Have you ever played a character who had autism and/or mental retardation?
>>52269322
I've played OP
Actually, yes. But he didn't start that way.
Mithras Robalias was just a psyker, in the start, but when a loose bolt of warp energy blasted him in the dome after a horrible terrors of the warp episode, his brain was infused with its energies in a way that drove his brain to do the only rational thing: Stop working properly to be spared from the horror. His helmet was the only thing that kept him alive, and was stuck to his head afterwards.
Good thing too, since he was retarded and always smacking it into stuff afterwards. Surprisingly it was all uphill for him after being made literally retarded.
>>52269322
I've played Pathfinder before.
>>52269611
well... clearly the GM could have prevented that if he really wanted. It is his world after all.
So i call bullshit on that story even if its old but nontheless it's hilariosly funny!
>>52269753
No.
>>52269322
Played a half orc eldritch knight with an intelligence of 4.. was pretty great
>>52269322
I played a knight once who got so thoroughly bashed in the head that it resulted in some serious brain damage. That was fun.
People with down's syndrome tend to be charismatic as fuck, they'd make awesome sorcerers.
>>52269873
You're confusing Down's with William's syndrome.
>>52269873
>People with down's syndrome tend to be charismatic as fuck
>>52269931
No, I'm not.
>>52269961
Seriously, how many have you met?
>>52269965
Yes, you are. People with Down's syndrome aren't known to be particularly charismatic. People with William's however are very social and tend to be charismatic.
Also, it's easy to confuse them since facial features can be similar.
>>52269975
I'm a mental health professional.
>>52269753
Have you pathFOUND anything?
>>52269992
I'm a learning disability care worker.
>>52269985
I'm not talking about symptoms of down's syndrome, I'm talking about the personalities of a lot of the people who have it.
>>52269992
Of what clinical grade/speciality? I've met far too many people who think having a job tangentially related to mental health makes them a mental health professional.
>>52270029
Kinda sounds like you have a down syndrome fetish.
>>52270060
Sounds like you have a William's syndrome fetish.
For reals, though; it's not the norm, but when people with down's are on the more outgoing and sociable side, they're extremely good at making friends and getting people to like them. I've met several who'd be powerful sorcerers if D&D was real life.
>>52270091
Okay babycakes
>>52270091
I was mentioning William's syndrome just because pretty much all people with it are very social and make friends easily. It's actually part of diagnostic criteria.
>>52270018
So far, only disappointment.
And Kitsunes.

One of my characters in an M&M game took a crack at designing a sapient artificial intelligence mid-game and installed it onto an android he'd built. It turned out to basically have Asperger's, but was the most advanced AI the world had ever seen regardless. Playing that android as a socially-stunted-but-indestructible sidekick was much more fun than the original character, it turned out.
>>52269322
GO AWAY /V/
>>52270159
I'm pretty sure it was you that turned out to have Assburger's little buddy
>>52269322
Yes, I seem to have a thing for making awkward characters.
>Shadowrun, played an escaped clone genefreak ganger who was so bad at communication, teamwork and any idea of relationships he would, for example, make a plan up, not vocalise it, and just spring it middle of a run
>Dark Heresy, played an ex-Arbitrator who was completely up himself and was pretty socially inept
>D&D5e oneshot, played a complete autism, sexually grope-y hermit monk, walked around naked and used his dick in his fighting style (randomised all the fluffy shit and no joke that's what I got)
>>52269931
>William's syndrome
>googled it
That face has a name other than "what Satan imagines children to look like"?
>>52269322
>when OP makes another thread about a video game on /tg/ but everyone else is sick of it so they all just discuss the placeholder topic instead
>>52270161
>>52269322
Played a rigger with a dumpshock related TBI.
>>52269332
kek
>>52269322
Not strictly, but my current Monk lived the first twenty years of his life in a strict mountain monastery and as such lacked social graces and understanding. He's also kinda dumb.
"Good thinking, [Formerly pretty Bard woman], with all that money you've taken from the dead, you can get cosmetic surgery to heal your horrific facial scarring."
Said completely genuinely with a thumbs up and a smile.
>>52269322
I was going to but the GM had to do other things so the game ended before the character could be introduced.
>>52269349
Honestly the real winners in 40k are people too stupid to understand what's going on
>downies signing pacts with devils, arch feys and untold horrors for magical power
>perfect foot soldiers since it's highly unlikely they would start questioning anything and they would merely act as conduits for the greater being's power
>face PCs with the moral dilemma of fighting retarded children wielding reality rending magic
>spread their master's word through mental hospitals and orphanages
Thanks for the idea, definitely gonna make a plot out of that
>>52269322
Playing as Lupus werewolf (wolf that gained sentience and ability to turn in himan) in WtA game. Roleplay him as severely autistic (done some research no topic). Other players and GM like him. I guess autism is perfect for roleplaying nonhumans trying to integrate in more or less human society.
>>52270489
I think the other players like you and it's you who is autistic
>>52269322
I played a batshit insane girl inspired by pic related.
I haven't played any wizards or barbarians recently so no.
>>52270526
I think you didn't play anything at all and you've got autism.
>>52269611
God I wouldn't even give a shit if I was the "parent" that is just too comical to feel offended.
A kobold dex-barbarian. Little wit, few skills, no damage, but ungodly hard to hit and shrugs it off like nothing when it does. Caution and logic went out the window when raging far below that of even an average 'bold, and the entire duration of rages were spent screeching like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Jm_eUQSYAk
>>52270538
You've got only one of those right.
>>52270526
What's she planning to do with that tape?
>>52270609Solve mysteries.
>>52270644
>>52270562
Autism.
>>52270644
I looked up this series, and am now scouring Boorus for porn of the evil witch lady. Thanks, anon.
>>52270655It only made playing her a lot easier.
>>52270682
>>52270657
OH DESIRE!
>>52270526
You know, when I looked that up, checked the wiki, noticed >>52270526
several relationships described as "furniture" and trivia that said "Duct tape is her greatest weapon", I thought something very different from what that term apparently means in the series
>>52270091
Dont know dude, some I knew on school hated everything and without a joke ended looking like lonely gnomes. But h buthe rest could be called charismatic, the only problen they had is that they ended trying to get their way on things they werent called for using their problen as a reason. It was a moxed school.
I just rolled a Elf ranger last week that has 7 INT and 6 Charisma but fuckhigh wisdom. I'm gonna make it entertaining.
