Traps

How do you detect if a magical object has a polymorph effect?

Don't put shit on until you've had someone check it for such. How is this a fucking question, are you retarded?

By not playing with a fetishistic GM. Or at least one that can contain himself.

>detect magic
>if it pings moderate transmutation or above, then probably yes

There you go, OP. Now take your fetishes and begone.

Detect Magic? An arcana check?

>turns romans into egyptians
interesting, I wonder what it would change others into, or if its always egyptian

>Roman
Jesus fuck, is it really so stealthy you've missed the whole joke of this sequence?
Check Ptolemaic dynasty and recall the most famous ruler out of it and how said ruler is usually depicted, despite being nothing like that, since, you know, Ptolemaic dynasty

>detect magic
You already know the object is magical, its a magic object, duh.

>arcana check
Why would a martial have high levels of that?

dude anyone before the middle ages was roman, that's just how the world was

>That spoiler
You know, I never even considered that to be meaningful for the strip, but holy shit, that makes perfect sense if you overthink it, instead of looking at those tits

You've managed to miss a pretty funny historical joke. Congrats.

>These magical bracers were an attempt by the people of Rome for forcibly assimilate other populations. Intended to be turned over to resistant communities as some manner of imperial compensation, the cursed bracelets would gradually condition the wearers into a roman mindset and even change their features until they appeared at least half-roman
>however, the cost of mass producing a cursed item was prohibitively expensive, even for the wealth of the Empire, and it's largely believed the prototypes were sabotaged by a caster in the Egyptian settlement that had been intended as a testbed. Rather than gradual, the changes were now almost instant, rather than turning someone into a half-roman they were turned into a full-blooded Egyptian of the opposite gender. And lastly the subject retained their mind in it's entirety, presumably to despair over the change.
>In retaliation the first and only known one cursed by this, a Centurion once named Vincentius ordered the entire settlement magically bombarded 'until the sands turn to glass and every record of this town stricken from the papers!'
>He was believed to have been punished for the reckless destruction of an otherwise perfectly lawabiding and tax-paying village by being prostituted among the generals of Rome.

>wasting time and money identifying

Put it on someone else. If it's cursed to the point you can't take it out, then it's probably harmful anyway.

Fuck it I'm cropping out everything except Chel and the chick LALALALALA IT'S NOT GAY

I'm not sure if it's entirely gay even with the dude. you're not turned on by the transformation nor any aspect of them having been male. You want to fuck the chick and that's it.

>you're not turned on by the transformation
Not him and I am. Literally my fetish.
But presence of fucking tg all over transformation scene means that I'm more likely to see grumpy dudes turning into hot chicks than anything else, and that's gay.

>Being retarded
A curse doesn't just go away because you take something off. It's a curse and you're stuck with it until you waste even more time and money to get rid of it.

Get a detect magic spell, then ritual cast it you retard. Hell if you have a decent DM, you might just be able to roll Arcana.

You argue the body is just an object of attraction and the mind/essence/what have you inside doesnt matter? That as long as they are female bodied its not gay.
So, to take this in a scifi direction, if its a males brain or memory down loaded into a "female" chassis it isnt gay either?

>Why would a martial have high levels of that?

Doesn't matter. If you're playing d20, you're wrong for playing a martial to begin with.

>tg on /tg
>egyptian sloots
Cool, but post that shit on /d/

If we get to the point where minds can easily be transferred from one chassis to another, then the idea of being one gender ceases to exist. I mean, everyone could theoretically be anything they want.

Colour me gay then user, the path towards is also my fetish, and the result just the cherry on top.
No need to hide your feelings. Revel in them.

That's why you put in on someone else, retard. If it's good, you take it back, if it's cursed, jokes on them.

No. It literally describes physical attraction. You can be attracted to a photograph or statue of a person, things that have no mind at all. You are attracted to the physical shape of the sex, whether you connect with them emotionally is a different thing entirely. A lot of it is arbitrary and loose enough that defining it as "gay or not gay" is kind of fucking stupid.

In the scenario you described the concept has no bearing at all and potentially neither would gender.

Veeky Forums is pretty much sfw/d/.

hes using this thread as a thinly veiled way of posting fetish crap

dont know how you dont see that but ok

Not him but personally I prefer the slow burn of everything that comes after. You could have the story start right after the end, long before the beginning, or draw out the transformation how you want, but I like the reactions and consequences more than the transformation itself.

The best answer to a fetish thread is to take it as seriously and autistically as possible.

>put item on someone else
>said item turns out to be beneficial and is bugfuck levels of powerful
>wearer doesn't want to return it because you forced it on them like a dick and now they're end game tier strong
>they proceed to push the party's shit in when forced on the issue

Now what retard? You potentially end up creating yet another problem because you're too much of a dwarven Jew to let go of a coin or two in order to figure out what you've got.

>Why would a martial have high levels of that?
Because knowledge of magic in a fantasy setting is like knowledge of physics in reality. Even if you have no intention of ever using it professionally, it's too useful to be ignorant of. Any adult human in the real world over the age of 20 who doesn't understand basic applied physics/engineering like 'how a car engine works', or 'basic safety precautions with hazardous materials' is a subhuman retard and should be euthanized immediately.

(I just had this arguement with a coworker and got him fired because fuckwit didn't bother to check the safety warnings on cleaning chemicals before using them, and nearly got the whole building locked down, big N/B/C scare, homeland security shows up. And it was easy to figure out what happened, because I didn't stop shouting at him for it until they restrained me and forced an oxygen mask on to stop my from coughing up what was left of my lungs. All of which could have been avoided if he'd have READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and paid attention in MIDDLE SCHOOL CHEMISTRY when they made it very clear: NEVER MIX COMPOUNDS UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS IN THEM, NEVER MIX ACIDS AND BASES, IF A FORMULA IS CONCENTRATED DILUTE IT WITH CLEAN WATER. Basic shit everyone should know.)

Basic shit everyone should know. And if a 'martial' expects to survive long in a universe run by magic, he damned well better be smart enough to learn the basics.
>9 basic types of magic with some small overlap between them.
>If you don't know what it does, don't touch it.
>Do not touch any unknown magical object directly with bare flesh, a pair of forge tongs work best.
>Lead can block magics that let wizards spy on people.
>Werewolves don't like silver
>Fairies don't like iron and can't lie, but can trick you with weird wordings

Simple, basic stuff everyone should know by the time they're an adult, no matter what their profession.

Oh so you only play in games where curses come from shit items, so you're retarded and have a poor choice in games as well. My condolences

I feel your pain in dealing with idiots around shit that can easily kill you.

I still don't get it

Cleopatra was most likely a homely Greek woman, not an ethnically Egyptian sexpot.

I'd fuck her anyway

Mmm... gotta love that transformation.

>work cleanup for chemical substances

I have never wanted to murder another man in my life until that day. I can't imagine the look on my face, I just remember seeing plenty of colors. Whatever it was it froze him the fuck up. I accidentally tore his shirt while we were waiting for the squad to take care of it. Jesus.

bruh, chill, just pour some water on it and you be good to go.

No, when it's shit like that we have to call a bomb squad. Policy. Still, the number one rule is "if you do not know what something is, do not touch it" and the dickbag was waving it around like a magic wand.

I'd flood that river delta with fertile seed

Wasting a perfectly good magic item by using it without testing it first.


Even cursed items are worth insane amounts money, you filthy, ignorant, inbred, sheep molesting peasant.

>pay someone to identify
>he realizes it's OP item
>wears it and kills you and the party for asking to have it back
what now you retard?

Back in the old days we were just /d/ without the dickgirl spam.

Sometimes it was annoying, sometimes we'd just randomly post Veeky Forums related porn while discussing something else entirely.

Are you saying I shouldn't introduce wall butt mimics?

Rolled 2 (1d20)

Now /aco/ has that distinction. Then again, I think /aco/ is just /d/ that allows posting of normal lewds as well.

>not putting on anything and everything immediately when you get it
>not selling creepy shit you found in the lich's lair to random peasants for a copper piece


Learn to walk on the wild side

I mean, that was basically the reasoning for 4e giving +1/2 level to all skills. The wizard is going to have to learn to move that pasty ass of his eventually and everyone will pick up a little knowledge about everything as they adventure as adventurers deal with basically everything to some extent.
