University or Peacekeepers. Probably.

>>49053610
Depends on what society models they're running. Lal might be running a fundamentalist planned economy prizing Power and using Thought Control, while Santiago might be running a Democratic Green Economy prizing Knowledge via Eduaimonia. So "it depends".

Free Drones, if you're not too averse to labor. Not too bad on an ideological level either, pretty much a working man's democratic socialism

You would just wait for modernity? Why?

I'd probably set up a jewelers that specializes in gilding things through electrolysis, with a side business of producing card games. Put my feet up and chill for the rest of my extended life.

Reminder that Jaina tried the most to have peace.

Here's mine for an example

11 Strength
13 Dexterity
13 Constitution
16 Intelligence
6 Wisdom
14 Charisma

I'd either be a Wizard or Bard. Wizard would probably be the best choice but I'm a big fan of the idea of music having magical effects so I'd probably be bard

I'm a little fucked in the braincase, and a terrible little manlet of a human. I'm also the guy who put all his skill points into Appraise, Knowledge (Engineering) and Profession (Economist).

Commoner 10.
The most overpowered class in D&D 3.5e.

why don't people like Rangers?
They seem REALLY fun

>>49051574
Hunter is fine.

People just dont like beastmaster because it falls off in the usefulness pretty hard and the pet is easy to kill.

Ranger however has a lot of skills that require the DM to play to them. IE: if youre favored terrain is desert, and the dm constantly sends you to the tundra youre fucked.

>>49051617
For what reason does the animal companion not work like animate dead in combat?

They might as well be turned into something interesting. Plus Lovecraft was a huge racist so he'd be pissed and that's hilarious.

Who's the middle one? I don't recognize her

She's the necronomicon from Demon's Bane.

I'm trying to think of something clever with "a pound of flesh" but coming up short.

I haven't been really impressed so far.

First to mourn Forrest's passing.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/16cNZwfDnx6NX3RRpatFtSteWqbfCIFp7E4Lr5yvh32Y/edit?usp=sharing

Ok, did some dicking about with Kitsune Tails. Trying to make them worth taking long term without making them utterly dominating early on.

It's a first draft and feedback is highly appreciated.

>>49050142
Second to mourn Forrest's passing.

>>49049946
>>49050074
Honestly that actually sounds great. Did some digging and then added another age table.

>>49050075
Less so, but yes. Yes.

>>49049430
My summoners become shonen protagonists.

>>49049430
They're still incomprehensible to mind of a commoner. So nothing changes really.
But it makes the incident when one of the PCs tasted angel flesh even more bizarre.

>>49049456
exactly this

I think you're missing the incentive structure that leads to these characters.

In D&D having friends has no upside at all. In other games, social connections often cost considerable amounts of points for what you get. And then DMs find excuses to sideline your NPCs or at least prevent them from solving plot obstacles for you (because it's an "exploit" unlike using other things you spent points on like stats and powers).

OTOH, social liabilities get played up far more often. The DM thinks, "ok, what will make my BBEG that much more horrible? Oh, oh, I know! I'll have it kidnap/threaten/kill a PC's family or dependents! I'll have the ally be bitchy and demanding." IE he'll use the character's backstory to fuck with him.

Worse, DMs often have players RP an encounter, and then use the player's real-life social skill use (the potency of their arguments and their eloquence) instead of the player character's social ability score. Again, you've spent points into a black hole.

So players respond by reducing their target silhouette. No extraneous point expenditures on "fluff" or social powers that they'd get cock blocked from using anyway. No vulnerabilities that a DM can exploit.

It also reduces the PC's investment in his character, if his DM is fond of killing PCs off, and minimizes the amount of RP and backstory creation expected of the player.

Bad ass lone wolf characters are a cliche mostly because players are responding to the incentives the DM gives them.

>>49049562
This anon gets it.

Having a family is not an excuse for your DM to have them killed off or used as a weapon against you, and I'm glad my DM doesn't do this.

>>49049562
>>49050108
This kind of DMing doesn't just result in lone wolves, but murderhobos in general. Players start to realize, "anything I value should be something I can carry at all times".

You seriously never heard of off road cycling? Nor of bicycles predating "proper" roads by about a century?

NIGGER I WAS ABOUT TO GO TO SLEEP

You feel lighter than air as you zip across the sky on the back of your Dark Nimbus Cloud, leaving the high-flying Lookout and impossibly large Korin Tower behind and setting a course for West City.

There's still plenty of time before your date, but it would probably be in your best interest to get home and get ready early, so as to avoid doing anything to hurt your chances when you pop the question to Bulma.

The ring in your hand is beautiful, and quite literally one of a kind, just like the woman you plan on giving it to. Your relationship with her has been a happy one, but you still feel quite nervous at the upcoming moment of truth.

West City does not take long to reach, and you soon disembark from the Nimbus just outside of the Capsule Corporation. Before you even reach the door, its sensors confirm your identity and open for you.

"Welcome, Mr. Tofoo," an automated voice greets as you step inside.

The various machines are hard at work, along with the few human workers that are employed in labor positions.

One of the machines rolls up to you, giving its typical greeting ans asking if there's anything it can help you with.

>A. Ask where Bulma is

>B. Ask what Doctor Briefs is doing

>C. Ask where Lapis is

>D. Ask where Lazuli is

>E. You don't need anything

>F. Ask if Oolong has shown up

>G. Something else

You were right with your first guess.

But some of what he says is good. Like how random encounters should feel like coming across entities who breathe and exist in the world, like they were already there, and not like enemies just popping up to be fought.

Is there nobody who's just as arrogant and obnoxious but with literally ZERO redeeming qualities?

>>49048752
From what I've seen: not really honestly. But that's mostly because "ttrpg youtuber" does not have much competition I find besides actual plays and your standard slew of mediocre review/unboxing videos. The only ones that stand out are him and gentleman gamer, the difference being that gentleman gamer is actually good, if a little pretentious at times.
