Would people be able to tell your character is a "tough guy" just from first glance?
Obviously.
I usually DM, but sometimes I play 5e, sadly. The character is a rather stereotypical half-orc barbarian, so I'd say yes.
Yes.
>>97389925Depends on the DM. Some DMs have NPCs act appropiately to your characters appearance, (fear, negotiation, falling back and getting re-inforcements, surrender, hiding and avoidance, etc) while some DMs take the Fallout route, having two unarmoured 1st level mooks armed with sticks trying to take on your huge heavily armed and armoured character and escorting retinue, because the stupid module they are running says so.
>>97389925if your characters looks aren't inherently deceiving that's a NGMI
>>97389925Haha, no. He looks like some Shoujo femboy. About the only threatening thing about him is his height- he's over six feet tall. And considering he talks like a bored nerd that doesn't really connect with normal people, it's not like talking to him feels all that threatening either.
