I think he's from this alternate dimension I've heard of, where normal things like owlbears and kolbalds are just imaginary things in a game based on fictional novels.

I had a couple materialize in my castle keep once, we had a long fascinating talk about how magic is real and all their adventurous dreams really could come true here in the land of fantasy; then of course I fed them to the skeletons

I love those people.

But only the ones who think they know what's what, and that their dreams came true, and now they'll be some big hero. They're adorable.

Now, the truly clueless and innocent? Those are trouble. I went to school with Mrs. Of The West, and even though we weren't friends, we kept in touch. Really tragic, what happened.

you've really gotta be careful with those outworlders. I was born into a steampunk realm where some rear end in a top hat who lived in a trailer crash landed in our world and was recruited by some excentric dickbag in a baloon and before I could do anything he's assembled the Staff Of Oblivion and killed my sister Hecubah. All of a sudden I'm being hunted and I have to exit into a medieval-world and my quality of life went backwards by a lot.

Your bitch of a sister had a house dropped on her by some "muggle" from loving Kansas.

That bitch spent all day with three fucks that couldn't find their collective body parts from a loving apple orchard.

Hey thread, need some help here. I've been considering going evil ever since I was accepted to magical school, but I'm having a hard time deciding on a major. I've been mostly taking classes in Hexing but lately I've felt a really strong draw to necromancy since it seems win win: kill an enemy, get a skeleton. Only problem is that the extra credits would keep me from taking any more courses in Dark Artificing, and I've always wanted to make a black amulet to store the soul of my nemesis in. Any necromantiphiliacs out there who can give me the inside scoop on if the lifestyle is all it's cracked up to be? How's your work/unlife balance?

The market is oversaturated with necromancers at this point. Dark Artifice is an emerging market.

ghosthorse posted:

The draw back to dark artificing in general is that you have to move shops every time you sell an item, immediately after they leave your store. That kind of address hopping can play hell on maintaining a business license. Have you considered interning for an established necromancer to get a feel for it?

Sure, necromancers say they will offer you a work-to-hire contract, but the odds are you will just become a skeleton before they remember to offer you full time employment.

I don't suppose any of you would have the whim to help a wizard? I commissioned a portrait of my fellow dark sorceror, Black Gandalf, and unfortunately no longer remember the name of the artist or the painting. All my scrying, locating, memory-charm spells are uhhhh out of charge, can't find the plug thing. Anyway it's a painting of a wizard with a frosty can of beer, he's sitting at a modern table (not marble) and looking at you, all, "Have a cold one, man, let's shoot the poo poo about mandrakes." Thanks in advance.

The real problem with artificing is it's just so profitable.

I mean at first it's all "battling over meteoric iron ore" and "infusing it with the the blood of virgin princess souls to enthrall the will of men" but after you forge and sell your tenth million-gold-piece-horcrux you look around your treasure hall and the endless piles of gold coins and you're like, 'should all my funds be in commodities?' So you diversify and then you're reluctant to summon the ancient ones to destroy all life (because the the effects on the stock market) and pretty soon you're a lawful-neutral hedge-fund sorcerer with a jewelry hobby

If you have more money? You should be greedier and more evil. You're doing it wrong.

Guys, let's talk Enurgumen! Like when I'm trying to anchor an embodiment of horror into the Material Plane, I go for ripped elves.

A) They have enough skin real estate that you can fit pretty much the perfect amount of bonding runes

B) their skin burns like blue or green depending on magical saturation levels so your Aenima always looks it's spookiest

C) likewise the pointy ears...

Also small enough that getting armor made for them isn't so bad

poo poo, I thought I was the only one who realized just how awful elves are. Of course you can't just go around saying this to people, you get branded as a horrible racist even though every third phrase that elves speak is some garbage about 'lesser races'. Somehow when they say it it's perfectly fine.

Well, if you do nothing, then when you do meet your end you'll be nothing, just a memory in the minds of your enemies until they die. Better take the chance with the lich route than the guarantee of oblivion.

Of course you have a soul. It's what's dragged screaming to a hell plane when your wheeling and dealing with devils for infernal power catches up with you. Which it never should, if you're halfway competent and Keep The Laws.

You know, this is why I banned Conjuration. Teleportation always seemed too good to be true... Sure, you get to disappear in a flash of light but what makes you think it's still "you" on the other end?! I mean, it's OK if you're just summoning endless hordes of fiendish rats or an occasional angel or two, this is why we're evil, right? But doing it to yourself is simply unnatural.

Actually, a pretty big 'Open Secret' in Lichdom is that Vecna was super into water parks, so the first thing he did when he became a malicious psychpomp was change it so that dying and getting booted back to your phylactery just feels like you're water-sliding out of your body and into your 'lac!

Like when it gets really sunny out sometimes I'll toss my 'lac into the elemental plane of water and just jump off a cliff like 3-4 times.

The last time I got vanquished and shunted out of my body into one of my horcruxes (horcruxi?) it took my spirit a full year to retake my mortal form and it turns out that soulless lich-me (only a demi-lich actually kinda embarrassing) had subjugated the entire countryside and turned all my enemies into skeletons.

It's how I got started in the skeleton game! Plus I had all these great memories of BEING a skeleton.

Sometimes I wish instead of regaining my 72 year old human form I'd paid extra to turn into an handsome adventurer type, but that's such a cliche with necromancers. Any time "Zog the Ancient terror" shows up looking like a fit 35 year old again it's like "hey Zog time for your post life crisis already eh?"
