>Elite City Guards function like Riot police IRL
>if they have a bunch of WE WUZ WIZARDS shooting wands and spells around they throw thunderstones into the crowd like flashbangs to disorient and then tackle magic-users to the ground
I now want to watch a medieval-fantasy style Cops show, probably just called "Guards".
Try level 31 guards.
>THE UNION SENTINELS
>The Union Sentinels are a police force, an elite unit of guards who patrol the streets of Union, a planar metropolis run by mercane business leaders. The Union Sentinels’ sole purpose is to enforce the law and capture lawbreakers by nonlethal methods, holding them until they stand trial.
>Members: 5,000+.
>Supreme Commander Dilella (LG female human Pal21/Union Sentinel10)
>Captain Commander Johiaz Tower (NG male dwarf Ftr21/Union Sentinel5)
>Typical Sentinel Patrol (EL 23): 3 regulars (Ftr14), 1 sergeant (Ftr21/Union Sentinel2).
>When a typical patrol of three regulars and one sergeant can’t handle a job, the backup team first called contains 2–5 (1d4+1) more doughty warriors.
>Union Sentinel Backup Team Member: Human Ftr30/Union Sentinel1
Nothin' personnel, adventurer...
Who’s idea was it to make a city where level 31 people are wagies? Union is one of the most absurd concepts in dnd history. Why the frick is everyone there a level 21+ demigod working a 9 to 5?
It depresses me that I have seen nobody repackage this stuff as Chinese-style Heavenly Bureaucracy, because it'd fit that like a glove. Every soldier in good standing of the celestial Host could slaughter a mortal army, but then Sun Wukong walks in as a pile of shameless bullshit to which these 30th-level normal-in-kind Martials are helpless that powerlevels to full-scale Pantheon-grinding by styling over the mediocrity writ large.
That would involve using classes from the Forbidden Book.
Forbidden book is best book. I’d actually like to see a more Wuxia/Xianxia flavored splat for 3.5. It’s cool and could actually have some interesting mechanics
>whose idea was it?
Small minded, fearful people who crave authoritarianism, and avoid scary things like freedom and personal responsibility.
>a medieval-fantasy show called "Guards"
That's just "Knights" from Shrek 2.
The pepper grinder gets me every fricking time.

You could just read "Guards Guards" instead...
British fantasy fricking sucks. German and Danish fantasy is much better.
You illiterate Black person. The British INVENTED modern fantasy
>illiterate
>proceeds to state something nobody asked for
Irony.
Anyway, Das Geheimnis von Askir > Discworld
Seconding and additionally reccomending the entire City Watch series of Discworld. It's really good.
>"So we've got a 10241; very typical in this part of the city. Drunken bard, got a little handsy with the tavern wench, she denied his advances, next thing you know, he's trying to use Suggestion on her. Big no-no."
>pulls up to the tavern with horse and prison-wagon
>barkeep is outside frantic
>guards get down to meet with him
>"Alright sire, on order of Captain of the Guard, we're here to-"
>"PLEASE, PLEASE, YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME, HE'S HERE!"
>"Who, sire? Who's here?"
>"BALDURNATH BRIDGEPORT, HE SAID HE WOULD RETURN SOME DAY, AND TODAY IS THAT DAY! HE'S JUST INSIDE, HE-
>Barkeep explodes into gore
>"Oh, Lord....*pulls out Rod of Telepathy* Alerting Barracks 3, We've got a BBEG in a Tavern on Rosemary Street, seems to have put a hex-curse on his name that instantly casts Power Word Kill on whoever says it, refer to him strictly as Baldy for short, might want to alert the Paladin Unit."
Did you seriously just make this thread again immediately after it dropped off the board?
You taffer, just play Thief. RIP Benny
