You can't create calories that way, only transfer them. But if you have a skinny bard and a fat minotaur, it can work and also is definitely someone's fetish.

[–] GoodbyeBlueMonday@startrek.website 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Minotaurs, if anything like their brahman brethren, can get nutrition from all kinds of roughage that us puny primates can't. So while we're scrambling around for nuts and goodberries, they can make a meal of all the weeds sprouting in terrible soil, and the odd hay bale lying around to feed someone's horses.

TL;DR: They could feasibly turn what we consider indigestible garbage-plants into calorie-rich milk.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago

That's true and adds much-needed realism to my nurtured-by-a-minotaur fantasies.

[–] Zoboomafoo@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Especially if the minotaur is a dude

"I have nipples, Greg, could you milk me?"

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The dude minotaurs very much enjoy being milked.

3 days of fasting isn't a huge burden, especially for hardy adventuring types.

3 days without water? bring out the milk

[–] Rinox@feddit.it 32 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Mino-taur -> taurus -> bull

Hate to break it to you, but that's a different kind of "milk" then what you might be thinking of.

[–] sammytheman666@ttrpg.network 21 points 1 year ago

They said it was a bard. What's your point ? XD

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Protein is protein 💪

[–] Archpawn@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure in D&D they call both sexes minotaurs. Minobous would technically make more sense for a girl, but nobody knows what that means. And we're looking at etymology based on countries that probably don't exist in your setting.

When the furry RP server spills over into the tabletop session.

Hey, if everyone’s cool with it!

Cleric: Summons food from thin air with Create Food And Water.

Funnily enough, the only time I used that spell, it was to use the food for ammunition and to turn the water into napalm.

Don't cows need to be pregnant to lactate?

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 46 points 1 year ago

Bard can also fix that.

[–] Maultasche@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A male Minotaur can be miked anytime.

[–] sammytheman666@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

miked ? So like, getting a mike for a distrack ?

[–] Maultasche@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The fuck was my autocorrect doing there? Is miked even a word?

[–] sammytheman666@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

How about this : so a fan junped onto the stage to shout a love poem to the singer so the manager miked him for everyone to hear

[–] Aielman15@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Can the party's resident druid wildshape into a cow, eat some grass, get milked, and then turn back into a human?

My God, I'm asking questions that should never be answered.

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Can they become some giant beast and slough off their appendages for food? Does it disappear once they change back? What if it's already metabolized by then? How about they just make some goodberries instead.

[–] Archpawn@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't they have to give birth first?

[–] Aielman15@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If a person can alter its body composition to become an entirely different species, I don't think it would be a stretch to say that it can choose to become a member of that species that's able to produce milk.

For the same reason, in my world druids can choose the gender of the animal they become. You're a person and you're turning into a bear, and you can already choose to become a black, brown or white bear; there's no reason you couldn't choose if that bear has a dick or not, and I honestly don't care either way.

That being said, I was being sarcastic. Although it's not specified RAW, RAI, it would work just like any other magical transformation: anything that detaches from, is produced by or is separated from the "main" magical body, disappears after a short while. Iirc somewhere on Twitter or the Sage Advice there's confirmation of this (the context wasn't milk produced by a cow-shaped druid, of course, but venom extracted by a viper-shaped druid).

And if a druid asked to feed their party this way, or a party member asked the druid to do this (either with or without their consent) I wouldn't allow it because that's not something I (and probably someone else, too) would be comfortable with.

[–] Damaskox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I like the thought that you could choose for what purpose when you select the thing you transform into.
Is it for fighting, traveling, hiding, adventuring, reproduction, collecting materials off from etc

[–] GTG3000@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, if we're "um aktshually", wild shape doesn't last long enough for them to digest the grass and turn it into milk.

But if you have a druid with you, why don't you have goodberry?

[–] Jorgelino@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If we're on a campaign where survival is a thing we need to worry about i have to assume goodberry is banned.

[–] GTG3000@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

That's fair. You could also adjust it to consume it's material components, so that you need to forage for them.

Turn it from "hunger-b-gone" to "I have a few twigs of [uniquely special] mistletoe in case we all fuck up our survival rolls and really need food".

Not with that spirit you don't !

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Would a minotaur have breasts or an udder?

[–] sammytheman666@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Breasts. Because I'm a snitties fan.

Snakes with udders. You know you need it.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Here's an artist's interpretation, NSFW I guess

I promise this does not represent the manga as a whole, this is the most questionable frame in all of Dungeon Meshi

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a win-win.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"I have nipples, Gregator. Can you milk me?"

Is.. Is that a Rich Hall/QI reference I spy?

Also works if they have other mammal races, such as humans.
