>What if my Tiefling/Half demon/Succubus was good?

lamest shit ever with no verisimilitude, should be banned from the table and games

>"What if I, being a retarded monothiest christian, considered every other pagan god and godess to be a 'demon'?'
>"How would that effect my interpretation of fantasy stories about pagan gods and godesses and their halfbreed children and servants?"

>>97669990
Anon, you literally posted one of the earliest examples of it. Merlin is the most famous and iconic example of not only a half-demon, but a magical advisor and someone of demonic blood being on the side of good.
>>
>>97669990
Merlin is allowed to get away with it because he exists in the role of an NPC which allows for exceptions in regards to verisimilitude within the now mostly locked down common understanding of Fantasy and RPGS related to it.
>>
>>97669990
Nigger the issue isn't verisimilitude, it's players believing to be original and being annoying.

lol, obsessed

Retard.
Kill yourself.

>>97669990
People want to play as typically evil thing because cool
People want to play a good character
So they play good evil thing as the only good one
TTRPGs don't need to be original, just fun

>That's the joke
>>
>>97669990
??? how are things that don't exist in reality supposed to have verisimilitude?
>>
I think a lot of tieflings would be sorcerers/bards and be both ostracized for their looks, but too useful to ignore or to kick out by society. I mean they have devil blood. Magic is in their veins.

bro if an entire species had nothing but adventurer classes they'd be a superpower

People who start freaking out and shitting their pants every time they recognise someone playing a trope they recognise should be beaten with rebar, raped, and set fire to.
I once played a cape game with THREE separate grim reapers, and it was fine.
Just shut your whore mouth and stop breathing, and everything will be fine, you precious little sack of shit.

Did they hell in a cell any time someone died to see who got to turn up and claim their soul? Or was it just rock, paper, scissors?
>>
>>97675609
It was a tournament, and nobody died because it was semi-friendly. I think the biggest reaper related drama was somebody saw somebody's pantsu because somebody insisted on floating everywhere while wearing robes.
>>
>>97669990
Wait... wasn't this thread pruned already?
>>
>>97670616
There is an entire book series where he's the main character.
>>
>>97676199
Why would you expect the jannies here to ever do their jobs?
>>
>>97676199

This thread doesn't look that bad since it is about pointing out how subverting background expectations is older than dirt.
