny if, since aasimar seem to be pretty religious, if they organised their own Prohibition movement.

>>44969428
Noble heroes who are reborn into the world anew with heaven's blessings running in their veins?

A chosen few bloodlines blessed so they may keep the faithful pure and the world safe?

>>44970731
The barkeep is a devil worshipper? Someone should alert the authorities about this.

>>44970733
Aren't there good dragons? The metallics? Also, weren't dragonborn Lawful Good champions of Bahamut in older editions?

Because the draenei were popular at the time.

>>44970790
>I'd find it funny if, since aasimar seem to be pretty religious, if they organised their own Prohibition movement.

>barkeeper serves a drow a drink
>3days later a body is found.
Half the town will suspect the drow.
Barkeep loses 60%of his regulars.

No thanks. Fuck off drow/tiefling fucks.

If you're talking about 5e, >>44969412 is correct. If this is not a suitable answer, it's because denizens of the lower planes, be they devil or demon, love to spread their influence. Nothing does that like a few more tieflings sired to them, through direct encounters or blood contracts. Then there's also the matter of that ancient empire which was once turned all to Asmodean tieflings because of their dealings. Of course, celestials don't put out to mortals nearly as much as their counterparts do.

>>44970808
That's a bit special snowflake-y. The tiefling were descendants of an entire kingdom of devil-worshipers or something - a select few bloodlines of very good heroes is a different story entirely.

A barkeep denying an adventurer service is how villages are eradicated in fire.

Sure it,s not an easy choice of being called a devil lover by the locals, but at least the locals will still be alive by sunrise. Unless they're stupid.

>>44970826
>Aren't there good dragons?
I would imagine that in most settings knowledge of those Good dragons is less prolific than the legends of the horrible murderous fire-breathing assholes who burn villages to the ground, steal all the gold, then kidnap the princess.

>>44970834
>It turns out the drow did not do it, it was a local bigot who was trying to frame the drow

>>44970922
That assumes the Barkeep is meta-aware, and all adventuring parties act like PCs.

>>44970858
adventurers aren't supposed to be normal people though
little bit snowflake-y isn't all that bad, as long as you're not the prettiest kindest aasimar princess in the world you won't look that out of place next to the guy who can tell physics to kiss his nether regions

>>44970937
>the drow however did murder 3 people who pissed him off, he's just also pretty good at covering up his crimes

>>44970948
I'm confused, there are adventuring parties that AREN'T PCs?

I imagine you'd need some degree of sociopathy to be an adventurer in the first place.

>>44970834
Considering most villages have one bar, where are the 60% of the regulars going? Are they building their own bar with blackjack and hookers? Probably not. They're just going to keep going to the one bar but have something to talk about other than the crop failures and mud farming.

>>44968790
Ass-mar are all uptight and wanna wait for marriage.

The tiefling'll give you a handy at day's end to help you unwind if you don't make a big deal out of it.

>>44970625
For the same reason people used to refuse service to blacks and do so when they can get away with it to Muslims now.

>>44971014
if the village is small enough there's only one bar its small enough everyone knows eachother

you really want to be that guy everyone looks funny at in a close village?

>>44970922
Adventurers burning villages, is what brings out the big NPC hunters/champions.

>>44971016
>Think you could use your mouth?
>Don't push it. Only reason I'm going this far is...becauseyou'rekindofcute.
>What?
>Nothing. Just don't ask to hold hands again, it's embarrassing.

>>44970458
The one time I was gonna play tiefling, I was gonna say he wore a hood to hide his horns and kept his tail inside his robe at all times, and If I got discovered, accept the consequences.
Also none of my GMs so far has done racism or distrust towards PCs, closest thing was a man being really surprised at the sight of my Genasi, and on that same game, the bar owner was like
>nah we get dragonborn at least once a week, now genasi are rare

>>44971014
They wait.
Then get mad because they can't drink.
Then blame the barkeep.
Bust in, rough him up. Run him out of town.
Next NPC takes over the pub.

>Resolves immediately to teach them that faith should bring joy, starting by bringing booze back to the town.
>We go the Lord of the city's manor, and tell him he should legalize alcohol.
>He sarcastically tells us that if we can get 10,000 signatures on a petition, out of the very anti-alcohol bunch of holier-than-thous, we'll allow it.
>We thank him for his time and head outside the city to discuss our plans.
>Samurai has the ability to once a day "Speak with Ancestors", allowing him to speak with either his ancestors, or those of anyone within the range of the ability.
>I am an Aasimar
>Moments later the party is prostrate as the shimmering illusion of a Solar stands before us.
>After a short discussion, Alexander is able to convince his mighty patriarch of the rightness of their cause, and the thrice-righteous Metatron informs us he will open a Gate to our location and send us some supplies.
>Armed with enough celestial wine to drown in, and literal manna from heaven, we give praise to the gods as we begin preparing for the biggest, baddest, most indulgent party these people had ever seen.

>>44971536
Yeah, but just as Tieflings became the descendants of an empire that sold it's soul, you could refluff Aasimars as descended from great heroes who received the blessing of Heaven.

Every story has some Chosen One running around. If there can be a whole race of Fausts, then there can be a whole race of Aragorns.

This honestly isn't that far off what I think is the big reason. Horns and a forked/pointed tail is a lot more distinctive than human but with flawless skin/golden eyes/whatever it is that aasimar are supposed to have. Visual distinctiveness is the reason.

This, exactly. I just hosted a D&D 5e Campaign, where I pulled out the 1st edition module for Keep on the Borderlands.

One player wanted to be a tiefling.
One wanted to be an aesimar
One wanted to be a dragonborn.
> "BUT DEY IN DA BOOK" was their response

Eventually I caved on the tiefling, mostly just because they're cool and have been around since longer than I've been on this earth. But I put my foot down on the rest of the bullshit, and told them, "Core rulebook only for all content".

Later the player started getting annoyed because nobody acknowledged his attempts at being edgy, and the campaign didn't involve much roleplaying. It was all fun and games though until I switched their pawns over to the map for the Caves of Chaos, and read them the description. It was made even better because Fog of War was enabled, and I had geometry-revealed only the canyon itself with just the cave entrances outlined as being visible. The whole party collectively shitted themselves.

>>44972270

>sending bounty hunters after adventurers
they're prepared for all manner of combat, its likely those jackasses are either plain better than your bounty hunters or else have a way out

what you do is inform every thieves guild in the world any item stolen from the PC's will be bought by the crown at double market value, this includes any currency they may possess

combat might excite them but their shiny trinkets going missing one by one most certainly will not

I was just talking to my buddy about how if my rogue ever dies (aka never) my next character will be a huge seven foot whatever tiefling fighter with big ass horns a huge mustache named Devil Man Randy Savage. Pic not related

Equal rights for devil men!

>>44972711
But then the PC's retire as traveling salesmen, selling things to thieves who then sell it to the crown. It's a lot safer for the thieves then having to risk fighting adventurers if caught, and everyone gets a hefty cash payout.

>>44972525
>friendly
That description of the barkeep's reaction after the diplomacy roll didn't sound friendly in the slightest, it was just barely tolerance.

>>44972711
>>44972757
The other thing you can do is outlaw anyone from buying any items from the party, punishable by destitution and imprisonment.

You can also team those bounty hunters up with a pack of trained Rust Monsters.

>>44973099
It is bad GMing, but we're discussing 'King Practical Meta-Knowledge deals with adventurers'

The point is, players underestimate those in power and assume they are the only ones with lots of magic and good stats. Any king who lives in a world where murderhobos happen will have that of this beforehand.

Tieflings were at their red skinned babest back in 2e, but they weren't all red skinned babes then.

>>44973184
There's a difference between consequences and "Imma gonna getcha fucks"

>>44972777

We assume Unfriendly due to the fact the barkeep isn't pointing a crossbow across the bar.

DC 15 reaches indifferent; Enough to exchange goods for services.

Applying bluff style circumstances to a short term diplomacy action, I take off 5 for "Target wants to believe you": Because he targeted the innkeeper at his weakest point: His gold is good, and he doesn't see gold often.

I then shave off 5 for "risk"; He's willing to be stubborn if the Drow was alone, but he's got 3-5 other dangerous looking companions... It's not like he could have the regulars bounce the whole group.

DC 5 is perfectly reasonable to have an innkeeper decide to put his ego aside so he can get rich. (Because seriously, PCS always just start throwing gold because fuck tracking SP).

>>44973248
Damn but they WERE babes

>>44973248
Ah, true. I just default to the random tables.

>>44973254

>>44972569
>>44972511

>>44972240

the tieflings were the old tieflings before a gathering of warlocks (13 of them i think) made a deal with the asmodeus that made all tieflings into devilspawn, however i am not sure if all tieflings are devilspawn or if some are still deamonspawn... of the warlocks that made the pact it is mentioned that a few could not be told form normal humans at a glance and one of them had his hands on upside-down

>>44973457
I'm not calling foul, I'm playing the same meta game the gm is. Don't start crying when your personal vendetta fails.

>>44973457
13 year olds who are used to shit video game AI and don't think their DMs are people

>>44973457
Because it usually involves the whole wolrd turning into a hivemind intent of fucking the players over. Not even the PCs, the players

>>44973506
Peasant Cannon doesn't even work that way, it doesn't work at all.

And it's not like the NPCs are doing anything the PCs can't do.

>>44973397
Which is precisely why I used it as the DM in a campaign once. Where the BBEG lich used it to make a "Skellyman Email Service", which transfers letters between his lich tower at near the speed of light. The party thought it was a hilarious thing to mess with, because I actually wrote out a COMPLEX series of routing systems for it, with 4x4 blocks of skeletons composing simple IO units to handle routing information so that letters can be sent reliably to a specific destination, even given ridiculous volume of goods being transfered from all the towers.

They actually found the routing station at some point, and they all shit themselves when they found that there were over 400 skeletons in a courtyard all doing 'seemingly random' waves with their hands.

>>44973444
I'm more of a 4e guy, but I like the fact you can basically make a tiefling that looks identical to Nightcrawler.

>>44973563
reminds me of the shared torture communication system.

>>44973506
No one is mentioning players except you. We're talking about how NPC rulers deal with Murderhobos in setting.

>>44973298

No. Because you're an moron if you think that the innkeeper is going to refuse to serve an adventurer because he's a dark elf.

The man walked in and whopped the equivalent of 5 grand on the bar... And asked for a beer.

I don't know about you, but I don't think the barkeep has a will save high enough for that opportunity.

>>44973370

RAW on a 20, including modifiers puts the Drow into the "Friendly" bracket.

He needed to "roll" a 30 to get to "Helpful" on that bracket, and probably quite a bit more for "Come over and fuck my daughter"

>>44973620
No, you're going on about how shitty gm's try and cuck their players.

It would be fun to play a Aasimar whose traits made people assume he was a Tiefling

>>44973742
It's literally "I don't like what you're playing so everyone is going out of their way to hate you and if you do anything about it, literally the entire world drops everything and tries to kill you."

>>44973772
Is it the tables, or the fact that most of the Aasimar side effects are positive?

>>44973620
I guess only PCs have magic, items, weapons, skill, feats, money.

NPCs are all dirt poor farmers who quiver in fear of PCs. Even kings.

>>44973798
Its more like..
"How does the fantasy king respond to a pack of evil psychos running around burning his villages down"

>>44973798
This is precisely what the module I'm running says to do if any of the party members are stupid. It's Keep on the Borderlands 1st edition, and the keep is supposed to be a completely safe base of operations for the party. Yet if they act stupid and try to steal or kill anyone in the fort, the whole damn place comes down on the party.

And they're not helpless NPC's either. Nearly all of the shopkeepers are either retired adventurers(Which more DM's need to do, it's absolutely hilarious), or novice hedge mages with Sleep and other Save/Lose spells. And the Corporal of the Watch is level 7.

>>44973933
You're just a bad gm anon, stop trying to convince everyone otherwise. Considering your first response was "well we have to kill them" instead of a trial and prison, says a lot about the type of GM you are.

>>44973997
By sending out Berric Dondarrion and a few good men?

>>44972569
>dunmer are jews
They share literally 0 common traits. Khajiit would be closer, though they're based more on gypsies.

>>44974075
Anon, I'm not a GM. What made you think I was?
>trial and prison
Do you even medieval monarchy?
Besides, this whole thing got started with the players burning down and murdering a whole town because they weren't served drinks. The people are not going to care if they get a fair trial.

>>44974075
To be fair here, "prison" part was rather seldom used in medieval Europe (pretty much only if you could ransom you prisoner or a as an intermediate stage). So it would be more like "trial and execute... or just execute if there's no choice"

Slightly unrelated but when did minotaurs become noble savages?

>>44974075
A trial?

Sure for some minor thing.

Burning down and slaughtering a village?

Do invading orcs and goblins get trials?
Monsters won't get a trial..and horned demonic looking fucks won't either.

Because the emphasis is on retired. The whole point of the keep was literally to serve as a base of operations for adventurers going out into the borderlands to slay monsters and acquire delicious loot. It's setup for adventures into the Caves of Chaos.

What? Dunmer are well known as the Jews.

They split from the Aldmer when their Prophet, Veloth told them of the power of their God. The Aldmer summoned up their God against the Chimer, but Veloth proved his God's superiority when his God ate the opposing God. He then led the tribes on a pilgrimage to their promised land, Morrowind.
Unlike the other Elves that hate Lorkhan, they consider him a opposing figure that exists to test them and make them prove their devotion and worthiness for their Gods.

At the time of the game Morrowind, times were hard in the Dunmer promised land. Their promised land was under occupation by the Romans and the various Pharisees and the Sadducees work for control, while the Zealots work fanatically against the Imperial occupation.

In their myths, there is said to be the return of a Neremessiahvarine, who will drive the Goyim from Morrowind and restore them to greatness, bringing back the lineage of their Hortator, King David. Of course, The Jesusvarine didn't really bring about these goals in the way the Dunmar hoped.

And then we come to the present day. the Jewmers are driven out of their promised land and their diaspora has them living in Ghettos, still adjusting to post-Temple Judaism.

Tieflings aren't monsters, they're in the phb.

>>44974589

Tieflings are not uncommon enough for people to not know what they are. While people are a bit iffy about them, it's a stretch to go 'They are hated everywhere and people will go for the noose as soon as possible'

99% of Tieflings are just ordinary people in ordinary towns.

At least, if we are talking 4e Tieflings.

>>44974894
The ancient hebrews were polytheistic as well.

And for the Dunmer, especially at that early point, Boethiah is their God. He's the one they put above all others in their early myths. They even attribute some stuff they get from Azura to Boethiah too.

>>44974936
Well that wasn't what we were talking about at all in the slightest.

No such thing.

Then cry if there are consequences.

>>44974517
The biggest tip off though is that the Devs said during the devlopment of Morrowind that the Dunmer people were being inspired by the ancient Isrealites, much like how the Ancient Imperials are the Romans occupying Israel.

>>44974894
You're really stretching there, anon.

>>44974943
Just having them as a barkeep or shop owner was jarring after so many years of them being the other in every campaign world. I wouldn't have minded if they were a choice for players, but having them show up with the same frequency as Elves or Halflings was bizarre.

>>44974894
>That is patently untrue, the dunmer have reclaimed all of morrowind except for part of the blackmarsh border

Anon, the Jews owned slaves too.

According to the Hebrew Bible, non-Hebrew slaves were drawn primarily from the neighboring Canaanite nations, and religious justification was provided for the enslavement of these neighbors: the rules governing Canaanites was based on a curse aimed at Canaan, a son of Ham, but in later eras the Canaanite slavery laws were stretched to apply to all non-Hebrew slaves.

The laws governing non-Hebrew slaves were more harsh than those governing Hebrew slaves: non-Hebrew slaves could be owned permanently, and bequeathed to the owner's children.

>>44975179
The game Morrowind is basically Israel and the Nerevar is Jesus. They're not even coy about it, the Imperials are Roman as fuck.

If you were the king and had wizards at your disposal why wouldn't you use speak with dead and scrying to find out who burnt down an entire village? Seriously?

>>44975743
>who told the king it was the PCs that murdered the whole town?
PCs capable of killing a whole town of people would probably be of some note. Also, the original situation was that they were adventurers known to the king from prior dealings
>Did the PCs tell everyone their name?
Again, probably well known. And most players are pretty open about bragging and spreading their names and deeds.
>Would survivors accounts accurately portray the PCs or would they be bandits or a drow raiding party or some shit like that
Considering the racial make up of most parties, it wouldn't be so hard to find them. In the situation, one of them was a tiefling.
>Or are wizards going around scrying and speaking with dead at every burnt husk of a village?
Have you ever played a Wizard?

Besides, all of this is solved by a few Divination spells.

>>44975877

I thought the minotaurs of Krynn were just lawful evil instead of chaotic evil.

>>44975832
The players didn't save the village, they were just there to get a drink.

And allowing a whole town to be slaughtered because they're salty about a single racist is kind of a dick move.

>>44975829
Mythically yes, culurally no. Please tell me about the jewish war wizards, with their mushroom houses and giant insect beasts of burden. Tell me of their demonic gods, how those selfsame gods cursed them. Tell me of the jews volcanic strongholds and their secret tradition of shaping bone and chitin into tools.

>>44975907
See! Kings are poor. Have no mages in service.

>>44975907
You're assuming that only the PCs have access to that sort of magic.

>>44975986

No, its exactly what the type of player that plays a tiefling would do.

Edgy. Little. Twats.

>>44976018
Are mages a dime a dozen in your setting? Disgusting.

I'm not denying that they took inspiration from israelites, but they took from a lot of other civilizations too, and I guess that I got a little butthurt that people where reducing my favorite fantasy race so hamfistedly.

>>44976078

And here we have a supermassive cunt of a DM

>>44976085
Yes. A mage on every corner.
A burned village on every corner.

Very full corners.

>>44976105
Nah, they're clearly the Jewish analogue in Tamriel. Sure they have some cool originality but they're more Jews than anything else, by a long way.

>>44976085
Anything players can do an NPC should be able to and vice-versa. They're built using the same rules, so I don't see why they wouldn't be allowed to make the same tactical choices.

>>44975893
>>44976105

>>44974517
They have vague Hebraic influence, but insisting they're inherently the same is just absurd. They're also very heavily influenced by Mesopotamian and Egyptian traits.

The naming scheam, ancestor worship, and multitude of idolistic spirits or Saints worshiped lends to this train of thought, as does the importance of burial rights and sanctity of familial tombs

Suggesting that the dunmer are wholesale Hebrew analogs is like saying the Imperials are Roman, although the fact that Bethesda decided to ignore everything interesting about them in the lore and go HURR DURR EVIL ROMANS GONNA TAKE UR SWEETROLLS LEL might lend to that school of though.

No, you're sperging out like a god damn autismo.

>>44975881
Then why doesn't the King summon them before him and say
"Listen I don't want to waste time and money trying to kill you assholes, and I suppose it would get inconvenient for you if I kept trying. So, you slaughtered an entire village of racist fuckwits and as the king of this realm, I banish you from the kingdom on pain of death. You will have a week to get outside of the border, and there just happens to be a ship sailing to King Jerkface's kingdom tonight. I suggest you be on it."

>>44971899
a King's entire job is to antagonize murderous psychos, brah.

>>44976167
Well, if you have an awful setting. I don't allow PCs to use magic classes at all and NPC mages are like one in a generation.

>>44976186
>Suggesting that the dunmer are wholesale Hebrew analogs is like saying the Imperials are Roman.

That is exactly what we're saying. The Imperials have been Roman ever since Morrowind. The Imperials are Roman in the same way the Dunmer are Jewish.

>>44976186
I think there is some Japan in there too, katanas aside.

>>44975986
No one else in the bar stood up to the racist bartender
If they don't want to serve your kind, just leave the town peacefully and let whatever fate that wouldn't have befallen it if it had some happy adventurers in it come to pass

so the king doesn't have 150 gp to pay a cleric for speak with dead? Find that hard to believe. Specially when any good aligned church would be happy to help find out who was responsible for killings, so that the right people were punished instead of heaping the blame onto a third party for no reason.

>>44976202
That would be handling the situation like a reasonable adult human being. Obviously it's not the way the kind of DMs that come to /tg/ could ever do it

>>44976279
>allowing PC classes for NPCs

>>44976246
No, the Imperials were originally influenced heavily by Japan and Vietnamese folklore, with Roman aesthetics and naming. The Romanization (I assume that's a word) only came as a result of Todd deciding that he wanted fantasy Europe instead of an original setting. Hell, the guards in Morrowind even mention Cyrodill being a jungle.

Also, how many jews practice ancestor worship, practice at mounted combat, and have a government controlled by noble houses? MK even said that they were infuinced mostly by Mesopotamia and nomadic Native Americans tribes.

>>44976279
Ok, which charred corpse are you going to talk to and what if the adventurers destroy the mouth of the corpse?
Unless of course the wizards and clerics magicy magic magic IT WAS THE PCS!!!!!!!!!!

>>44976202
That's a possibility too, but then if the players are that kind of murderhobo then they may just choose to kill the king who is right in front of him and take all his stuff.

To get right to the chase, he may do that exact thing, but do it through a messenger or magical communication, giving them a week to get out before he starts sending death squads after them.

Still, someone may have to pay for those deaths and being so lenient may not be a popular choice.

>>44976348
>racist, therefore evil
That's not how it works. In fact, it's the other way around

>>44974517
Before Morrowind they were just Drow. After Morrowind, they were just Jewish Drow.

>>44976202
Um...
Because he can kill them. He doesn't need yo bargain with murderous monsters. Why would he?

Obey the law, or face the consequences.

Why is that difficult for you faggots to understand?

>>44976401
>racism is lawful good
Not in any setting ever conceived anon.

>>44976384
>No, the Imperials were originally influenced heavily by Japan and Vietnamese folklore
Could you explain this? I'm genuinely interested.

>>44976237
He's dealt with murderhobos before. He knows what to do.

That's why he's the king.

>>44976453
In real life

>>44976319
>mass murder
>um...leave by next week
>reasonable

Wut?

>>44976241
Those are stipulation that weren't in play at the start of the scenario.

If that is the case, then the king would probably have to employ investigators or bounty hunters to find out who did the killing. Still, rumors of powerful warriors in the area of the slaughter would be easy to find out.

But if mages are one in a generation, who else would the only mage work for but the king of the realm? The king would probably have him on retainer for situations just like this.

>>44975764
Yeah this is the part I really don't understand

>>44976248
Yeah with the clans and all that
>>44976359
Is it really that weird to try and correct someone when it comes to something you are invested in?
>>44976246
Not really, although you would only know that if you went full lore neckbeard

>>44976384
Jewish ancestor Reverence was very high. Lineage was important, and Jews still name each other after their relatives.
In ancient times, the Israelite did engage in ancestor cults.

The "noble houses" are the different factions in Israel, such as the Zealots, the Pharisees and the Sadducee.

I don't know who to reply to anymore, so I'll just get my point across.

Yes, their place within the scope of Tamriel is analogous to the Jews, but I wouldn't write them off as "Just Jews".
There's a heavy influence of a bunch of different culture and a bunch of different ideas in there to say they are "Only Jews". You may as well say that they're "Only bug-eaters" because their society heavily relies on them.

>>44976526
>But if mages are one in a generation, who else would the only mage work for but the king of the realm?
Who Merlin, son of Satan worked for? Himself and used Arthur and his dunces as needed

>>44973343
Neither of those work, meta or no. You can't snowcast and energy substitute, because metamagic has to be prepared before the spell is cast, and before the spell is cast its not [cold] so you can't snowcast it, which means no damage, which means no explosive, which means no nuke.

And the peasant railgun is stupid, too. Not only does the book specifically note that free actions only go so far, it also explicitly "puts it into their possession" not moves it through the air at constant velocity. If you're gonna be an autist, don't suck at it.

>>44976460
The old concept for Cyrodill was it to be a swampy jungle region with two major racial gropes, the Nibanese, more rural, tribe like, Imperials noted for being stronger and more traditional, and the Colovians, a sort of like feudal manor-lords. In addition to this, the region was supposed to have a much more diverse aesthetic, with notable Asian influence and large ivory-like channels and bridges. Other than that, we only know the bits from the Pocket Guide V1 and some of the stuff MK has mentioned.

>>44976263
Still kind of a dick move with possible alignment issues, if you use those rules.

I wouldn't be calling them heroes after that either.

>>44976397
True on that first point and the second, though I do enjoy the thought of the King just sending them to be his enemy's problem
For someone having to pay for the crime, blame it on bandits in the area, lord knows they've probably done enough
If there's a noble who's giving you a lot of trouble, dredge up a connection between him and the PCs and you can accuse him of sending the party to slaughter villages in a rival noble's territory.
Take his estate itself, give a section of the land to the 'bereaved' noble to get his support and divvy up the rest among your loyal subjects. That way, you dealt with a noble who would have been a problem down the line, PCs are muderhoboing through a rival kingdom and you can say "I don't how they got there", and you might have earned a new loyal subject.

>>44976348
>racist automatically means you're evil
Paizo dev, pls go and stay go.

>>44976576
But they didn't worship they ancestors, nor did they pray to idols. Those factions also don't form direct analogs, save for perhaps the Zealots slightly lining up with House Indronil.

>>44976544
>Not really

Sorry, but Imperials are Roman as fuck in Morrowind. Maybe not in Redguard, but by the time Morrowind rolled around they were already super-Romans. There's still the jungle and China there, but they were already mostly Romans. It grew from there.

>>44976384
>Imperials
>Japan

Not really. China is closer.

>>44976428
Because he doesn't waste the time or resources it would take to kill them
>The Prince is a level 20 Wizard :^)
>So is the King :^)
>So is everyone else :^)
Then why do they even need adventurers?

>>44976595
No one would.

They're full out evil at that point.

>>44973558

Sounds like these hypothetical players not only covered every base but were pretty horrible people.

>>44976592
I knew about the Cyrodiil jungle thing, it's a shame we didn't get to see that stuff.

>>44976394
They'll probably be able to find atleast one intact skull. Most pc's don't think to take the jaw bones off the corpses. That's not to say it won't take a decent amount of effort to dig through all the ashes. It is doable. though.

>>44976650

Just proves the barkeep was correct in not serving their kind.

>>44976595
Whatever floats your stoat as long as not every NPC automatically knows about it and treats them like some kind of monster.
And I would definitely be shitting on them while the describing the village being raided if I was GM'ing, I wouldn't blame them, but I would make clear just how fucked up this is.

>The belief in the continuing presence of the dead and their and influence on the living has been, in different forms, a feature of Jewish belief from earliest times. This has led to venerating the ancestral dead, and even cults dedicated to them. The Bible itself refers to such practices as ensuring the dead are gathered together with the clan on ancestral land (Gen. 50:24-25), caring for the dead spirits (Deut. 26:14; Isa. 57:6), and consulting them for occult knowledge (Deut. 18:11; Isa. 8:19-22; 19:3; I Sam. 28:3-25).

>It is clear that ancient Israel venerated its dead (Deut. 10:15). Many scholars also believe that the Children of Israel inherited a cult of the ancestral dead, possibly even deified dead, from their Semitic milieu and that it remained a popular belief among Israelites despite the opposition of the Prophets.The burial places of Judges and Rachel may have served as shrine/oracles (Judges 8:30-32, 10:1-15; 12:7-15; Sam. 10:2; Jer. 31:15).
