What characters are indisputably the best at what they do by class? If Carmen San Diego is the best Thief, then who is the best Warrior, Wizard, etc.?
>>
>>54712440
Fighter: Conan
Magic User: Merlin
Thief: Robin Hood
There is no archetypal cleric, because the figures or real religion muddle the mixture of popular consciousness

This list is objectively correct

Robin Hood is a famous thief. He isn't the best thief. He's not even in the running. The most he ever stole was, like, a lot of gold.

Carmen Sandiego has, as one of her least impressive accomplishments, stolen THE MOON.

We would have to determine what 'Best' means.
Most accomplished?
Most famous?
Are we including pop culture?
Are we including deity level characters?
Or are we just picking someone who embodies the archetype and may not be the most famous or accomplished?

Archetypal and best are not synonymous.

Cleric, probably 15th level, probably with the Weather domain. Hang on, let me reach back in time to 2013...

Ever notice how all of Jesus' miracles that don't involve healing, involve water in some way?
>>
>>54712552
Clerics were originally made because someone in Arneson's group wanted to be a vampire hunter if I recall correctly. So archetypally it's probably Van Helsing. If we're talking about a holy warrior in general and ignoring paladins, probably any amount of christian saints like Saint George or Saint James when conceived by the Spanish as Santiago Matamoros

For Gru, stealing the Moon was the dream of a lifetime, a project he had spent years working towards.

For Carmen, it was Tuesday.

Meh.
Gutz barely cuts it when true demons and Gods show up to a fight.
Conan treats it like "Just another Thursday"

Not sure I'd want to say Conan is "The best" just yet, but Gutz is actually probably first cut from this running.
>>
>>54712981
in his defense, he had to fight through quite a few armies of mudslimes on his way there. The "shortest path" was to topple a couple civilizations who had many many more times the number of fighters than the jews had.

>>54712963
Alright so which of the half dozen biblical figures you listed is the archetypal cleric?
It can't be all of them

You missed the part where I said it was precisely because of real world religion that one couldn't exist. You've just sort of proved my point.
>>
>>54712981
>Dude wandered in a desert for 40 years and didn't even actually reach the Land of Milk and Honey himself.

If you actually read the bible, that has much less to do with Moses's ability as it does with shit God said they had to do.

Wandering for 40 years was so the generation would turn over and all the older people who still had slave mentalities and were saying "go back to Egypt" would die off.

Not getting in himself was punishment from God for disobeying him and trying to look good.

It's either Moses or Jesus, depending on if you think Jesus can count as a Cleric or if his more direct connection means cheating.

>>54713056
Moses is probably the most iconic. When I think "THE Cleric", I think of this guy.
>>
>>54713161
Pretty sure Jesus was either the DMPC Cleric with additional abilities thrown in at the DM's whim with super fudged rolls or the character of the DM's girlfriend using some OPplznerf homebrew class.
>>
>>54713047
That was after the 40 years actually.

The 40 years happened because Moses sent 10 spies to scout out the promised land, who then came back and said that the people living there were giants and they had no hope of defeating them and should probably just head back to Egypt.

Everyone heard that and freaked out and a lot of them wanted to turn back. God got pissed and killed all the spies and their families and commanded everyone to wander in the desert until everyone that had been born in Egypt had died naturally.

Only 2 of the spies said they should try, Joshua and Caleb, so God spared them and kept them alive until the people were ready to leave the desert.

The 40 years was about getting rid of the Hebrew people's ingrained slave mentality.

Find the path doesn't work if your deity decides the path goes in circles through the desert for a generation.

I chose Gandalf because he mirrors the archetypal wizard, AKA a wizened old man, regardless of whether he is strictly the most powerful spellcaster ever (or a divine being for that matter). I was going to choose Odin for this originally since he was the inspiration for Gandalf, but he's not who comes to mind immediately when I think of the word "wizard"; that will always be Gandalf.

Also I forgot bard, so let's go with Shakespeare.

Druid is probably the most difficult to choose because its modern portrayal is almost entirely made up and its actual historical function is more or less aligned with what we consider a cleric.

Because everyone knows of the medusa (and who killed it) but the Iliad is not required reading in high school.

>>54713948
She said it best in the cartoon

"To take what others have"

It really is as pure as that.

Because the story is about Achilles being a figure of a god-like mindset coming back to humanity. Diomedes was capable, but Achilles is a better character.

>She can steal imaginary concepts
Oh, then it's obvious. I've cracked her case.

She's not a thief, nor is she a demigoddess or whatnot. She's a very high level psyker, able to influence people's minds all around the globe. She doesn't actually steal anything, she just makes people believe she did it. That's how she's able to "steal" imaginary concepts, objects from the past (which would've caused a paradox if it was real), geographical landmarks that can't be hidden anywhere, etc. Think David Copperfield making the Statue of Liberty "disappear", only with less smoke and mirrors, and more mass illusion.

That's... that's not natural selection, then. Really, this is the problem with people somehow creating the term "unfit to survive" out of "survival of the fittest". If something is alive, regardless of its state, then it is BY DEFINITION "fit to survive". This is like saying Newton would be the god of staying on the ground, and viewing ladders and birds as heretical.

I'd nominate Loki as the archetypical druid (with a ton of cross-class skills). Guy was turning into beasts all the fucking time, just look at his kids.

>>54717187
The SCP verse would probably be heaven for her. It's nothing but bizarre conceptual bullshit for her to steal.
>>
>>54717070
That is not the concept. A paladin is about Good and Law. Good first, because the law can be twisted. Carrot is Good with capital G. He believes people are good deep down and people that aren't irredemable feel like that they should attempt to be what he thinks they are.

>>54717108
We never see that darkness, but we do see Vimes darkness. And

Why do you think they have such a secure vault system for a lot of mostly harmeless shit?

>>54717108
Because he has not been pushed.

If Lord Vetinari was a bad man and sent men after Carrot Ironfounderson those men would be cut down and so would the next and the next and the next and he would not stop cutting until he cut the throat of Lord Vetinari and took the Throne of Morpork.

But it has not happened, he has not been put in that situation and probably never would be.

>>54717418
Languages disappear and get forgotten quite often IRL, it's just that usually it's because their last speakers keep dying rather than sudden amnesia.
>>
>>54717282
That's just it, we don't see the darkness but it is mentioned. Vimes benefits from being a more developed character and having the narration often take his perspective, whereas everything related to Carrot goes through Angua.
It's still very unusual for a paladin to execute without trial, especially when it's perfectly possible. He did it in Men at Arms because it was important to keep everyone from knowing he was royal.

Vimes and Carrot are both paladins but very different types. Vimes represents Good, Right, Justice and Order as values tempered in defiance of harsh realities, Carrot represents them as ideals that must elevate reality to a greater standard.
>>

>>54717356
Lord Vetinari is a bad man by his own admission though. Carrot doesn't take the throne because it's implied even he believes people should do the right thing because it's right and not because he's perfect.
My issue is that if you hadn't read Men at Arms, every time Angua mentions it is very confusing. Pratchett seemingly made a deliberate attempt not to write from his p.o.v. Men at Arms onwards.
>>
>>54717538
I read somewhere that Pratchett intended form him to be the main character of the Watch books but Vimes emerged as a more natural one.
>>
>>54717282
>>54717108
My personal headcanon was always that Carrot is a very cunning and pragmatic headologist of Vetinari's level. His naivety and purehearted optimism is a carefully calculated front. He knows he has charisma and knows how to exploit it, and how to exploit people using it. However, he's truly good and wants to do the best for his subjects, friends and loved ones.
>>
>>54717538
>Lord Vetinari is a bad man by his own admission though.

What do you see him do that's 'villainous'? He's a tyrant in that he sees things done with or without consent, though more and more as he grows older he passes actual responsibilities to the guilds and carefully chosen and groomed individuals like Moist or Vimes. The place is peaceful (relatively), safe (again, relatively), prosperous, and just. More than ever before in it's lengthy history, in fact. Things function properly, graft and corruption are cut down to manageable levels, and the power hungry are dealt with according to the law.
>>
>>54717900
>he sees things done with or without consent
That sounds quite villanous already
>>
>>54717657
It feels like Vetinari's end game is to slowly give up all the power he has while pretending that it's concessions that he gave people because he just got tired of their complaining. By the time the whole city is a democracy with an amazing standard of living and clean, peaceful streets, no one will even remember the Shades or the wars and assassinations, and other countries will still stay away because they're scared of him and think he's still in power.

First of, Vorbis is a villain and a tyrant. Vetinari is just a tyrant.
Secondly, Vetinari's opinion of himself is very justified. He had to get a lot of people killed to make things work out for him, even some he killed himself.
Third, the entire point of a city like Ankh-Morpork is that it's non-utopian and self-conflictive to the degree that any other government but tyranny would end in either collapse, stagnation or surrender of all the things that make it great.

>Implying there is any ammunition left unstolen in those weapons
>>
>>54717961
Yeah, that sounds about right. He really wants to do the best for his city, and actually knows how to achieve it. The irony is that he's a villain using villainous methods for a good purpose.
>>

>First of, Vorbis is a villain and a tyrant. Vetinari is just a tyrant.
They're both villains and tyrants, just with different goals and personality traits.

>He had to get a lot of people killed to make things work out for him, even some he killed himself.
And he doesn't have any problems with it, either. That's part of what makes him a villain.

Gawain got his ass beat almost every time he fought someone in Le Morte d'Arthur. Plus the only thing that let him stand up to Lancelot during their final fight was his superstrength, and even then Lancelot stomped him.

Tristram and Lancelot are better candidates for Top Fighter.

Not that a villain protagonist is actually a villain, but Vetinari isn't a fucking protagonist either. He's consistently a tritagonist for the protagonist in the Ankh Morpork novels.
Have you actually read any Discworld or are you just being sanctimonious for no reason?

Um.

But Wizards can do "whatever".

That being said people like Gandalf, Saitama, Dr.Manhatten would most likely be some kind of monster. Not just X with class levels. Saitama would be a plot device and wouldn't have stats at all.

A villain (definition other than one) protagonist isn't necessarily an antagonist. A villain (definition one) is necessarily an antagonist. A villain (definition other than one) doesn't qualify for discussion of a fictional character's characterization due to being imprecise, fallacious and misleading.

Aragorn is the guy the DnD Ranger was named for and he mostly used a sword.

Gandalf being an NPC still doesn't mean he wouldn't be some kind of Outsider like a Solar or something. All monsters are NPC's kinda by definition.
>>54719044
Oh right. I forgot about those since my GM's usually ban wish/equivalents and demiplane creation. And the fact no one really plays to those levels. So I guess you're right.

Then they're undefeatable monsters. I was looking for characters that are the best at what they do even if they break the system to do so since Carmen Sandiego does it effortlessy and no one's refuted her yet.

I'm mainly looking to build a pantheon of honored "mortals" with the selections posted here. If they're overpowered, that's fine. As long as they're the best at they're class.

Gandalf does show some of the powers he posesses. He sets a whole forest on fire on the way to Moria, he fought the Nazgûl with lightning and fire on weathertop, he conjures horses in Rivendels tidal wave. But most of Gandalfs power is in him being what he is. The fact that he is even a match for the Nazgûl (which the others cannot even see when they take their robes off), or that he takes on a balrog on his own already shows that he has great powers.
Also, doesn't the mysteriousnes of Gandalfs powers make him an even more iconic wizard?
>>
>>54718944
Anti-monitor could match him, The Phantom Stranger is possibly more powerful, The Source is most certainly more powerful.
