How can anyone look at a Half Elf and think race mixing is okay.

Royal Advisers

Don't you have a crude, heavy axe to forge you smelly, hairy cretin?

>>385470569
I DM this mentality. My party has 4 Half elves and elf NPCs shit all over them all the time.

>>385470236
Good video games.

list of bad thing: angry shooty elfs

list of good thing: helpful friendly orc

Why do elves seem to work as multiple variations across every goddamn fantasy medium but dwarfs are practically always the exact same thing everywhere you go?

It's even worse when they're now watered down to being only 0.5% elf but they still act like wannabe's as if it's still 50/50

Yeah I'm looking at you, Bretons. Smarmy little artsy fartsy SJW types.

>>385470994
Sorry, you all look the same to me.

I love the Witcher series because of how oppressed the elves are. Finally a fantasy setting where those tree bastards are in their rightful place

Nah m8, it's only heavy to fairy twinks like you. Prance around like a wee geisha some more little girl.

TES is the only setting where orcs are even remotely interesting besides settings where they're played for comedy

And even then like most things featured in TES games the interesting parts are 100% contained in the background lore, with the stuff you encounter in-game being nothing but watered down generic garbage.

Plus those orcs are elves anyway so...

Gee I wonder who could be behind this post.

aw, little forest man can't hold anything heavier than a curved piece a wood with a string on it? poor lad.

Dwarves. Greedy short smelly slow useless.

Gnomes. Annoying short small int based useless.

Halflings. Annoying short stupid useless.

Yes, very good video game thread, certainly not a general shitposting strawman fantasy thread that has barely anything to do with video games.

Never trust Paladins
One moment you think they're on your side, and the next moment their insane illogical and convoluted morals declare you an enemy

Frogs. Daily reminder the Scorpion did absolutely nothing wrong and is a hero.

Or orc lore in TES is actually kind of heartbreaking

They're home region has been raided & sacked so many times, then any time they moved it just happened again

They just can't catch a break the big daedra worshipping boneheads

Real talk
Serious skeletons or silly skeletons?

>>385471909
That's why you have to develop a keen paladin-sense for the different breeds.

True paladins are defenders and missionaries. They balance strength of arm with a warm and inviting character intended to both set an example and entice new followers.

Crusaders are the psycho zealots consumed with righteous fury. Inquisitor types even moreso.

>>385472324
The second serious thought is applied to skeletons you realise that they should be zombies instead. What use is raising a skeleton when it's got nothing but fragile, crumbly bones to use as opposed to thick, dead flesh to absorb and deliver blows?

Couldn't you make things more efficient by setting every time to 'Crusade against elves'?

>>385472324
I think I prefer skeletons to be basically non-sentient and just controlled by something stronger. Warhammer for example has most skeletons controlled by an necromancer.

>>385472324
It's possible to do both. I ;ve always wated to do a vadiation on a necromancer who wears beight, vibrant colors styled after the Day of the Dead celebration and have him preach the joys of both life and death, and all his skeletal minion buddies could paint themselves in similar colors and just generally be jolly guys and make bone puns every 20 seconds.

well A is that depending on what you're fighting, having a lack of meaty vits can be insanely advantageous (I.e. spear or bow users), and B, the more creative games out there let necromancers make something called Bone horros, which are basically just conglomerates of leftover bones that are noted for being covered in sharp ends thanks to all the snapped ends protruding out and generally being hard to fight considering their anatomy can be fucking all over the place and therefore hard to read. Also Skeletons are clearly more spooky.
