Psionics are pretty rad people.

Not to mention I suck at music.

im permabanned poster wizardstomper58. i first started exploring ud when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "irony" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "wizard staves" and "i love making GBS threads inside bags of holding" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically magic-induced hallucination. im now on potions of cure disease. i always wondered what the kind of "ironic" style of ud exploration was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" ud to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a dreadful curse. peace.

Eventually your dogmatic lock step is going to lead you into a catch-22 and you're going to go full evil. History has so many examples of Paladins turning from the light, because some bitch boy rogue, with a bluff skill in the low triple digits, talks your rear end into killing orphans to save the rest of the town from plague.

Just want to say that before I write anything else everything I say does not directly reflect the views of WCDM's and is purely my own opinion. Welp, here we go! The 'idea' of Lawful Good is absurd. You get so focused on justice of those who have committed wrong deeds or always doing the right thing no matter what that it allows you to either A) Be manipulated so drat easily, or B) Become so rigid in how you deal with things people just don't want to deal with you. "Oh great I can't hang out with Applewhite because he is just going to shun my illegal expedition into an ancient Tomb of the Gods that he isn't going to care about the freakin' sweet relic I found. So what if I let loose a greater evil that is still roaming the country side? This robe gives me insane fire resistance! I can basically solo a dragon at this point!". Not to mention you are against killing people to get what you want? Wow dude, now that's immature.

I just want to be able to wear my stars and moons robes without people mocking me and trying to burn me at the stake also so sick of people asking me to use my magic to heal them, do they not know the difference between a wizard and a cleric? Do they know how rude it is to assume all magic is alike?

there need to be more regulations against offensive magic imo. i dont have a problem with arcane & elemental resistance, or even basic self defense like magic missile but theres no loving reason at all for anyone to be using fireball, or even worse are ppl who use lighting bolt like they actually have any idea where its gonna go next. thats how innocent ppl get killed. how many have to die before we say enough is enough

VendaGoat posted:It's not a sustainable alignment. This. This is my biggest pet peeve with society's treatment of paladins. We're rarely acknowledged in the media and when we are, it's only to portray us as overly dogmatic puritans who are perpetually one bad encounter away from becoming the next Arthas. Just because you read it on TVTropes doesn't mean it's true. Most paladins go their whole lives without bathing a whole village in the cleansing purity of holy fire, but no-one wants to talk about them.

Luvcow posted:it's trash magic for trash people "look at me I'm dumb as bricks but I'm good looking so I can cast spells!" Yeah but you gotta keep some of them around to keep us company. It gets awfully lonely up in my wizard tower, and there is no way another wizard worth their salt is going to stop their research to come visit me. Sometimes I give them little 'quests' to do for me like "go find this ancient herb that grows in this cave and bring me three duck feathers!" and they do it every time. They are just so stupid, but so so pretty.

Weird how often I read/hear this sentence immediately before every single WCDM launches into the same diatribe. And before you say anything, "killing people to drive out the evil within them because I want a world without evil" is not the same as "killing people to get sweet loot because I want loot" and if you can't see the difference then you are the immature one.

Bard college being free has a lot to do with it, I can tell ya that. A nation of whimps is what that causes! And I'd be damned if I'm gunna let this here fine nation become a nation of whimps! Our eternal doctrine clearly states that we have the right to prepare 1+ your class level in spell every day. Just because some of us like to use our rights doesn't mean we are a buncha savages! Go live with the elves or the flipping gnomes if you want a society where everyone is talking about their feelings or how the latest pair of mechanical boots is hella cool or whatever. loving neutral goods/lawful neutrals.

The ignorance is disgusting. You know the other day I had someone tell me I "wasn't really a paladin" just because I put all my skill points into fighting abilities and only occasionally experiment with magic. As if that means I don't still feel the invisible pull of the ley lines beneath my feet or appreciate the arc of a big, glistening ice blast as it freezes a target solid.

What are you, some loving twelve year old hedge mage that found his master's crystal ball unguarded and just decided to come on here and poo poo the place up? I could start with how gods and souls interact in the ether of the astral plane but I would rather just tell you to put a magic missile through your stupid loving head.
