Yea
Retracting this, wawaloni just explicitly said she's not a Paladin player.
But I was right about Mori.
that's incredibly close to what the party comp is for the game I run currently.

One that incorporates the 4 humors, obviously. Too many parties fail due to having Black Bile with no Phlegm to balance it out.

Not playing D&D
>Go to /k/
>Have you tried not shooting rifles?
>Rifles are dogshit only brain dead morons use
>There are so many other weapons besides rifles that offer so many more options
nah
the correct comparison would be that everyone only makes threads about the shittiest rifle that jams and overheats and can't even shoot straight, then someone comes in and ask them if they tried not using that particular shitty rifle when there are multiple others that are better
Never been to /k/, have you?
How dare you blaspheme the nugget
Ya know, it's funny people who complain about D&D don't actually know the rules. Recently watched the Rules Lawyer's video comparing D&D and PF2 combat, and while he got it mostly right, there are a few rules he missed. I don't blame him, and he represented it pretty well. But some of you nuggets, both players and haters, never actually read the rules and just learn from live plays or friends who learned from live plays. And it shows. D&D is actually very tight and detailed.
But I guess this poses a question. Does that matter if no one uses it the way it's supposed to be used? To use the gun analogy further, is it the fault of a .48 caliber gun if the users keep using .22 LR bullets? Is it the fault of the manufacturer for not advertising it correctly? Maybe of the fans who keep saying that .22 LR bullets SHOULD be used?
>the correct comparison would be that everyone only makes threads about the shittiest rifle that jams and overheats and can't even shoot straight, then someone comes in and ask them if they tried not using that particular shitty rifle when there are multiple others that are better
He's talking about D&D, not Savage Worlds.
It's not my fault you're using a shitty outdated smoothbore musket in the age of automatic rifle. Just like it's not my fault your choice of tabletop games in a shitty outdated trash fire in an age of literally hundreds of better games out there.
this is like going to Ganker and getting mad at someone suggesting you play a game other than Fortnite
the entire ttrpg hobby =/= one IP owned by an 8 billion dollar megacorporation
>Go to /k/
>Have you tried not shooting the YC9?
>Hi-points are dogshit only brain dead morons use
>There are so many other weapons besides Hi-points that offer so many more options
FTFY at least get your analogies right.
Actually the comparison would be AR-15, which, as everyone knows, is among the worst rifles ever created.

I'd swap the fighter for an unintentionally funny barbarian, the young sorcerer for an absent-minded and eccentric wizard and the druidess for an immature thief with something to prove. The wisecracking cleric is now the childhood friend of the ranger.

I think this is some goon's character art. I remember my friends being astounded when I pointed out how much a commission like this costs.
How much, dear anon?
going by the artist's commission sheet, at least $400, probably more since it has more than one figure
Those prices aren't that outrageous doe. Commissioned art work is a luxury item.
AI can't replace artists fast enough
To be fair, prices are very variable in art, you gotta shop around. Annoying to find an artist you like who isn't 1.) A schizo flake 2.) Open for commissions 3.) The right price sometimes, though.
I have to imagine pretty soon we're gonna be stuck having to specify "no AI tool use" to less scrupulous artists who want quicker turnover. That shit is easy to spot and looks awful, no reason to pay money for it.
>le ai looks awful cope
How do things look in the past anon? Having a good time alongside the horse buggy whip salesmen?
AI art is like CGI. Easily recognized and always bad. It's useful for nonartists or cheapskates to get something workmanlike, but it's not craft and does not merit money.

I'm confused are sultry sorceresses supposed to be redheads or blondes?
Fire sorcereses have to be redheads, chinese or black: I don't make the rules. Ice sorcereses are pale blonde, verging on albino.
Everyone knows this.
>Petite trickster thief who can put her ankles behind her head
UUUUUUUNGGGGGGG
That looks like the gayest group of gays ever. I'd kill them and take their b***hes with my host of death chads.

The little dog girl will literally bite their faces off and turn them into jerky.

Not that I doubt she could, but how?
I dunno. You can turn ghosts, robots, stone monsters into jerky in the game and I'm sure there's some skelly enemies I forgor about.

Anon...
What?
There are no male elves.
What?
There are no such thing as male elves, what is there to not understand?
Huh?
It’s quite simple, really. There’s no such thing as male elves.
4 Dwarves and their dead elf wagon
What dark sorcery happened to create an elf-wagon hybrid? Did it die soon after birth?
the elf saw your mom and decided he’d rather frick a wagon
the elf wagon saw your mom and killed itself
Was born without a mother
dissociative amnesia after the trauma of seeing your mother
Was about to joke on how the elves are so good at wagon-making they are able to grant life to them, then I started going on an imaginary trip.
Like the elves and dwarves weren’t always on the best of terms, but sometimes friendships bloom over the centuries and members of each race gave each other gifts to celebrate their friendship. Eventually, the elves grew tired of this world and ventured forth to impossibly distant lands on board their living wagons, never to be seen again. Dwarves were too obstinate to say goodbye, not even showing up when the elves depart on their great journey. Some wanted to accompany them, but also couldn’t fathom to leave their ancestral homes. A few were even spiteful that they wouldn’t stay behind for them, enjoying the lot life has given them.
Decades, then centuries passed. The glorious cities the elves inhabited are now less than ruins. Nature has claimed its birthright over the lands. Most people nowadays know of elves through myths, their legends having almost vanished from the world, except for a few of their gifts left behind. Once such gift was a living wagon left to a dwarven clan. While originally its purpose was to allow the dwarves to follow the elves on their journey should they wish so, it instead served the clan loyally for generations. Until one day, its magic started fading away. What was living was now living no more, and with its death the last token this clan had of their mutual history with the elves was lost.
Now the clan of dwarves decided to embark on a great journey of their own. To follow the footsteps of the elves, find whatever they left behind and perhaps find a way to fix the living wagon. Some wish to encounter their long lost friends and rekindle their past friendships… and some are curious to see what was so amazing in the lands beyond the known world, that the elves would decide to stay there.

It's the original set that still holds true and anything else is a waste. It's also the reason why most Grogs only have four friends.

I rocked this in Icewind Dale once except the Cleric/Mage was a gnome. It worked out pretty well. I've considered this composition for later editions of D&D but players seldom want to multi-class off the bat and the focus on player abilities means that one class in 5e can do what two classes in AD&D can do.

No, she's an artificer.
For comfort? At least one of each of the following (double-dipping allowed)
>A good storyteller (ghost stories a big plus)
>A good singer/musician
>A good hunter/fisher
>A good forager (gotta get dem herbs)
>A good cook
Bonus points if someone can cast Leomund's "Tiny Hut" or "Secure Shelter" (Mordenkainen can frick right off with his glamping nonsense).
I'm glad SOMEONE is taking what the OP said seriously! 😀
I'd go with:
Princess Aurora Sya Lis Goodereste from "Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle": Great at improvising comfy beds from available materials
Umaru Doma, from "Himouto! Umaru-chan": Anime & Video Game connoisseur
Rem, from "Re:Zero": cute maid, to make sure everyone has snacks
Some sort of cute anime girl wizard: For casting spells to summon comfy chairs and couches, and to keep all the cushions and pillows magically fluffed (unfortunately, I couldn't figure out anything more specific)
Ryo-Ohki, from "Tenchi Muyo!": for snuggling, transportation, and space combat (mostly just the snuggling, though)
Enough Teddy Demons for everyone, from "Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle": For snuggling, and whatever small jobs they can manage
people that know how to roleplay.
but not a fetish icebreaker prelude to an orgy or circle jerk like would have you believe
What "orgy"? There's NOTHING comfy about an orgy! I'm talking a fully platonic sleepover with snacks, video games, anime, and hugs! Seriously, you have to be pretty damn demented to think of something perverted to do with a (barely) demonically possessed teddy bear with cute little devil wings on the back.
I DEMAND someone stick to the OP premise and outdo the above in ACTUAL comfy, and not just the "nostalgic RP party" schlock that everyone else keeps resorting to!

How can one thread have so many wrong opinions?
Kobolds
my comfiest party was an instant loss/charisma break impish-but-bossy sorceress whose final solution was Fireball, a loony zealot that barely even understood his god but was a fervent believer and proselytizer all the same, a "might makes right" utterly invincible goofball obsessed with all the most stupid kinds of honor, and a quiet but utterly amoral rogue
so I think the comfiest party is one where no one's particularly heroic and the stakes aren't very high, and classes etc don't really matter in comparison to just having a bunch of characters that aren't trying to be speshul. also important is a willingness to engage in shenanigans. every time any of us does an all-business guy it sucks.
I'm doing one right now and I regret it
The thing about all business guys is that no one can always be all business. You need to actually give your character individual personality traits. Things they're goofy about, flaws, very particular habits. An all-business guy can easily be a resident comedy relief character depending on how you characterize their devotion.
If your all business guy is a character that just goes "there is no time for tomfoolery, we must adjourn to the mission at once", that's not a character, that's a quest marker.
my all business guy in this instance is a paranoid schizophrenic that I made up a bunch of headcanons for so that I could stick to them
it might have been goofy and that was the intent but it turns out everything he said was true and now he's on a one-way route to hell
at the start I was going for a kiryu-type All Business guy but it backfired on me
I think it's kind of why everyone's okay with the character but I still feel like I'm fricking things up and hogging the spotlight and making sidequests and hijinx not happen just by proximity because everyone's so focused on my shit since it was true all along
>former soldier haunted by warcrimes he committed when he felt he had no choice

>powerful warlock who is certainly evil but allied with the heroes out of personal interest
>gravedigger necromancer that learned necromancy in order to attempt to revive his true love
this is my cast in a story I was working on
Fighter, Cleric, Wizard, Thief. Preferably all human, but elf or dwarf is allowed. All male. Set in a generic medieval European world, all character outfits should look no more complicated than actors at a renaissance fair.
1 spec ops guy with ptsd, 2 anthropologists who are wondering if he is going to snap and murder them, 1 FBI agent pretending to be a private investigator who is waiting to shoot all of them if he needs to.

Maximum Kino can be achieved by the four classes
Ranger - someone who knows the wilds and how to move in them
Wizard - someone skilled in magic and uses it sparingly
Barbarian - someone whose job it is to crack heads and be a big beef slab
Rogue - someone who knows the city and its underbelly
Oops! All Bards.
