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

[Reinhardt]

Btw judging from Lacrymas behaviour in diablo 2 remake thread you REALLY don't want to meet "woman" "barbarian" in dark alley in his setting.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Barbarian

school

sisterhood

Not sure if serious.

 

[Lacrymas]

They learn the techniques/special abilities of the Barbarian class in the school/sisterhood.

 

[Storyfag]

Barbarian

school

sisterhood

Not sure if serious.

Wait, this is gonna be even better than the arcane magic retardation.

 

[Larianshill]

Going to girl only school to become a barbarian is probably the weirdest shit I've read in this thread, and this thread started with castrate paladins.

 

[Reinhardt]

They learn the techniques/special abilities of the Barbarian class in the school/sisterhood.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

 

[Lacrymas]

It's not a school in the sense of children going there, it's just where they learn the techniques and it's an individual, recognized institution.

 

[Reinhardt]

Special institution where you learn how to be barbarian...

 

[Larianshill]

This hardly makes it better. What, is it a girl-only Cobra Kai? Do they teach the way of the axe? Strike first, strike hard, no mercy?

 

[Lacrymas]

Yes, as in the class mechanics/abilities. They are called barbarians because they fight extremely savagely. The lore has nothing to do with the D&D lore.

 

[Reinhardt]

Sorry, it's this time of the month again. I don't want to be barbarian.

 

[Larianshill]

Are you sure you want to play DnD? There are other systems out there which you might like much more.

 

[Reinhardt]

get real mad

Woman barbarian activates rage.
"what's wrong?"
"nothing!"
"come on, honey, i see you are angry"
"I SAID EVERYTHING OK!!!"

 

[Trithne]

How do new Barbarians get born then? It isn't like Barbarian is a profession; it is a way of life.

That is why I said it's Barbarian as in the class/mechanics, not as a way of life. Well, it kind of becomes a way of life when a woman decides to join their school. The woman has to have lost a child (as in it died), however, in order to be allowed in the sisterhood.

Bitch, that's a Prestige Class, not a run of the mill Barbarian.

Miscarriage Warrior.

All the cardinals who elected me pope say you are full of shit.

You're not Pope Amole II

 

[Gangrelrumbler]

But what does the depiction of arcane magic in D&D adventure books and official novels have to do with your faulty reasons for bannng mages in your setting?

It has to do with the origin of my dislike of arcane magic.

Are you deliberately trolling people right now?
Let me sum-up your logic for banning mages as presented by you yourself in this thread. You won't allow arcane magic because option to create new spells makes it too hard to control. You won't remove the option of creating new spells because then your world would be incompatible with material intended for Forgotten Realms. Which is a huge problem because you despise FR.

 

[Yosharian]

They learn the techniques/special abilities of the Barbarian class in the school/sisterhood.

I didn't think I could lose any more respect for you Lacrymas but oh look there goes a little bit more

Truly one of the most astonishingly retarded things I have ever read

 

[Gangrelrumbler]

Look here. There might be systems where arcane magic is handled a bit better than DnD, but none of these will give you an excuse to play as a castrati Paladin.

 

[Savecummer]

I dont actually have a problem with banning wizards but castrating pallys for sex is actually moronic and doesnt work in any setting.
Who is castrating them? Other pallys? Why would they do this to their own tribe?
What happens if a pally says "fuck you, ill make my own order with blackjack and hookers - we still casting"?

Its just doesnt make sense from a human self preservation and power sharing perspective.
In all of human history, all monarch were very careful around the "warrior caste". No tribe hurts its members for trivialities.
Punishment like castration is insanely high and is applied and tolerated to their own only when the evildoers does something to monumentally hurt the caste itself.
A cult like in Lacrymas setting does not survive 5 years.

1. The churches are castrating them.
2. This is the vow of chastity they swear and that is required of them to be Paladins in the first place.
3. You can do that, nobody is stopping you, you'll just be a social pariah.

The churches are not a walking talking acting things. Someone has to apply brutal force. We live in a society...
Its neither believable nor plausible that soldiers/warriors/paladins/the-force-applying-caste would castrate their own for breaking some oath.
Sex is not a transgression that actively hurts the paladin caste, their own brothers, oath or not. Deserting does, raping another paladin - sure, fucking a maid? Nope.
They could excommunicate them from the religion/order, as is done - but that just creates pallys that dont give a fuck about the retarded oath.
They keep the healing power, right?
This idea makes absolutely no sense, and is funny since you eliminate wizards for their power grabbing tendencies - justified by your common sense.
Yet, severe bodily harm for practically nothing is a-ok...
Its Dumb.
The combination of oath-castration-soldiercaste is never gonna happen. The individual ideas, sure. Combo - No.

If the church has enforcers that are not pallys, why would pallys let them castrate their own? Oath or not. Why would pallys be in a church that CASTRATES them?
Pallys are peak soldier in the setting - they can heal mortal wounds!
It just doesnt have hand a foot, this thing.

Id be genuinely interested in an example of a human society where the soldier-caste experienced high punishment for crimes against non-soldiers. Punishments that go way above eye-for-an-eye.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

only women Barbarians.

What say you, ERYFKRAD?

Herr Reinhardt said it far better than I could.

 

[Oberon]

If an ex Paladin joins the barbarian school is it kind of like when a tranny joins women's UFC?

No, I do remove the possibility to create their own spells when I DM. The setting is already plagued with rampant arcane magic use in general and that is reflected in the stories being told. The two aren't connected.

 

[Desiderius]

Lacrymas is truly the only person capable of uniting the codex... Sadly only against his nonsensical shenanigans it seems though...

Trying to win her way back into Larian's good graces.

If the issue is resolved why remove the arcane magic altogether?

 

[Lacrymas]

Why would pallys be in a church that CASTRATES them?

Why would castrati be castrated in order to sing high roles when they can just sing tenor roles and below, and let women sing the high roles? Society at large isn't, and has never been, 100% logical and intellectually rigorous. People have grown very complacent with the freedoms of modernity methinks.

 

[Lacrymas]

If the issue is resolved why remove the arcane magic altogether?

Because I don't want arcane magic in my setting due to the slew of reasons I already mentioned? If I create a setting in which arcane magic exists, I am going to severely limit it there and "solve" the issues. If the issues can really be solved while arcane magic exists. I am vindicated in my perspective when I see the amount of backlash I get all the time when I mention my setting doesn't feature arcane magic.
