This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Do We Really Need More Than the Core Four?

QuoteI just want to get a game together, pick up a few pizzas and play the game. I don't want to have to wait an hour while someone looks through ten pages about his characters feats or special abilities or whatever.

What was wrong with the basic classes?

Nothing. But people wants more option to emulate cool fantasy stuff, with confirmation in mechanics and not GM bias.
Simple solution for people slowing game is relegating all character-building stuff to... you know time between game sessions. So check your feats in home, or your GM gonna randomly roll you a feat, and you gonna live with it for next 3 years of gaming :P

You could make do with just one if you wanted to, but why would you want to?


For anti-wokeness reasons.  Tolkien is basically a woke "diversity is our strength" allegory where the Hobbits can't even take a ring to a volcano and drop it in without a bunch of other races joining to help, so "diversity is our strength." I'd prefer a game where simply humans alone can be heroes or player characters and all non-humans are monsters who exist only to be killed.  Anything less is wokeness.  And no this is not a joke.  More and more all the drama proves this point.  If you let people play elves and hobbits then they want to play orcs, and if you let them want to play orcs then they want to play Beholders, and then they agitate to remove any description of Beholders as evil from the monster manual.  So its a slippery slope that all started with allowing non-humans to be heroes.

did you just call LOTR woke lol
Battle doesn\'t need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don\'t ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don\'t ask why I fight.

I mean if you are professional edgelord whose whole personality curdled to being anti-woke and owning the libs, then sure Tolkien gonna be woke for you.
I mean guy spend decades trying to find proper solution for orcs status, rather than let his heroes enjoy slaying irredeemable monsters, so there's that :P
