I would, but homosexuals would be hunted for heresy and degeneracy so... ideally, no ****** mages because no ******* period. :heart:

Magic on dudes is acceptable if he's an eldritch knight donned on mithral armor.

But I still prefer warrior clerics leading the armies. :knight: :knight-cross:

Only if you're protestant. Magic can be fine, depending on the context. If it's a natural part of the fictional world or a learned discipline, it's fine, but if it's explicitly a result of demonic influence then it's not.

In some fantasy settings the "magic" is a learned science that can be controlled by mortals without any supernatural interference, so in these particular settings, "arcane magic" is kind of like real-life physics or chemistry, so hardly something that only women should have access to.

Now, "witchcraft" gained through antinatural occult ****, now THAT I see as something only bitter and hateful women may be willing to exploit.

You are basically describing the difference between Magia and Goetia. If you would like to read an incredibly long essay Tom Shippey (Tolkien scholar) wrote on how Lewis and Tolkien differentiated these, I have it here:

The knights chantries(?) are cool, and they have pegasi and the Green Knight. I've watched some games, and I think WaterMage hates them because they're good.
Except that restricting magic to only woman is why so many powerful magic casters ended on Mousillon becoming powerful vampires and necromancers. And why after thousands of cavalry charge, that region still a lawless area of Bretonnia ruled by vampire and necromancers.

If the Empire of Sigmar had a similar stupid law, it would lose 3/4 of the College patriarchs. Would lose Balthasar Gelt, a dude that made the empire Cannons and armor much more powerful that can transmute entire armiees. Needless to say, if the empire had such stupid law, that law wouldn't last, because the new Emperor(photo bellow) would fix it.

That dude, he is a monster he is so physically strong that is more powerful than most Orcs and so magical powerful that is more powerful than most Elves. In the empire, some colleges of magic like the Jade College, all about life and healing have a lot of woman. Other colleges mainly the Golden Order, about alchemy, engineering and etc have more man.

Yep. My guess. Will be a Dark Heresy game but another one with the same problem of RT.

Nope. They should be caged, restrained, under silver chains to lock them producing half elf children with high magical potential to the empire or for Merhcant Princes in Tilea. In a a quasy voluntary way where motherhood can prevent their execution by their crimes and reduce their sentence to a "house arrest" under strict vigillance.

Depends on the magic. I wouldn't say that a Celestial Wizard throwing a freaking meteor against orcs and zaping hellcannons out of existence is "woman-coded", nor that Balthasar Gelt working with engineers to make cannons deadlier, more accurate and powerful.

In D&D and Warhammer, the most powerful casters and hybrid, mage-warriors are all man.

Most deities that can do stuff like conjuring tsunamis, throwing lightning storms, etc were male. If a human mage is ghey by throwing lightning bolts, then Perun, Zeus, Thor, and TlΓ‘loc are all ghey.

In the case of Bretonnia, humans already have repeater firearms. In a few years, a single Tilean mercenary from Braganza's Besiegers will be able to, with a single gatling gun, devastate an entire cavalry regiment. Chivalry, horse charges, lances, swords, everything is weak compared to the power of magic and engineering. Bretonnia only didn't become an undead magocracy led by Mousillon warlocks, necromancers, and vampires because they have an elf deity's bathwater, which is a form of magic.

He is not human.

Either way, I have a thread to discuss Warhammer - The Old World ( viewtopic.php?p=241275-warhammer-the-ol ... ad#p241275 ), if anyone wanna discuss why Bretonnia sucks, lets go there. This is a OwlCat thread and OwlCat is not adapting Warhammer Fantasy.

That said, trying to bring the discussion back to 40k.

Would you guys who say that mages are ghey say this in front of Magnus the Red or Malcador?

BTW, anyone here who worships the big E, is worshiping the most powerful human Psyker.

Deal with it. Unless you are a Heretic, you are worshiping a male psyker.

Truly, the psy op against men has worked all too well if people believe magic and might has any right belonging to women. Yes, many ancient cultures commonly had fertility/womanly matron deities at their heads. Guess what happened to them? They were conquered by cultures that worshipped a fatherly God heading their pantheon. Not only is matriarchy a doomed political system, it is doomed in a religious context. The vikings went as far as they did precisely because they recognised the guiding hand of a father and not the resentful emotional gaze of the mother.

That's why women mages in classic literature tended to inherit their powers from demonic bargains, rituals, or deals with ancient mother deities that scorned the rise of man.
