what would you think about someone playing a character who wields a katana but isn't a trenchcoat wearing edgelord but just an amicable guy all around?
Ted, we're playing a bronze-age campaign in Shang Dynasty China.
The katana hasn't been invented yet.
fuck off
>>44503507
Why would you want to combine a trenchcoat with a katana? If anything he should wear traditional Japanese clothing
>>44503507
I would think he is an amicable guy all around
>>44503610
Because the '00s were awful.
>>44503965
>00s
>>44503610
Samurai 7 had some great "Retro-Futuristic" Japanese clothing designs.
>>44503994
You heard me.
>>44503507
Stop obsessing over props.
It's just a hat.
It's just a sword.
It's just a coat.
>>44503507
Skintight, form-fitting morphsuit and katana
>>44503994
>that pic
>00's
>autism triggered
1986 you faggot!!!
>>44504028
But with those powers combined...
>>44504040
how is your autism?
>>44504040
That was exactly his point you sperg.
>>44504010
The only true Highlander sequel. The only other acceptable piece of Highlander media apart from the 1st movie.
>>44503507
>i let a stereotype that doesn't exist anymore because it was beaten into a pulp 10 years ago affect me
whatever faggot
>>44504010
There was a Highlander anime?
>>44504077
You didn't like the TV show?
>>44503507
I would have to sit across from them and see how they play. Otherwise, see >>44504028

>I haven't seen this thing since I never leave the basement therefore it doesn't exist
whatever faggot
>>44504097
>he doesn't WOAH-OH-OH-AH-AH-AH-AAAA-HA-AH-AH-AH
>>44504097
Yes.
It was awful. And I like anime.
Well he is just effectively using a shortsword damage wise so I don't really care.
>>44503507
I would judge him based on his reason for having a katana. So long as it isn't stupid I'm fine with it. Hell I had a character in shadow run who just bought a katana from a pawn store because he thought it would make him cool.
>>44504097
It was fucking terrible. Like the Wolverine-Anime.
Make any cool fighter character concept.
Give him a katana.
>>44504109
God no.
The fourth movie was also abysmal.
>>44504221
>And I like anime
Opinion discarded then.
>>44504028
>tfw played as a character who traveled extensively before joining the party and even went to the "asian" human lands across the sea
>DM still refused to let him have a sedge hat
>Character has no mementos from his travels in japanland at all
>>44504363
>>44503507
Ah think he's a limp-wristed, milk drinkin, dress wearin' pansy in a funny hat, but a' least he kin fight alright!
>my character wields a katana and comes from a proud martial tradition
>it's this fucking guy
>>44504354
Oh come on, the campiest gay dude eternally fighting to prevent heterosexual consensual sex from happening in the fifth movie was great.
>>44504180
>i haven't seen this thing precisely because i was in many groups and didn't just sat on freeform RP forums
whatever faggot

I've never seen a problem with katanas provided they're not overpowered in relation to other weapons
A sword is a sword
>>44503507
Was this thread always a regular occurrence? I seem to see it popping up a lot, but I don't spend too much time here.
>>44505094
It seems to be developing into one of those "boogeymen" memes, like we all have to deal with this regularly and we have to stomp it out.
Mercifully, I do not experience it.
>>44503507
Why not wearing a Kimono and carrying a longsword?
>>44503507
That he wanted to learn to sword fight, and it was either a Kendo dojo that had it's shit together or a community college club who were on par with 8 year olds wielding toy light sabers. He stayed with a Katana because it is the weapon his lessons were based off of.
>>44504560
Highlander 5 made me go hollow
>>44504522
>tfw my character wielded a basket hilt sword with a parrying dagger
>came from a proud martial tradition
>half the group immediately started saying that Europeans didn't have martial traditions or passed down teachings about the fighting
>DM made sure to make a parrying a thing that is only kinda sorta a mechanic even though its part of the system
Since a successful parry meant a highly increased chance to hit with significantly increased critical chance( it actually decreased my enemies chance to guard and or dodge while making it easier for my character to nail them in a vital area) and the RP had a strong PvP mechanic to it, my build would have meant I was practically guaranteed at least a kill in any PvP encounter where our levels were close.
>>44505362
>half the group immediately started saying that Europeans didn't have martial traditions or passed down teachings about the fighting
What
>>44504449
At least try to use proper Scots lad.
>Ah hink he's a soft cunt wi a daft bonnet, but at least he can gi' a pure square go!
>>44503507
if it make sens for you to have, and if you have the skill to use it im ok. If someone hands me their character sheet and has a katana "to look cool" he is going to brake the blade with in one or two swing because he wont have a idea how to keep it clean and how fucking fragile katanas are
>>44504363
but... he was saying that it sucked, isn't that agreeing with you?
>>44505415
Well obviously ever generation learns their fighting style from scratch by themself.
>>44505546
And how to make weapons and armor, too, I guess.
>>44505350
It was the most 80s action movie of the 00s.
I still recommend playing Ghost Dog, as I mentioned in the past two threads this autisticly posted.
>>44504040
That was literally what he was saying.
You fucking idiot.
>>44504953
Is it true that this is the only good part of the Highlander anime
