Do you prefer to play ugly characters? Or attractive characters?

>>96763764 (OP)
I have a hard time visualizing ugly people, unless they have like misshapen or awkwardly proportioned bodies, and then it's hard to imagine them adventuring

>>96763764 (OP)
I like playing as cute girls

>>96763764 (OP)
If I’m feeling ugly then someone pretty, if I’m feeling like a hunk then I play as someone comedic looking. Dunno if that counts.

>>96763814
Comedic in like a Pools Closed avatar kind of way?

>>96763764 (OP)
Why do you only post ugly characters?

>>96763764 (OP)
/v/ is that way, xittertroon

>>96763764 (OP)
I almost always play Warforged, so it depends on if the crafter had a thing for sex bots or not.

>>96763764 (OP)
Depends on the character concept but most of my characters tend to be average or attractive. One of my favorite characters was a necromancer that suffered burns all over her body and wore a porcelain mask to cover her face. One day I will remake her now that I know how to properly use the insanity mechanics.

That would make a cool commission IMO.

>>96763764 (OP)
I like making "ugly" characters but more in the they look like just mundane, normal ass people kinda way. Like they have unflattering features, but they're not like monstrously deformed.

>>96763764 (OP)
Attractively ugly

>>96763808
Be sure to be up front about this in every game you try to join. I'm sure there are a million other red flags that get you rejected anyway, but this one makes it quick and easy.

What drives a man to do this?

Isn't most PC art available at least somewhat attractive usually?

>>96763764 (OP)
My AD&D2e female tiefling (started as a male dwarf, Reincarnated randomly into a tiefling since the cleric couldn't cast Raise Dead but had a Reincarnate scroll), ended up with a CHA of 22. Rolled a 17, plus a result on the Tiefling random abilities table that gave +1d6 CHA.

So a literally supernaturally charismatic extraplanar female. With cat-slit eyes, pointed ears, wings, and tail. OBVIOUSLY she's hot as fuck, and I will never apologize for that, as it resulted from gameplay.

>>96763764 (OP)
Attractive.
Because I enjoy fantasy games.

>>96763764 (OP)
Usually dead average, or at the very least, average enough that whether or not they are ugly or attractive is entirely dependent on the person seeing them.
To be honest, a lot of the time I don't even get art of my characters, I just describe them as "oh yeah he's a lanky dude with brown hair in his mid 30s" and that's it.

>>96763764 (OP)
No preference, but average is boring. And it doesn't just apply to Dream Pod 9's Appearance stat. Had a blast playing a PF 1st edition 3 Intelligence sorcerer. Had a blast playing a wizard's that's opposed.

As long as I've got a weakness that does show up from time-to-time, be it a stat, a flaw like Shadowrun's Codes of Honor (God I loved that one) and remain mechanically viable / can contribute meaningfully, I'm golden.

What does Captcha means by this?

>>96763764 (OP)
I have no preference, it depends on my character concept for the day.

>>96763764 (OP)
I have no charisma and can't competently roleplay it so 90% of the time ugly or monster characters. I don't try to flirt in-character etc and leave that for other players too. I guess my characters would come across as ugly and asexual or autistic.

>>96764230
Why is that a red flag? Never had an issue with making female characters before

>>96765640
How did it go from there? I mean, from RP point, it's a neckbeard in a hot chick body.

>>96765640
Reincarnate usually only turns you into some sort of animal, so your DM is using a homebrew reincarnation table. Post it, if able. I want to judge your DM. He's clearly using the random tiefling appearance table, so he sounds based, but I need to know if the reincarnation table is shitty fetish bait or not first.

>>96768137
>from RP point, it's a neckbeard in a hot chick body
LMAO

>>96768137
>How did it go from there?
Pretty awkwardly for a good while. Luckily there was some armor with the "fit the wearer" quirk on it. We had some fun with it for a bit; the other girls in the party "adopted" her pretty quick and taught her the ropes. It's been about 3 years in game since it happened, and she's kind of made her peace with it. Note also we agreed as a group not to be all weird with it and not make it a huge game focus, since it wouldn't be fair to the other 6 people at the table to monopolize the RP time.

>>96768990
>Post it
My DM is ok with sharing it, so here. Hopefully it's stays readable. I'll also throw in the Tiefling appearance table that he uses in the next post. Also I was wrong. It was a reincarnation side effect that gave the CHA bonus, not a tiefling ability. Still, though.

>>96771377
And the Tiefling table.

>>96771381
>>96771377
Tell your GM I'm stealing both of those tables. That's some great stuff.

>>96771377

>>96763764 (OP)
I'm a self-inserter, so attractive characters.

>>96771381
>>96771377
Incredibly based DM. These are great. The reincarnation side effects alone are worth the price of admission. And the tiefling table is what they would have published in planescape the first time if Lorraine Williams didn't insist on everything being PG rated. Treasure your DM anon. You lucked into a good one.

>>96771377
Let's see the magic.

Rolled 2, 1, 2, 1, 10, 3 = 19 (6d10)

Forgot quotes lol, sorry.

Rolled 5, 10, 7, 6 = 28 (4d10)

What type and consequences?

Rolled 8 (1d10)

This is so much better than the retarded d20 tables in the books it's not even funny. This is getting sent to my GM immediately. TY for posting your stuff anon, and pass my thanks to your GM too.

>>96773058
>Motherfucker, is that a Man of La Mancha reference on my /tg/?
I think all of the armor and weapon sets are references. For sure there's Celts, Sailor Moon, Red Sonja, American Gothic, Don Quixote, and what's her lack of tits from that old King Arthur film (belts and bow). The bear suit and club is from something, I just don't remember what. It's good work. SOVL went into this.

>>96763764 (OP)
All My characters are androgynous twinkmen who are extremely racist against subhumans.

>>96776793
Why would even allow black people into a game in the first place?

No.

>>96763764 (OP)
I don't play self inserts, so I only play pretty people. Why would I ever choose to be ugly? It's worse in every possible way.

>>96778210
Ahem.. Sorry, black "people"? I've never heard of this concept.

>>96776793
It's ok to play something besides elves, anon

>>96768990
>Post it, if able. I want to judge your DM.
Responding. Last couple days sucked. I have judged your DM, and found him incredibly based. This is great, and the other table is good too. Tieflings should be slightly fetishy, given their inherited nature, so the addition of sex stuff on there is fine. The smartest part is the part where to you can replace a result with a classic "demonic" trait like horns, fangs, or goat legs. The original table from Planescape should have done that. Give your DM my compliments.

>>96763764 (OP)
It's more about the character concept than anything else. Some concepts work better with attractive characters, some with unattractive characters, and some work best with thoroughly average looking characters.

I'm often pigeonholed into being party face, so I play more pretty people than ugly, but that's not entirely by choice.

>>96782635
I would never play an elf. I hate elfs.

>>96786776
You play a racist androgynous twinkman. That's an elf, anon.

>>96763808
This, mostly because I draw my own character art and I like drawing women.

>>96763764 (OP)
I almost exclusively play ugly characters. They earn me immediate points on the victimhood scale, so I can take pretty much whatever actual actions I want during the game without social consequences. It's like having a disability and all the perks of that, but without actually being disabled.

I never really focus much on my character appearance, I tend to describe them looking like your typical average joe look

The time I made a ugly character was when I made the most evil cunt of a character who whole backstory that he was abused ever since the day his mother shat him out on some dirt path outside his home village, abusive childhood by family and other children, ran away, taking in by brigands (who would of fucked him if he wasn't so fucking ugly) at a young age and decided he wanted to abuse the world back for all the pain it brought to him as he got older

>Naturally born super ugly, his nose chopped off, heavily balding and just grim to even look at with scars over his face from past fights

Played him in a session with some other players some years ago, we were part of a prophecy of being the chosen ones to defeat some evil, it was some lazy ass excuse from the DM on why our characters met up, so it was funny when everyone else character was lawful or chaotic good and here me and my evil cunt former brigand character turned "adventurer" who somehow part of some heroic prophecy and I told the DM to let me play him because 'oh it his redemption, make up for all his past sins' and he thankfully allow me to play him

All the while openly brags about the times he pillaged farmsteads and strangled children for laughs to the other characters when ask what he did for a living, in other words I was roleplaying as a murderhobo and they weren't really thrilled about it, so naturally they spent more time trying to kill my character or get him arrested when we weren't proceeding with the quest

>>96791831
>>96792560

It was fun at first, mainly due to the DM being pretty new being a DM who should of known better, while he was a nice and chill guy to talk with, we have similar hobbies with fishing and hiking, so he probably somewhere in /Out/ but he was a bit of a push over

Other players, not so much, they were the type of players that watch shows like critical role and what not and wanted to have something similar to that which while I have nothing wrong against it, it just sometimes annoying when people try to act like them

here you got this fucking psycho who you probably find in GOT (the novels not the show) threating some villager of slamming her new born child head in against the wall if she didn't tell them where her husband, who was secretly a necromancer ran off to or chopping off dead foes fingers and ears off to wear around his neck to brag about his kills when camping

and just generally being this annoyance that kept poking holes in their backgrounds, mocking their sob stories and more importantly their actions, mainly of calling them out when they do something deemed as illegal or evil, like robbing people homes or just murdering a old geezer just because he was racist to elves and told the elf mage player he should fuck off back to the woods and hump animals or whatever retarded elves do out in the woods and the elf mage killed him with a fireball, when called out he just shrug it off in character 'oh he racist, so yeah I did it' and the other players back him up saying I had no right to call him out due to my character past actions

After a while during a break, the DM took me around back and just ask me to tone it down a bit and I did because I liked the guy as long I'm allow to still mock the other characters, we came to a agreement, the rest of the game went pretty well without any issue after that

>>96797096
I'm surprised the group didn't implode lol

>>96763991
I play exclusively warforgeds with the observant feat because my DM has a boner for surprise attacks during long rests.

>>96763764 (OP)
Usually if I play an 'ugly' character, it's someone whose life circumstances have changed them. Unseemly scars, a rough life, lack of sleep, or just age.

I generally like to make characters that are conventionally attractive. But I also like making characters who at one point were, yet their looks fell off due to tragedy, bad decisions, or the consequences of an adventuring life.

Why do tonsures make people look so ugly?

>>96802825
Because it simulates balding, and going bald is a biological indicator that a man has aged beyond the point of usefulness and should be disposed off. The disgust we feel when seeing baldness is there to help us dispose of the old and useless male. And since a tonsure is just being bald with extra steps, it's only logical to be disgusted by it and find it ugly.

>>96802850
Why do clergy willingly do this to themselves? Even when they are young?

>>96802868
>Why do clergy willingly do this to themselves?
Signalling that they aren't suitable for marriage/reproduction. It's a visible signal that they have volunteered to exit the gene pool, though obviously they wouldn't have thought of it in such terms.

>>96803468
Why does Op pic have a tonsure?

>>96803719
Most likely because OP is a faggot. It could also be that he wanted to post an objectively ugly character for his thread about pretty vs ugly characters, and as stated, a balding man is ugly by definition. But the most likely reason is that OP is a faggot.

>>96795152
>do you have anything else from your GM you can share?

>>96765575
>Isn't most PC art available at least somewhat attractive usually?
Yes, but artists are invariably degenerate coomer leftists, so art can't be taken critically as indicative of people's desires. Artists care about hedonism and making money more than any artistic statements or consumer demand. That's why I can only hope AI replaces human art completely. Art never should have been a viable job in the first place.

>>96812789
>Believing this unironically
i sincerely hope you get cancer just like your soul has

>>96812819
>artist detected
Your time is over.

>>96812789
It'll be a while before AI takes over artists completely. Most AI image generators don't follow all the instructions and ones that do get worse the more specific you want something.

>>96812789
the proliferation of AI has really blown the cover of who is actually soulless and who has soul.
It's not that you people didnt exist before but now you re out in the open
It is also very sad to see someone so filled with hate for people that simply arent like him. Living with this level of insecurity must be like hell. I sincerely pity the conservative soul.
Anyway, your very precious AI will not replace artists in the way you imagine. At best it will dominate the corporate world making soulless corpo slop even more soulless. And that is if people wont fight back about it which they seem to do. Either way art wont die because a machine can imitate it to a mediocre degree. At worst, it will just be more rare and a clear divide will be created between AI and man made products, with man made products being considered much more expensive and obviously superior, the exact same way craft that was replaces by machinery operates, just like shoemaking, clothing, etc

>>96800935
>Men
>Any attractiveness because I’m not a faggot

>No ugly bitches. Definitely no fatties.
Objectively correct answer. A woman's only value is in her appearance, so playing an ugly woman is pointless. A man's value has nothing to do with their appearance, so it doesn't matter and you can play any appearance and it has no bearing on the character.

>>96812789
Op pic is not attractive in any ways shape or form. He's an old fat cleric with a tonsure.

>>96819254
The pic was probably a commission with permanenters set by the client. Artists don't draw uggos if they can help it but money always wins.

>>96812789
Based anon. I can finally agree with somebody on this leftwing hellsite.

>>96800285
>I'd feel like with how lethal a lot of the stuff is, you'd be seeing a lot of people maimed or deformed from this life.
That's why I go out of my way to use magical, instead of natural, healing, in any game that allows it. Look, adventurers are mostly physically fit people, physically fit people are almost always attractive, and attractive people are vain and want to maintain their looks. Therefore, adventurers with magical healing capabilities would absolutely use magic that includes stuff like scar removal.

I know this is 4chins and we hate pretty people here, but more adventurers in D&D should look like picrel, over some grimdark scarred monstrosity of a human.

>>96763764 (OP)
>Do you prefer to play ugly characters? Or attractive characters?
I mean, I'm working out my AGP issues through the medium of roleplaying games, so yeah I'm obviously going to play the most smoking hot characters I can make within a given system. Nobody WANTS to be ugly.

>>96826185
I dunno, I usually play as ugly, misshapen, crippled etc characters. Not that I don't want to be attractive but it's a lot easier to insert into a horrible reject.

>>96826185
>I'm working out my AGP issues through the medium of roleplaying
