You are pulled into a Fate/Stay Night game where every servant is from pop culture, and the GM has a rule where if you find out a servant's true identity, you gain a massive bonus against them in combat. The players are encouraged to compete against one-another.

Because of this, picking someone obscure but powerful will give you an edge. /tg/, who do you pick? Go ahead and finger people you know, but don't cheat with reverse image searches, that's just mean.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

And you're too busy dealing with the wake of Vimes' straightforward devastation to notice the machinations around you...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Cohen (remember, he's not a servant, he just showed up) wouldn't make a wish, he'd just plunder the Grail.
Spangler would wish for the ability to order Vetinari around. (He would never use it, but still.)
Detritus? I have no idea.

Only Mrs. Cake could be bloodyminded enough to force an equally bloodyminded revolutionary to bend to her will.

And... Cuddy. Cuddy needs to return to the limelight, poor guy. He'll be Archer. Detritus summons him after an accident with a wizard's refrigerating spell. The Piecemaker gets an upgrade. And every Discworld fan sheds a few tears.

That's mostly because F/SN involved summoning heroes of ancient myth, we're summoning Discworld characters, who are not as high on the power scale.

Even so, we still have Bill Door and Seiba running around.

Queen o' Fairies (Rider) being summoned by Daft Wullie

Saber is fairly high on the Fate power scale, though. The only people in the fifth war you can definitely say were above her were Fake Assassin and Gilgamesh, one of which was not even a real person and the other was the ideal human according to the World, Akasha, and the Grail.

But no one knows who she is on the Disc.

I imagine there's one scene where she meets Carrot, they stop, look at one another for a bit, share a knowing nod, and part ways.

Seiba.

Until she trips and breaks it. Kiritsugu made her break it, she broke it twice, Shirou broke it a couple times, and the one time they actually did get it, Shirou used it on money. She actually has terrible luck.

It is at this point that the identity of the Grail as a candy dispensing machine is revealed.

Brutha as...

I dont know. What would Brutha be? Tortoise Rider? I feel like his memory would have more applicable applications. He would effectively win this game. It wouldnt be easy to find somebody he doesnt remember unless he has simply never heard of them.

>>21450791
What a coincidence, one of our servants is somebody who no one on the Disc has ever heard of!
>>
>>21450848
>>21450791
He would obviously be top tier summoner.

The candy is inedible because it's been sitting there for who knows how many days.
>>
>>21451108
One more plot twist: Saber would have wished for some candy anyways, because Young Sam wanted to have some.

>>21451168
