This is your own damn fault, OP.

You sound like a salty little bitch.

I'm sorry I thought I was joining a role playing game not a combat simulator.
I may have been confused because of how there was role playing going on.

And that was your first mistake.

Time you could have spent showing how you're a charisma aligned character. Instead you were a wet blanket in the dungeon so the rest of the group didn't know that was your thing back in town.
>>47926143
Oh, wait, I get it now. This is a thinly veiled Pathfinder hate thread.
7/10 OP. You had me going for a minute.

Human Paladin 5 / Sorcerer 1 / Dragon Disciple X
STR>CHA>CON>INT>WIS>DEX
20 point buy 14(+2 Human)>16>14>12>10>8
Enough skills/charisma to negociate, awesome dragon powers, a smite ability, Dragon Disciple stat boost play well with paladin, Smite Evil.
There you go. Equip a Greatsword, take the feat Still Spell, the background that gives you a free +1 spell level on a single spell, bind it on the shield spell and gets both the benefit of a 2-hander and a shield at level 2.

That's like going to the gay male stripjoint and acting surprised at the lack of women anon.
>>47926110
The second they said "All roles are filled" you should have just assumed it was going to be a hack and slash meatgrinding simulator, since classes aren't really that big a deal in roleplay heavy games.
>>47926262
>>47926314
Oh look, it's eternally triggered bitch-anon.
>>47926610
Isn't that everyone on /tg/?
At least it isn't Dungeon World, op.
>>47926770
is there even a charisma stat in dungeon world?
>>47926782
Yes. As the rest of the system, it's useless. You just need to scream higher than the GM to do what you want.

>Join a game using a munchkin-infested rollplaying system
>whine when you can't roleplay and contribute
That's what you get for being a 3.PFcuck.
>>47926816
I've never seen this problem with Dungeon World. Do you play with rude people who lack social skills? That would do it.
>>47926782
It's the dump stat
>>47927666
>Dungeonworld
>Good
HAHAHA
I needed that laugh, Anon
>>47926967
So when are you releasing the Trump RPG "Make Dungeons Great Again", O alpha male?
I'll take "Problems that would be eased if not solved outright by discussing expectations and goals with the rest of the party like a healthy human being" for 800, Alex.
>>47929630
It's already out, it's called Fantasy Craft.
>>47930027
>Spellbound never
>>47926147
No, Pathfinder was the first mistake.
