Pathfinder Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Enhanced Plus Edition - now with turn-based combat

[Lacrymas]

And being the dominant archetype is better and that's why games should employ them? Seems like faulty logic to me. In any case, I'm really not triggered by women being warriors in my fantasy games, so I barely notice it. There are more pressing and bigger concerns than writers consciously making women warriors in their stories tbh. AND I don't think it's as big of a shift as you claim it is, name me 5 recent and high-profile-ish games in which women are predominantly the warriors and physical strength-based classes.

I'm good thanks. Until it effects your life I'd be wasting my time, and after it does I wouldn't need to make the argument.

 

[Lacrymas]

I'm really curious how that would affect my life. How has it affected your life? This is a serious question.

The conversation started when I complained that I didn't get the companions I wanted. There are quite a few companions in the game, I could easily have been accommodated. Alas, the Pathfinder Gods did not take me into account.

 

[Lacrymas]

What's wrong with Jubilost, Ekundayo, Harrim, the kineticist sisters and Nok-Nok? Don't tell me the clerical duties are a female's job and Harrim should've been a woman. You can turn Jaethal into a cleric maybe if that's the problem.

My Nok-Nok was capable of tanking about as well as my Valerie.

That's exactly what I am going to tell you. I want strong bros at the front and pretty nurses at the back. That's the party I would have, if it were up to me. Instead, I got strong women at the front and Tristian to heal me.

Not all companions have to be like that. Care for those who call all Pathfinder classes a "she", but care for me too. I can appreciate your game, help me have fun with it, Pathfinder.

My initial post was much more sophisticated than this, of course. You might want to read it.

You can tank with Amiri using Guarded Stance and the Animal Totem Natural Armor.

She reads what she wants to to advance her argument and ignores the rest. That’s how we got where we are.

Nok-Nok has absurdly high dex scores, you can turn him into a tank pretty easily.
Plus, he's a hero. Being a tank is a job for a hero.

Then make custom companions.

 

[ga♥]

Amiri having the wit of Sherazade seems a bit stretched, lads.

 

[Trashos]

Then make custom companions.

Are you really suggesting this as the ideal solution to this issue?

 

[Delterius]

Wow, ya have really gone off the deep end. To contribute, I just want to say, Hitler did nothing wrong. All hail the Nazi Empire.

welcome to the rpg codex

That's exactly what I am going to tell you.

next you'll tell me the pope should be a woman too

Pretty ironic avatar for someone so willfully blind. Where’s the Aragorn? Geralt? Arthur? Bolkonsky?

I’ll give you one example and one alone because you’ll just ignore it.

When I was in college at Georgia Tech I volunteered with an organization that went to the poorer elementary schools around Atlanta replacing the Dick and Jane type readers they had there with books that had black kids in them so they’d enjoy reading them more. It did work, the tutoring became much easier.

Thirty years later I went into teaching as a second career but due to the recession ended up subbing in suburban elementary schools for a year and a half. You know what I saw there? Not one book about a white boy. A gazillion of course about non-white girls, some white girls, fewer with non-white boys, several with animals.

If you think that makes me a racist then go fuck yourself. No matter how far you bury your head in the sand the Poz can, and will, bite you in the ass.

 

[Lacrymas]

Is the ideal solution to turn Tristian and Harrim into women and Valerie and Amiri into men because you want to have pretty nurses to heal you and accommodate you specifically? It seems completely narcissistic and entitled when you can just make custom companions.

and then you protested white genocide and everyone clapped as a bald eagle descended from the heavens to deliver you a signed photo of president reagan

The sanctity of the white boy must be protected! Hurry, invoke Socrates and say that true beauty is the contemplation of the naked bodies of young boys!

Perhaps we should belatedly stop feeding the SJW troll.

As I said, she ignores anything she can’t weaponize.

this might be the title once infinitron splits the thread

'the ethics of roman greek pedophilia and western civilization'

 

[Trashos]

I don't know what has happened to Lacrymas, we used to have good conversations in the PoE threads.

 

[ga♥]

Maybe you both should go back to the PoE threads and stay there? Just a suggestion.

As if only Republicans care about white boys. What the actual fuck. We were Anderson voters. I was also ten.
