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

Anyway, I just don't get why lacrymas hate magocracy but accept theocracy so easily...
Thay touched him, but he refuses to show us where on the doll.

Doll's vodoo, that's why.
Won't that just means he would be touching it more often, then?
Not that kind of voodoo dammit.
No take backsies!
Agreed. The voodoo doll is yours now. :smug:

What if its not a race, but just something very smart people learn at wizard school? A mystery cult, rather than a bloodline.
As long as it's not framed as the master race born privileged to become members of the wizard school. But my main gripe with wizards was never whether they are fascy or not, it has always been the inevitable magocratic tyranny that will ensue. And the plot insulation power of magic. And the impossibility of balancing martials vs mages in the gameplay sense.

As if wizzos wouldn't spend most of their time fighting each other rather than the rest of the world
That might just limit how much political power a single wizard has, but it will still be a magocracy because no other group would be strong enough to be their equal. In my setting, the ecclesiarchy consists of members of all major factions in the hegemonic symmachy, not just the three churches (even though they can exert quite a lot of influence due to various reasons).

Beg to differ dude, no one ever heard of a unified coaltion of insufferable know-it-alls. :lol:
