So /tg/, what comes into your head more often when you think

A Super-quick striking lightning fast guy, chaining up strikes in a fluid dance.

Is that an actual game or just a little animation?

>>54253104
Pretty sure it's just an animation.

>>54253065
Not quite either. Something in between. The quintessential fighter is I guess kinda like the Hound. Big, tough, strong, and faster than you might expect. Not a tank, but can take a lot of punishment.

>>54253104
It was a game under development by hopoo (deadbolt, risk of rain) but he didn't know how to make it fun and dropped it.

>>54253065
An armoured brawler, either a knight or a mercenary who knows their limitations and can think outside of the box.

>>54253085
Choice of Armor and weapon are completely dependant on the fighting style.

But in a World where Magic and Giant fuckoff monsters are running around, the most important thing is to dodge the dragons Breath/Claw and stab the wizard before he stopped uttering chants

>>54253121
The Hound is very fucking heavily armored though. I mean, when he's not slinging it with a woodcutting axe in his pajamas.

>>54253124
Damn, Risk of Rain has a really nice style. Would have loved to see a full fantasy game by them.

A lame, nonmagical weakling that I can take out with a single spell of my choice.

>>54253204
You were bullied a lot in school, weren't you

>>54254051
He's still being bullied even today.

>>54253065
I think of knights, usually. It varies depending on how solid my concept of their personality is.

>>54253065
Yes.

>>54253065

Someone who isn't smart enough to play a full spellcaster. Which is forgivable if they're totally new to RPGs, but completely inexcusable if they've been through a single campaign or have ever played an RPG video game or have ever read the internet.

There's no excuse for a knowledgeable player wasting everyone else's time by playing a martial.

>>54257084
What's inexcusable is how fucking torn open your butthole is.

>>54257084
Or maybe they've learned to not play D&D.

>>54257084

You're assuming that 3rd edition dnd and its derivatives encompass all of roleplaying.

>>54257108

It's not like any other games are at all important.

>>54257252

For all practical purposes, they do. Otherwise we wouldn't constantly be getting 3.5-inspired caster supremacy/martial inferiority threads a decade after 3.5 became a dead game.

>my game of choice is most famous, therefor better and more relevant than anything else.

>>54257084
I thought I told you to put up a trip, you defeatist dog.
