[QUOTE="Dark Jezter, post: 679966, member: 1015"] One of the classic pieces of RPG humor is the [url=http://home.mira.net/~tosh/humour/realmen.htm]Four types of Player Characters.[/url] Now, since "101" threads have been so popular around here, I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon. This time, the thread could give the joke an 3E D&D slant. In case you're unfamiliar with it, the four basic player types are... [b]The Real Man:[/b] The guy who fears nobody, and rarely backs down from a fight. [b]The Real Roleplayer:[/b] This player who has 10 pages of backstory for their character. [b]The Loony:[/b] The character who does weird stuff for the sake of doing weird stuff. [b]The Munchkin:[/b] Everybody should know who this guy is. :D Okay now, I'll get the ball rolling... When creating a PC... [b]The Real Man:[/b] Half-orc barbarian with a greataxe. [b]The Real Roleplayer:[/b] Half-elf bard who is feeling angsty about being an outcast. [b]The Loony:[/b] Svirfneblin expert with skill points loaded up in Perform (Exotic Belly Dancing). [b]The Munchkin:[/b] Half-dragon half-dwarf sorcerer with a family heirloom that grants +6 to all saving throws... at 1st level. When facing an army of several thousand orcs... [b]The Real Man:[/b] "If you retreat now, you'll all be spared. If not, every one of you will die." [b]The Real Roleplayer:[/b] "Noble orc chieftan, I come representing the lords of the seven great nations, and I'm here to propose a deal that will be mutually beneficial to both of our great societies." [b]The Loony:[/b] "Bring the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!" [b]The Munchkin:[/b] "I cast fly, improved invisiblity, and haste upon myself, which I all had prepared as quickened spells. Then I summon a planar ally while casting delayed-blast fireballs over the army... Let's see, how much expirience will 10,000 orcs provide?" When having a romantic randevous with the object of their affection... [b]The Real Man:[/b] "Gimme some sugar, baby!" [b]The Real Roleplayer:[/b] "Oh, my fair maiden. Thou eyes are like the sea after a storm, thy hair is like gold crafted by the finest dwarven smiths..." [b]The Loony:[/b] "I brought along a feather, a goat, and a pink tutu!" [b]The Munchkin:[/b] "Is she a succubus? Please tell me she's a succubus so I can slay her and get some expirience." When dividing up the treasure horde after a tough battle... [b]The Real Man:[/b] "Just give me my fair share so I can spend it on ale and whores." [b]The Real Roleplayer:[/b] "When will the killing stop? I feel that I will forever be doomed to witness bloodshed in the name of gold and glory, O woe is me..." [b]The Loony:[/b] "I ignore the treasure and instead cut the ears off our slain enemies to make a necklace out of." [b]The Munchkin:[/b] "I roll a diplomacy check to convince the other PCs to give me their share of the loot... a 36! They not only give me their loot, but they also willingly part with things they had before the adventure!" [/QUOTE]
