Why Bodybuilding is bad

[Korgoth]

Dude you're totally missing the point. D&D is totally about bulking up, brah! That's like totally the metaphor of the whole game. Like, "I used to be this 1st level pansy and this big orc came up and kicked sand in face, but then I started bulking up. I'm totally 12th level now and everybody has to call me Lord Dude instead of just Dude, and I totally rule the beach. You should totally see what I did to that orc, brah, it wasn't pretty. Dude."

Yo!

I do note how many body builders were into Frazetta art and barbarians and even still use warrior imagery in advertising.

Healthy D&Ding. The concept makes me happy on so many levels!

I must admit, though, I don't know who Jon Snow is.

Burn the Heretic!
(But not before he reads "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George RR Martin.)

That's not bodybuilding as I define it. For me bodybuilding refers only to activity which builds muscles used during actual play.

ROTFLMAO

Sorry, I guess Wheel of Time turned me off to the other "perpetually ongoing" fantasy novel series out there. I got tired of waiting for the conclusion and decided to pick it back up when the last book is available to read.

Yep, 12 ounce curls or if you are really strong, 16 ounce curls.

Thanks,

I think we need a Beach Lord PrC.

Disciple of Atlas?

Disciple of Atlas?

That works!

 

[Prince of Happiness]

That works!

Now I'm picturing a PrC that stacks SICK STR bonuses every level.

Minimum requirements: Must put at least one ability score bonus thingy (the one you get at 5th lvl) into STR, minimum score of 12, petition the titan Atlas (but you can call him "Charles.")

Surprisingly, mostly bards and wizards move to this prestige class after having their girlfriends stolen from them and having sand kicked in their faces by fighters and barbarians who are inordinately fond of stealing girlfriends and kicking sand in the faces of the weaker classes (bards especially).
