Does having a PC party member be attractive make them more fun to be in a party with?
>>92618234Does having a PC in your party who is described as "attractive" make the game better?
>>92618216Yes. I would have chosen an image of an attractive person for the thread though.
>>92618261Don't be harsh. I'm sure he'll grow up to be a handsome looking lad one day
>>92618216>More funThat's hard to say definitely having a variety character types gives the party more options when it comes to approaching roleplay scenarios and they flexibility can be more fun
>>92618216god she's so fucking cute holy fucking SHIT
No. I cannot rotate an apple in my mind. I cannot imagine your super-kawaii-desu tiefling girl with heterochromia and D cups.
>>92618413What if they showed you a picture of her?
>>92618416Hand-drawn or Slop?
>>92618421Hand-drawn by a professional artist.
>>92618425Compliment the artist's work at interpreting their design and then go about D&D.
>>92618298So it adds flavor?
>>92618216Attractive people tend to be more confident and better emotionally balanced.There are extreme cases who are absolute nutjobs, but that's how it is with any group.So to answer your question, yes.
>>92618216I'd say that the details of how hot the character is don't come up in a solid 90% of characters I've seen.
>>92618216No, it's literally never relevant.
>>92618216Only if there's a solid mechanical way to convey that gamewise otherwise it's just flavour you're going to forget the majority of times.
>>92619016I find it depends on the DM for that. Some DM's like to take into account the physical appearance of their PCs quite a lot in my experience.
>>92618778>>92619003>Characters don't interact with people
>>92619040>Some DM's like to take into account the physical appearance of their PCs quite a lot in my experience.Yes i also do that, for example i always regulate the initial npcs disposition based on a appearance (how handsome or not the character is, how presents himself, the clothes, etc...), but what i mean with mechanical way is having game effects tied to appearance, like for example a situational feat/trait that mesmerizes (stun) the npc for a moment after a successful persuade or something similar.
>>92619117Comeliness existed as a stat in AD&D 1st and 2nd edition.
>>92619117I remember 3.PF having third party feats for that.First a Dragon Magazine introduced cat feats, that were things like "flopping on your belly but being so adorable it stuns onlookers" then third parties took it from there.
>>92619068Of course they do, but you don't roll for reaction with a modifier based on your beauty stat every time you ask for pointers to the local bandit camp.
>>92618413>he can't rotate an apple in his mindskill issue
>>92618216No, but the player being attractive does
>>92619142You kind of do though.People aren't going to trust (or want to be approached by) the ugly monster with loads of weapons.When going into town to spend money traders/barterers/merchants are going to react differently based on looks and appearance.
>>92618678he asked about PC, not actual playersin practice it would be probably an ugly nerd imagining how it is to be attractive, which is often less realistic then imagining he's a wizard
>>92619241Honestly anon. I doubt it's very hard to imagine what it's like being attractive.
>>92619216>People aren't going to trust (or want to be approached by) the ugly monster with loads of weapons.And so your PCs are also not described as being ugly.
>>92619160Probably just a girl.
>>92619262So you prefer playing like a very average-looking dude?
>>92619183I wouldn't fuck with D&D girls man.
>>92618399isn't that the girl that was in her underwear underaged in IT
>>92619540I would but with the expectation I'm not the only one
>>92618413Have you tried different type of apples? Like sour greens? What about oranges?
>>92623143She was in IT yeah
>>92618261>>92618267Literally, unironically, both of you are either gay or your brain has been destroyed by porn
>>92618216I assume everyone is conventionally attractive unless otherwise specified.
>>92625294>Describes my character as so hideously ugly everyone who sees him gouges out their own yes
My character RN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQNDXjdsQHo
>>92624784Ik she cute af
>>92625294I guess that tracks
>>92618678I would honestly assume attractive people to be more vain and shallow than normal people.
Just play the character you want to play within the limits set by the DM.
>>92618216I don't remember the movie much but I do remember sitting in the cinema and just thinking how much I'd fuck that tiefling.
My PCs are always ugly.
>>92630509based
>>92625992>glimpse into a mirror>gouge out your own eyes>have to play as blind the rest of the campaign
>>92630509Based
>>92630568Him missing his eyes would make him even more hideous lol
>>92618216I make my players roll a d10 to figure out how hot they are. It really adds to the roleplaying when someone is a 1/10.>verification not required.
>>92630568Yes.
Rolled 1 (1d10)>>92632470Hmmm
>>92632613>As you walk into the market, children point and scream. The parents join in. Shopkeepers close their doors and stall attendants pack up their carts, fleeing into the alleys.
>>92632712lmao
>>92630327Based
>>92618216So like… the fat ham beast clinger chic role plays as someone who isn’t gross?Yeah dude super fun. Take a shower.
>>92640178Sounds like you have a specific person you play with in mind.
>>92624784not everyone is a rabbit-brained simp that wants to hump everything on two legs
>>92618216Ugly people don't exist in most games I run except as antagonists. There was one player who always wanted to play hideous freaks but I stopped inviting him to play after a while. That said I also rarely involve attractiveness as a mechanic unless the system itself supports it. The world is just full of beautiful anime white people.
>>92625294Why “unless”? You are the master of your own imagination. Every female character is white, fit and all the other requirements for attractiveness for me no matter how the character’s player describes them.
>>92640358I can tell you're very shallow and mentally ill just from this post alone
>>92618399wow, you'd have sex with an attractive actress? someone stop this mad lad
>>92627979She's Derry cute, she's a 7at best anywhere else, assuming she grows her hair out.
>>92632470Maybe
We had fun, in fact, thanks to a rule related to character point distribution (Conan 2d20, Ancient Lineage perk) our bard player had to get pissed if his beauty, talent or the greatness of Brythunia were put into question (the perk only talks about the last part but he added the vain part)Also he once got elected as "The King of Fools" in a Aquilonian town since he was considered the ugliest person in town by the villagers which broke him emotionallyHe didnt even got angry he just stood and sit there, thousand yard stare while the celebrations continued.And it's funny cuz he's the only attractive guy in our irl friend group
>>92647892lol
>>92624784They could also just be Eastern/Northern European, where the standards of attractiveness are just a lot higher.
>>92618216Would fuck her non stop until my pp falls down dry.
>>92640318Not thinking everyone with a jaw is a man isn't simping, retard. You jawlets should be put into camps so that you cease to be a menace to the society.
>>92630255nah that's typical theater kid bullshit.
>>92618216no, not intrinsically.if it comes into play during interaction, maybe.or maybe that makes them all the more obnoxious
>>92618678>There are extreme cases who are absolute nutjobs, but that's how it is with any group.I dunno man, the two most attractive people I know of are an insane ketamine-addicted alcoholic fisherman, and a terminally narcisstic, incredibly petty, no-impulse-control BPD demon coke fiend woman.They even used to date, actually
>>92640374>Every character is whiteFTFY
>>92644766>You failed rolling, so your character is an ethereal ghost that can't be seen. Make a new PC.
>>92649759Who gives a shit about her jaw? She has no tits, too many freckles, and she likes really short haircuts that always look retarded on women.
>>92658322you mean not enough freckles, you can barely even see them
>>92658345Look you can pick any reason you want to want to fuck her, but of all the things to assume other people don't like, her JAW? That's ridiculous.
>>92618216The minis are so small, how would anyone even notice?
>>92658677it's about bodily proportins, fat ass and big knockers are gonna be recognizable even on miniature scale
