Let's talk about Lacrymas' homebrew fantasy setting where paladins are eunuchs

[Cryomancer]

Cooldowns are nonsensical. I would make the damage taken in one form be carried to another form, or make take time to shapeshift. But you are the DM, if you wanna to put cooldowns everywhere, you can.

Cooldowns makes sense to the 4th Ed/WoW generation.

It's the same thing. I could make it so it takes a minute to shapeshift after another shapeshift was ended by any means, but practically it's the same thing. I could make it so the hp is actually %-based and shared between forms, but that nerfs the forms quite a lot, it also make it so the druid only wants to shapeshift to the form which has the highest total hp and makes it unnecessarily mathy. The meaningful distinction between cooldowns and casting time is that you are locked down while casting, so there's more of an opportunity cost there. I could make it so shapeshifting requires a casting time for 3 rounds, but good luck pulling that off.

Lmao apparently it's 'sperging' to expect a setting to have logical consistency

Bro, it's just ~*~fantasy~*~ so you can do whatever you want. It doesn't need to make sense.

Yep. Is fantasy, so don't need to make sense. This is why D&D 4th edition and Diablo 3 are a great games.

As a necromancer, the amount of blood which I can suck from the skeleton king with the siphon blood spell is proportional to the weight and sharpness of the axe which I dematerialize before casting the spell. Nothing more immersive than spells scaling with weapons that disappear when casting and blood magic sucking blood from bloodless creatures.

 

[Lacrymas]

I don't see how my setting doesn't make sense.

Do people suffering from Autism have issues picking up sarcasm ?
Or were you just really desperate to drop that huge "own"

EDIT
Also, that whole Necromancer Siphoning Life from the skeleton king in Diablo 3.. What a weird and oddly specific topic.. ????

I don't see how my setting doesn't make sense.

INCEL Paladins roaming around the lands dispersing holy justice? Feels like a self-insert tbh.

 

[Cryomancer]

Sorry, I will fix my sarcasm detector.

Only Barbarian woman is the most nonsensical thing about your setting.

Just rename them to "psycho bitches" and it fits like a charm

 

[NJClaw]

Only Barbarian woman is the most nonsensical thing about your setting.

Why, though?

Whoever trains barbarians decided that the only way to channel enough rage to be one is to have felt the unthinkable pain that comes with the loss of a child. In game, this is represented through the Barbarian class and its Rage class feature. The end. What's nonsensical about it?

And don't go around quoting passages from other settings' books, because what makes a barbarian in another setting has no relevance in this discussion.

 

[Zeriel]

Organization of militant control freaks, who hold monopoly on magic in the name of powerful (and apparently vengeful) "divine" patron and employ army of castrated slaves (because being eunuchs kinda implies being a slave) + housing spy network, prying into people's lives + mug everyone on additional taxes for very vague services or "just cuz" (clerics can't even heal in his setting for fuck sake) + burn or demonize anyone who disagree with their dogma - Totally liberal, progressive and not fascist (c) Lacrymas

I dunno that sounds kind of based and awesome as a dystopian setting. Make them actually worshipping evil gods and you've basically got some weird setting where Chaos won.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

What's nonsensical about it?

The idiot training barbarians.

 

[Cryomancer]

Barbarians are not "civilized", nor need "training". They are savage warriors who see civilized folks as weaklings. Fighters needs formal training.

Allows Barbarian Rage once per 30 days.

 

[Lacrymas]

In which setting? Certainly not in mine.

 

[Cryomancer]

In your setting, barbarians are just raging fighters.

 

[ㅤㅤㅤ]

Sure, but this is what stuck and what fascism is mostly associated with post-factum.

Not true at all.

You can't have a contemporary discussion about fascism without including race and racial superiority.

Yes you can.

Are you American? They don't know what fascism or communism means and always embarrass themselves when trying to use those words.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Are you American?

Worse, he's a Burglarian in Germany.

In a setting called "dictionary".

What else is in your setting, "shamans" are people who tinker with devices and produce wonders of technology? "warlocks" are professional boxers?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

"warlocks" are professional boxers?

No, they're very aggressive door closers.

 

[Lacrymas]

The official name for them is Warrior-Acolyte of the Sisterhood. Barbarian is a slang term for them.

 

[mondblut]

Ok.

Barbarian is a slang term for them.

But... why? What is exactly "barbaric" about them and how do they call actual savage tribesmen living at the outskirts of civilization?

 

[Lacrymas]

Because they fight with unbridled savagery and techniques learned/mimicked from the orcs. There are no tribesmen at the outskirts of civilization, there are only bandit camps and orcs (for now)

 

[Grunker]

In my setting Wizards are actually a kind of tribespeople who are illiterate, eat with their hands and shit in the woods. But they can do magic tricks, so y'know

 

[Lacrymas]

Ok
