No chance, sorry. As soon as you approach any woman, she'll scream and try to crush you.

Your best bet is stalking her from the dark corner where you spun your web.

1. Cleric (Crusader).
2. Fighter.
Basically anything that can wield heavy armor, swords and shield because of muh LARP (duh).
Prefer bruiser and support roles, but not a fan of paladin. Lawful good is not something I can stomach. I prefer Deus Vult people for myself, not for "greater good".

Imaging wanting to be a sex-having hell-going bard rather than a celibate monk. Couldn't be me.

so here's a higher-quality scan of Orbik
Any others?
Other D&D/AD&D artwork by Glen Orbik? As far as I know, just the two I already posted in this thread, plus this one of a knight jousting (appeared in PHBR12 The Complete Paladin's Handbook):

Although that image from PHBR7 The Complete Bard's Handbook is actually just a portion of a much larger picture previously used as the cover for, of all things, a trivia game:

Fantasy postulates the existence of magic. If you love fantasy, then why would you not be a mage? That's the core of the whole thing. If you want to be a fighter, you can just join an MMA club and be a fighter here and now. What you can't do is cast spells.

wizards are gay and promote faggotry, kill them on sight.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 Bubbles In Memoria A Beautifully Desolate Campaign Pathfinder: Kingmaker Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture
PS: The one thing i never liked about Skyrim was that i couldn't play the druid archetype they way i wanted cause summons were elemental/arcane or necromantic/demonic instead of nature based. Well, i could use mods, but vanilla didn't accomondate me and that was a shame.

Beyond all the moral reasons the above bros have pointed out, there is this: there's nothing better to feel :obviously: than to keep a bunch of retards around. The shit flinging also makes for a good show.

I have a hard time picking favourites, but if I had a gun pointed at my head I’d say cleric.

Sure, pick the healer when you're about to be fatally wounded.
