Funnily enough, that's actually how the samurai wore it. There's a specific reason for it: They didn't have the metal supplies necessary to produce metal armor in the same way that Europe did. The armor was primarily made of leather. IIRC, the specific style used in the picture was sometimes...

That's just it: We're not the ones who limited the class. Reskinning a monk has always been easy, as has been altering their weapon proficiencies; I've reskinned them before to be Egyptian holy warriors and given them Egyptian-themed weapon profs. The issue is that WotC chose to limit it. When...

Be glad. The fighting nearly killed the entire WoD game. And right now, nWoD is split between post-God Machine and pre-God Machine players. And they're fighting. About the only people perfectly happy right now are the oWoD people.

I think so!

I actually did this with the AK-47s. It was an interesting campaign, especially since they were the only ones who had the weapons. Characters ended up defeating the wizard who was supplying the weapons and ammunition... only to realize they forgot to secure the portal! Suddenly, the ammunition...

I agree with the hair adornments; those look like something put in after battle. But, you're wrong about the helmet. Actually sit down and look at it, then compare it to her head; the helmet is actually obviously larger than her head is. It takes up a rather sizable portion of the right side of...

He's the guy with a sword standing in front of the tree, next to the woman.

I don't see why they don't. Pistols, as firearms, predate full plate armor. Now, pistols that could easily pierce full plate armor... that's massively more modern. There's a reason why, even with firearms around, metal armor persisted up through World War 1. Plus, guns have been in 2E and 3E...

There were women knight orders that existed. Back in an era where "knight order" and "elite combat veterans" were synonyms. Plus, there were rules in medieval times for women wrestlers. And, yes, it did include a lot of injuries. Women in Europe very much did wear armor and see a lot of combat...

That one only calmed down when White Wolf threw up their hands and started producing new oWoD stuff.

Guns hitting touch AC is a Pathfinder thing. In the 3.x DnD books, they didn't have that feature. You can pick up the DMG and check out their stats. In general, I found they were handled very well. Ironically, if we wanted to be realistic, crossbows should hit touch AC. They were specifically...

Sometimes it does. DM: "Really? You want to cut off the dewclaw of a great red wyrm that is flying two hundred feat in the sky? Better roll..." Player: *rolls a natural 20* DM: "..."

I think they'll end up doing gun users as their own class just due to how many people hate gun users in DnD.

I believe that's actually what happened, too.

Not judging. I babysit my young cousins a lot :) It means "overexaggerated metaphor" unless the speaker is autistic, at which point it means "literally." This is why I don't post based on my experiences when arguing. On the internet, they either get derided as invalid or taken as being an...

And in this, you admit defeat and that you dance around in clown makeup and a tutu! (Joking! Had to make the joke! :p)

My exposure actually started with a copy of a book written in the 1600s about Robin Hood. The rest was the same movies you referenced when I was growing up. I was exposed more to Knights Templar stuff, which was due to my grandmother being a Knights Templar/Masons conspiracy theorist (among...

Yep. Having a historical debate about Friar Tuck. That said, if you want to see the Western archetype of holy men fighting (which includes monks), there are two classes which deal with it: The Cleric and the Paladin. It was the source of those classes, and both of them actually tend to come...

They got European fantasy game in my Eastern armor art! /ragequit

That does not mean you are correct. Pick up The Templars: The Secret History Revealed by Barbara Frale. In it, she discusses how the Pope had forbade priests, and all monks, from going into combat or spilling blood. She also argues the Templars were not monks because of that and the fact true...
