Is that a thing where you roll to see what you have to roll, giving you effectively the same odds as a coin flip? I vaguely recall hearing about something like that.

most people want to play as their own gender, telling them if they do they must have these scientifically accurate differences in a game where you'll be doing things impossible for humans to do anyway even without magic is just lovely, hth.

Goddamn women, first they steal our jobs and now they steal our tax money  Also fixed stat bonuses for races/genders is a terrible mechanic because it actually forces you into the intended race/class combinations unless you want to have a permanent handicap on your character. Thus it only breeds uniformity.  sweeperbravo posted:lmao women making up the majority of the electorate makes it "not fair" ughhh FEMALES!!!! electing DEMOCRATS Well duh, Democracy is only fair when I'm part of the majority. Else it's oppressive.

Strudel Man posted:Well, no, it's not particularly necessary for a fantasy game to model real-world differences. It just seems a bit silly to say that doing so constitutes sexism, particularly if it's done in a way that matches penalties with bonuses for overall mechanical parity. Actually I'm going to display my extreme nerdiness by pointing out that in (most? idk my D&D knowledge is severely out of date) D&D a single point of strength at the highest level for humans makes a huge difference because 18 is the highest you can ordinarily get by rolling dice for a human character, and when you actually hit 18 you roll a second die out of 100 and use the second number to add additional bonuses. So you get 18/01 up to 18/100 with higher numbers giving significantly higher bonuses. If you simply give female characters -1 on that initial die roll you restrict them to 17 strength which denies them all those percentile bonuses that men get at 18, and +1 on constitution doesn't balance that out because going from 18 to 19 constitution doesn't make that big a difference compared to going from 17 to 18/100 strength. Basically if someone says "well women aren't as strong as men so realism" then you should respond "yeah well in real life no one can cast spells so I guess there's no wizards in this game, realism"

I'm not sure that was always the case. The 18/100 thing was AD&D specific.

 Crossposting from the funny pictures thread. It's like someone heard the concept of a "family tree" but never learned they were drawn top to bottom. also I'm pretty sure this shows that incest is canon with Knuckles' family

Wasn't that written by the guy who just kept making different Knuckleses while absolutely no-one at either Archie Comics or Sega paid any attention to what was going on with the comic?

I can't find a decent source about it but yeah p much. The artist is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Penders and he just did his thing and then copyrighted the characters he created and I think he wants to do a big spin off with his Lara Su character.

I like that where it joins up is all blanks. So there was no reason the family tree HAD to involve incest because none of those characters exist so there was no canon to preserve. But it does anyway.
