We're dieing, anon.

I'm not very experienced with the game at all, but I like Long Night Scion.

Winter fey, cold magic, and teleporting are just stuff I like in general (not just in 4e, or just because of frostcheese)

This PP enhances all of those, making you a teleporting frost-explosion lord. Especially when 'locks can get at-will teleports.

LNS with Eladrin Knight is mad fun.

As for EDs, Thief of Legend? It's pretty based thematically, and it does give you a good stat boost.

>Was he a DMPC or PC?
He was a character in a show.

>>53447081
PC that everyone loved. Died due to some bad rolls but the GM wrote it in well and even gave him a nice cameo at the end of the campaign.

He was a PC. A combination of some poor decisions and terrible rolls did him in, and the player decided to do something completely different and rolled up a little girl princess for his new character.

>>53443104
Is use of dictionaries banned in your country or something?

>>53443104
scape isn't an english word. it's comes from the dutch version of -"ship". so think friendship or township. it denotes a state of being.

Depends on if you've earned enough of Slaanesh's praise.

>>53442900
She doesn't love you, she is a daemon

>>53442900

It depends, both on your own prowess and Slaanesh's favor, but either way you'll enjoy yourself during the act.

5c humans if thats one of the tribes
my ephara human tribal deck could use some better humans

>>53442298
I'm gonna do what I do every year.
Preorder one of each from a guy I know at 20% less than MSRP, so I won't have to worry when the price spikes for half of them.

Why does O-Kagachi have to be so bad? I get that it fits the Kamigawa theme of bad cards but jeez he's bad.

You've somehow convinced yourself that this is all a slippery-slope where Warhammer 40k will suddenly become all noblebright. That simply won't happen, my friend.

But have you considered that Eagle ordinary and TTS and other 'nicer' stuff that the community/fandom puts out is because people are bored of the grimdark?

Or rather, people are bored of GWs handling of the grim dark which has now become fatiguing and uninspired? Rape and gore can only be slapped into a bunch of books before you get desensitized to it.

We want good grimdark. Black Mirror/Twilight Zone-esque existential horror is what I want out of a Warhammer 40k book.

I want the book where people actually talk about Exterminatus. Just the whole book, 500 pages of a bunch of people in ONE room, and they scream it out '12 Angry Men' style. No violence or gore. Just pure moral justification for the purging of billions.

I want the book where every chapter is a day in the life of an Administratum scribe doing his daily commute and then toiling for hours at his desk. As time passes, the chapters become increasingly different and we the reader piece together that his coworkers and his neighbours are slowly disappearing and then getting infected by genestealers. But he never notices the entire book because he's become a slave to the routine.


But every fucking book I pick up goes as:

>Marines have job.
>Do their job, but get existential. Is job all there is? Is life more than just the job?
>Realize something is wrong.
>Keep doing job because everything is grim dark and not doing job is heresy.
>Realize too late that the job actually was part of a chain of events too complex to comprehend, and that by doing said job has now set plans into motion.
>Things steamroll out of control even as the Marine tries their best.
> Everyone dies except for the Marine.
> Life is suffering.

The most recent Deathwatch audiodrama has the exact plot I mentioned. ITS SO BORING.

>>53441759
The Dark Imperium is still Grimdark "Everything's fucked", the rampant corruption and general assholery within the Imperium hasn't gone away, the galactic situation is objectively worse than before. And no one's asking to make it 'nice'. They still want the Dark Eldar to be edgy space rapists, they still want comissars to rule by fear, they still want the galaxy to be one minute away from annhilitation. But the previous Grimdark was overbearingly so, there was no moments of humour outside the Orks and occasionally Trazyn, any victory for heroic characters was phyyric at best and nothing good would ever happen. It was too Grimdark to be emotionally invested in, because why care if the result was always going to be negative? The new tone means the stakes actually matter, because the Heroic characters could get a win thats fully a win.

And the entire franchise is strongly influenced by 2000ad, which is readily able to balance the dark and gritty in series like Judge Dredd and legitimately heroic and light hearted characters in stuff like Nikolai Dante, all while mantaining a strong sense of humour throughout.

I'm going to post funny warhammer comics.

Gotta sell those new models somehow

>>53441595
So basically old marine commanders will still be t4 and shit. Great.

>>53441769
Yeah but it sounds like the new guys don't get access to terminator or artificer armour

So apparently the "adventurers guide" redid some shit like the lore warden. Is any of it any good? Does anyone have screencaps of it?

>>53441550
I believe the rumor is that pretty much all of the adventurers guide reworks are crap. The lore warden in particular is a world of unnecessary nerfs.

>tyranids vs orcs

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Octarius_War

Fucking horrible

>>53441385

> Imperium

Really good at destroying weaponry. Tyranid organisms secrete spores that cause machinery and weaponry to break down. They also focus on spewing acid, and otherwise making the environment extremely hostile.

> Eldar

Eldar are fast, stealthy and psychic. Higher-than-normal proportion of psychic Tyranid organisms, or the ability to disrupt psyker abilities - extremely powerful Hive-Mind conduits, or a pronounced Shadow in the Warp.

Also, excellent peripheral vision and danger-sense. The Hive-Mind is focused on seeing them coming.

> Chaos

Good at doing damage. Chaos tends to either be really tough, or have really large numbers of soldiers. But paradoxically, Chaos is so chaotic it's impossible to properly 'optimize'.

How the fuck do you deal with daemons, who can be literally anything?

Evard's Black Tentacles should give bonuses against women

I want to start DMing 5e, currently trying to understand how to balance it. My last DM has basically redone and expanded 3.5e to his own liking, including HP/BAB/class features. I have restricted some stuff to players, like multiclassing, Magic Initiate, fixed Crossbow Expert and Magical Secrets, read through some grapple and Angry DM monster building guides… getting a feeling that I'll still have to work with the system for a couple months and build a dozen characters myself before getting a mediocre grasp on it in terms of all class (features) level balance.

Am I overthinking? How long did you work with 5e before launching and finishing your first successful campaign using it?

A good retirement with the only People in the World you wouldn't harm.

Kinda like main character of Hitman 2 or even 5 if he wasn't a killer autist above all.

Shit man, be good old lawfull evil and create your own ork/elf/whatever fascist state and be the charismatic dictator and have the others suprised when the next paladin vomits when he uses "detect evil" on you.

>>53440331
In my game world every dragon can shapeshift into a human/demi-human/humanoid form. Only one though, essentially a human/demi-human/humanoid version of themselves
The process is painful and has a chance to give them amnesia, making them forget they were ever a dragon and thinking they are just some random guy
This was the background of one of my players characters, he was a gold dragon who went human for a bit and had to rediscover his draconic past

Kobolds are basically little draconic lizards, and always show up a lot in my games.
