What is the most toxic character archetype in D&D, and why is it the "Horny Bard"?
>>
>>98637640
We had this thread already. More toxic is the edgelord horny bard who enchants everybody to fuck against their will while they're charmed.
>>
>>98637640
Because you're forgetting about the dickass rogue.

>>98637659

this.
tiefling players are always troon degenerates and/or turbowoke retards.
I befriended his goth chick at work and found out she liked d&d and when we discussed further she houseshared with a bunch of fucking insane trannies and even though she herself was straight she played a lesbian tiefling whose backstory was "I was in a lesbian relationship but the bigoted chud villagers found out about us and murdered her so I murdered the whole village and went on the run as an adventurer."

What gets me is he always commissions very corporate-coded, "safe", incredibly generic, "as seen in D&D 5th edition" art. The kind that was aggressively fed into AI and we're all understandably unimpressed with.
It's actually kind of ironic because if Puckee was some bored, rich, autist who actually had ANY taste and was constantly getting works from Tumblr & Twitter artists with a little flair, style, or personality, or even Mossa for that matter, I wouldn't mind Puckee threads. Shit, I'd be delighted by Puckee threads if all he did was spam Mossa art. I fucking LOVE Mossa's work.

kek I work in the design studio, she worked in the onsite restaurant.
I considered fucking her but she wasn't hot enough to leverage her insanity.
she was always telling me how many times she'd been raped which was always "all my friends are all sex pests or junkies and I got blackout drunk with them and I woke up when one of them was raping me" and she'd tell me the story like she was fully expecting me to react like it was the most horrific thing I'd ever heard, then she'd just start ranting about JK rowling wanting her troon housemate dead.
she was fucking insane, and I'm not risking her deciding she was too drunk/stoned/pilled to consent

Years ago, around the same time youtube videos started offering auto-generated subtitles. Basically when audio processing became advanced enough to recognize individual words, various platform started blocking/filtering content that included bad words and this happens to be one of them, so is suicide.

>OMG I got raped at the weekend anon! what happened was I was out with my friends who are all junkies, degenerates and sex/fetish addicts and I got SUPER drunk and took some random pills one of them gave me and..."
etc etc.
whenever she talked about sex (most of the time) she was into dubcon and dd/lg shit, and I'm a straight white older man with a white collar job, it'd be her wet dream to have some kinky dubcon sex with me then tell everyone who'd listen it was rape for attention.

Asshole thief will always be the worst player to have at your table. The horny bard archetype is annoying but generally not outright counter productive and can usually be reigned in or distracted by the DM tossing him a piece of tail to chase, and at best you can have fun stories where they get screwed over by thinking with their dick or their romantic misadventures lead you to some valuable info or a whole new adventure. They're generally social beings who just want to have fun and can be spoken to logically and can change their behavior if the party asks them to tone it down a bit.
Asshole thief characters genuinely fuck over the party constantly and always use "but its what my stupid dangerous asshole character would do because I willingly designed him that way!" as a shield. Even in socially retarded ttrpg circles I don't know how there are so many people who think its ok to steal from the party or repeatedly fuck up their plans by making enemies out of absolutely everyone. You are 1/4th of the table, at most. We ALL want to have fun, not just you. This is a GAME and we WILL exclude you if you make us.

what's better/worse (can't decide) is she wouldn't have done it with any malice to me at all. she would only have seen the attention it'd get her and not what it would cost me.
that and she believed the whole white men never get punished meme because a few billionaires were found not guilty so she wouldn't even consider how her attention seeking would affect me lol.

yes she absolutely needs locking up.

D&D is just wholesome chungus drama kid tranny power fantasy shit now where the crippled gay wizard gets to roll around the handi-accessible dungeon with his best orc bard buddy who totally isn't a metaphor for black people because D&D is inclusive now, chuds.

Gygax bending over for his Tolkienfag friends was a mistake. he preferred sword & sorcery like Conan which is based. Tolkien fantasy is children's fairy tales, it was the very start of a slippery slope. Dark Sun should have become the official setting that everyone thinks of when they hear "D&D" but nope, we're stuck with faggy Tolkien wholesome taverncore faggotry and now troons are making sure we know their characters have mastectomy scars in a world where they literally can change sex at will if they find the right artifact, potion or spell and insist on riding their magic mobility scooters around in a world where a potion can heal any illness or injury.

Horny Bard or lol random anything are both pretty bad. One hogs spotlight that could be used to do something more useful (meaning literally anything) and the later sabotages the game.

I'm not so sure.
Playing at a table with a dickass rogue is definitely worse than playing at a table with a horny bard, but the horny bard has completely poisoned the perception of the class.
I can play a rogue and just not be a dickass and there's no problem. I can't play a bard without everyone winking and nudging and waiting for me to fuck every monster we see.

>>98641999
>>98642044
it was the worst stat because in the "reality" of a fantasy adventure game about fighting monsters, its pointless. The theater therapy kids took over, and thus the crunch changed to accomodate to cater to them. Charisma is the "but my mom thinks I'm cool" stat.

charisma only existed to begin with for intimidation, persuasion and leadership checks. On occasion, seduction because there has always been the tavern wench plapper player.

now d&d has been extrovertised and "players" want their heckin' Critical Role experience, and to have their characters be the same hypersocial extroverts that will roleplay out a whole evening in the tavern so now charisma affects turning the fucking undead and shit to retcon it out of being what was a pointless stat for actual players who just want to chuck spells, arrows and swords at goblins and loot their lair for shiny magic shit and then use the tavern as a place to hear rumours and rest their characters

>>
>>98637640
>>98637663
having had both at the table I would prefer the horny bard over the dickass thief.
at least with the horny bard its usually just an overtold joke and doesnt really lead to anywhere as long as your DM isnt also a freak. The dickass thief is by far worse as it has direct negative consequences to the rest of the party especially if the DM doesnt know how to deal with them properly both in and out of combat.
I would much prefer a bard making a horny joke in any social setting the party ends up in than a Rogue who is constantly causing trouble, hordes loot from the party makes the game difficult for the DM to manage and just generally ruining the experience for the rest of the party, fuck rogues.
>>
>>98655244
>You don't like Mossa's work you love the fact that it irritates other people

So objectively untrue I have to take the bait.
I fucking LOVE Mossa's work. I love his historical pieces, I love his warcraft and warhammer stuff. I love his dark line work, how he contrasts it with bright but earthy organic tones, I love how unique his character designs are while still being very conventional and grounded in traditional realism.

It's some of his older stuff, but his Cthulu Mythos work really demonstrates this excellently: his interpretation of the Great Race of Yith reads as both an explicitly alien, mollusc, type creature fit for the setting, but still demonstrates a gracile softness of a sophisticated and civilized intellectual species.
I LOVE Mossa's work, dude.

That's why I play female bards who get fucked BY basically every monster we see. But not the party members. Never the party members. They aren't good enough, and she always makes sure they know that. She needs to find big, sub-human monster cock in order to feel any pleasure, and they just can't provide it.

>>98637640
It's not, it's the most cliche and overdone unfunny trope. A bad pun everyone is tired of hearing.

The real toxic players are usually Sorcerers. Not in a "all sorcerers do this" way, but in a "when a player does this shit, they're a sorcerer".
>wants to be a caster but easy mode
>just wants to do spells like it's a videogame, throw damage at things, no creativity, no utility spells
>needs prestidigitation explained, still doesn't get what it's for "but it doesn't do damage"
>usually the one trying too hard to minmax and metagame while knowing the least about the game
>the class of choice for the "it's what my character would do" types
>charisma based class, has no clue how to apply that to gameplay because they're on their phone during the rp when they're not trying to kill NPCs to speedrun. If this were a videogame they'd be spamming the button to skip cutscenes and dialogue.
>you had to walk them through making the character sheet, and they still don't get it
>they insist they want to play but when a session is canceled it's because they weren't in the mood and lied about having to work.

Best way to be sure a sorcerer player isn't gonna be like this is if you tell them they're charisma based and they try to act like the horny bard. Which is marginally better.
