I hate monks.
Now, don't get me wrong: there are ways where "hitting shit with your fists" works. Exalted has the whole Greek Myth-meets-anime thing going on, and the martial arts make sense because they bend reality to make it work as well as swords and crossbows and shit. And since the setting is so Asian, and the only important martial artists story-wise are Immaculates and Sidereals, it ends up more-or-less working.
But games like D&D? Absolutely not. Putting aside that they clash thematically with the obvious Tolkien/Western-inspired design...

First of all...
>games like D&D
>pretense of realism
And second of all, you provided your own solution in first part of your post.
>and the martial arts make sense because they bend reality to make it work as well as swords and crossbows and shit

Next time you play a Monk, make it a Western-styled monk who worships a god and gains power from his faith. Like an ascetic hybrid of Cleric/Paladin but instead of using magic, they channel their faith and discipline inwards.
And instead of having your Monk-stuff called "Flying Crane Kick" or whatever, have them be called "Shepherd breaks the asshole's jaw" or something.

How important is it for a character's appearance to reflect their stats?
Would you accept something like a little girl with 20+ Strength or Constitution?
>>46266253
Depends on your group sempai
>>46266253
Stats are a combination of knowing how to use what you have, your actual physical capability, and so on.
I know how to safely lift something that's 50lbs and carry it. Someone of my strength who would try that without experience and training would have their backs snap in half.

Roll it up your back? I can lift and carry thing more than twice my weight that way, it doesn't really have much to do with strength.
Hello and welcome back to Mortal Kombat Thief Quest, a continuation of Mortal Kombat Konquest.
When we last left our ill-fated hero, he travelled into the Ashlands with his vampire companion, Nitara. There they met Khameleon and found themselves dealing with the priests of the ancient Dragon King who guarded the Lava Shrine of the last dragon egg. Despite their efforts, the prophecy of the return of Onaga came true due to Reptile willingly bringing about the return of the former Emperor of Outworld in his own body. After escaping with what they came for, Cao can only...

Cao looks over at Khameleon. "Well, I wish you luck on your... quest," he says to her before turning. "I have to go find my sisters."
"Well, I'm not in a hurry," she says, changing back into her normal, grey-colored clothing and appearance. "The Dragon King is all the way across the sea. I'd actually like to see what has become of Z'unkahrah in my absence."
"Kotal Kahn has changed the city quite a bit," he tells her as they walk along. His thoughts stray to the Emperor, who undoubtedly will not be...

Why would sentinels even meddle with that? Aren't they are not supposed to be political operatives, they handle x-threats.
Lazy day ahead of me, so I don't have any plans of suddenly being kill. I purposely didn't upload a chart because even though I'm totally down for gnolls, machines, and yetis, it's not like you have limitations. Just pick a reasonable race and location.

Thanks mates.
So how's Armada?
Is it worth picking up now or waiting for release?

Shadows Over Innistrad full spoiler is up. What are you going to play?
Ps4
EDH until the eldrazi bans come through. Really tired of 75% of the modern decks in the local meta being eldrazi. Playing fundamentally the same deck over and over again gets boring fast.

Chad Thundercock is a dank meme from robots and foreveralones on 4chan to reference the clean-cut football stars who fucked a dozen girls in High School and never knew what it's like to even be remotely lonely. The female equivalent is Stacey.
Thundercock is a reference to his mighty hammer-like penis, which slays many maidenhoods throughout his life.

It's even got that new thread smell.
>>46262757
So what exactly is the discord server? I've heard it mentioned here but I've never bothered visiting the site.
Also, I have a general thread question. What is your main "role" in your group, or main group if you play in multiple groups? Does your group tend to mix up who plays what role in a party a lot or does everyone tend to stick in a similar role in each campaign? In my groups, though I mix it up from time to time, I generally find myself taking up the tanky melee role. I've played a lot of fighters and clerics, and recently picked up paladin because I actually like how they made paladins in 5e. Even my casters I try to make a bit more tanky than some of my other tablemates.
>>46262833
I personally just make a character and fit in with whatever role is left over. For example, in the first 5e campaign I played in, I rolled a paladin of vengeance, and ended up being the party's face (because I was the only one with a set of ethics or a reasonable goal and a decent charisma) and the party's healer (because no one else rolled anything that could actually heal). In the second campaign I made a monk, and ended up being the main source of damage since I could attack things more than once.

Is it just me or does Shadows Over Innistrad have a terrible art direction and writing to match, especially when compared to the original Innistrad Block?
There seems to be so many women featured on the majority of cards I swear Innistrad is havind a male population crisis, not to mention Blacula and other out of place ethnicities in a European setting.
Also MtG Art & Writing Discussion General I guess.
>>46262348
So you mean like everything Magic's produced in the last few years?
Who would have thought.
>>46262348
It's just you.
You aren't wrong about the female thing, its much more apparent this time around and you can definitely see the bias in showing women in strong positions while the men are either rabid, mad, or ghosts in most depictions.
You're absolutely wrong on the art direction though, most of it looks fantastic and the odd case like in your picture are few and far in-between.
You're also wrong about ethnicity thing considering they were already there in original innistrad.
