Gnomes aren't as bad as people make em out to be, it's mostly just the people behind them. Of course, I'm talking about WoW gnomes here. Seeing as I can't really comment on the DnD kind. It's too bad that I'm still obligated to dislike them.

For the Horde!

Leper Gnomes > normal Gnomes :D

[Mina Kobold]

I like gnomes. Haflings aren't entirely ripped of LotR(they're thievery and have shoes). But I dislike Garl glittergold (gnome god) for collapsing a cave on the kobold god, according to Races of the Dragon all kobold god (forgot his name) did was to build a large mine for his people (which Garl destroyed on him) but when Garl ruined his dream but the other gods gave him (the kobold) a choice: his mine our to be the god and martyr of his people (he chose the last, heroic aint it).


On another note, what about "draconic week" that'll give some choices and be close to "kobold week" (Kobolds originated from Tiamat and that good dragon it fight's blood stain in their battle, awesome)

[Shades of Gray]

Regarding the halfling thief thing: Hobbits were renowned thieves, and Bilbo in his earlier years was hired as one by Gandalf and the dwarves to get treasure from a dragon.

DnD didn't invent the Halfling Thief stereotype.

Actually that they where good as thief's is a coincidence. At Bilbo's time at least there was none Hobbit thief's and all Hobbits was peaceful people. Gandalf just like to mess with people.

Counter-arguments ahoy!


Why does everyone hate gnomes?! There is nothing wrong with them, save misrepresentation! They have been portrayed as annoying pranksters, annoying tinkerers, and annoying halflings, just more annoying!
Arguably, if something's portrayed exclusively as annoying, it probably is. While outside of D&D gnomes are seen usually as "earth dwellers", and caring deeply for nature, D&D attempted to recast the race, and make them more interesting, particularly for players. Hence we get the idea of Gnome tricksters, to appeal to those who want to play prankster characters. Ultimately, it was decided that Gnomes simply did not appeal enough players, and was removed for that reason.

If I were in charge, I'd just get rid of halfings and have gnomes replace them. Halflings have no place in D&D, it's ripping off Tolkien. Actually, they were originally called 'hobbits', but Tolkein's lawyers intervened. SRD changed the name to halfings. For some reason, that was okay.
Halflings have been in D&D since first edition, when they were called hobbits, yes. And yes, they were blatantly copied from Tolkien. However, since then the race of Halflings have been developed to fit with how they are played, and they no longer really resemble Hobbits.

Halflings have no place in D&D. Gnomes have the potential to be a really awesome race. D&D is just leeching off LotR's popularity with tall, hot elves, orcs, grumpy comedic-relief dwarves, and HALFLINGS!
Gnomes may have had the potential to be an awesome race, but they weren't liked. So they have lost whatever potential they might have had. If you can re-fluff Gnomes to improve upon them, feel free. I mean, it can't be hard, 4chan pulled it off with Sergals (but don't tell /b/ that).
And you're knowledge of both LotR and D&D seems lacking. Elves have always been described as attractive, but Tolkien made his tall, while D&D kept theirs short. Tolkien did not create Orcs, but did define their role in most modern fantasy. And as for dwarfs, in Tolkien, and D&D, they are a very serious race. I don't know where you got the comic relief idea from.

That was more my complaint with the movie, I admit. But a lot of guys roleplay dwarves that way. Not to mention, originally dwarves were nothing like D&D's and Tolkein's.
And when it comes to elves, you are completely wrong. Elves were always described at beautiful, TINY fairies. Tolkein made them more 'material'. The closest to modern day elves back then were the elves with hollowed backs like a tree.
A lot of the complaints I'm listing here are with the movie, though, I admit.

So, it would appear that I haven't really made myself clear here.
I agree that gnomes have sucked. That's because nobody has bothered to give them anything good. They deserve the PHB more than halflings do. Gnomes are a pretty good staple of fantasy. They've been around for a while. Halflings are just something the SRD brought in because they wanted to build off Tolkein's popularity. And they stayed.
Gnomes have a lot of potential as races. As a more original race than halflings, who were around first,they could quite easily take the halflings' place. It's not fair that a race that's only been around for a little while gets to be a main race, while another one gets kicked out.:smallannoyed:

Wrong. In several cultures, for example Early Modern England, elves were described as tiny creatures, but in many, older, cultures, elves were human sized. Indeed, the oldest known references to elves come from Norse mythology, where Elves were human sized, and English took the word elf from the Norse word álfr.

But D&D Gnomes have never really been anything like classic Gnomes. They had more in common with Dwarves, and were nothing like Halflings, and only resembled Hobbits in that they lived underground. If we want traditional Gnomes, we get creatures that are 18" high, and care for wildlife. This isn't something people want to play, so TSR (which is what I think you mean by SRD) recreated them.

[Mina Kobold]

An medieval danish fairy tale speaks of the "elverfolk" (because of that name we call fantasy elf's "elver" and the other elf's (small fairy ones) another name) They where nice but beware, the elven maidens lured young men into dancing with them, if you was lured into dancing they would make you dance till you died. To get away all you had to do is to concentrate on the truth: They don't exist. Then you'll get away and they'll never get you again.

Weird story right. Tolkien could had known this story since it says they are human like, beautiful (in the original, I can't remember it all) and they live in the wood (also original story, in fact they lived in a hill in a forest filled with magic beings such as lake-mens) but that's just a possibility not a fact (and would mean Tolkien ripped of someone else) but it's very close to the empty back ones you mentioned Gremlin, so I guess it aint so new if we dig deep enough. Hmm "elven" and "elver" is close, what a coincidence.

And my dwarf character aint comedy relief (he's a cleric and still more lawful and serious than our paladin) by the way.

1. D&D will die the day when halflings wont be in the PHB.

2. Gnomes are simply not all that cool. Sure, tinker gnomes and whisper gnomes are cool, but they suck overall. (although they would have been better off in the 4th edition PHB instead of the dragonborn).

Hey, I like dragonborn. :smallfrown:

[Shades of Gray]

The main reason that people hate Dragonborn is that it pretty much is the poster-boy of 4E, and many people dislike it. I personally, am neutral on the 3.5 v 4E, I run a game of both. 3.5 for the people who are veterans, and 4E for the newbies. Most of the arguments are just that the game discourages roleplaying, but I find that it leaves more room for it. By not having as much rules in the way, nothing is interfering with RP at all, unlike Paladin's required alignment and code.

Well, if you want to talk about the movies; The first one was kinda decent and the second one was crap. Not dissing the special effects or anything, but S.E. don't make a good movie by themselves.

Huh...maybe because it broke rule 5 and 9? I'll rather wait until someone aproves that as FFF, because as I mentioned before, I am still not quite sure about what I can do, and what not.

And foremost, I didnt even though of that as FFF when I drew that...its just something like random kill.

[Wreckingrocc]

As for the gnomes v. halflings debate, it's all based on the roleplayer. I think WotC retracted gnomes from being core simply because they were very vague on what they were supposed to be...

Personally, I like the WoW-esque gnomes. They're silly, but not necessarily annoying. They love tinkering, and they're crazy-inventive.

The best gnome I've ever seen played was a tinker gnome wizard-alchemist. He didn't enter until about an hour into the game, and he fell from the sky. His airship had been destroyed in mid-flight, so he jumped out the window and fell about a thousand feet. Don't ask how he lived... It would kill the character's style. He ended up helping us because the military offered him money for the task... Money he needed to repair his airship =P

It was a pretty sweet character.

I think gnomes need to be the inventive type, and definitely not the happy-goofy type. Those are often actually very annoying.

Halflings, on the other hand, are simply lame in 4e. I've only ever seen one played once... They're pretty much only decent rogues and/or warlocks, and they can't do anything else... But, then again, they kind of get beaten down by the superior drow. I loved halflings in 3.5, though.

Also, Q, rule breaking may be very fun for you, but to us, it's annoying, and I personally would've probably liked you as a poster a great deal more had you not god-modded. I think some of the funniest stuff has come from your character, but only if the power is used right.

For example, see SoG's comic of beating you up and throwing you off the Vendetta, followed by you teleporting back on... Only to be thrown off again.

[Keris]

More lethal? I though that death actualy cant die:smallconfused:
"That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die."


For example, see SoG's comic of beating you up and throwing you off the Vendetta, followed by you teleporting back on... Only to be thrown off again.

Arguable, throwing Q off the Vendetta is against the rules, because SoG gave him no time to, for instance, try and break out of Oliver's grip. But then again, Q is a God character, which is also against the rules.

Basically, we allow a certain flexibility in the rules, provided comics made do not permanently affect other characters in adverse ways. Exceptions are allowed for major Plot comics, or when it's just funny.

In the case of fishing with Fayte, he hasn't done anything in a while, and has been seen wandering off the edge of the island in other people's comics, so I say it's not against the rules.

[Mina Kobold]

Yeah, it may TECHNICALLY be godmodding, but it has no real repercussions, and is thus okay. If it had really had the effect of throwing Q off, without his permission, THEN it would be bad.

http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv155/skimmer21/ABRgraf.png

Race: Shapechanger (fox) - Shapechangers are originaly a common animals with the ability to take on human form, so unlike werewolves which can maintain complete human form, schapechangers still shows some of their animal aspects such as animal ears or tail, on the contrary when werewolves can maintain mostly animal shape in some sort of humanoid form, shapechangers have ability fully transform in their true animal form.
All schapechagers usualy obtain their abilites by encountering magical anomaly of some sort, which sometimes randomly apears in whole Avbaroy.
Because of their rare origin and independence on certain animal kind, they are not able create any type of society and usualy wander in larger towns and cities, mostly because of food.
Due to their magical origin and ability shapeshift, they also possess high regenaration ability thus they are able to stop bleeding within seconds and even regrow lost limbs in matter of days.
Even though they are originaly an animals, they learn extremely quickly thus they are able to talk, act even think like other humans in matter of 4-8 years, however for unknown reason is extremely hard for them understand how magic works and casting spells is for them almost imposible.

Class: Monk(main)/Rogue

Aligment: Lawfull neutral

Equipment: Giant bell - used as acoustic quarterstaff weapon. Direct contact with sound waves usualy causes disorientation, deafness and in worst cases even stun and paralysis (not to mention that big headache).
Bag of holding - contains lot of random stuff like fishing rod for example.

Future imperfect backstory: Personaly she values Resistance as heroes for what they done in the past, but now she sees in them great danger and cause of curent war (well, I think it is war of some sort), so she joined UNA as mercenary from her own free will to hunt them down and keep peace and prosperity in whole Avbaroy (yes, she is naive:smallsmile:).

Welcome to the right side, comrade *salutes*. And yes, aiding those terrorist in destroying our most perfect world would be crime against oneself as well as against every good citizen. Let us hunt some crimethinkers! :smallbiggrin:

Race: Shapechanger (fox) - Shapechangers are the result of a rare magical mutation, only occurring when natural animals come into contact with a particular magical anomaly. This mutation grants the animal human intellect, and the ability to change to a humanoid form. However, some animal features are retained in this form, such as ears and tails. The precise features retained varies, seemingly randomly for each Shapechanger.
The residual magical energy present in each Shapechanger commonly grants them a regenerative ability, sometimes in addition to other magical abilities.
Despite this, and a natural aptitude for learning, Shapechangers have so far proved unable to learn the art of magic, whether by wizardry or some other method.

Class: Monk(main)/Rogue

Aligment: Lawful neutral

Equipment: Giant bell - A magical quarterstaff which deals sonic damage, and can cause disorientation to those nearby, stunning them temporarily.
Bag of holding - Containing random items to be used as the situation dictates, e.g. the fishing rod Fayte was attached too.

Role in Future Imperfect: Skimmer, while valuing the heroic deeds some of the Resistance members undertook in the past, cannot understand why they oppose the UNA, and works for UNIA as a mercenary, hoping to take the Resistance alive, and give them a chance to work for the betterment of Avbaroy.

I though of that too:smallamused:, Skimmer surely isnt only shapechanger in whole Avbaroy, just chance that there will be two of fox (bear, wolf, serpent...) schapechangers is certainly low. There is a lot of diferent animals.

I recently found an old "How To Draw Chibi Manga" book I bought years ago and has been kicking around my house for a while unused. To convince myself it wasn't a waste of money, I sat down for 20 straight seconds and drew this:

OK, sorry. But I'm a little tired of the_Q saying over and over that he's ~80 years old, when in fact he has no evidence of that and behaves like a teenager/young adult. Although if he could take multiple pictures of himself I would easily believe him.

For once, Mad Mask is completely correct.

I am actually a teenage whippersnapper who is part of a scientific government experiment (because ALL scientific experiments are government) to act another age to see if a teenager can convince people world wide that he is of a very different age!

Of course, I really could be 80 years old using sarcasm, or is screwing around with you all. :smalltongue:

Or maybe one of each! :tongue:

You can believe whatever you want, but I stand by all my comments about how I am 83 years old.

Fake explaination: I figured it was more penguin man-ish.

[Fawkes]

I didn't believe he was actually that old until he posted that he had a stroke. After that, I convinced myself that he's telling the truth, because the thought of someone lying about something like that would really piss me off.

Believing is easier.

Fake explaination: I figured it was more penguin man-ish.

Real explanation: shut up.

:smallbiggrin: I laughed out loud LOL'ed (:smallamused:)at that.
Also, awesome drawings. Minor nitpick: The eyepiece is on the other side.
As to the age: It is my opinion that if someone says that they're 20, they're 20. If they say they're 5, they're five. If they say that they're 200, I tell them to call Guinness World Records.
People have the right to say whatever age they're comfortable with. On many forums, I claim to be in my 20s because most people there are about that old and I want them to treat me as an equal. It may come off as odd, but it was my habit back when my parents were worried about me posting on forums and I got used to it. I only stopped doing it here because there were a lot of people who weren't much older.
Anyways, what I'm saying is: If Q is 80, then it's fine. If he isn't, then while it is odd to pretend to be much older, it's still fine.:smallsmile:

But Q is always really pissing people off.
Anyhow I totaly agree with MM, I think pretty much nothing Q has said about himself has been true. If i'm wrong I am very sorry but that's my opinion.:smallsigh:

Surely Q has some pictures of himself taken without a digital camera that he can scan into the computer, because we all know he has a working scanner. :smallamused:

I think that Q is 80 because his actions are funnier that way. Its more funny to think that a senile old man is behind everything Q posts rather than some kid.

The fear of the number 13 is called triskaidekaphobia, and its not exclusive to Christianity. It also has roots in Norse mythology, and is observed by many people who are neither Christian nor Norse.

The wiki has a page for gods that are specifically mentioned at points, but I tend to consider all of the D&D 3.5 gods as present in one form or another. The very nature of ABR means that there'll be someone somewhere in the Avbaroy multiverse that worships something. There's probably a sect of the Cheddar Lord fighting a losing war against the Brie King cult somewhere.

Whoa! You've got many characters Fayt. Maybe I could make more (don't worry no gods)

[Mad Mask]

The wiki has a page for gods that are specifically mentioned at points, but I tend to consider all of the D&D 3.5 gods as present in one form or another. The very nature of ABR means that there'll be someone somewhere in the Avbaroy multiverse that worships something.

In Avbaroy, most humans worship either the Supreme Being, God the Father Dragon, or are pagans and worship D&D or other gods.


There's probably a sect of the Cheddar Lord fighting a losing war against the Brie King cult somewhere.

Until the Brie have outgrown such silly superstitions and go out in space to fight cheddars with rubber foreheads.

[Keris]

In Avbaroy, most humans worship either the Supreme Being, God the Father Dragon, or are pagans and worship D&D or other gods.

So they either follow one of those two religions, or a polytheistic one? I'm fairly certain there would be a couple of other monotheistic ones.

[Nameless]

Would following the Dragon God involve going to a building every Sunday?

[Fay Graydon]

Whoa! You've got many characters Fayt. Maybe I could make more (don't worry no gods)

Leo's not FFF or FI or SDSB or Plot 3...
the only characters i have now are:
Fayte (duh) and Rel (the Pirate)

Leo is.....
AM NOT REVEALING ANY BACKSTORY STUFF!

[Emperor Ing]

Leo is.....
Rand!

Fix'd for you

[Fay Graydon]

Fix'd for you

... we
are all screwwed...

[Keris]

Leo is.....
the hypothetical offspring of a lion, a wolf, and Fayte

This one seems more likely.

[Fay Graydon]

... *sigh* can't I think of a cool name without u lot (yes especially you Adrien) taking the Michal (yes especially you Michal!) out of it!?
:smallfrown:
Besides... Wulf-Graydon is a double Barreled name :smallamused:

[Mad Mask]

So they either follow one of those two religions, or a polytheistic one? I'm fairly certain there would be a couple of other monotheistic ones.

Actually, several religions are based around the worship of the Supreme Being and God the Father Dragon, about three for each god. For the Supreme Being, there is Toclism, Bluism, Samianism and several less important sects, lumped into a group called the Percillian Religions, for God, there is Traditional Draconism, Orthodox Draconism and Koboldism, lumped into a group called the Hordian Religions.

The Percillian Religions are based on dualism and the Supreme Being, but they have key differences. Bluists believe that two demiurges created the world, one good (the Supreme Being) and one evil. Toclists believe that the two demiurge don't exist, and the Supreme Being exists as two persons (one good, one evil) but one being, symbolising the good/evil struggle in mankind. Samianists believe the above are all wrong and the Supreme Being created the evil aspect, originally good, but it rebelled against him. But these three religions all say that mankind has a good side and a dark side, and to attain the Heavens, you must cast out your dark side, whether it is by a religious ceremony or going on a crusade.

[Keris]

So, if the religions you described are polytheistic, then they are all pagan, which means you contradicted yourself in your last post.

[CrimsonAngel]

Time for Chris's second character! *alarms*

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e381/CrimsonAngelChris/g24.png
Name: Jauce
Class: Bard/paladin
God: Sune
Race: Human
Abilities: He charges in on his holy paladin mount* and the enemy either gets eatin, or chopped in two. His bard music boosts the energy of everyone around him and also makes him stronger.
Backstory: As a paladin of law and order, He decided to join the UNA in hopes of ending the chaos.He came from a castle were there were other Sune worshipers, but sadly, it was taken over by an army of almost every monster ever concieved.

* *Goes of to make holy paladin mount. Any suggestions on what it should be?

May I ask what role the Toves played in this battle?

[Mad Mask]

So, if the religions you described are polytheistic, then they are all pagan, which means you contradicted yourself in your last post.

:smallconfused: The "pagan" religions are called so because they originated before the Percillian Religions spread to the world. And the Percillian Religions are more dualistic than anything, while the Hordian ones are monotheistic.

[Shades of Gray]

Hey Crim, when I said "Paladin of Sune" in SMBG, I was referring to an actual D&D god... Not sure if you know. Linky. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sune)

Paladins and servants of Sune are usually very attractive. Hence why in GB week I said it.

[CrimsonAngel]

May I ask what role the Toves played in this battle?

They threw stuff at the south wall. Eggs, rocks, mud, and what not.

Ah, now we're getting into a semantics discussion! Excellent.

"Pagan" is a term used to describe non (Judeo-)Christian religion, and was derived from the Latin paganus, meaning "peasant".

While it may be plausible that a comparable term arose in Avbaroy, it was not unreasonable for me to assume you meant pagan in the English usage, and so any polytheistic religion is pagan.



They threw stuff at the south wall. Eggs, rocks, mud, and what not.

How? They have no manipulatory appendages, being quadrupedal.

[CrimsonAngel]

They realized this later and ran away, only to be roasted and eaten by a paladin.

Thanks, I didn't know that. Must be the thing with being a non-native English speaker.

Now that this matter is cleared, I'm going to make a Fat Fish Fury comic that will really advance the plot.

[Szilard]

So... when was it decided to have these gods?:smallconfused: What happened to Plotus and that other one?

[Mad Mask]

So... when was it decided to have these gods?:smallconfused: What happened to Plotus and that other one?

All the other gods still exist. It's just that the majority of human worships either one of those gods.

[Szilard]

Okay, but when was this decided upon?

[Shades of Gray]

Well, Lying's character worships Boccob. And Fayte has been deity of fate for a while... Ovu Monobi is a demigod, I think.

Plotus and Plot are still there.

I'm only uncomfortable with people who annonce I'm their boyfriend.

For example, if Lying announced he was homosexual on these forums, I wouldn't be uncomfortable or even surprised. :smalltongue:

If he said I was "interwebz boyfriend" I would seriously random kill him with everything I could.

Sorry, but PoF are kinda...chaotic. It isn't just an excuse to get bard levels, they have to ACT chaotic. I can't see a PoF siding with an organization which intends to 'bind together' all of Avbaroy when some do not wish to be 'bound'. I don't think it'd work.

Even if the others say that you can't according to D&D rules, you absolutely can do it, because Avatar Battle Royale is not a D&D campaign setting. At all. (It just steals stuff from it when it's convenient)

However, if a character concept is presented that is fairly obviously designed with D&D in mind, then we often feel obliged to point out flaws or advise alternate routes to the same concept, as D&D is a system much of ABR understands.
If CrimsonAngel said that his character was a Paladin who channelled his divine powers through Bardic skills, then that would be fine, but he said they were a Paladin/Bard, usually taken to be a Paladin-Bard multiclass.

I mean, none of my characters are in any way D&D based, yet I was the one who brought this up.

Thge folks at UNIA must pay helluvalot of cash to keep us all up to the task with latest intelligence, weapons and such. And here is an important question: do UNIA employees have kind of authority to, say for example, publicly shoot someone, whip out the badge, issue the standard "nothing to see here, citizen, UNIA business", and call for retrieval team, or how far can the limits be streched :smallconfused:?

This is debatable. While it is certainly better for the UNA to be seen as the sole protectors of the people, they can't really justify preventing the public knowing about Private Security Forces. The Security Forces themselves need to decide whether to operate clandestinely or overtly, as the former prevents them from being a target, while the latter may discourage attacks.

Because they have combat knives and bayonets.

...fine.

The -philia suffix is usually used to denote a sexual fetish, an irrational attraction to something.
The Necro- prefix means "death".
Put 2 and 2 together, and get...
Necrophilia, an attraction to dead bodies.

And bestiality can be defined as "sexual interaction between a human and another species".

Nameless'll do just about anything.

Calm down, Gremlin. CrimsonAngel has the right to make any character he wants, as long as it doesn't violate the rules, which clearly do not stipulate "your character must be legal within the D&D rules". So CrimsonAngel can absolutely make a paladin that is also a bard.

[Keris]

by the way, where I am from, Bestiality is more known as "Zoophilia".

Zoophilia: Sexual attraction to animals

Bestiality: Sexual interaction between a human and another species.

They are pretty much the same, but zoophilia can also mean "fondness for animals" in a non-sexual way.

That picture made me laugh out loud. :smallbiggrin:

Calm down, Gremlin. CrimsonAngel has the right to make any character he wants, as long as it doesn't violate the rules, which clearly do not stipulate "your character must be legal within the D&D rules". So CrimsonAngel can absolutely make a paladin that is also a bard.

I was not complaining about CA's character. I was complaining about your insistence that ABR isn't D&D based. This is just plain incorrect.:smallannoyed:

...

I'm actually with MM on this point. While ABR has been D&D based in the past, I feel that we should move beyond that. Don't forget that ABR's random kills originally conformed to no rules of gaming, rather simply what the art depicted.

[T-O-E]

Seriously, Kev. Wikipedia. Use it.

Except for things like this, when it's better to just jam your fingers in your ears and hum loudly.


@Nameless: YES IT IS CREEPY.

Zoophilia: Sexual attraction to animals

Bestiality: Sexual interaction between a human and another species.

They are pretty much the same, but zoophilia can also mean "fondness for animals" in a non-sexual way.

Well...as I know, in my language we have only one term for it. I heard about Bestiality first time in my life.

Sorry to interrupt, but...

Time to Warhammer this up...

He's definitely the god that rules over ABR.

Not helping, I can still read all this text. Nonetheless, can we change the subject? :smalltongue:

I've decided to go back into oots style ever since I learned how to make straight lines with 2 nodes in 5 seconds with the pencil tool in kscape, instead of using the pen tool and taking forever to make one character. Now I'm gunna go and remake all my templates, It's a good thing I love oots, or it would be imposible. :smalleek:

I'm not saying that ABR is EXCLUSIVELY D&D, I'm just saying that almost all of it is d20 based. I don't think we should be above bending/ignoring rules if they mess up a good comic, but ABR will always be, generally, D&D based.
