One does not care about combat bonuses when the servant berserker is summoned.

I swear, if I pick out one of the overpowered NPC wizards mentioned in the "spergy statistics block for a city" stuff in the 3.5 Forgotten Realms books, I would NEVER be found out. Seriously.

I get an extremely strong caster, and with only the barest description and no picture at all, I'd be all set.

There are level 18 wizards lording over towns in books like Unapproachable East, you know.

What about Rincewind as Caster?

>>21446009

Why have a caster that does nothing but bolt at any opportunity and can't cast the only spell they know without ending the world unless they cast it at the pre-ordained time?

Old Man Henderson should make for an awesome Archer. S Rank Noble Phantasm? The 60 pages Backstory of doom.

Best Saber.

His true identity is pretty obvious. But between the power of the force, a lightsaber that cuts through damn near anything, and the inherent bonuses of being a saber like magical resistance? I bet he would do pretty damn well.

That, and his Noble Phantasm probably blasts your planet into rubble.

DEATH STAR.

Besides, OP has forgotten that Fate servants gain strength based on their legend. So anyone who is so obscure no one knows about them will have a Noble Phantasm that couldn't break a glass window, much less harm another servant.

More famous = better.

>>21446150
Not a hard and fast rule, lest we forget Emiya Archer.

>>21446150
I think he'd need to be Rider to have access to that.

>>21446051
NP: Halfbrick in a Sock.

>>21446116

All the luck you need to live and win the day for someone else.

>>21446208
Really, think about: nothing really bad happened to Twoflower while he was with Rincewind. Then they split up, and a nobleman murders his wife.

>>21446189

If not the Death Star, then what? Vader doesn't have anything else that is noble phantasy worthy.

Unless you want to use his NP to just make him insanely hard to kill, like Berserker.

>>21446199
>Noble Phantasm: The Luggage

>>21446208
Well, you would likely survive. And it would be hilarious.

>>21446276
The Force would probably be his NP. Passive-type NPs aren't exactly uncommon.

Not sure what class this person would be. Archer?
Kudos to anybody who recognizes it.

>>21446261

So Rincewind never wins a fight, but so long as he and his Master are together they cannot lose.

And his NP is to use the one spell he knows, which does PLOT.

It would certainly be amusing to see him interact with Nasuverse magi. They would consider him an affront to the name of Caster.

>>21446321
like all wizards do.

>>21445935
Hercules, Cu Chulainn, Gilgamesh. Your move, faggot.

>>21446286

No no. The luggage isn't his NP. It isn't even one of his powers. It isn't even supposed to be a part of the Holy Grail War.

It shows up anyway. Because LUGGAGE.

>>21446346

Don't forget Iskander from Zero. They made him MANLY AS FUCK and KING OF THE BROS.

Rincwinds strengths are that he has EX Luck, he's the only caster with a A in agility, you get the Luggage as a freebie, and His Noble Phantasm explicitly does *PLOT*.

Isn't that the opposite of how it works? Aren't the more prominent figures the ones who have the best stats?

I assume finding one that's rather well known but not full blown famous would be best.

That being said, I think everyone posting animu girls would get facerolled because the sheer level of obscurity would make their servants weaker than herakles' pubic hair

Archer

>>21447272
Radd really has the bullshit hax pedigree of the Archer class. A charge up attack that effectively infinite in power would be a real boon of you got to use it.

It's mitigated someone by the fact that he can only take 4 hits ever. On the other hand, it means that, no matter the attack, it will only do one damage to Radd. And I can't imagine him having anything but an A in agility, so head be dodge as fuck.

File: 1352154944450.jpg-(Spoiler Image, 546 KB, 850x1178)

Now, my first thought for who I would summon was easy:
DOOMGUY
Berserker Class that's still capable of rational thought? RIP AND TEAR? BFG9000? Capable of running at retarded speeds while carrying enough weapons and ammo to outfit a squad? How could I not lose?

Then I remembered that my opponents would end up summoning Japanese bullshit that could probably eat a BFG9000 shot for breakfast. So I have a more...cunning plan.

>>21447404

Simon would be decent because there's a big TTGL following, and he's generic-looking enough (if you hide his goggles and drill-thing) that people wouldn't peg him for who he is.

Also, if they guessed TTGL, they'd probably think you picked Kamina anyway

Just make sure you don't use your noble phantasm too early

>>21447421
Assassin would probably make sense. Though I have no idea what a reasonable NP would be for her. Other than ritual completion... but assuming it works as guessed in the manwha, that's just not fair.

Of course they aren't, imagine if one of them caught on to the reality behind the Grail War (i.e. that the whole "wish" thing is a lie and it's really designed to make a tunnel to the Root of all Magic) you don't want people getting that secret out.

Noble Phantasm only works against Gnosis? I like your style anyway though.

Except Saber didn't die in her time when she made the deal. It's also the reason she can't go into spirit form unlike other servants. Pay attention.

>>21447606
But it was one super-being at the end, so that could reasonably be summoned, right?

So how recent does it have to be to qualify as pop culture?

I'd sooner picture her Noble Phantasm forcing immaterial servants into the 'real world'. That would be a nasty surprise.

>>21447644

It's Vetinari. He's a perfect fit for Assassin specifically because his talent isn't in actual combat (though he is deceptively swift if called upon). He controls the Dark Clerks, and he can always use noble phantasm "Point Vimes At Target."

Like having a grumbling, tobacco-ridden, constantly knurded pocket-Berserker. Hilariously effective against trolls, politicians and eldritch conceptual demons!

>>21447421
Ma Gangryong
Good choice though

>>21448547

Not necessarily. Not small and unassuming enough. Nobby likes things that fit into his pocket and allows him lead time on pursuers - he wasn't able to steal those Burleigh & Stronginthearm spring-gonnes that the Assassins took care to ban on pain of a swift and unpleasant departure.

...though maybe that's more because easily concealed crossbows are less impressive than morningstars as big as he is...

It's showtime.

>>21448547
To even GET a Grail War going in Ankh-Morpork would effectively be impossible. You'd have Ridcully against the whole rubbish from the start on account of it doing way too much magic, you'd have Vetinari wanting the thing GONE before Ankh-Morpork became a crater in the ground or Great A'Tuin ceased to exist, which in turn would mean the City Watch would be on the loose, you'd probably draw the attention of the Dungeon Dimensions or the Auditors of Reality...

God, we'd probably get Death himself summoned during the whole mess. I have no idea how THAT would end.

Caster

Fuck the war, for I shall continue Bluebeard's most holy work, and spread the COOOOOOOOL of the holy flesh to all of the downtrodden. They shall embrace the glory of the eldritch blood or die

And this time, I'll make sure to make a horde of hidden mutated children instead of one giant eldritch abomination. Well at least till showdown. THEN mindrape and literal rape for everyone

>>21448662
That's an idea. Bunch of rogue wizards start a Grail war.

Then you play the whole thing from Vimes perspective as he arrests every last one of them.

>>21448652
Nope, NOW it's showtime.

>>21448662
Ridcully would cancel out a lot of it, but Ankh-Morpork's a city infested with plots, secret societies and conspiracies to overthrow Vetinari (most of them controlled by him, of course).

Some idiot's already managed to summon dragons into the city. Can you imagine the stupidity that'd result from trying to cast even a small invocation within Empirical Crescent?

>>21448673
>>21448673
>fuck I can seem to post any pics

Its Saya

>>21448703
And who would be the servants? Death and Rincewind are probably going to get summoned by default. Odds of Arturia herself getting summoned here would probably be a million to one, so we'd actually have a shot of getting a different Saber class servant.

>>21448753
>Ridcully grabs his crossbow and sets out to hunt the most dangerous game: Anime characters.

>>21448777
A Nac Mac Feegle has to be Berserker. Doesn't really matter which one now, does it?

And the worst thing is, there's a good chance you won't see him runnin' up yer trouser leg. Now don't that just hurt to think about?

It's like you don' t know how the Disc functions.

You just made it a sure thing, you idiot.

>>21448796
Seriously, that's like saying "Arturia's absolutely guaranteed to be summoned, and Young Sam'll be her master."

>>21448817

>>21448846
Rather appropriate, isn't it, that pulling up Vetinari as Assassin would derail the entire thread into "an Ankh-Morpork setting would be more awesome."

Caster Rincewind is accidentally summoned by normal Rincewind.

>>21448817
Oh god, Seiba working with the City Watch.

A thin trail of blood smeared on the cobblestones by the assisted-suicide victim:

>>21448936
Just one.

Luggage is Luggage.

...just don't ask how it manages to stick with both of them at once...

>>21448972
...Nobby Nobs.

>>21448936
I'd say 2- one as the "normal" luggage

and one as the first level of rincewind's NP

>>21448817
"I ask of you; Where is my cow?"

>>21448988
O_o

dare I ask... What class?

>>21449009
Monster.

>>21449009
Nobbs. Of course.

>>21449009
"Officially Human."

If Nobby's in the game, the whole grail system throws its metaphorical hands up in disgust.

>>21448988
On one hand, the Holy Grail is capable of summoning anyone.
On the other hand, it's Corporal Nobby Nobs, who might not even be human. Or a thing.
>>21449055
"Officially a Class"
>>21449000
The idea of Seiba reading "Where is my Cow" to Young Sam is adorable. I'd request a picture of it, but I know it would never happen.

>>21449055
So, we have:

Caster: Rincewind, because seriously.
Assassin: Death
Saber: Arthuria again, inexplicably.
Nobby: Human Being

We still need a few.

>>21448961
What the hell could future Rincewind be running from that is so scary he ended up travelling back in time?

>>21449009
>O_o

>>21449113

Cohen the Barbarian.

He fights with the servants and doesn't afraid of anything. Who his master is is a mystery.

spoilar: he has no master. He isn't a servant. He was just passing through and this looked like fun.

>>21449125
The possibility of being made Archchancellor.

Wouldn't YOU run?

>>21449142
That leaves a bigger question: How the hell did they off Ridcully?

>>21449137
>Implying Cohen isn't his own master.

>>21449125
A particularly large bug.
It's fucking rincewind here.

Granny Weatherwax. As witch, obviously. If we can't bend the class system, then berserker it is.
We can probably cast in Moist as Rider.

>>21449125
He cant say. Literally. If he mentions it, describes it, it will know where he is.

>>21449146
Potatoes as bait.

Garnished with more potatoes.

>>21449113
I nominate The Gonne as Archer and Bloody Stupid Johnson for Beserker.

>>21449113

Death is too OP for this. Why not Teatime for Assassin? That would be fun.

>>21449156

Clever bastards.

>>21449113
>Tourist: Twoflower.
>Bard: Vetinari

>>21449142
I like this explanation. He spends the whole war trying to convince younger Rincewind to give up being a wizard.

>>21449113


Caster: Rincewind, Summoner: Also Rincewind
Assassin: Death, Summoner: ???
Saber: Arthuria, Summoner: Young Sam
Nobby: Human Being Summoner: Claude Maximillian Overton Transpire Dibbler

Need:

Lancer
Archer
Berserker
Rider
(one of these removed for the entrance of the Nobby Class)

>>21449208
Death would be considered a rather major deity by the standards of the Grail system, wouldn't he? I don't think he'd be accessible.

This thread needs to be archived.

>>21449151
second this; moist as rider, possibly moist's girlfriend as the summoner? Or Groat, that'd work.

>>21449223
Not Death.

BILL DOOR

If we're talking pop culture my guess would be

>Assassin: Ezio/Solid Snake
>Caster: Gandalf/Dumbledore
>Beserker: Conan
>Saber: Zorro?
>Archer: Stumped for this one. Legolas?
>Rider: Mad Murdock

>>21449223
Mort then?

>>21449166
Berthold Stutley as the creator of the grail, obviously

>>21449208
Luggage is berserker

Death is summoned by his granddaughter, or rincewind

>>21449246
>BILL DOOR

Oh shit, I completely forgot about Bill Door. I think this works.

>>21449125
>"No, I don't WANT to be summoned. But odds are someone will say, 'I should summon that Rincewind chap, he was awfully good at not getting killed,' or I'll wind up stumbling into the wrong end of a ritual or falling through a hole in time or some such nonsense, so I might as well skip all that. But I don't WANT to be summoned."

>>21449246
YES. YES.
Or alternatively, Mort pre-conclusion.

>>21449263
Luggage can't be summoned, he's magic-proof.
The Librarian, on the other hand, would be a great Berserker.

>>21449264
The BBEG get's Bill Door while TRYING to summon Death.

>>21449263
You mean Cohen is our Berserker. We already are going to have 2 Luggages running around thanks to the two Rincewinds, do we need a THIRD ONE?

I'm voting Cohen summoned himself. As in he counts as both Master AND Servant.

>>21449208
Caster: Rincewind---- Summoner: Also Rincewind
Assassin: Bill Door---- Summoner: Susan?
Saber: Arthuria---- Summoner: Young Sam

Berserker
Rider: Moist (does the fact that he's had two angels mean he counts as dead?)

>>21449323
Didn't Cohen ride off to pillage the afterlife in the Last Hero?

>>21449324
What id they don't get Moist Von Lipvig?

What if they get Albert Spangler?

>>21449324
I want Detritus as... I don't know, Berserker?
Use a command spell to send him into a fridge or something and have him technologically steamroll his way to winning.
Or a golem of your choice as Servant.

>>21449354
Detritus is Archer, guys.

His Piecemaker is as famous as he is.

>>21449331
Yup. And being pulled out of the afterlife would leave him very buggered.
>>21449354
Detritus would better work as a Archer. PIECEMAKER

>>21449349
Yeah that's much better
NP poses a bit of a problem though

>>21449359
YES
but, not dead, unfortunately.

Vimes has to be the Lancer.

Vimes once stopped a war by arresting both sides, remember?

>>21449394
Which?

>>21449424
Jingo.

>>21449394
You aren't going to sup Sam Vimes through the experience of fighting his son, are you?

Candidates so far for Berserker:

librarian
nac mac feegle
weatherwax, for some reason
Luggage (would that give us three luggages, or still one? Simultaneously following two Rincewinds and someone else. Or another double summoning trick; but that'd be lame)
Wolfgang von Uberwald (not previously mentioned, but hardy and insane enough

Cohen was mentioned, but someone had the MUCH better idea that he just turns up and fights anyway, without even being summoned.

>>21449471
Out of those, I'd vote the Librarian. Most sane Berserker ever. Until someone calls him a monkey, whereupon he

>>21449468
>>21449471
Actually now I think about it, Vimes is a much better choice for berserker than anyone.

His son isn't a spirit, so... But yeah, that would be terrible

>>21449471
Libarian. He's an Orangutan..

>>21449471
I like the idea of using people who are actually dead (Except Rincewind because he's the Disc chew toy and Nobby because it's funny) that I would g with Wolfgang.

We are in dire need of some antagonists, here.

>>21449518
Gonne for Archer!

>>21449471
The HGW has some really shitty rules to play with, so I could see some duplication. I mean the fifth war had at least ten or eleven Servants out of seven.

>>21449518
That's the thing: The Grail only allows HEROES to be summoned. Even after it got corrupted, that only let ANTI-Heroes get summoned.
But this is the Discworld, so let us get our insane werewolf. Mad Enchancement Rank A?

But what would the REAL purpose of the Holy Grail be? Remember, the original was designed to function as a portal to the Root of All Magic; the wish thing was just a side effect.

>>21449544
Third War had 9 servants: Usual seven, plus another Saber, plus Avenger.

>>21449546
But what the grail defines as a hero is extremely subject to change. Remember that Gilgamesh planned on using the Grail to kill everyone on the planet, because the ones who survived deserved to survive. I mean I can see his reasoning, but I bet most of /tg/ would call that very evil.

>>21449546
This grail was built by Bloody Stupid Johnson. It started life as a birdbath. The Ritual started because someone bumped into it hard enough.

I summon Akinator as my Caster. Since he will be able to discern the identity of any enemy servant, and thus gain a tremendous advantage over them, I will be invincible.

>>21449546
See my next summary post

>>21449565
The odd thing was that it was a perfectly functional birdbath, up until that point.

>>21449565
This makes way too much sense.

>>21449596
It was an Empirical Crescent fountain. The fact that it was functioning normally was the unusual thing about it, up until that point.

Summary- a few liberties taken

Original Creator of the Grail (an instrument originally designed to dispense candy): Bloody Stupid Johnson

Caster: Rincewind---- Summoner: Also Rincewind
Assassin: Bill Door---- Summoner: Susan
Saber: Arthuria---- Summoner: Young Sam
Nobby: Human Being---- Summoner: CMOT Dibbler
Berserker: Wolfgang---- Summoner: Librarian (in that not dead, and also a wizard, of sorts)
Rider: Albert Spangler---- Summoner: (Moist?/his girlfriend?)
Archer: Detritus (not dead though)---- Summoner: ???

Need:

Lancer

>>21449565
damn, didn't see this when typing.

What was the grail originally desinged for?

>>21449640
>not dead though
Was that rule ever broken? So far as I recall Arthuria was a very special case in that she went out of her way to contract on her death bed, and that rule caused an attempt to summon Merlin to fail, because he never actually died.

>>21449674
yeah, but they were all past heroes, except for EMIYA who was a special case, being specially selected AND from another timeline.

If we can think of someone better, then worth it.

>>21449640
I Still say the Gonne would make a better Archer, simply because it's dead and available.

As for Rider, if we aren't planning to do some real The Dark Half shit with that, might I suggest the Queen of the Elves as an alternative?

Lancer I though was going to be hard. Do we know what weapon Tacticus used?

>>21449697
Emiya was also already dead, however. His contract with Akasha entered him into the Throne after his death. Arthuria was the only person who was involved in this ordeal while still alive, and it did cause problems.

>>21449697
The Gonne is the only other candidate I can think of.

Who ends up winning the War anyways? Might as well get that out of the way.

Lancer has to have E Luck. A Grail hero has to be dead.

Gentlemen, I present: Reg Shoe.

>>21449740
Nobby.

The Grail spits out the single most scrumptious piece of candy he ever tastes, along with some confetti.

File: 1352165322804.jpg-(11 KB, 204x204, 1350744023314.jpg)

He'd probably get killed off quickly but I don't give a shit. I'd summon him as Archer just for sheer badassery.

Has an arsenal of guns and that ability that FZ Lancer has that allows him to charm the bitches. Favored weapon is "Devastator" and when he runs of bubblegum he kicks everyone's ass.

>>21449754
>Reg
>His lance is that flag.

>>21449740
Nobby, Rincewind, or Arturia, leaning Arturia. Nobby because he's the underdog, Rincewind because Rincewind, and Arturia because she got summoned by Young Sam Vimes.
