The first picture is not the picture from 1st edition Monster Manual, but descipts a similar looking kobold as that picture (scaly skin and doglike face). The second picture is from early in 2nd edition's lifespan, I believe, before later art making them look like the 3rd picture.

2nd pic is 2e Monstrous Compendium Vol. 1

1st is from an early 1e module.

I'm about to start a game and the party is currently Monk, Cleric (Tempest) and Paladin. What would be a good class to take to balance the party out? Everybody else is pretty much exclusively a melee hitter.

Unfortunately none of my games ever got past level 5 because the DM kept restarting the campaign because he didn't like his setting.

Wizard or Bard for control/buffing

You could potentially be a twin-haste bot and play sorc, but why waste time?

You're right.
They should fly on tanks instead

And also be cute girls, but that goes without saying.

>>55225478
It would still look stupid. Like, I can ignore it when I'm reading the story, but I'd be totally unable to watich it on a screen. Hell, just make them fly through their own power.

I mean. I wonder if the jumpmakers have love life irl.

They don't strike as the type.

So, some days ago I began to post a small story, but had to cut it short due to work-related things. I have the first part finished, and I spellchecked it a little bit. So I will be posting the whole thing. It is not very long, hope you like it!

It seemed a formal letter. Maybe the most formal letter that grazed that sub-spire in the last 400 years, since its foundation. It was made from proper paper, which in that word was a luxury, and had a red wax seal. The size of the letter looked odd, as it made for bigger hands.
That day, Aldous Orwellus was returning home after his normal 16-hour shift. He was a teacher in a nearby school, 60 levels down. He knew that half the juves there would end joining a gang in the next 5 years, and that 1 every 4 would be dead in the next 10, but that didn’t deter him of trying to teach a little bit of the most basic stuff. The serfs of the God-Emperor should at least know how to read a damn data-slate.
He didn’t expect a ministrorum adept waiting for him home, as he didn’t expect the letter.
Once he opened it, his doubts weren’t still resolved. He had more than before, in fact.

“To the attention of Aldous Orwellus, descendant of Linus Orwellus, descendant of Freyer Orwellus, descendant of Janus Orwellus,
I am Captain Mathias Terruel, on board of the battle-barge “Fury of the Stars”, which stationed in your planet two cycles ago, and awaits reconditioning before our next warp jump.
It seems you are the last member alive of the Orwell family, and one of my passengers has asked permission to visit you. Strange as it is, it seems their brethren have a tradition of doing just that.
I would advise you to allow his request, as being a guest of one of the angels of the Emperor is probably the highest service you will do in your life, but he has repeatedly insisted that you should do it of your own volition as he “does not want to be a burden”.

I expect your answer by tomorrow. My messenger will come pick it up.

Tought of the day: A questioning servant is more dangerous than an ignorant heretic.

You could make it score based, possibly with a hidden scoring goal (i.e. your player draws a card at the beginning that tells him what gives him score, what goals he has, etc.).

>>55225222
Yes, that's one idea, but not sure what should be the end condition.

>>55225347
Time, just have it be a "who scores most in 5 years" thing.

Could pull an Armello with the end being "when the king dies" but it's possible to assassinate him to force it earlier. Especially fun with hidden points if you think you are winning, but your assassination actually gives the victory to another player.

>>55225005
Depends on how deep, what angle, and which shoulder. Check diagrams for artery placements, because there are some major arteries in the shoulders. I don't remember its name, but there's an artery deep in the left should that, if cut, will make you bleed out in less than a minute.

>>55225005
This shitty articulation is so intricate it's a pain in the ass to heal, so it usually heals wrong.
If you survive the fight, your arm is probably permanently messed up at least regarding mobility.

>>55225037
But adding to this. Generally, injuries to the shoulder aren't terribly serious. There's no vital organs there, so you only have to worry about bloodloss or infection. So long as major arteries are missed and the wound is cleaned/treated fairly quickly, shoulder injuries aren't that threatening.

However, there's a lot of muscle there. So if the wound doesn't heal right, it could impair motor function in that should and arm later on.

You have my attention

Put your dudes into rhinos and lurch them forwards.
Don't forget to move into cover if possible.
HQ characters are great.

A coworker of mine is. It took a brief hiatus as their GM got deployed, but he should be coming back soon and from the stories he's told me it sounds hilarious.

>>55223932
Personally though no, as I never got into DBZ as a kid and really can't get into it as an adult.

Ok, that's quite a reaction, but I don't get it.

Nothing like a shameless self bump. Anyone?

Having only played a few sessions at best, take my feedback with a grain of salt.

I like the system and setting *a lot* very dark, but not too dark and it has (forgive the comparison) a very Dark Souls feel especially with the corruption and stuff. They take a lot of time describing the setting and the different peoples in detail so that a GM can run it with the proper feeling. I heartily recommend Wardruna as background music.

The system itself is pretty good and fairly balanced, you can make mages who are good with a spear, berserkers who stave off corruption, rangers who know the wild a little *too well* and more, my only dislike is that it's d20 based, but it's d20 roll under so it's enjoyable. IF you want more info/storytime/books feel fee to ask about specifics, I'd be happy to share, I love Symbaroum and hope that it gets more appreciation.

>(forgive the comparison) a very Dark Souls feel
I actually love Dark Souls, so nothing to forgive here. Thanks for feedback. I'm about to start reading through the corebook. Any expansions worth checking out before the first session, or should I just go with core only for the fist time? Also, what kind of stories is the setting suitable for? Is it all just grimdark horroresque adventures the artworks seem to suggest, or do more "usual" fantasy quests also work?

Cancer mage

Cancer mage.

>>55222996
Cancer mage is literally that, but its also completely broken

>>55222690
Atomic Highway and Barbarians of Lemuria are fairly easy to learn and are pretty fun system

You could go even something simpler like Lasers and Feelings or Everybody is John.
