"Hey anon, I know you said you were iffy about monks in your setting but would you be alright if I styled my monk after Greco-Roman Wrestler/Boxers?"
"That sounds fucking cool, of course you can play that!"
>>49264274
So just a grappler?
>>49264274
fuck yea i would be fine with that
bonus points if they be historically accurate in dress and combat preparation. i'll even give you bonuses if you fight naked
No, because the monk class comes prepacked with a grab bag of abilities largely styled after Wuxia films.
>>49264274
As long as you don't go into detail about the size of your genetalia then sure
>>49264274
daily reminder that this is a monk too
>>49264465
Okay, so I have less shit to take off when I get ready for battle and am religious on top of that
>>49264274
"I never said I was iffy and fuck you for trying to force pederasty into my campaign again. I like shota as much as the next anon but save it for when you're alone on second life. Jeez."
>>49264274
Only if you promise to make it less blatantly homoerotic than the source material. I'm not judging or anything but we try to keep games PG13.
No, because Greeks and Romans aren't in my setting either. You could totally be like these Turkish wrestlers though, since we have that vague Middle Eastern part of the setting.

Do you get ki infused Olive oil to soak myself in as I prepare for battle?
>>49264465
>>49264465
mfw I play the Wizard in a party full of martials
Everyone always seem to have some sort of Mongolians in their setting so....
>>49264693
Sure. Gotta keep things balanced, you know. You think I'd let you go out there without it?

Refluff them as Greek heroic traits. Blessings of God's or some such.
>>49264314
What about Cestuses? Would those get any kind of bonus?

Oddly enough, this kind of makes me want to style a monk character after a Sumo wrestler.
It could work out, Sumo started as a religious ceremony...
You know ehat? I would like it if psionic power BS caused Greco-Roman wrestling to happen in a 4e game.
Just refluff some monk powers that restrict movement, and there you go.
>>49265690
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use them like Monk weapons, Is it in 5th ed where you can't enchant your fist like weapons? If so then that would be a logical thing to do would be to allow Cestii or hand wraps or something.
Regardless, I just want my dude to be a roman-esque boxer wearing Ram head shaped Cestus in each hand punching out dudes.
>>49265796
I just want this to happen in general. That sounds awesome.

Roman One Punch Man
Any contact sport is deeply homoerotic by default.
>>49266348
>you will never die in a chokehold in the arms of a roman gladiator
I've absolutely done this, and it was awesome. Marcus Gellius Habitus was he. Charged without hesitation to his foe and immediately grabbed them. Pinned a bear and an ogre.

Guys please. Its already super hot out, I dont need this tonight. Either stop or post source.

He keeps his pretty boy demeanor most of the time, that's why he's the spectators' favorite.
>>49267558
Turkish oil wrestling. It's a legitimate thing, not porn.
>>49267599
>not porn
I disagree.
>>49267558
What seems to be the problem, anon?

>>49267599
It's literally the gayest sport, which is kinda ironic
