Why does /tg/ hate this classic character archetype?

>>96267058
/tg/ is fine with that kind of character, nogames fag. The issue is with the retards who make a big deal about playing them when it is the most common thing played.

>>96267070

The good thing about playing a character with no real identity is that you get to define who they are through actions and personality instead of a snowflake race or fancy backstory.

This is not to say that the latter is universally bad, but it is not for everyone.

>>96267058
Why not Blacksmith background?

>>96267078
If you really enjoy playing human fighters (I play them sometimes myself) and your go to race and class that is fine, just don't act like playing them is a huge deal and you are going against the grain for playing them.

The farmer is more respected than the blacksmith for he grows the food while the blacksmith is the servant of nobles.

>>96267314
>the blacksmith is the servant of nobles.
Who do think shoes the farmer's horses?
Who do you think made the farm's axe, sickle, knife, and plow? Bits, nails, hinges, ect. ect.
Everyone has need of a blacksmith.

Except you're not doing that. Your only personality is being a human fighter.

forced meme about being outraged over something that never happened by people that never existed
Human male fighter is the most common class/race combo. Theres nothing countercultural or edgy about it, you're doing the exact same thing as everybody else

You and the person who drew this at WOTC should die and painful death.

My favourite thing about this release is Eomer is clearly white. Makes me think this was drawn before someone at WotC gave the command to blackify the rest of the release.

>>96269127
better res art

One of my favorite characters I ever played was a human fighter whose backstory was being a fisherman, whose career shifted into fighting sea monsters.

>>96269127
I don't think they just cared about how genetics work, MtG Galadriel is also black but Arwen is white.

That much is obvious, but Arwen was made white because bmwf pairings seem to be mandatory in all new media products

Fuck the Magic. Only armour with the best AC and weapon with the best damage. And remember for a shield ofc.

Personally I play an elf but I prefer the human/elf/dwarf setup because it feels the coziest to me.

>>96268126
Isn't this the most based character in the show though? Might be misremebering but I think you did a good post by mistake.

there's nothing new under the sun, so I'll pick half-drow, with daddy issues and low self-esteem

If I wanted to play a Gollum or some other crackhead-type character, should I go for Human Fighter? Obviously only talking about Dungeons & Dragons, as Gygax intended.

>>96267043 (OP)
Plenty of settings have humans be at odds with elves and orcs, and elves, orcs and dwarves can all range from uneasy alliance to full hostility, but I can't recall many settings where humans and dwarves are really at odds, at most they seem to avoid each other with mild dislike

Truth nuke. Anyone that actually thinks any other player gives a fuck when you play a human fighter is a delusional faggot.

>>96270549
'tis a meme thread, sir.

>>96268340
the above, but also, there is an actual point here, it is not just a forced meme. The point is that how you play a character is more important than who your character is.

Yes, who they are still matters, but the more you play, the less it will.

Wizards are better.

>>96267043 (OP)
The human male fighter meme honestly seems like more of a nogames thing. Most people start out with human male fighters that tend to more or less be various degrees of self-inserts. We switch away from them because Fighters are not particularly mechanically interesting, and your options are very limited in combat.

Also, the kind of person who would treat a Dwarf as a personality type instead of as their own character is also the same type of person that’ll just self-insert into every single human character they make instead of thinking of a unique personality for them.

3.pf solved this with the martial master archetype, which is likely as good as fighter ever got.

the options are there, but props to you for going straight up muscle wizard

No that was on purpose, Cattleya is "Human Fighter" of Queen's Blade.
Shows the TTRPG origins of Queen's Blade that she is the worlds strongest Human Woman, a Giant Slayer, something of a Guts expy, and is still just a mid to low tier character power wise.

That just means you get to make all the human fighters the enemies. I see a total win.

>>96272896
hah that would be a fun endgame although the orc will probably not have a fun time both for historical reasons and for the fact that the nigger can't land a hit even with the barbarian advantage
>>96272941
Currently the bad guys are human necromancers but they have enough connection to nobility that they could totally pull out plenty of fighter soldiers and officers to their cause tacitly.

>>96267314
The farmer works his lord's field every morning.

>>96272859
gallic elf ranger sounds based
considering the role wood elves play, I can easily see them as Celts or Irish
what are the Egyptians in this case? And the Greeks?

>>96272859
The late roman empire was when foreign foederati made up the backbome of the Roman military, historylet. They are unironically playing closer to real history than you.

>>96272970
The greek are also humans and I'm thinking with egypt doing some kind of homebrew half race of egyptian god based creatures that have become half humans to represent how they got taken over by the macedonians then romans. My knowledge of egypt is admittedly far weaker than that of rome though so I'm still considering options

Look at this poser.

D&D rant. All Martials should be proficient with unarmed fighting as a matter of course. Particularly the Fighter who should be able to become a pugilist without jumping through numerous hoops

>>96273259
One of the only males in that series and actually hot. Kinda surprised tbhqwty.

All these human fighters yet no elf spouses? Quite literally the ultimate goal of a human fighter!

>>96274412
Maybe for some.

>>96267043 (OP)
I already told you, Tom, my setting doesn't have humans in it. You can only play as a Daemonaar, a Ca'tikin, or a Poewa.

>>96274390
>D&D rant. All Martials should be proficient with unarmed fighting
in 5e they are

>>96274708
What I mean is they should get Monks martial arts built in while Monk gets a new, better version of martial arts. Like, why the fuck has the idea of changing damage types with your hands never became a thing even though a feat like that existed in 3.5 PHBII

>3.5e rant
Power Attack should be automatically available for all martials with str 12+

>>96280446
Sneak attack should also become a regular ability anyone could do but with the Rogue maintaining it's own ability to use it in ways no one else can.

I would do similarly with the other classes with fighter having the most options but nothing that could step on the toes of a class that hyper specializes.

>>96301144
Correct, my friend. However, it is a known stereotype that "bad players" (in reality, mostly literal noobs) will write their edgy backstory, typically tied to their race, and most-notoriously tieflings and aesimars, and then impose this upon the actual plot of the game over and over until they learn or get shoo'd.

Like with my other posts here, I don't want to lie to people unless i'm meming, so I will openly say that playing a boring human that has nothing to him is worse. It just so happens that "good players' (again, usually just meaning experienced) tend to make boring or generic characters more interesting through roleplay.

That's basically a piandao, roughly "slicing saber," iirc, favored in the Ming and Qing dynasties, very rare, otherwise, as it's more of a slicey boy than a choppy boy, andthe whole point of the Chinese saber was to be easier to teach conscripts than a proper sword of the jian type. The hilt type in more general terminology is what I've always seen called a recurve hilt, on account of it curves opposite the blade, and it mainly serves to extend the reach of a curved blade, aid retention if the blade sticks, and also helps make the point more available on a heavily curved blade.

Varying reasons. As far as this comic goes I think it's more of a matter of execution (making whites look like badass vampires and making the blacks look feckless on top of the schizo/borderline surreal nature of the entire work) but in the case of CHYNA it's because being the underdog and the non-aggressor (lel) is a pretty significant part of their national identity so that's how they portray themselves in propaganda.
>Poor China hasn't ever hurt anyone else unprovoked, not like those round-eyes with their opium and racism and colonialism and unequal treaties and support for reactionaries and backstabbing and disregard for China's laws and customs and rightful territorial claims >:(

It's an institutionalized victim complex. Selling weapons to Taiwan is bullying China. Criticizing China for underwriting Myanmar's transformation into the world's largest producer of meth is bullying China. Putting tariffs on Chinese goods is bullying China. Pointing out human rights abuses committed by the CCP is bullying China. Writing an unflattering biography of Mao is bullying China. Refusing to make your goods in China because they'll be counterfeited is bullying China. Telling China to stop funding genocidal paramilitary groups is bullying China. India telling China to stop putting artillery on their border is bullying China. Everyone in the world who doesn't unconditionally recognize China's claims in the South China Sea is bullying China.
