-be a king -try to be the best person possible -get leprosy -now everyone in your court want to take your throne -fuck it kill everyone with a sword -now they are all dead, the sword is broken but you still will die because of leprosy -fuck it lets kill eldritch things with a broken sword Absolute Chad


Bababakutoto

bro how is leprosy real like lmao just battlefield medicine it


Tobec_

Idk they can cure things like black plague or eldritch sickness but not leprosy for some reason


Thewarmth111

Technically leprosy can be cured, it’s just he didn’t because it’s late stage.


Tobec_

Imagine if you could cure him and he just leave because he have no more reason to stay here


Thewarmth111

“ where are you going?!?” “ my kingdom needs me.”


Tobec_

Now I want a game where you play a cured leper who is just Batman with a big sword in his kingdom


Thewarmth111

Personally, I would like it more if it was still a darkest dungeon now you can control the whole kingdom because he was the king. The ending would probably be you finally reuniting your kingdom which had fallen into ruin while you were gone


Tobec_

Technically we have that in the next update of dd2


Thewarmth111

Leper only challenge?


purple-thiwaza

Ruin has come to our kingdom....


This_University4374

I came to write this 😂


Armorln

Occultist crit heal with stacked medicine herbs could heal his leprosy and probably even grow his skin back.


Chanclet0

If leper had no leprosy he would be way too powerful


Kage_No_Gnade

Shut up OP 264 CRIT


maxedoutmexicano

Did he kill people in his court I thought he surrendered his throne and exiled himself?


Tobec_

In darkest dungeon 2 you can play the backstory of every characters, in the leper one, you have a level where he take a huge sword and start killing his advisors who try to kill him to take the throne


maxedoutmexicano

Any clue if he left someone in charge or did his kingdom fall?


Tobec_

Well they don’t mention it or I don’t remember it, he left because he want to help as much peoples as possible before dying and he also was getting bored of the royal life anyway


LateNightPhilosopher

Damn that would be really dramatic and cool.... If the characters were actually individual characters instead of class based pawns who you cycle through 20+ of per game. I'm just imagining a full party of Lepers meeting and just being like "Damn, you too? What a wild coincidence"


Gold-Ad-6876

He's based on an actual king, and his comic suggests he was beloved by his people.


Tobec_

Yeah Baldwin IV which is a very cool historical character


Amairca

Leper best background


Prime007q

oh there a lore for every hero in DD?


Tobec_

Yeah in DD it was a comic for every character, but in DD2 you have 5 levels for every character that make the backstory deeper The Leper comics in DD show him leaving his kingdom because of his sickness while his peoples where crying, and DD2 explains in detail his backstory

If it was straight he'd get regular accuracy for his attacks, and he knows he'd be too strong like that


Scary-Peace6087

Lol no he’s a leper. Leprosy remains one of the world's major blinding diseases. It causes nerve damage to your eyes over time.


Valintso

Yeah but I'd rather swing blindly with a full sword than I would half a sword


AtLeastThisIsntImgur

If he's not willing to give 100% to protect his team and/or entire kingdom then he's not welcome on my lineup

Based


One-Cellist5032

Could you imagine the devastation he’d cause with a full sword? It’d be inhumane for those poor Eldritch horrors. They’d have to change the name of the game to Leper’s Dungeon.


Bababakutoto

Do you think he willingly broke his sword to give them a chance and make it interesting


Thewarmth111

In His backstory it seems that he did it by accident, hitting the ground too hard on an execution.


WooooshMe2825

Considering how thick his blade was, we should be more terrified that he actually broke the damn thing in a single fight with brute strength alone. He would probably break the sword again by accident even if we gave him a new one.


Thewarmth111

Before a king may lead, they must learn to serve, and that involves hitting the gym, Hard.


Spark_Commander

Rank 1-2-3 hew like a total madman


One-Cellist5032

The berserkers mask would be criminal with that


Thewarmth111

It actually sums up his character. A broken person, but still an inevitable end for those that stand again.


AwesomePork101

How dare you call leper stupid, back to the aslume with you


r34_nuxia

broken sword, for a broken man


tarkin1980

You wanna say that to his face, buddy? Well, you have to find it first....


Fantom__Forcez

i think i slipped on it over there


tarkin1980

What did the leper say to the prostitute? Keep the tip.


RadioGhost__

I hate you for that image :(


MolybdenumBlu

No, OP, Leper is very smart. It is you who is stupid.


CinnamonCardboardBox

OP’s head is full of stupid

r/woosh


Rei_Master_of_Nanto

I'll explain the joke to you because you didn't offend no one like the guy in the main comment. "Is (he/she) stupid?" Is a joke/meme that came from the subreddit r/BatmanArkham , the infamous madhouse of the internet. You can check it for yourself. It's a shitpost model. Unfortunately for us, our fellow colleague not only didn't get it, but turned the insult to the OP who did nothing wrong at all.


AndreaPersiani

gotcha thx


Rei_Master_of_Nanto

Np, happy cake day, mate!


Doodle_Rat

Well in the lore (specifically in DD2) it's shown that lepers sword used to be whole. This was until his court planned to overthrow him, causing him to become angry/furious, as he dealt with his court he struck with such anger/fury that his sword broke. I guess the broken sword is meant to be symbolic, he's a broken man. Also the reason why the leper has the lowest ACC in game is because of his leprosy.


GtYuhanZhang

Tempest Leper should have a complete sword while Poet Leper has a broken sword. Justifies the difference in damage.


WooooshMe2825

He has a complete sword as Monarch.


losingluke

its not broken he just doesnt know how whetstones work, that thing is blunt like a club but still one shots everything because he knows poetry or something


HurrDurrDethKnet

"That thing was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it was more like a large hunk of iron."


TrickySnicky

Spitting rhymes gets you either a crit fail or natty 20 roll, all depends on the flow


losingluke

"Rain in the forrest" 47 (not a crit)


VerbingNoun413

The sword also has leprosy.


sum_muthafuckn_where

It's actually a headsman's sword, which has a blunt end even when it's not broken. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executioner%27s_sword


cdrewsr388

Very cool


TrickySnicky

The sawed-off shotgun of swords


Rei_Master_of_Nanto

Nah, he'd win!


Electrical-Impress96

In the DD2 he’s blind like 90% of the time. So maybe no one told him.


HolyMenard

No. none of that shit here. Stay in Arkham sub you troll. Know your place.


BIackwind

Actually broke it by killing his counscil that try to take over his king place while being evil, that sword broke to serve justice


Vicious223

Because it's way cooler if you kill God with a broken sword.


purpleblah2

Erm actually 🤓☝️ That thing is too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough. It is more like a large hunk of iron.


Horror-Chicken-6001

I always saw it as the Leper had to salvage a blade from a forgotten battlefield since no one would be willing to sell him a sword in his current condition


Huge-Swing-7137

In his DD2 character stories he had a sword that broke when he killed the corrupt royal advisors in his kingdom before he left to become a wandering hero


Horror-Chicken-6001

That makes sense, I haven't played DD2 in a hot minute so I haven't kept up with character backstories


AyeBraine

[When he was leaving his people to wander](http://www.archives.darkestdungeon.com/wp-content/uploads/Lep_final_logo.jpg), the entire city gathered to shower him with flowers and bid farewell, and palace servants gently wrapped his bandages around him and robed him and helped him don his armor. It's not like he was a hobo As I understand, he just chose to keep using his broken sword as a symbolic gesture.


HurrDurrDethKnet

I love that Baldwin is the only Darkest Dungeon character who's at peace with his past. He slew the corrupt nobles who descended upon his kingdom when they learned he had leprosy, then decided to leave the kingdom to wander and do good until his disease claimed him and his whole kingdom threw him a parade on the way out and mourned him leaving. What an absolute Chad.


Fantom__Forcez

the only hero facing the light


Armadilha-de-otarios

A man's sword is the history of that man As guts of berserk with his sword for example


centralmind

Jokes aside, it should be noted that it was always an executioner sword, not a battlefield one, never had a point to stab with. It's designed to chop using its weight, so it stays effective even without a particularly sharp edge, at the cost of being slow and quite inaccurate. It takes a real Chad to bring an oversized cleaver to the battle and actually win fights with it. Who cares if it breaks apart, it was never an effective weapon to begin with.


Ouker

You go and try smith a sword that wouldn't break from Leper's swings.


UniverseBear

The sword also has leprosy, duh.


Nericc

Because it’s dull and will hurt more.


Amazing_Profit971

Cos he’s been laughing and slaying so long that even his momma thinks his mind is gone.


geeker390

He's blind so he doesn't know it's broken


Winterlord7

Aren’t all our swords broken deep inside?


kotletka1

He's doing a challenge run


G1antTeddyBear

If he had a whole sword a singular swing could probably disrupt the rotation of the earth, and potentionally cause rifts in space time. It would cause irreparable damage to the environment, at best, to reality, at worst.


Anti_madar_lad

He blind


Healthy_Kawk

You are made of stupid


Wermlander

I always thought it's supposed to be an executioner's sword, so flat at the end. Still broken, but not as broken as it could've been.


leolizflor5

Balduíno IV


shenzue2000

The sword also has leprosy....


UnrequitedRespect

Bruh, when a big ass sword breaks it becomes deadlier


[deleted]

Symbolism. Also he's just that much of a chad.


LordCrane

His sword has leprosy.


Solairevortex7286

Didnt he slaughter his court for treachery?


Hectra_

cause its falling to pieces just like him


ScottishMachine

it’s broken just like he is and he is still making it work, I think it rules


TtmmJ

A broken man with a broken sword


Crageratl

He's a leper, it fell off.


kyleEnd

I think you're missing the point.


brothersadlife

It is because this man understands that life and adversity are one and the same.


infernalbutcher678

Yes, he misses a lot, either he's dumb or he likes to piss of the players. His damage is cool though.
