I am quite feminine, yes. If someone's gonna make an assumption about my gender, they're likely going to assume female. It was always a bit of a surprise when they didn't.
I've never met him, so I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing a lot of it is just "tall haole without a military haircut" isn't a very common sight here.
Now, in college there was another tall skinny guy with long brown hair and a black coat. He didn't walk anything like me, but standing still we were easy to mistake.
Once I walked up to a drugstore counter and the clerk stared at me briefly, and partway through the transaction, he said, "This is going to sound strange, but you look exactly like my girlfriend. I mean, exactly. This is so weird. I mean, not weird, but..." And this wasn't some weird attempt at hitting on me, either. He was amazed.
Oh, I see. I was wondering if there were more to it than that which was going over my head. xD
My boyfriend theorizes that I'm a secret government project of clones deployed to combat the gay agenda, but it went terribly wrong. My old coworkers theorized that I was a robot.
I once asked a question in which I described how I had looked for some rules that covered a certain topic but couldn't find anything (this is D&D 5e btw)
and then I started getting downvotes and learned that what I was doing was basically a "research request" or something like that
it's a little fuzzy to me because it's been a while
I can't quite remember clearly
anyway, I'm working on a question now but I would like to avoid asking a bad question
so I'd like to hear your thoughts
Basically, my new question is something along the lines of "My DM and I were looking for a basis in the rules for how this one thing should work. We haven't found anything. Is there something in the rules that gives us a basis to work off of, or should my DM just make something up?"
of course, my question is a lot more specific than that, but that's the basic idea
"Research" is sometimes unpopular among certain individuals, if it's perceived as trivially easy to do, but the site itself doesn't have a problem with it so long as you've put some sort of effort into it. We're trying to get better at not judging that sort of thing.
I've got the impression that questions like mine sometimes cause some irritation. And on top of that, my question is going to be tagged with rules-as-written which I get the impression is a touchy subject sometimes
rules-as-written because my DM can come up with her own ruling, we just want to know if there is something in the rules that states that things work the way that I expect vs. the alternative
Asking for obscure rules that are somewhere one can't find is usually fine. We have a lot of people, mainly occasional users, who ask really basic things asking us to read the manual in their stead, and -that-'s bad.
It's a spectrum of opinion, and we don't exactly police downvoting, but your question won't get closed and people really ought to give you the benefit of the doubt.
"It should be noted that while any creature that breeds with a celestial may give birth to half-celestial offspring, only humanoids can give birth to aasimars."
"Non-human aasimars have the same statistics as human aasimars with the exception of size."
And it's a heavy metal album, the cover of which shows four guys dressed as a beholder, an aboleth, a dragon, and a purple worm, brooding in front of a brick wall.
I want to play an aasimar and was wondering why they always look like a human. An aasimar or a tiefling can also be a halfing or a gnome or whatever. My question is, are there any rules how to do an e.g. Aasimar Halfling? And if not, how do you solve this?
