Would you accept this party at your table?

>>96212577 (OP)
no

What system? Cause if it's pic related, there might be some issues.

>>96212577 (OP)
its not mudcore warhammer adjacent chud slop for this board they need to all be white men who hate other races in plate armor. While they then go on and on about how soulless warhammer or DND is now becasue its not made for chuds

>>96212577 (OP)
I don't see any issues.

>>96212613
The pic OP used has the D&D logo, so I'm assuming D&D.

"This is a Call of Cthulhu game, what the hell are these characters? Helping you make new ones will eat into our game time!"

It says the system on the pic
"What system" "Game?" etc posters are literal braindead bugpeople, convinced they're bots paid for by the malicious jannies that are working to destroy this place

No to the legal loli tiefling wizard
and the half-orc barbarian. Tieflings don't exist,
and orcs are a feral humanoid race of cannibals
and as so there are no half-orcs

Weeb-style parties are inherently superior.

>>96212626
>>96212731
I mean, I was HOPING OP would answer, buut sure, I'll presume D&D.

Sure, why not? Doesn't seem like a bad party to me. Most of my players are weeaboos, so I'm already prepared if they want an animoo experience.

>>96212577 (OP)
Depends on the players.

The west has (rightly) abandoned 5eR, so they're trying to revitalize it in Japan, even though Japan is big into OSR and their own home-grown stuff that forked off of B/X like Sword World.

Get this weeb shit out of here.
I only roleplay in generic white fantasy aesthetic.

>>96212577 (OP)
That's no half-orc, it's a Gerudo male. And I don't allow once-in-a-century snowflake characters.

>>96213019
Nose is a little small and skin a little pale to be Mr. Dragmire, but I do see the resemblance, I admit.

>>96212960
It sure as shit ain't going to work for WoTC, but at the very least I'm sure Japan will be too busy in their own games to whinge about freakshit like the westoids here

>>96212960
Sword world doesn’t play anything like B/X and is definitely not OSR. Japan likes Call of Cthulhu and story driven one-shots.

>>96212577 (OP)
If the players are any good then yeah sure

No.
If someone includes "legal loli" in their character description, they're trying to play out a sexual fantasy.

Power to them, but that's not what I DM for. Take your hentai fantasies elsewhere coomer.

>>96212614
correct, now fuck off

I'm currently DMing for two different groups that are all made up of one human and 3 tiny/small freakshit races, it's been entertaining so far.

I accept any group anon I'm desperate for games

>>96212577 (OP)
Sure.

>>96212577 (OP)
I would toss it from orbit with nuclear fire for that prosaic art style alone

>>96212577 (OP)
>legal loli
What exactly do you mean by that?

>>96212577 (OP)
Ok
HOWEVER
We're playing Moldvay 81 D&D so the elf is just an elf, the gnome is a halfling, the tiefling is a magic-user with one (1) randomly rolled spell, and the half-orc is a fighting man. Also, yuo die at 0 hp.

>>96212577 (OP)
1) That's not a wizard, that's a cleric using continual flame on a dagger 2) No, I would boot anyone using "loli" in his character description from my table 3) Everyone else is fine, I guess we're playing a Japanese themed 5e campaign so I'll homebrew bust out the homebrew kit, probably reflavour the half-orc into a half-oni (makes more sense with his appearance anyway)

No, here is where I draw the line.
You want to have your weird goon fantasy? Fine, I don't care.
But own your shit. Don't be a pussy. I'll have NO COWARDS in my table.
You want to fornicate with a crossdresser? I care not, you do you. You want to delude yourself into thinking a man in drag is a woman and you, as a man, aren't gay for fornicating with him?
Ain't no way, you are a coward, that is waht you are, no fucking cowards in my table.

Japanese fantasy characters, but the adventure is still set in small-town Phandalin in the Sword Coast, because that is seemingly where 5e adventures are obligated to take place.

>>96212577 (OP)
Not gonzo enough for my current lewd campaign but maybe next time

Everyone except Th*efling is fine. I ban them at my table.

>>96212577 (OP)
A year ago I wouldn't but I think I'm now an experienced enough DM to run a game for a 5 person party. Also why did you think it necessary to note that the human is male and noble or that the tiefling is a "legal loli?"

Why do white men hate people in plate armor?

Originally "legal loli"/"loli baba" and "oldman shota" witches/wizards were more about being an inversion of the "old man" wizard/"granny" witch archetypes. There was originally nothing sexual about it but it was made fetishy over time to the point the sexual depictions out number the non-sexual version.

>>96214892
Likely to cover their ass. Bishonen (males pretty enough that they can be mistaken as girls) are a popular archetype in Asia but get conflated with crossdressers and transexuals in the west.

>Kozakura is an island country east of Faerun. Tatsuwakamaru was the successor of a prestigious family connected to the Shogun family, but his family was destroyed due to political strife. With the help of a ninja hired by his father and his excellent escape techniques, he escapes from harm, defeats his pursuer, Onikuma, recruits him, and heads for the capital.

>Meanwhile, the hermit Roar Moon sees the shadow of Asmodeus, the Great Demon King of Nine Prisoners, behind the forces targeting Tatsuwakamaru. She joins Tatsuwakamaru with her fellow Shugenja in order to thwart the plot, and attempts to escape to the neighboring country of Wa using the Kozakura portal with him.

>However, as fate would have it, the portal malfunctions, and the group appears far to the west, near Triboa on the mainland of Faerun. After defeating their pursuers, they aim to return to their hometown and begin a new adventure on the Sword Coast――.

>>96212577 (OP)
I will accept literally anything as long as I don't have to run D&D 5E.
To answer your question: Absolutely not, unless the players are willing to convert to another system of my choosing.

>>96212577 (OP)
These are all fine, so long as the "legal loli" is actually a grown girl who happens to be petite rather than some bullshit from a guy who won't own up to his fetish

It means the character is going to be voiced by Aoi Yuuki in the anime adaptation.

>>96215081
>>96214487
The point of the fetish is to have a character that acts the opposite of her appearance.
Like a big amazon woman who is actually a spellcaster and very delicate and gentle.
Or a pure character that dresses like a slut.

Had a game where a guy submitted a legal loli halfling (i.e. a halfling who looked like a human child) but D&D halflings are so short that the only humans they could pass for are toddlers, so the group ended up deciding that she had gigantism.

>>96222213
Actually it takes place in the Sword Coast and the goal is to get back to Forgotten Realms Japan. For some odd reason, WoTC still refuses to touch Kara-Tur or even Oriental Adventures ever again.

How exactly is someone who's 5 feet 5 inches tall considered to be a loli? Napoleon Bonaparte was 5 feet 6 inches (168 cm) tall.

>>96212577 (OP)
How do we even know the tiefling wizard is female? I couldn't find any reference to sex on the sheet. The only reason we know the fighter is male is because the bio of the elf mentions it, but if a character who looks like that can be male, all bets are off.

>>96212577 (OP)
See I was okay with it until you went "legal loli."

Like I'm not out here saying "your tiefling has to have big bozongas." You want to play a washboard? Go for it. But when you start going "legal loli" you're bringing an energy to my game that I do not vibe with.

What's up with Western tabletop game companies suddenly talking an interest in the Eastern markets? You have WoTC creating a Japanese inspired D&D campaign first for their Japanese audiences.

>>96226453
your entire knowledge of the game comes from either 40 years old rulebooks, or (more likely) single paythrough of Baldur's Gate 1

>>96226652
More likely it's just salty OSRfags barging into places they don't belong

>>96221604
It's the samurai armor, the floral patters on the clothes. I don't think AI would even get the orc's prayer beads correctly.
That's an artist trying to get things right, AI wouldn't care and melt things together

>>96222213
There is an audience for that. But they just know it's gonna be cringe if it's coming form westerners

>>96226440
Untapped market? They want money, other audiences have money.
Chaosium is doing it too, but CoC already has a big audience there(that makes their own Japanese themed fan supplements anyway) and Runequest had one in the past that they retardedly lost thanks to RQ dying. And there's not really anything Japanese you can do with RQ, they just translate stuff and get Japanese artists for the covers.

>>96226453
why do you lie? Even in AD&D there were no alignment restrictions on tieflings.


>>96226667

Neither of BG nor does AD&D1e restrict the alignment of tieflings.

>>96216015
Oh so they're actually somewhat porting Kara-Tur to 5e? Ok.

>>96221054
I guess using tiefling as a "half-oni" fits the setting?

>>96226652
Tieflings have never had an alignment limitation as a player race on the tabletop, and weren't playable in BG1.

>>96226440
>>96228126
Cubicle 7 have stated that they'll hopefully eventually add Cathay into the setting, especially since it's now an official playable army. We'll probably see a Nippon army in Warhammer Fantasy/The Old World before WoTC releasing an updated Kara-Tur/Oriental Adventures supplement.

>>96229236
Why couldn't they? Pathfinder released their world guide for Tian Xia just last year. They had a bunch of Asian cultural consultants and sensitivity readers that worked on this book. If Paizo could do it, then why couldn't the world's biggest and most popular tabletop RPG release something similar?

Fucking queer ass anime.

>>96229236
I mean yeah I doubt those cucks will commit, specially with respect, to a classic setting. But the description specifically mentioned Kozakura, one of the notJapans from Kara-Tur, so I guess there might be a bit of content.

And there's already third party Rokugan material for players at least, for whatever that's worth.

>>96212577 (OP)
I'm deeply curious how they would represent the other classes

>>96230987
Cool monk

>>96230987
Here's probably what a Shou Lung/T'u Lung Battle Master Fighter would look like.

Also anyone find it odd that a Fighter Subclass called "Samurai" from Xanathar's Guide To Everything doesn't provide examples of in-universe fantasy Japanese locations for the subclass to originate from (ie. the book never suggests that the subclass could originate from Kozakura or Wa for players running campaigns in the Forgotten Realms setting)?

>>96225476

The answer is really simple anon, Napoleon was a loli all this time

>>96231827
While I fully understand why Samurai would be made into a subclass, it never fails to be a stupid idea to me least of all the old 3/3.5 samurai that was this goofy chop socky paladin thing complete with it's own blackguard in the form of the ronin.

Then again this is also why the monk always has the most shit flavor because wotc can't into asian anything even with plenty of examples to go off of.

I mean, she's wearing buddhist robes and holding a buddhist staff, buddhist rosary and a vajra... I think the big question is rather how the hell that ended up as "wizard" instead of "cleric".

While Tieflings tend to lean towards Chaotic/Evil alignments, there is nothing stopping them from being Lawful/Good.

>legal loli tiefling
Only if the player is okay with their character getting molested at least once every session

>>96231908
Closest thing off the top of my mind is Friar Tuck with a quarterstaff at some version of Robin Hood out there.

Absolutely bizarre that monks were on 3e PHB, but I guess it aligns with the Diablo influence at the time.

>>96212577 (OP)
Seems based, but only if the tiefling is an anime tsundere played by the neckest beardest of a specimen. I've been meaning to run something where my players use Rising Sun miniatures, any good suggestions on japanese flavored combat-heavy rpgs for that?

>>96232574
Monks in 2000s is what Warlocks are in 2015

>>96233889
Is it something particular based on whatever you are into? I just assume it's the same sort of tactless stupidity like going into a hotel and asking for the room where the craigslist whore your going to meet is.

>While I fully understand why Samurai would be made into a subclass, it never fails to be a stupid idea to me least of all the old 3/3.5 samurai that was this goofy chop socky paladin thing complete with it's own blackguard in the form of the ronin.
Making it specifically a "TWF just like Musashi" class was weird when he himself said you should learn to use many weapons.

>>96231844
It comes full circle. JRPG concepts of a Samurai class were inspired by its depiction as a high-end class in Wizardry, which was in turn inspired by the novel Shogun.

Random anecdote: the Sword Art Online novels had Klein (the guy who always plays samurai-themed characters) sperg out and go on a Weaboo Fightan Magic rant when he learned that ALO's next patch was adding a Sword Skills system to better balance martials against casters. Not because of the Sword Skills themselves (they come with the SAO engine so many games include them in some form), but because ALO's implementation has many of them deal elemental damage. The other characters are completely baffled and say things like "but samurai having darkness-elemental attacks is common in games" until eventually he whimpers and drops the argument.

>>96231844
>chop socky paladin thing complete with it's own blackguard in the form of the ronin.
>>96236282
>but samurai having darkness-elemental attacks is common in games

It's funny how so many people outside Japan treat samurai as paragons of good, when the actual Japanese view them as nepo-baby murderers. To the point where the JP translation of Ghost of Tsushima had to remove every instance of the characters referring to themselves as samurai, because saying it out loud made it sound like they were bragging about how their superior genes justify all actions.

>>96231827
>>96231844
>>96236414
Both of these characters can easily be used as portraits for Asian Battle Masters, Champions, or Psi Warriors. The latter even looks more like a Kensei Monk. But as soon as you have a portrait of a character in Samurai armor, everyone is going to assume and shoehorn them into the Samurai Fighter subclass.

>>96236221
Yeah, I get WOTC is allergic to the idea of magic guns a main thing but at the very least where the fuck is their archery skills?

>>96236414
I feel the same way when the term Knight is thrown around, it's stupid (to me at least) to try and hard define titles into set mechanics and goes against what the Fighter is and should be.

That said, I do love the 3.5 Knight from PHBII with all my heart in spite of it's weakness and wish wizards would do something with all this flavor they leave laying around.

>>96237720
Which goes into my mini rant, You could technically have a bard be a Samurai and it'd still work.

>>96212577 (OP)
The men are either monstrous hypermasculine hulks or decrepit and old, the majority are young girls all with an identical hentai fucksock body. No. And not only would the person who presented the party be physically removed from the table and the venue's premises immediately, but anyone who did not help in the removal would also be excluded.

>>96236414
blame this dude

>>96238492
I'd venture 4/5 are male though

>>96231908
Not how the Eastern were, no. But a lot of monks were retired soldiers, and even knights, who knew how to fight and most of the time continued to practice. Orders that had a lot of traveling brothers also were more heavily militarized and trained since bandits were always a threat. There are multiple stories from medieval time of bandits attacking traveling monks and getting their shit pushed in hard enough some of them would become monks themselves.

One of the more known stories is of Pandolfo Malizia in Italy, who decided to rob some Dominican monks with his guys. Out of 20 bandits 8 died and 12 were "punished in the process of their return into God's grace". Pandolfo himself got three broken ribs, left leg, right arm plus lost left eye and half of his teeth. After which he joined Dominican order and was known as one of the most faithful monks renowned for his charitable work.

>>96212577 (OP)
If I were running a game in fantasy feudal japan, yes.
The game I'm running treats gnomes as monsters, doesn't have tieflings, and orcs can't make children with people. Also Druid is a subset of cleric, and Barbarian is a fighter who wears light armor and acts a fool in society.

>>96212577 (OP)

So I guess a Bard in this case could be some kind of Geisha or someone who hangs around royal courts or something?

Clearly there is a point where trying to pin historical roles and functions to fantasy classes falls apart which annoys me when fantasy steps outside of the boring medievel european window drapes they've had since Tolkien.

>>96243636
I couldn't find a proper Geisha for like, 2e or 3e, but assumed it would be like a Bard kit, yeah. 1e Geishas could use some spells and I think they were proficient with the naginata or something.

>>96243142
This is traditionally Japanese culture. The height of male beauty is androgyny dating all the way back to the tale of Genji.

>>96212577 (OP)
Where's the monk?

>>96212577 (OP)
That’s not a loli tho

>>96244216
Wait, I remember the fight against this guy being relegated to like an offscreen gag? Wtf?!?

>>96243636
And an Alchemist Artificer could be based on an Apothecary.

>>96244306
That .gif is from the preceding episode's "next episode preview", which is how people"knew" there was this really epic fight they never got to see.

>>96244216
What show is this?

>>96244426
Katanagatari, but that fight is fake-out on the preview

>>96244371
Oh yeah, I remember that now.

>>96243636
>Bard
More than a few options here

>>96214504
>the adventure is still set in small-town Phandalin in the Sword Coast
I hate WotC so fucking much

Hard mode:

Where Sorcerer?

>>96244334
>Alchemist

What anime is this suppose to be?

>>96244444
Lotta budget to spend on a takeout.

>>96212577 (OP)
hmmm no nogs?

>>96244926
Do you not see the brown kunoichi?

>>96244966
thats a sun elf bro

>>96244970
How many fucking subspecies of elves are there in D&D?

>>96244986
too many desu

>>96244966
That's not a nog

>>96244131
all these words just to say you're gay

>>96245008
Looks brown enough to me

>>96245026
She's just tanned

>>96245029
>brown head and hands
You're not fooling me

>>96245018
There's nothing gay about a mighty warrior fucking his twink, it's good conservative values. This idea of not fucking your bro is european invader propaganda.

>>96245090
Thank God that the White man put a stop to that faggotry and helped civilized the OTHER races

>>96244216
>monk
That's a sword

>>96243636
it would fit, a traveling biwa hoshi would also map onto the bard's role pretty directly. you could even do something like a kamishibai storyteller if you wanted to stretch it a bit

>>96244554
Neverwinter is just northwest of Phandalin. A good GM can turn this into another Neverwinter Nights campaign.

>>96229307
Paizo actually regularly releases products. WotC releases like two books a year, and virtually no setting books.

They have also, for the entire lifespan of 5e, been driven by avoiding flak, above and beyond just SJW shit - reading the original 5e DMG will find constant hemming and hawing and very little actionable advice because they were terrified of grognards getting mad at them for daring to tell new players to play differently from how they, the grognard, plays it.

>>96245411
wow. i can go from phandalin to neverwinter.

just neck me and save me the trouble.

Samurai should literally just be fighters of your preferred subclass, literally the only issue with it is that Wizards HATES fighters so they get like two skills.

>>96245078
She's a Wood Elf, in Jabon they draw "dark elves" as brown like that. Not everyone with skin darker than milk is a "nog".

>>96245018
>>96245090
>>96245233
If you read the Tale of Genji you know he crushed a ridiculous amount of puss. The only ones who think androgyny means gay are gaijin, women love beautiful men, gay men love gruff muscle men.

>>96212577 (OP)
It's okay when the slopes do it desu.

>>96212614
Seeeeething lmao. Cucked like a little bitch! You gonna carry more wattah up that hill for me boy? You wanna shine my shoes?

>>96245008
>posts autist who hates how dark her model is
not a great example

>>96212577 (OP)
Sure, on condition that legal loli will get treated like a child, or at best "young lady" - for better or worse - and the half-orc will frequently be received with suspicion or open discrimination.

>>96212577 (OP)

>Tatsuwakamaru was the successor of a prestigious family connected to the Shogun family, but his family was destroyed due to political strife. With the help of a ninja hired by his father and his excellent escape techniques, he escapes from harm, defeats his pursuer, Onikuma, recruits him, and heads for the capital. Meanwhile, the hermit Roar Moon sees the shadow of Asmodeus, the Great Demon King of Nine Prisoners, behind the forces targeting Tatsuwakamaru. She joins Tatsuwakamaru with her fellow Shugenja in order to thwart the plot, and attempts to escape to the neighboring country of Wa using the Kozakura portal with him.

Isn't this basically the same plot as the anime "Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi" (The Elusive Samurai)? The difference is, he and his party ends up teleporting to the Sword Coast.

So basically: What if The Elusive Samurai takes place in the Forgotten Realms and Tokiyuki Hojo and his party ends up becoming D&D adventurers?

>>96212960
>even though Japan is big into OSR and their own home-grown stuff that forked off of B/X like Sword World.
Sword World is as OSR as 5e is, strayed pretty heavily from it's BECMI influences in 1.0 and it's pretty radically different in 2.5
>>96226440
WotC has been trying with D&D for a few years, they've done a bunch of sponsored sessions for Japanese streamers.
>>96226964
>Neither of BG nor does AD&D1e restrict the alignment of tieflings.
>1e
tieflings are 2e (and by extension also not OSR)

>>96212577 (OP)
Yes. Now roll initiative.

Weeaboos would have gone nuts if this was released in 2008.

Was Kensei not literally a thing?

That was basically “samurai as a class”

>>96212577 (OP)
Ask the general

>>96231844
D&D is really held back by all the legacy bullshit, but they can't abandon it without giving up their identity and angering their fanbase.

>>96244966
are you being stupid on purpose

>>96254832
Ainu are the blacks of the east anon.
And Filipinos.
And Cambodians.
And Cantonese.
And

>>96245029
Japs can be brown.
They just don't like admitting it.

>>96245090
Found the zigger.

Lemme check my current 4e party:
>Wood Elf Artificer
>Tiefling Warlock
>Hengeyoukai Druid/Shaman
>Half-Orc Fighter
>Drow Ranger
>Half-Elf Blackguard/Vampire

It's pretty tame desu.

>>96254832
are you blind?

>>96256095
God willing, that will change

>>96260401
Looks like a very stereotypical and racist caricature. I am offended.

>>96260226
They had hengeyokai in 4e?

>>96261217
There's a giant bug humanoid behind the party

>>96261295
you can't just call asians bugs dude

>>96261305
i'll give it to you

>>96260521
Aye, Dragon Magazine 404

>>96254862
Ainu's are actually caucasian.

>>96261963
Was that like, the single issue with OA stuff for 4e?

>>96212577 (OP)
This has already been tried before with Rokugan. I don't think any one of them has a chance of breaking into the other's already established market. Call of Cthulu and Warhammer 40k are the only two exception for breaking into the Japanese TTRPG and Miniature Wargaming market. There's even a rumor that Warhammer the Old World might get Nippon before Kislev after Cathay's success.

>>96263555
Adventures in Rokugan is 5e, though. Aren't japs basedly old school when it comes to D&D?

>>96263577
No. The nips don't play D&D.
They play Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, and their own native homegrown games. D&D has been a dead game in Japan since fucking 2E.

>>96212577 (OP)
I thought DnD said we couldn't have half orcs anymore since they are too much like black people irl or something like that idk.
How come they are alowing it now?

>>96232574
>I guess it aligns with the Diablo influence at the time.
Who the fuck even played Hellfire?

>>96265653
Dungeons & Dragons skipped over it.
specifically calling these "Diablo II" is...odd.

>>96219435
This is gold and the entire thread has missed it

>>96265653
I did!

...A few years later.

Either, 3e seemed to align with Diablo 2, and vice versa. It's not a huge leap to think Hellfire would be thrown in there, I think they even used some monsters, spells or equipment in the books. Wasn't the Secret Cow Level on 1 or Hellfire? Maybe WotC had access to material that didn't make the cut to 2.

>>96227145
At least you have detail there. Japan gets fucking nothing.

>>96265387
Japan is still stuck in the original edition. If that's good or bad, it's up to you.

>>96256095
Every person is a different shade of brown.
Which means we're all just different kinds of Mexicans.

My current party is 2 rabbit furries, a cat furry, a human, and an angel. All of them are very Italian.

So what I'm saying is yes and Brancalonia is great.

>>96212577 (OP)
I want to have sex and start a family with the brown elf kunoichi

>>96267490
Wait, can rabbits do the hand gesture thingy?

>>96262837
Basically. It also had a ninja guild for the executioner assassin and another runepriest subclass. They're rounded out with some monk multiclass stuff. Someone really, really felt the need to try and shove Honor rules into it. You know, exactly what you'd expect of D&D trying to do something and falling on its face (admittedly not as hard as original OA, but this was ~25 years later, it's not like they learned *nothing*)

>>96268857
Huh, updating the Honor rules to 4e is a lot more than I'd expect from a single issue of Dragon with OA stuff. At least someone there was trying.

>>96226440
>>96263555
>A Chink army
Did those even sell at all? This reminds me of how For Honor added the Chinese Wu Lin faction in order to try to appeal the Chinese market. It didn't work. Ubisoft has pretty much abandoned them.

>>96219435
And what noteworthy anime or work has Aoi Yuuki done recently?

>>96269693
Apothecary Diaries, where she is Maomao. Also Froppy in MHA in all its iterations. There's a list on her wiki page.

>>96269018
I'm not sure why we need HONOR! rules at all, at least not for a campaign. If one player wants to be Zuko about it, sure, but not as a wholly campaign-wide thing. It's so ridiculous that it makes alignments look reasonable.

>>96269782
>I'm not sure why we need HONOR! rules at all, at least not for a campaign.
Tradition. You may not care for it, but it's an option for whoever liked it. Sure doesn't hurt.

>>96244739
its peak. one of the best recent anime series

why do onymoji and eastern monks have so much more drip than priests or sorcerers from the west?

>>96225619
kek fag

>>96225619
Red hasn't posted in of his work here since you fags doxxed him like six years ago. Everything you woyafags sperg about is half-a-decade old reposts.

>>96272446
Buddhist monks literally dress in robes, what are you talking about?

>>96272565
>all eastern monks are buddhist
that color is still more drip than the brown, or black and white from the west. and there are different buddhist monk outfits. like pic related or those flute players with the basket helmet

i will admit that i was mostly talking about clergy like daoshi though

>>96272669
>the brown, or black and white from the west
Liturgical garments are often colorful and ornate. Protestants are more boring, but that's kind of their thing.

>>96272791
fair enough. still prefer the look / vibe / aesthetic of eastern clergy. especially the rituals and customs around magic and spirits

>>96260419
It's based on Korean stereotypes of Japan
I recognize that character

>>96269946
A tradition of being amazingly wrong about slightly different concepts of face between two cultural groups? Now, to be fair, the 4e rules did float having chivalry and dwarf HONOR, but the baggage about it and OA just makes it look weird.

>>96212577 (OP)
It's interesting how the D&D tiefling and orc can both relate to the Japanese Oni
>red, horns, magic affinity
>buff, monstrous, violent
You think this'll ever be used for anything? Maybe "Oni" as a term for a tiefling and orc majority group?

>>96276118
wouldnt they be closer to ogres than orcs? given that thats also what oni is often translated as?

>>96276246
Ogres are physically large and still eat people. They can come to the Oni party.

>>96276118
>>96276246
Ogre Magi are canonically a type of Oni.
Orcs weren't always considered buff and are often considered a type of goblinoid, they're probably more like Bakemono.
I think they're already going for tiefling = half-oni here. I'm kinda ok with this, or them being half yokai in general, since they had various mutations in 2e.

Should Monk be stripped of it's title as core class and be banished to the Artificer dimension forevermore?

>>96212577 (OP)
>>wood elf rogue
Yes
>>gnome druid
No, almost all druids are half-elves
>>human male noble fighter
Any time
>>legal loli tiefling wizard
Absolutely not, demons are killed on sight
>>half-orc barbarian
Impossibru. Barbarian-equivalent class is only open to humans.

>>96212614
Yeah, I'm this BASED.
I play GURPS, though, the one, true chud game.

>>96215074
It's funny, because big muscular men are seen as super gay in Japan because they assume only gay men would give a shit about spending so much time sculpting a body for the enjoyment of other men.

>>96287116
DBZ fooled me pretty well

>>96231908
Yeah. If you want to play a DnD western style monk, it's cloistered cleric or some NPC class shenanigans.

>>96244920
It's a practical joke. They talk about it being his hardest fought fight until the last episode, but the actual episode it happens in we get to see some ninja's get dunked on by a little girl.

>>96212577 (OP)
>wood elf rogue
>gnome druid
These are both fine
>human male noble fighter
You can either be a noble or a fighter but you can't be both.
>legal loli tiefling wizard
No. If you're going to make her a loli you must make her underage, since she's tiefling you could easily say that her demon blood made her a horny preteen slut.
>half-orc barbarian
Depends on his backstory.

>>96290898
A Western style Monk (Christian coded) be more like a Cleric or Priest. Reminder that some monks in real life are also ordained priests.
