I'm a social justice cleric IRL

(But I'm still waiting for my spellcasting ability. Any time now.)

As a liberal Elder Scrolls fan, I had to become a social justice stealth archer.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like an appropriate build for taking out Flock cameras and Stingrays.

The mental image of critical hitting one with a lightning enchanted arrow excites me in many ways.

Hm, EMP arrowheads, as a SJ ~~engineer~~ smith I should get on that.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 46 points 2 months ago (1 children)

People do pick those classes, when there are riots you can see some social justice pyromancers for example.

[–] kichae@wanderingadventure.party 8 points 2 months ago

Those are Social Justice Alchemists, I think.

@rpgmemes the truth is probably that I'm a social justice commoner with an acolyte background

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I too am classless, but at least my alignment is Neutral Woke

Social justice bard singing protest songs

[–] artifex@piefed.social 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Was about to say, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson are definitely social justice bards. Probably the Beastie Boys too, but that just feels super weird for some reason.

[–] zaphodb2002@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

Punk bands too. Jello Biafra, Henry Rollins, and Tom Morello are certainly social justice bards.

Social Justice Dungeon Master checking in.

How's your Slay Gerrymander writing going?

I'm feeling very behind and hope someone else is scaffolding that too.

So was luigi (allegedly) a social justice ranger

Rogue because of sneak attack and cunning action.

Deep down we are all Social Justice Barbarians

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Trans rights are half-orc rights!

Anyone who disagrees will experience the special ability barbarians are best known for.

When I was in undergrad, I co-led a student homeless outreach program that would go out and hand out pb&js, bananas, water, etc. every week.

I was paying for supplies for the entire program out of my own pocket, so being a broke college student, I'd take regular bananas and mark them as the overripe ones at checkout, until I got caught a few times.

Maybe that qualifies as a social justice thief?

[–] emmanuelwald@deacon.social 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@papertowels @rpgmemes As a SJ Cleric, I have to say “no”. As Thomas Aquinas said:

> It is lawful for a man to succor his own need by means of another's property, by taking it either openly or secretly: nor is this properly speaking theft or robbery (SumTh, IIa-IIae, q.66, art.7, resp.)

Taking things for other people who actually need it is not theft, thus you were not a thief.

Ooh I am a social justice thief and agent of karma.

I used to deliver home medical equipment for a decade. Oxygen machines, hospital beds and the like.

I'd short the rich patient's supplies and give the always bitter and entitled fucks the oldest, loudest equipment, and give the extra and the nice, small, most portable and dependable equipment to the most destitute, who were always the nicest and unlike the patients in affluent towers would always offer me tips I'd always choose to decline.

When the rich fucks called to complain "their machine is too noisy" I'd always tell the management that explicitly told us to give the worst equipment to medicaid patients I gave them the best machine in my van, lol.

It wasn't much, but I'm very proud of that time in my life. Honestly I feel like I did more good in the world in that job than I did as a therapist. I made the lives of the elderly poor of the city I live in significantly easier and more manageable off the backs of the elderly wealthy, who often then went and private paid for their own brand new oxygen machines (that were the same models I'd given to their poor counterparts) anyway.

Ehem. I prefer social justice Rogue.

Ferreal. "Thief" is a slur, not a class.

I am a Social Justice Bardbarian.

That is not a typo. I multiclass a bard and barbarian. That is to say, I use my enemies skulls as bongos and play their ribcages like washboards and xylophones.

We probably need more social justice artificers to do SIGINT at protests and operate drones and such.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Also dont feel bad OP, in early editions Clerics couldn't cast until level 2

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I'm pretty sure that there are a few social justice necromancers floating about.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am definitely a social justice artificer.

I can't make up my mind on whether or not a social justice thief would be based.
