Peak D&D 6e (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Transcription:

A picture of a skinny female orc with the side of her head shaved. She wears an armless red dress and a black shawl, as well as matching red bracelets and a black choker with a gold heart at the front.

At the top of the image is the text "You may not like it, but this is what" in large bubble font

At the bottom of the image is a screenshot from the new D&D changelog, reading "• Orcs no longer have the Powerful Build feature."

And below that, the text "Peak 2024 D&D orc performance looks like" continues the bubble font from the top.

I wish the DnD/roleplaying community wasn't as hopelessly horny as it is.

This community is a bit like a teenager: moody, a bit horny, is better with animals.

Better add resentful to the list as well

Tbh I agree that "horny bard fuck dragon" memes are tiring. But I actually didn't read this meme as horny. I thought it was just "hey, you expect your orc to be buff and muscly, but NO! She lithe and slim!" Basically just poking fun at WotC for removing a feature called "powerful build".

That's a femboy, friend

Y'all might be hopelessly horny, but I'm very hopefully horny. I know how to dance.

DM: ... and of course Druids can learn Wild Shape, which allows them to transform into a beast that...

Player: STOP. I want to play that one. A druin or whatever.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I wish everything was more horny.

Inconvenience by snu-snu.

So, they’re like a different green version of an elf now?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

More like a taller version of a goblin

I've always been joking about playing an "orc poet" in Shadowrun as a way to do something totally sub optimal :) TIL that you can also play orc in D&D. And cute orcs can definitely change the world building

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah the PHB for D&D 5th edition only had half-orcs as a playable race, but they added a full orc race with the 2016 Volo's Guide to Monsters. idk about the 5e remaster though because I haven't played or been interested in following the news of D&D since about mid 2022. I just found this meme on [email protected] and thought it belonged here!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

God dammit I really need to finish and polish the mixed heritage homebrew doc I have. Sometimes I want to be a half-orc-half-gnome and the game should let me

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

the new 2024 rules allow for this. All half races/species have been removed, and instead you get to mix and match any two you want.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

They allow for it, but mechanically you still just pick one. The one I knocked together and mean to refine gives every species for traits, so a three-quarter-drow quarter-dwarf person is actually (slightly) mechanically different to a half-drow half-dwarf one

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Playing smart or charismatic orcs is totally fine in Shadowrun, it's not that suboptimal. You have to spend a bit more karma at the start to overcome the lower starting charisma, but it's not bad at all.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Um, actually, this is not a "bubble font". The font used in this meme is called "Impact", and it's commonly bundled with MS Office. ☝️🤓

The spoiler description says the orc is female but it's dross' Onyx, it's a male twink orc not a female

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Not a player nor a DM, so correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it basically photoshop human now? Grab a human, shift colors until skin is green...orc? :|

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Yes it is. It’s like they wanted to do what PF2.0 did with Ancestries but also do a really shitty job of it. It’s fine though; 3.5e, 5e, PF1.0, and PF2.0 are all still out there for anyone who wants to run better systems that are still “DND.”

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I'm actually a fan of the general change to races and background. It's more role play friendly because all the tables available to me are run like we're power gaming. Which of course makes us power game to stay alive. So now I can be whatever I want without worrying too much.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty hyped for DC20. I backed the Kickstarter... now I just need life to fuckin' chill long enough for me to pull a game together to test out the beta rules.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Isn't that twink a Goblin, tho?

Also, I'm ok with this, helps diffirentiate them from Goliaths. And Orcs were never potrayed as Goliath-sized.

Isn't that twink a Goblin, tho?

...No, it's too easy...
