If you were transplanted into an age of high adventure, based on your skills, talents and experience what would you do?
4chan neckbeard
every single person on /tg/ would be a wizard. you'd have to go to the weird boards to find someone who wouldn't get slotted into wizard
>>96498237Fit would be homosexual fighters/barbarians
>>96498237I disagree. I'd be some mentor and teacher of persuasion and wilderness skills. Not a hero, but a character.
>>96498259
>>96498243/pol/ would be mostly evil paladins (perfectly acceptable combination since 2e) with a smattering of fighter/theives (non-white posters).
>>96498262Thank you. the art is flattering.
>>96498216everyone on this board would be a random commoner with no plot relevance and they would be lying to think otherwise
>>96498310I'll have you know I know about agricultural techniques only invented in the 1800s that could theoretically have worked and been economical as far back as egypt.
>>96498216Die.
>>96498310Really? In this world where everyone has the calories to gain their peak size? Where labor is so niched that you have skills not 1:40 people have? That you have the damn near combined knowledge of humanity at your fingertips and can learn any minutia of knowledge within minutes, you don't think you'd be something in another world? Live a little, at least your fantasies.
>>96498216Gongfarmer or librarian.
>>96498216Baker in a village somewhere. Baking is essentially the only natural talent I have.
>>96498216Die, probably.
>>96498237This is a common misconception. There are a disproportionately large number of wizards on 4chan, but they still represent a small minority.
>>96498216Three ranks in Engineering proficiency
>>96498237Wrong>>96498243This
>>96498216>not strong fast or tough, but still above baseline>no outstanding skills or item crafting>no cure or heal, but i give buffs, temphp and have some specialist castingI guess that makes me a... bard? Shit
>>96498216The only thing I'd be suited for is being an aristocrat or a merchant. If I'm expected to adventure, I die.
>>96498216I'm a drawfag so I would probably just do portraits of elven nobles (preferably women(alone(one-on-one long painting sessions)))I can also scupt so sculptures and gravestones/headstones would be my thing...Maybe even one day become a proper mason and make temples>>96498287evil?
>>96498216>what would you do?
>>96498216No one knows who I am, I have no one to vouch for me that I know or can do much of anything. Not plugged into any of the institutions of the world. Probably farmhand or migrant labor?
>>96498310>BurpOooh... I better stop dippin' into me own ale...
>>96498216I would be a wizardalso charcoal, saltpeter, sulfur, mercury fulminate, etc.
>>96499196So you'd be an alchemist?
>>96498216I'd be some sort of bard/town drunk hybrid with some wilderness skills
>>96498216If you were transplanted into an age of high adventure, based on your skills, talents and experience what would you do?not start a thinly veiled quest thread outside >>>/qst/
>>96498216>6'1, physically fit 25 year old.>Fairly good theological and scientific education.>Briefly dabbled in LandSAR and SLS work.>Used to being outdoors and surviving land and sea conditions because parents believed it was important to do a week-long hike every year.>Done a range of fun martial arts, including karate, judo, taekwondo, HEMA, Fencing, and some others. Also dabbled in archery and rifle shooting.>Currently practicing MMA (so BJJ and adapted kickboxing), Kali, and just got myself into Buhurt.>Actually pretty good at Martial arts. MMA coach calls me 'strongman', friends at club call me 'slenderman', and guys at Buhurt were eager to get me to sign on with them.>Passing idea of how to work a forge, and do emergency medicine.Every day, anons. Every fucking day I go into my shitty job in a small room with no aircon I think, at least once to myself, how much better things would be if I found myself isekai'd to somewhere like Middle Earth.I'd do fucking fantastically.I wasn't built for this computers, guns and economic proxy war bullshit.
>>96498216Wizard>but anon, you would be a random commoner and....Shut the fuck up, Timmy. Im not going to cuck myself by imagining me as some random looser tilling fields. I´ll be a wizard. Suck it.
>>96500375literally the first things I would do in isekai are invent guns, invent (((finance))), and invent computers
>>96498216Spontaneous Divine Spellcaster of some sort.
Town Rapist
>>96499651Your first concern should be learning how to correctly quote and greentext.
>>96503679take your meds
>>96498216Hopefully an apothecary's assistant or maybe a monk of some kind rather than a peasant working the field like 90% of the population.
>>96498216well I am decent at Archery and I make maps for a living so some sort of scout or ranger?
>>96498216idk I study law so I guess me on the right
Does your real life illnesses cross over to the isekai world along with your skills? Cause if so I might be fucked
>>96498216Become a doctor and proceed to enjoy the highest survival rate of patients, simply because I understand the concept of washing hands, quarantining the sick and sterilizing instruments.
>>96505496and then be suspected by the common people because you do strange, abnormal things, be held to a higher standard than others, and when one of your patients dies (because they were terminal, because of random chance, or for any other reason) be drawn and quartered as an evil witch who came to corrupt and murder. good luck with that.
>>96498216potatos man
>>96498216>>96498237In middle school I decided I wanted to live with a african bushmen, so I spent my teenage years learning the skills that I thought would better integrate me into that society, so probably a ranger or something.
>>96505570None of those things would happen. All the changes I mentioned can easily be explained using medieval/fantasy excuses (water is "purifying", sick people give off miasma and need to be kept secluded), nobody in this society is going to expect a doctor to save ALL his patients, and there is zero reason to accuse some doctors of witchcraft unless he's using charms or astrology or dumb shit like that.
>>96505678Sure, like how vaccines and germ theory and all the other objective medical advances were easily accepted because of the clear logic and results.Once again, good luck!
>>96498216Itinerant farm worker, maybe I could be a shitty minstrel if I could find some bright clothes.
>>96498216Almost certainly a (shitty) monk working in a copy-house. I'm a reasonably skilled illuminator and calligrapher, who can read and write Mercian and Latin while making my own inks and paints. I'm also crippled and nearly blind without glasses. I'd probably run into issues remembering which theologians have or haven't passed into common knowledge though. Might get spicy because I lean quite a bit more counter-Reformation than pre-Reformation..
>>96505678Astrology was actually one of the main tools in historical medicine.
>>96498216>horticultural pathologist Basically meaningless>HEMA instructor High fantasy implies silly things during combat and Im not trained for that. I guess I listen to a lot of music. I could become a bard and introduce commoners to King Crimson and Moody Blues.
>>96505672Excuse me anon, you're gonna have to elaborate a little more. How did you decide this and how close to feasible did it get?
>>96498216Just Earth?Physician. Part of my innawoods bullshit also included growing penicillin and herbalism (the non-bullshit side of it).Fantasy setting?Monster rapists. Professional monster raping. The kind of rape that just outright damages the soul as well as the mind and body of the recipient. Just a harem of buck broken beasts with whacky cooters that obey simple commands for seed dumped in weird, winding sludge pots ripped to ribbons by too large human cream canons and freak offspring getting shunted out of disgusted wombs cursed by the entire pantheon for even being conceived in the first place.Or maybe running an inn.
>>96498216I'm semi-autistic and have a PhD in math (redundant, I know). I think the answer is clear.
>>96505672What stopped you? I bet Botswana and Namibia have lax immigration policies.
