Fat Necromancer

Given the character of Aumvor:

Aumvor the Undying (…) infamous (…) for his unmatched mastery over necromancy (…) Aumvor, in life, was a short and stocky Netherese human (…), with fat hands (…) After attaining lichdom, he grew more obese (…)

Why Necromancers must suffer the diktat of thinness ?

Why can’t we create fat Necromancer characters ?

Fat people have feelings you know ? :grinning:

If this is an attempt at humor, it falls really short.

If this is serious, go get yourself checked out.

Im not sure why people are obsessing with the body types of each class. Some streamers have even out right accused blizzard of fat shaming.

Listen, you dont have to be insecure in a game, also you dont need to validate the fat classes by asking for all of them to be fat. Just enjoy them for what they are.

Is that supposed to be an attack on short people?

Never piss off a midget, they can’t punch higher than your waist.

At least they’ll never be accused of “punching down”

Maybe because it’s thematic for the necromancer to be thin lol

Necromancers, Sorcerers and Rogues should be thin, because of their skills and agility. Who ever heard of a fat Necro? Heavy eating is not part of their lore. And a Rogue can’t be too agile if he’s fat! While Druids and Barbarians should be thick, because of their skills and brute force. I mean, you can’t realistically transform into a bear if you weigh 95 lbs, could you? Or a 95 lb Barbarian carrying two 2-hander axes?

finally, common sense thank you for playing D4

You are right and wrong

Druid shouldn’t be thick

He’s a nomadic character

He’s in tune with earth, therefor value what earth provides to him, so he doesn’t go in excess

Druid shouldn’t be strong because that’s the whole point of shape shifting, tapping in the strength of the bear.

Realisticly you can’t transform into a bear no matter your weight. It’s magic in a fantasy game so all realistic views are for the bin. It’s totaly fair to have problems with what is given and people should simply stop to argue against it and all the “fat” mimimi threads would die in hours.

In the diablo 2 lore druids are actually descendants from the barbarians, so looking the way they look in diablo 4 isn’t really that far fetched.

From thousand of years lol… they also dont have the same lifestyle lol

What are you talking about? The diablo lore timeline is not even several thousand years long. I highly recommend reading the books if you really wanna understand what druids actually are in the diablo lore.

According to the timeline, Diablo 1 took place in 1263 of the Sanctuary calendar, and Diablo 2 took place over the following two years. Diablo Immortal took place five years later, with Diablo 3 occurring 15 years after that. However, Diablo 4 is taking place a whopping 50 years after the events of Reaper of Souls.

-2300 : Recovered artifacts indicate that by this time, writing, art, and science had become an integral part of human culture. Modern scholars agree that this time marks the beginning of Kehjan, humanity’s first civilization.

meaning the creation of sanctuary dates even further than that

we are already at 3600 years ago mate lol

Are you assuming his height?

Not like they separated at the beginning of Sanctuary though.

It has likely been less than a millennia since the barbarian and druids have split.

At the [Túr Dúlra], the greatest of the Druid Colleges, stands the magnificent oak Glór-an-Fháidha. This tree is the most revered source of the Druids guidance and teachings. Under its branches, for centuries, the Druids hone not only their powerful arsenal of natural magic, but also the martial skills they have retained from their Barbarian forefathers.

Whether it has or hasn’t, they still follow the barbarian ways to some extent meaning they will still have a similar build.

not really, many animals, like bear, hibernate through overfeeding during winter…and when diablo IV starts it’s…yea snowing.

it’s not about “shouldn’t” or “should” be, rather it’s like it is :stuck_out_tongue:

i really don’t understand all the arguments about the characters weight , height etc… they are game’s characters.
