Would you let her join your party?
>>45961195
What's the worst that could happen?
>>45961195
She looks like she wants to really give it a good try, so why not.
>>45961195
Sure. What could possibly go wrong? But she should hurry up, I promised my sister I'd be back home in time to celebrate her husband's retirement. Also she can borrow my lucky charm I got from my father, as a newbie she's gonna need it more than I.
>>45961195
"Well I'm gonna need to see how handy y'are with that hammer and spells. But in general; yeah sure....what's that look for eyeballs? Adventurers come in all kinds of weird shapes and sizes. There's a half-giant pacifist priest or something in one of the Southern Kingdoms f'r instance. Listen; it ain't about the adventurer on the outside that counts. It's the adventurer on the inside that counts.
...well that and being physically able to kill shit."

>>45961293

>>45961195
She can probably take down a mid-level adventuring party on her own, so the results of saying yes will probably be better than the results of saying no.
>>45961195
Having a Beholder in the party would be insanely OP, so I don't see why not.

Not sure how you got that idea out of that post but okay. Sounds neat.
Actually could be interesting if a DM arranged it without the players knowing. Character sheets all say their disguised race and they all think they're alone in keeping the secret with the DM.

What would it take for you to accept a succubus into your party?
>>45967136
Well as long as she doesn't put any moves on me or tricks me into signing any contracts on me I guess she's welcome.
>>45967136
she's trying to reform into a nun
there's no way to play a succubus seriously imo
>>45961195
we've already got the GC Paladin, I see no reason why not.
>>45967136
Nothing because I hate dank memes and refuse to deal with that shit
>>45967136
It depends on the setting. If it's the type of succubi /tg/ loves, ebin puritan charicatures who murder people for the lulz, then she's getting a sword in the face.
>>45964967
Who else is in there other than beholder-chan?
>>45961195
Since the 'head' of a beholder is already a large size creature, how big is this Paladin? Must be at least colossal.
>>45961277
By chance are you three days away from retirement?
>>45969523
Beholders also have a high WIS normally, so I assume she's not fully grown.

Sometimes, failing your perception check is just the better option.
>>45961195

Sounds like a lich and a dragon so far.
I think a fourth would be good.
Maybe a centaur pretending he's a man on a horse?
A kobold rogue with a bad mask might be fun too, but that seems like it might overlap with the dragon.
>>45961195
>>45970271
I don't know much about Beholders, but do you think she'd be genuinely curious and adamant about getting into human culture?
Would you accept a Beholder into your home (or dungeon, whichever one you have I guess) as part of the Cultural Exchange Between Species Bill?
>>45970340
Snake person cleric claiming to be dragging a big bag behind them for religious reasons.
War forged cleric of war focused entirely on defensive spells and his massive armor suit. He believes he is a human that's been cursed to never remove his armor.
>>45964967
This has been done more times than you probably think. I remember it being done twice by two different groups of friends in college.
>>45970382
Maybe.
Beholders are already super-racists, so one just approaching the humans might already be kind of open-minded. Or, it could get triggered by someone who has furry eyebrows and play super laser tag with the entire village.
>>45970012
>>45970460
This is kind of off topic, but your post reminded me of a setting I once played where all of the paladins in the entire 'lawful good holy religious faction' wore super heavy armor which they never took off, and they never spoke once. They were revealed to be warforged in disguise that fed off of human worship in order to grow in strength and planned to eventually take over the land, and thus our BBEG was revealed. The GM and our party's paladin played along with each other and the pally was a 'malfunctioning' warforged paladin who believed he was a human and decided to join the party, although his race was listed as 'human' until the big reveal.

sir bearington
>>45971349
why would you have a normal guy in an all monster party

This is exactly the kind of xD wacky shenanigans I thought was funny like ten years ago.

Sir Bearington adventures with whomever he pleases. He's too dapper to be a racist.
>>45970340
hes a cavalier, thats why he never gets off his horse. hes also smug so he never gets off his high horse either.
>>45971391
need to have at least one normal guy that realizes that all of the party members are monsters but doesn't say anything for fear they'll kill him so he won't reveal their secrets.
This is so much my God damned last Pathfinder group. I played a human fighter who was only ever concerned about making gold to make ends meet. Our party was a kobold, kitsune, wereboar, air elemental and then my human. The second everyones disguises failed and he realized that everyone was polymorphed or disguised or using some bullshit illusions he was absolutely furious. Then he realized that everything suddenly made sense because he was constantly being used to stand behind by the rest of the party, they kept handing him money to buy things on their part when they could've just walked a few feet from some random corner they were hiding in.Then the party found out that he was actually a human and couldn't believe it. The rest of the game was the party trying to guess what his disguise or real form was. They brought up so many secrets and things he wanted to stay buried in his past in the process... The wereboar still doesn't believe it.
>>45967136

>>45973900
Actually, it didn't. It originated on rpgnet, and was just reposted on /tg/ with a few changes, such as updating it to be in the most popular game at the time.
That's largely why the story doesn't make any sense, since 3.5 doesn't work at all like the writer thought it does.

>>45961195
She looks strong, looks like she can handle herself in a fight and has some good uses for being a beholderand she looks extremely cute and I want to do lewd things with her.
>>45973900
spectators are a medium sized type of beholder. still too large to fit in but with a reduce spell it might work.

What does the dragon look like under the helm while wearing it though?

One of my favorite things to do is throw an "innocent succubus" at parties and watch that one guy inevitably try to give her chance.
She always ends up turning on them and I have to explain that she's a fucking succubus and lives on evil/seduction/betrayal.
>>45984881
what?
wait do you mean with all the armor on or just the helmet on or what?

>>45971957
>>45985023
Well, the helmet would probably be the catalyst for the resizing, so with just the helmet, it would look like a human-sized dragon with a helmet on. With all the armor, polymorphic enchantments included, it would probably look like a regular knight, with some off-looking features that could give away the illusion.also in my head the dragon's a female
>>45985251Likewise in my head too.
>>45976139Since she's not actually wearing that armor, just animating it, does that mean it's not technically holding hands?

Alternatively, a monk
>>45961195
If someone managed to pull out enough bullshit to make a beholder cleric/paladin work then they have caught my attention and I want to see where this shit is going. If the other characters like her then they can play along and go on adventures with beholder-chan. I'm sure we can find something with a hood.
>>45966242
>>45969523
Beholders don't have limbs and a torso normally either so maybe it has shapeshifted into a humanoid form? (Or maybe it just shapeshifted into a slightly smaller form and uses telekinesis to move the rest of the empty armour and weapons. Always making excuses for not removing the heavy armour.)

IIRC Grace is dead loyal unless you act like an evil dickhead. Then she's the first to skip out on you.
Which makes sense; she's not bound to you in the same way as Dak'kon or Morte are, and she's probably the closest to good aligned of all the companions (Morte being CG is a joke) based on her arguments with Vhailor.

No, Succubi tend to be far more amicable and duplicitous than other demons, who are more straightforward in how they go about destroying things.
And I don't even bother having the Succubus transform into anything but a Succubus. I have them be open about being a demon. Players still take the bait.
They never do anything but kill Hezrou, and Balors, and other demons on sight.

Our rogue was kissed by a Vargouille once. As soon as we found a telekinesis ring and a way to attach it to one of his tentacles, he was actually better at his job than before the transformation.
It helped that the player knew how to play neutral evil without going murderhobo or saturday cartoon villain.
