Well a freakin' Ancient Red Dragon with class levels just showed up on your doorstep pal!

The Spiteful One:

Brings grudges into the game.

Player: My PC hits Bob's PC over the back of the head with a chair!
DM: Why would Laszlo Erudite, professor of Near eastern languages do that?
Player: He stole my Vorpol sword!
DM: Those were your D&D PC's, this is Call of Cthullu!
Player: Don't railroad me!
:wink:

Doesn't see the honor in continuing to fight on against overwhelming odds.

I have one friend who would really enjoy roleplaying, I just have to be careful because he could bring non-gaming grudges to the table.

Hey! I'm playing a dragon girl this time! :smalltongue:

2. I must make hundreds of these

Please, Dragonslayer is far too broad. Try Young Adult Red Dragonslayer.

Thank you, I will use this liberally

[IronLionShark]

Thank you, I will use this liberally

Use the UA for 5e monster hunters to level the template.

The Peanut Butter: Takes things and applies liberally.

[8BitNinja]

The Dog: loves to eat the peanut butter

[Arbane]

The Weakling: Wants to deliberately make a character that's statistically weaker than average, then triumph through sheer ingenuity. (Or by BSing the GM, which is almost as good.)

[8BitNinja]

The Diplomat: plays the game wrong

[Madbox]

The Oddly Specific Game-er: The person who insists that REAL gamers play *insert specific game, insert specific playstyle, insert specific houserules or lack therof*, and anyone else must be ostracized for being a poser. Will still find something to criticize if the above criteria are met.

The Furry: do you always have to play a cat girl?

... no, I'm playing a kitsune.

[IronLionShark]

... no, I'm playing a kitsune.

That has at least two consonants and at least one vowel. It is still a cat.

[Belac93]

That has at least two consonants and at least one vowel. It is still a cat.

Umm, kitsune are fox folk. Not cats.

[IronLionShark]

Fox has at least two consonants and at least one vowel. Fox is cat.

[Lord Raziere]

Fox has at least two consonants and at least one vowel. Fox is cat.

so elf, dog, orc, dad, mom, sis, hat, rat, bat, lad, gal, rad, pig, cow, cad, bag, hag, roc, pan are all equivalent to a cat and therefore are not concepts that are allowed to be played because they are equivalent to catgirls?

well, "pan" is a word that is a synonym for "omni" meaning "everything" so I guess we will just have to not allow all concepts at all, forever.

[Âmesang]

How about using awaken to play as a girl cat? Like Luna from Sailor Moon or a female Thackery Binx from Hocus Pocus.

That might just be the biggest hasty generalization argument I have ever read. Well done.

[Anonymouswizard]

I know, he forgot that people, humans, bananas, bananananananas, cakes, fire, ten year old tins of condensed milk, and clubbing baby seals (as in they're in a club, not that I'm killing them) are all cats by the criteria given.

I'm actually playing a character on these forums who is based off of bag, hag, and cat (undead cat familiar.)

That's why I critic games I'm not playing at all! I just watch from the sidelines, and judge!

Exactly, everything is a cat, the Illuminati is not run by lizard men, it is being run by Kajiit. Notice the rising numbers of Skooma abuse.
