It's got ribbing and everything. :p

>>48655371
Yeah sure. Why not?

A paladin isn't just the big guy in plate. He's the fury of mortals against an unjust world given divine blessings.
They can go about that any way they like, so long they still inspire the weak, defeat those who would do innocents harm and smite the evil.

That said, you might want to shop around for a more fitting class and just refluff it as paladin.
No idea what though, but there's bound to be a sneaky divine magic caster somewhere..

>inb4 LE KEK BUT PALADINS DONT STEAL!!!! XDDDDD


Usually a Paladin is a warrior devoted to pursuing the cause of a good deity. There's nothing that says they can't do this using stealth or even subterfuge. If a Paladin is the kind who roots out evil cultists in their city hideouts then being able to pick locks and disarm traps is an advantage. A Paladin might well use stealth and guile to gather information before deciding on a course of action.

If you're in DnD and using alignment, then Lawful Good DOES allow a character to break the law and do shady things, provided they are following a higher authority and are principled about what they do. A Paladin-rogue would probably be following the orders of his church or of a good monarch/lord to whom the Paladin had sworn service, and acting in their interest for a good cause.

>>48655371
Yeah of course, if anything a pally/rogue would have an even greater willpower than a regular pally.
He would infiltrate evil and kill it from the inside, persuade and charm his way through challenges, defend his people through political machinations or assassinations.

Think of Vernon Rouche from the Witcher.

I rep Grove Street IRL

>>48654591
Do you mean like general gangster RPG, or do you want specifically a game set in GTA universe?

I played neither, just wanted to ask.

>>48654826
GTA universe.

>>48654263
Depends of the setting

Read 'The Golden Bough' by Sir James George Frazer. It's an anthrological book from the 1920s that has hundreds of examples of real world magical traditions. As a bonus, it's written in an extremely condescending British Empire style.

Herp, *anthropological

>How many roleplayers do you know?
A shitton. There's my regular group (5), my other group (10)(no we don't play everyone at once), and a bunch of people I don't play with but I know have other groups (about 10 or so). A total of about 25 then, I guess.
>How many of them live near enough to have sessions IRL?
Half of my regular group lives in a neighboring town, but with solid public transport it actually work out for IRL meets anyway. The rest of them live in the same town as me.
>How many of them do you play with on a weekly/bi-weekly basis?
Everyone is way to busy to play this often. My second group tend to play in short burst, where we play every week for about four weeks and then go a couple of months until the next adventure. So, none, I guess.
>How many of them DID you play with on a weekly/bi-weekly basis at some point in time?
Old group, excluding me there were 4 of us back then.
>How many of them are DMs?
Pretty-much always GM? One or two. Occasional GM's? 5-6.

>>48654242
>How many roleplayers do you know?
Several in my area, more from the nearby college town. I'd say around twenty or so altogether I've personally interacted with.
>How many of them live near enough to have sessions IRL?
All of the aforementioned.
>How many of them do you play with on a weekly/bi-weekly basis?
There are two groups I play with consistently, but right now only one has active games I'm a part of so five other players.
>How many of them DID you play with on a weekly/bi-weekly basis at some point in time?
As many as ten between three groups.
>How many of them are DMs?
Three, four including myself.

>How many roleplayers do you know?
Atop of my head, I'd say sixty.
>How many of them live near enough to have sessions IRL?
Forty.
>How many of them do you play with on a weekly/bi-weekly basis?
I had to do some calculations, but I'd say twenty? Maybe a little more.
>How many of them DID you play with on a weekly/bi-weekly basis at some point in time?
All sixty of 'em.
>How many of them are DMs?
About twenty of them. But only seven are regulars.

Gypsy fortuneteller.

Like a Cleric or Druid

Geralf's messenger would be a nice addition

>>48653236
That would be pretty nice. Have to dip my toe into blue anyways, so I could put some bounce cards in along with messengers

>>48653217
a few suggestions from a fellow meatshield enthusiast:

> Endless Ranks of The Dead
> Lich Lord Of Unx
> Gravecrawler
> From Under The Floorboards
> Wight of Precinct 13
> Army of The Damned
> Undead Alchemist
> Altar of The Brood

The last two can combo to provide you with a sizeable horde of 2/2 zombie tokens and mill opponents at the same time

Develop a neocortex so that you actually have some remote chance of understanding basic mammalian concepts like compassion and community.

You're not lonely, you're just pretending you have the capacity to be lonely.

Admit it, OP, you only like her because she's warmer than the surrounding environment.

Option B:
>set during not!colonisation era
>magic is practically unknown to not!Europeans
>all records of dragons, wizards etc. are believed to be fairy tales
>party is in not!Americas
>natives of not!Americas are all fey, dragons, and all other kinds of magical beasts
>party gets payed to gather resources that could help not!Europeans learn magic
>quests are stuff like 'kill the dragon so I can study it's corpse and learn fire magic'
>they'd be given spells learned by the quest giver and magic items appropriate to what they just did
>like the dragon example would give them a bunch of fire spells and armour made from dragon skin on top of money
>all the while not!European powers are colonising the whole place and causing native beasts to lash out
>party gradually uncovers more and more hidden artefacts and ruins of ancient cities
>they eventually find out that beings from another plane almost destroy humanity when it approaches the point of being able to traverse planes
>they don't bother completely wiping us out, just enough to send us back to the stone age
>just so that they don't have to share their plane with humans or bother fighting an adversary that could end up being equally powerful
>the party now needs to destroy magical shit or somehow otherwise stop humanity's knowledge of magic growing
>killing the unknown beings is near impossible
>party has to strike a balance between gaining new shit to help them on their quest but not aiding the growth of magical knowledge far enough to doom humanity
>chances are they're going to fuck it up and get destroyed because they're loot whores

Both sound unappealing honestly, so it's hard to decide. I grudgingly choose A.

>>48653083
I love you sif

>>48653054
So, you just invented the 1st editions of DnD?

>>48653149
Close-ish. I think there are some differences in implementation, in that the earliest versions to use 3x3 alignment indicated, for example, that being Good and being good were exactly coextensive, and I don't think that's necessarily the case.

I would say that most Good people are probably good people, and most Evil people are probably evil, but what if, say, you had a Lawful Evil god who cares only about his own people, and they know he's Evil, but don't actually think he's evil in the moral sense because he's always protected them in exchange for their service? Is everyone who follows him automatically evil, or just Evil in the alignment/allegiance sense?

>>48652527
Because people on this site assume waifu instead of daughteru.

>>48652527
There's many things young girl can be good at.
But conscience is not one of them.

>>48652527
Its because you think you are playing a grizzled mercenary and not just a edgy teen.
>so we won the battle, but what we do with the prisoners?
>Just kill them we can't afford to feed them.
>but senpai chan sama desu, they are just kids like me... nyann

Oh wow, more violence in a game of power fantasies and violence. you are not playing grizzled and there is no contrast.

Constitutional Monarch that still has some influence (Victoria, Edwardian Monarchs) or Frederick the Great/Peter the Great massive reforming, passionate monarchs with absolute power.

Several; ranging from existing monarchies today to autocratic theocratic monarchs who rule vast houses of noble supporters out around Jupiter that arose from the pressures of deep space life and new political/theological ideologies.

>>48652476
Elected monarchs for life
King Washington

>>48652529
Eh, not always so great - ask the >H>R>E about them some time

>>48652476
Constitutional Monarchs are pretty good overall, though there is something to be said for the Absolute Powah of an Absolute Monarch - they can be more interesting/fun, if not actually good.
Monarchs in Space are pretty cool, of pretty much any flavour.

None, because I don't have a setting and don't have a game

>>48652474
Alright op, I'll bite.

This kinda shit makes me wish my group would branch out more.

"Other" is winning, broskis.

lets pretend its D&D so you guys can use or steal whatever you want, because home-brews exist, and D&D is easy to translate. focusing more on the powers in general sense, and working out mechanics after

A wealthy lord who has used his money to arm hordes of troops. Personality wise he seeks challenge and wants to conquer the world to see if he can. Maybe make him something between a Battle master fighter, he can use combat maneuvers, and a Oath breaker paladin.

>>48651999
He is actually grooming the party to become part of his family.
Maybe he disguises as various people giving quests to a party or he actually was a person that send them on a quest to begin with.
Maybe have him trick them near the end into becoming vampires?
Maybe he is leaving this plane and is in search of heir?

Mage the Ascension. Specifically the 20th anniversary edition. The lore and metaphysics are phenomenal and dynamic casting is awesome.

>>48651867

How good is the dynamic casting if it's all a super complicated mess?
