Is there actually any reason female wizards wouldn’t be as powerful as male wizards? Magic is usually about study, talent, or raw arcane affinity right? Not like you bench press a fireball into existence. But then you look at some settings and it’s “ancient archmages, all dudes” and you gotta wonder if that’s lore or just bias baked into the world.

Are there systems where gender actually affects spellcasting power? Like if two casters had identical training, intelligence, and casting ability, is there any reason one would be weaker? Curious how you guys handle it in your worlds.

>Non-question about non-issue about Platonic idea of games of pretend and their magic system
I expect this thread to survive for 3 weeks, getting about 180 posts until then.
To be instantly replaced by near identical.
And then mods wonder why they are leaking users, click and traffic, when this is their way to combat it.
>>
>>97870186
Why would they need real users, when they can just get posting bots and commission-spamming autists to create the illusion of activity?
>>
>>97870151
You paid actual money for AI-slop. Retard.
>>
Fuck off.
>>
>>97870205
Because they are able to generate maybe 1/12th of the traffic they had before they decided to "improve" their numbers with bot-posting. And /tg/ was already slow by covid.
>>
>>97870151
There are games where women are explicitly BETTER at magic, Hârnmaster as an example. I can't actually think of a game where women are worse at it.
>>
>>97870151
Depends on the game.

Only if you're playing in a setting made for sissies. In my world the only people who can summon angels, conjure lightning strikes, and move the very earth can squat AT MINIMUM 250 lbs. below parallel

>Is there actually any reason female chess players wouldn’t be as good as male chess players? Chess is usually about study, memorization, or raw pattern recognition right? Not like you bench press a checkmate into existence. But then you look at the top players and it’s “grandmasters, all dudes” and you gotta wonder if that’s lore or just bias baked into the world.

Altho, there is Scarlett somewhere near the top.

>>97871046
How does Harnmaster handle it? And I seem to remember seing a game years on /tg/ years ago where women were worse at basically everything, but I can't remember its name and wonder how serious it actually was.

I think you are the problem and that you should go somewhere else and complain about /tg/ there.
>>
>>97870151

They're worse at everything else?
>>
>>97871640
Yeah. There is 0% chances they would be as good at being wizards as men.
>>
I don't see how OP even came to that conclusion, given that his momma is so fat that gravity bends around her.
Not many mages master Gravity manipulation like that.

Mana is stored in the body, not just the tits or balls, and since women are so much smaller and lighter than men they have less mana. Yes, that means the Grand Wizard of the Arcadian High Tower is in fact a 420 pound lardass, and yes, overuse of mana while pregnant can fuck up the child since the body will try and steal their mana. Next question, please.

A third puckee thread in a row...
>>
in real world western esotericism, virgin boys are typically considered to have the highest potential for magic

my presumption is that males expend their biologically expensive reproductive material at will, while women's bodies expend theirs (as well as significant amounts of blood and flesh) as part of the natural cycle
thus, males have more chance of retaining the energy that would otherwise be spent recovering (for males, the lost seminal fluids; for women, lost blood)

but magical systems in games don't have to work on those same considerations or principles and this is just a shitty engagement bait garbage thread anyway
>>
>>97872460
Well I pegged you as a groomer with TDS accurately

They have been banned by the patriarcy in the past so their culture lags behind some. They could be just as good if not for these social factors.

>pukee spam thread

>>97870186
It's one demented poster that the system will apparently no longer let me name, who spams ai slop commission's - yes, he actually pays for them - both there and here. He's been a major contributor to the decline of the board for years, yet the mods protect him for some reason.
>>
>>97874478
If we're gonna shitpost can't it at least be funny? I'd take zoomer 6-7 shit over spamming the ragebait commissions
>>
>>97874531
I don't know what you're talking about. Wrong person?

That's the joke.
>>
>>97870151
Should I tell him the Goddess of Magic turned Elminister into a woman once so he could understand magic better?
>>
>>97870151
Is there any reason why you are endlessly spamming your garbage commissions all over the site for literally years?
>>
>>97871571
You're the one who paid for it, puckee
>>
>>97871714
No sperm, so no natural magic
>>
>>97870151
Magic needs math and women suck at it.

>>97878135
Or maybe you just suck at it.

>>97870151
If you're running a big standard DND
>Wizards are nerds
It probably breaks down similarly to STEM demographics. There will be outliers and there's no reason player characters have to be representative of averages, but i tend to skew my fantasy gameworld along familiar enough distributions interspaced with the occasional hot competent women because it's a fantasy after all.
>>
>>97870151
>Is there actually any reason
Yes, there is a reason. However this is a fantasy game so who gives a shit?
