Which OotS character type would you like to Be?

[Hardcore]

(Note that it says 'type'. Who you are is less interesting than who you want to become )
Also you don't have to pick a playable creature type:)


Me? I would like to be a succubus like Sabine I think (despite the test in another thread suggested I really am Durkon LOL)
Can fly, have damage reduction, energy drain etc, also is having lots of sex and is looking good in leather (RED leather :smallbiggrin:)*
Yeah, I am a guy, but so what? Sabine is way cool :smallsmile:

*But I would wear black I think. SHINY black leather like cat woman perhaps. :smallbiggrin:
And I would have a serrated Dagger and a whip.

[Ancalagon]

Evil is cool. Evil is badass. I want to be like <evil character X>, just without the evil.

You do realise that Sabine is a devourer, a perverse abomination that lives from other people's hopes and love? She cuts out the heart of people to sacrifice it together with their also evil mate?

A succubus might be cool and stylish and powerful, but ponder why she is all that: She's an evil incarnation of desire and temptation: And then sucks the life and hope (or soul) out of people.

Sorry, but if you do not want to be evil, murdering monster you cannot be a succubus.

[Athaniar]

Some dragon, probably gold, but obviously not black. Either that or a celestial. Good and powerful, that's what I want to be (despite my username).

[Hardcore]

Yes, I said "good looking", not "being good":smallsmile:
Sure, evil is ok. I find it hard enough to be good in rl, so a change to evil could be a step in the right direction for me.

[ADZAELL]

I'd be a bard, but not like Elan.

I'd be smart and charismatic, and good aligned.

I'd travel around, helping people who needed things, rather than just wanted them. I'd probably be neutral good, as i don't see the point in law or chaos too much really.

[Gandariel]

mmmh, let's think
Paladin? NOO!
oots gives a veeery bad idea of paladins http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0372.html
Cleric? noo... too anonymous
mmmh... maybe i'd like being a Elder Mentor like Julio Scoudrel:
Short, cool apparition. Solves a problem. Makes the plot go ahead. Vanishes in the darkness yelling a last kernel of wisdom.
Perfect xD

[mjo625]

Lich, and I'd devote all my time to creating soul gems to become a demilich.

Souls are part of my balanced breakfast.

[Woodsman]

I'd probably end up being someone like Durkon, only not a dwarf.

[SaintRidley]

Lich, and I'd devote all my time to creating soul gems to become a demilich.

Souls are part of my balanced breakfast.

High five with a side of paralysing touch to that!

[Vemynal]

well if I was to just show up in oots...I'd probably be a chaotic neutral bard with a personality cross between thog and elan

if i was to write my own character into the story I'd be a chaotic evil Cleric/Blackguard

[J.J.J-H-Schmidt]

if i were in the comic my type would be and unnamed npc and probly highly expendable.....

what type i would like to be.... the type that is ultra cool that everyone would vote for on who is your favorite oots character polls.

yeah thats the type of character i would want to be... and seeing as how some of the less prominant characters end up on those polls, i think i might just be able to have it both ways.:smallsmile:

[Zanaril]

Cross-dressing elf mage. :smallwink:

[Kastanok]

Some manner of Devil-blooded Beguiler/Rogue minor-noble merchant and con-artist :smallamused: A little persuasion can get you a long, long way and those sneak-attack and skills can come in very handy at times.

EDIT: I don't DO optimising. Ever. Okay, maybe once but that entirely by accident I assure you.

[Asta Kask]

Mage all the way. I'm so my a theoretician (theoreticist?) that it's almost not funny.

[Needle]

Random guy who does everything he wants unless he considers is not fun :P

As class? Maybe Wizard, specialized on Enchantments or Transmutation, whatever I feel is funnier at the time of character creation, banning Evokation and Necromancy, probably.

Something like that, yeah.

[Autochthon]

Well, Wizard would be the clear choice for me to start with. I wouldn't choose a specialist school in the specific sense (I like having a broad array of options and can't stand loosing an entire two schools), but I'd probably have a fair focus on Transmutation, with some Conjuration and Evocation. That'd continue (with or without Prestige classes, not sure on that) until I just hit Epic. At that point, I'd probably branch off into cleric.

[Moff Chumley]

I'd be the official lawyer/accountent/Jew-Jitsu expert for Team Evil. :smallbiggrin:

[Hardcore]

JEW-jitsu? And evil? Then I know your appearances too: krooked nose, beard, walking with back slightly bent and muttering unpleasantly in jiddich:smallwink:

[Moff Chumley]

Oh hellz yes. :smallcool:

[ScottishDragon]

I like halflings and i like rogues,so either belkar or haley,if only there was a combination of both..

[KillerQueen]

Half-orc barbarian. :thog: plus a level in badass, essentially.

[DarkElfGangsta]

Dark Elf Rogue, with some levels in wizard.
probably chaotic good or chaotic neutral.

[John Cribati]

Elf Wizard or Druid, with a few levels of Monk so I can hit people with my staff if they get too close.

[DarkElfGangsta]

JEW-jitsu? And evil? Then I know your appearances too: krooked nose, beard, walking with back slightly bent and muttering unpleasantly in jiddich:smallwink:

Racism? really?

[Gamerlord]

I would be.....none, cause to be honest, I pretty much can't think of a single character I actually don't dislike.

[Doomboy911]

I'd be elan (kind of) I have his artistic take on things but I plan like roy.

[ScottishDragon]

Wait does it have to be an oots charachter or just what you would like to be in the oots world?

[Carzal]

a naive character in a broken class, like Warblade (which is just better than fighter in almost every way).

ya gotta have a naive character

[Crilly]

I'd like to be Bard/Sorcerer Assimar/Deva (Whatever there calling it now) Lawful good.

Maybe a Wizard Spec: Enchantments, Banned: Conj and Necro. True Neutral Wild Elf.

[Maximum Zersk]

Guy with a Halberd's crazy and unstable friend. :smalltongue:

[Hardcore]

Scottish, what you like I guess. If you stick to playable races only then that is your choise.

[Acero]

a druid/illusionist with a tad of ranger
and good aligned

[Surfing HalfOrc]

I'd be my avatar, out having a great time out on the waves!

[mizzim]

some sort of half-drow, half-dragon, ranger/wizard/Bard.

[Demonia]

:tongue:Undead lich like Xykon :xykon:
ooooorrrrrrr...DEMON ROACHES!!!!!!! :roach:

[Moff Chumley]

Racism? really?

:smallsigh:

Goddam PC PCs...
Keep your shirt on.
:smallwink:

[Spiky]

Roy's little bro.

Looks like a damn fine life. Er...afterlife.

[tribble]

Mr Rodriguez (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0032.html). definitely.

[ScottishDragon]

I would be...
Race:Halfling
Alignment:Chaotic Good
Class:Rogue+Wizard=Arcane Trickster
Deity:BANJO!!!
If i can't pick some pockets or cast spells i feel empty..

[Hardcore]

Moff, take solace in that he didn't get the joke. (there is a terrible cost of being PC; lack of humour!)

[Assassin89]

Half elf bard who beats Pompey senseless for complaining about his race.

[DarkElfGangsta]

do half elves actually have only one elven ear?

[derfenrirwolv]

Good aligned dragon.

Long life, plenty of gold, and since i'm color coded for their convenience any adventurers coming after me are evil aligned for my snacking convenience.

[Brendan]

a naive character in a broken class, like Warblade (which is just better than fighter in almost every way).

I'm sorry, but I disagree with that statement. The use of "almost"is unnecessary and insulting to the warblade class.
Anyways, I would likely be a royish type character. I like the way he actually thinks before doing.

[Sewblon]

Neutral Evil Gnome/Bard, I would crush the insolent tall folk with the power of Rock and Roll.

[ZakRenning]

I would be a Human, spear wielder. I'd call myself a Dragoon, and ride off with the other FF characters on the airship, talking about fenix downs. :smallwink:

[Assassin89]

I would be a Human, spear wielder. I'd call myself a Dragoon, and ride off with the other FF characters on the airship, talking about fenix downs. :smallwink:

They still would kick you off for being from the wrong game. There are no Dragoons in Final Fantasy VI, where that particular airship comes from. You might not be kicked off the Enterprise though.

[Herald Alberich]

do half elves actually have only one elven ear?

No, their ears are just shorter than elf ears, but still pointy. D&D elf ears are huge, while half-elf ears look like the ears on the LotR movies' elves.

[DarkElfGangsta]

No, their ears are just shorter than elf ears, but still pointy. D&D elf ears are huge, while half-elf ears look like the ears on the LotR movies' elves.

so whats the deal with pompey? he has only one ear

[Zevox]

so whats the deal with pompey? he has only one ear
It's the style Rich decided to go with for the comic. And a joke.

Zevox

[Xefas]

I'd be a bard, but not like Elan.

I'd be a bard, but like Elan.

In that, he, out of the entire cast of OotS, has touched the most boobies. And, at the end of the adventuring day, that is all that really matters.

[triple zero]

I would have to go with bard. I'm not sure if this would be my first choice in any D&D campaign (and I'm not exactly musically inclined, either), but bards are well-suited to the OotS-verse because they know genre conventions (it's part of their bardic training, or something). Being genre-savvy goes a long way, and with enough intelligence and planning, one could be a step ahead of their foes or get out of danger quickly when they need to do so. In an actual D&D campaign, I suppose this would be metagaming and would be discouraged. However, in the OotS world, pointing out genre conventions is legitimate (and important to one's survival).

Besides, Elan seems to have the most fun out of anyone in the comic. OK, maybe Belkar too, but psychopaths don't count. If Elan is any indicator, bards have more fun, get the girl, and have a happy ending. What more could you want?

[J.J.J-H-Schmidt]

i would want to be roy's grandpa!

[Sewblon]

I'd be a bard, but like Elan.

In that, he, out of the entire cast of OotS, has touched the most boobies. And, at the end of the adventuring day, that is all that really matters. The only boobs we know that he has touched are Samantha's and Haley's, Origins of PCs implied that Belkar slept with two prostitutes Belkar slept with Jenny, and he made out with Vaarsuvius, if Vaarsuvius has boobs shall remain forever a mystery but that still leaves Belkar with six confirmed boobs touched to Elan's four.

[Xefas]

Well, sure, if you count 'unique boobies touched', but Elan touches Haley's boobies probably daily, and will, barring incredible social drama, continue to do so for the rest of their natural lives/afterlives, making his number of boobies touched nigh-infinite.

Belkar. Belkar will never hold onto a woman for that long.

[Sewblon]

Belkar. Belkar will never hold onto a woman for that long. Sorry, I thought you were talking about unique boobs touched.

[Southern Cross]

Actually,I'd rather play a human magister newly planeshifted from the world of Serran,just to show Varsuuvius what a true spell-caster is really like.
Failing that,I'd probably play either an eldritch theurge or a diviner with at least two prestige classes,one of them being archmage.

[megabyter5]

I lament the fact that the bard class is forbidden to me by my lawful good alignment, considering the ways it fits me as a person. However, I never was the type to dabble, so if I were to choose a class I would most want to be, I guess it would have to be Wizard. Probably specialist, but I'm not sure which. Conjurer maybe, but Transmuter is a nice one, too. You know what? Diviner. Nobody ever tells me anything, and damnit, I want to know every mundane detail of the conversations I only half-overhear. I'll ban necromancy.

I can already see myself being able to see and hear things I can't already now...

[hamishspence]

There is a feat that allows Bards to be Lawful Good, in Complete Adventurer. It's designed for multiclassing bard/paladin, but in theory you could just stick with bard.

[Kobold-Bard]

I'd copy Tsukiko. Mystic Theurge is the best class ever, and anyone who says otherwise is a dirty, rotten liar :smallwink:

Also Necromancy is awesome; because who doesn't love the idea o having a horde of undead following you around all the time (ass long as you shell out the ~1000gp for the At-Will Prestidigitation item to keep them smelling good.

[Spamnation!]

probably Yikyik,
yeah he died...
but he did it in style....
:belkar:"kick...Goal!"

[veti]

I'd like to be the Oracle of Sunken Valley. Easy work, secluded location, limitless money, freedom to insult my customers pretty much at will, and a hot bath to relax in. What's not to love?

[Captainocaptain]

I'd probably end up being some kind of bookish generalist wizard, dragon. Probably never show up in the story because I locked myself in a library when i became a dracolich (did i mention I would be a chromatic dragon) and the library would get lost to time. I may teleport to different places to collect (steal) more books. I would hoard knowledge, not treasure!
V would be so jealous. :smallcool:

[Nimrod's Son]

I'd like to be the Oracle of Sunken Valley. Easy work, secluded location, limitless money, freedom to insult my customers pretty much at will, and a hot bath to relax in. What's not to love?
The stabbings?

[VampireRot]

Mr. Scruffy.

Yes, that's it. What? Housecats are awesome. :smallcool:

[Raging Gene Ray]

I'd be Nachos from the Intermission comic. So if I got hungry, I could eat myself.

[VampireRot]

I'd be Nachos from the Intermission comic. So if I got hungry, I could eat myself.

:smalleek: But wouldn't that count as attempted suicide by... self-consumption?

But the real question would be, after eating part of your own body, would you still weigh the same as you did before? :smallconfused: Experimentation is necessary! But the sacrifice of a limp is also necessary... FOR SCIENCE!

[Xzeno]

I'd be a paladin. Sure, it's easy to say sorcerer would be the best (like wizard, but without the work or studying), but if I'm gonna live in a fantasy world, might as well live the dream, right?

[Mystic Muse]

Goblin Paladin/Ur priest. I'd be targeting all but one god. Maybe even that one.

If you've read SOD you probably know why.

[Payne]

Either a drow, a Gnoll (female, go figure) or a shadow plane creature.

[grautry]

Well, obviously I'd like to be a god.

Preferably some sort of an arcane deity of magic ala Boccob.

[BarbarianNina]

I'd like to have Lirian's epic druid powers. Or powerful wizardry. Or, ideally, both.

[TheBlackShadow]

Some kind of powerful PC or adventurer (possibly a high-level Monk or something) who leads his own adventuring party. While his party seem very morally dubious, resembling the Light Warriors from 8BT more than anything else, he himself is relatively reasonable and they consistently aid the OotS throughout, to the extent that the two parties consider each other friends... Until he sacrifices his team-mates in some kind of evil ritual, giving him massive power, with the intent of destroying the Gods themselves, believing them to be at fault for everything that has happened.

I could go on, but I fear looking like a fanboy and two-bit fanfic writer, and cluttering up the forum with a wall of text.

[Dr.Epic]

Belkar: I'm not the physically strongest but I'm dastardly enough to make up for that in combat and would always choose the stabby path.

[bsparrow]

The safest bet is definitely to be a PC, but I don't think I could handle that sort of responisibility.

I've kinda always considered myself evil elite-mook/advisor type material (think Redcloak and Tsukiko). You know, a named NPC attached to the main villian, with my own backstory and plots, and who you have to go through to reach the true villian.

Yeah, I'd be doomed to die, but they generally live the high life up until that point. And if I was lucky, I might be able to get a heroic sacrifice out of one of the PCs before they bring me down. :smallbiggrin:

[Optimystik]

I'd be a psion, probably because they're so rare.

I wouldn't be an Elan though, the Int penalties are really stiff.

[icastflare!]

I would like to be like thog. He made me use half orc barbarians. Besides his childish antics always ensure a good time ( as long as your not nale,haley, sabine, or any other member of team evil)

[Incompleat]

Half-camel wizard. :smallbiggrin:

Generalist, and eventually getting a level of Sorcerer in order to qualify for Ultimate Magus - not optimal powerwise, perhaps, but I have always been a big fan of flexibility.

Now, what is the LA for half-camel?

[licoot]

Id be one of the demon roaches that follows the MitD around.
