D&D Demotivators Episode V: The Demotivator Strikes Back

[The Tygre]

...All I want to do,
Is race beneath the bright blue sky,
And be a happy choo-choo train,
Until the day I die.

I see I'll have to educate all of you on the proper use of the word 'epic'. Until then, bide yourselves with historical exemplars of base classes in the 3.5 handbook.

Bonus bonus points for sorcerer's quote. Where is that one from? I love it!

Yeah, I wanted Hayha in there, either as a Fighter or a Ranger. But I was determined to only use quotes from the actual people, and Hayha was never really all that talkative.

On that note, the sorcerer is Aleister Crowley, and the quote comes from his work, 'The Book of Lies'. I was actually torn between him and Oscar Wilde, if you can believe it.

Indeed. Hayha would have been a great choice as well but anyway you shape it those are some very nice Demotivators sir.

*holds up jar*

This is not the epic jar. This is a different jar. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Stuff goes in here when bad jokes are made.

...Oh, godamnit.

*Pours in entire life savings*

Anyway, Exalted stuff. I'm not sure if Golentan already posted them in the last thread, but I do know I just had to put the first one in for the Final Fantasy players.

Hayha certainly killed a lot of people, but did he have the only confirmed kill with a bow and arrow? Did he storm a beach with a claymore? Did he march into mortar fire while playing bagpipes?

I've never understood occultists' fascination with exotic clothing....

[Mordokai]

I imagine the answer to all three of those questions is "no", though I can't say for sure However, stealth is always more badass for me than showing-off, which is basically what Jack Churchill was.

Mind you, I know both of them only from Cracked article, so I could be off by a mile. I don't think that's the case and what I said still holds. For the same reason, I prefer playing stealth games to the FPS's.

[Admiral Harkov]

Greatest badass is some Spanish guy, he stealthed all through the Spanish Civil War...

... under his kitchen's sink.

It's hard to choose. Both are really badass. But given the odds of each army I'd say Hayha edges it.

All of what I mentioned was from his wikipedia article, so I can't vouch for its accuracy.

I don't think Jack Churchill was a showoff so much as bat-$#%^ insane.

I'm sorry, but I don't have any demotivators right now. Maybe I can come up with a few Pathfinder Fighter Archetype things. Standby.

[Mordokai]

I don't think Jack Churchill was a showoff so much as bat-$#%^ insane.

Can't we just have a little bit of both? Plus, if we are really going for sheer badass factor, can Jack claim surviving after being shot to the face? Again, going by Cracked, so I can't vouch for accuracy as well, but if it's true, it's pretty darn impressive.

As for my own demotivators... I still plan on doing Bayonetta series one day, but right now, I don't have my copy on hand and I don't know how to take screenshots on PS3 anyway. When both of those problems are fixed, I'll get to doing something.

And Mookie basically just took an attractive girl and put tusks on her anyway.

[PersonMan]

And Mookie basically just took an attractive girl and put tusks on her anyway.

Although it's interesting that, as time passes and her tusks have less of an effect on her self-image, they get smaller. Then again, nobody mentions it in-world, so it might just be a change of art style.

[Admiral Harkov]

What is the definition of charisma?. Beauty AND strength of personality.

What would you say is someone who crumbles at any critic or negative reaction?. Someone that's become of quite fragile personality.

Therefore: by first half, high charisma, but by the second, abyssmal. A beautiful woman whose personality strength is so low that her charisma is in the negative modifiers due to the second (at least very far lower what beauty alone would dictate).

Therefore: charisma, is not about looks. It can be high due to being of a bright personality despite mediocre looks, yes, and it can be very low because of a very small personality despite good looks. It works both ways, not just the high score. That's the point. She's beautiful, yet her charisma was so very low.

(Though she's evolved into solving the second so she would have now a very high charisma, say 24).

(And a nitpick with the comic: okay, she's not so insecure about herself, but the tusks should still invoke the Ohmygodanorcsaveyourself to those who don't know her. It was the tusks that scared people before she had a chance to show her goodness, right?. So that shouldn't be away with her newfound strength. But then there's not tiring the readers with the same reactions).

(I've always thought the ability relevant to resist intimidation should be charisma, not wisdom. Wisdom to sense motive, but charisma to hells I won't bend under any kind of pressure.).

[Traab]

The tusks NEVER scared anyone. They were nothing but a topic for mockery and scorn. It was always more like, "omgtusksbwahahahahaha!" And I can actually understand why mookie stopped doing that reaction after the first time. Being chased out of every town and village they wander into due to the rabble gathering to point and laugh and throw rocks would get boring fast, and keep the storyline from moving at even the glacial pace it has now.

While it really looks the part, it appears that it is not. As far as I can tell, it was an entry to "Steve's Next Top Module Contest" on Something Awful.

honestly though it's the best example for the question posed: Luna is very pretty, but has of a cha score of -300 due to her personalit, or rather lack there-of.

His real first name was Edward, actually. But still Crowley, which is just lucky, I guess. I couldn't become an occultist with my name.

You sir win an internet. And did you come up with the comment for chaotic evil or did you get it from the show or somewhere else?

Only thing I don't agree with is the lack of Henry or Potter! (And Trapper!!!)
