I coped the Duncan video under the assumption it was Duncan, I've been bamboozled!

>Break Evil Mummy #1 out of his tomb.
>He starts chasing us.
>Throw some summons to slow him down
>He wastes them quickly enough to show that he's really dangerous.
>Keep trying to lure him to the teleporter
>He's too close to us for comfort
>Finally, our Cleric pulls out his holy symbol and tries to turn undead, hoping it'll at least stall him a bit
>Has several feats boosting it, one of it homebrewed allowing the use of multiple turning attempts to make a single big turn attempt. Burn them all on this one go.
>DM rolls
>Mummy disintegrates from the force of positive energy being directed at him
>DM looks at his notes for a moment, and then says"Well, you won't be able to lure him to [other mummy's] tomb now. He won't turn off the walls until he lapses into somnolence again. Do you want to timeskip for a few years when you can finally leave, or just call it an end to this group?

I'm voting for option three, of leave shitty game.

2/2

If it disintegrated, wouldn't the Magical wall go down?

Just wait, I'm sure GW will keep supporting this game. This is the first minigame they have sold out so fast and nuGW isnt retarded. No point of not milking the cow when there is clearly milk to be had from the playerbase.

Blood Axes can't get camo, but they do all get Stealth skills, so maybe there's something similar to it in there?

>Does your character have a substance abuse problem?

Yes, he's got a fever and it's quite severe. The only cure is more cowbell.

>>52513786
None of my characters have a drinking problem...it would hit to close to home.

How would /pfg/ feel about a game with Armor as DR, but you get to divy up your BAB among hit, damage and a dodge bonus to AC? Maybe something about metal armor giving a bonus on saves vs magic, like +1 for light, +2 medium, +4 heavy. Cold iton armor grants a save bonus equal to AC value (min. +1 over whatever it grants for weight category). Sound interesting or just retarded?

>>52512917
A dragon is not a human, therefore human values don't really apply.
The baby dragon is sentient, but it also a monster.
In my opinion killing a childlike dragon is very distasteful, but not evil or wrong.

>>52512968
>A dragon is not a human, therefore human values don't really apply.

There's a lot of nonhuman things in the game. Do you apply this logic to elves and dwarves as well?

>>52512917
That's actually why I never put true dragons in my low/mid-level games. For exactly that reason.

Well, plus it just seems a little stupid. How much glory is there to be gained by slaying a teenage dragon.

Fucking HELL, so it's a race against time to get things done properly instead of letting it all go to absolute shit. What is with people and their inability to make a happy ending. Yes it's Dark Souls, shit gets dark, but holy hell that's bleak.

Hey , if you don't want to answer my questions right now tell me so I'll stop bugging you. But
1.if you Fuse an item that can change forms with your power armor in the item import option in MCU part two is it stuck in one of those forms or how does it work?
2.the military package upgrade mentions warheads, how powerful are they and do they replenish?

Outside game stats intelligence is a very hard thing evaluate. Even today the definition of intelligence is still debated.

Point buy.
GURPS. GURPS with a bad/new GM.
Traveller and Marvel Superheroes are good. D&D starting 3e and FATAL are bad.

>>52512234
I prefer point buy.

Random rolling isn't bad, but it should be updated to more fair methods of random generation for current era games imo.

To be absolutely fair, I have started preferring stat-less, or at least stat-light systems lately. Stats are usually just numerical bonuses, which, in the grand scheme of things, just aren't really exciting, so arguing about their generation method is even less so.

Random systems are fine for short games or games that are more focused on story rather than mechanical rules combat. Something like MaidRPG is a great example for rolling stats in, because failing rolls is a good part of the fun in the system.

Point buy is great for mechanical rules combat or tightly designed systems. It doesn't make sense to roll stats in D&D 4e because the system is so tightly wound around the core mechanical crunch.

Personally I would rather not play mechanics-heavy systems. I feel like they get in the way of roleplaying a lot of the time. Generally speaking, I could go for either rolling or point-buy, but I'd prefer point-buy for longer campaigns and rolling for shorter ones or ones where stats didn't matter as much.

>>52512225
Because martials want to be challenged and actually roleplay. Mages want to solve every encounter in the game with a spell or two and then be praised for it.

Because both happen to play the same system while playing completely different characters.

What even is chaotic neutral?
Is it someone who no matter the situation only ever think about themselves disregarding the law or other people?

If that is the case then what is chaotic evil. Is it someone who does the same but also actively tries to hurt others?

I once saw someone describe the alignments like this:

Lawful: Rigid in their methods
Neutral: Flexible with their methods
Chaotic: Impulsive with their methods

Good: Cares for all people
Neutral: Cares for people close to them
Evil: Cares only for oneself

>>52511708
Not necessarily. Evil characters can love too.
I'd say:

-Lawful: Adheres to a strict code and/or sense of purpose
-Neutral: Has vague ethics, that may or may not be influenceable in the heat of the action.
-Chaotic: Prioritizes what it thinks/it believes it must do rather than stick to something.

-Good: Tries to prioritize the wellbeing of others over one's own goals, and/or said goals involve helping others rather than self-benefit:
-Neutral: Is either self-interested but will try and avoid hurting others as much as possible in the path toward said goals, or has a vaguely selfless goal that hurts others outside of the group the character is selfless towards when necessary.
-Evil: May have fundamentally selfish or selfless goals, but does not have an issue with hurting others while striving for said goals.

>>52511543
Example: Chaotic Neutral Barbarian Dudebro
He likes a honorable fight, he likes strong food, he likes pretty women, but first and foremost he is loyal to his bros (aka the party).

>this whole post

Have you tried not being autistic?

Evolutionary approach with DPR as fitness is probably a good one

>>52510576
A lot of gamebreaking stuff tends to come from shit you do before battle; creating minions, buffing yourself up, etc.

My approach would be to look for force multipliers; minions, damage multiplying buffs/feats, shit like that, then try to combine them.

>prophet dies
>moon changes colors
>sea god washes up on shore
>all of the elves die

>>52510525

> Major Cosmological Event: Number/color of sun(s)/moon(s) change, planetary auroras appear, constellations appear/disappear/change
> Major Geographical Event: Continent splits, new seas form, old seas drain, etc.
> Major Meteorological Event: Significant, long-term or permanent changes in weather patterns, such as century-long winters or droughts.
> Major Political Event: Massive continent-spanning governments form/collapse, significant rival nations end ancient war, significant reforms in average government systems for all nations
Major Technological Change: introduction of groundbreaking technology that causes a paradigm shift, ie. agriculture, metallurgy, gunpowder, steam engines
Major Magical Change: Significant alteration in the abundance, reliability or accessibility of magic and magical creatures.

Dragons going extinct is a good one I've seen.

Also discovery of the setting's "New World"

>>52510195
Well, that's not much to go on. In such situations I usually go for generic systems. Savage Worlds hits a good balance between complexity and easy of use for me. It's got rules for guns of different time periods, and is generally pretty good for running fantasy stuff.

>its combat I'm worried about

Well, in this case I've got another possible alternative, if you are okay with 0 simulation 100% gamism style class based tactical combat.

>>52510367
Stop shilling Strike!

Why does /tg/ keep shilling Strike!?

>>52510195
Savage Worlds and GURPS both offer powerful guns, the former being easier to hit with (which makes cover important) and the latter being, well, realistic. They're both decently in-depth, too, so melee combat will be fun, unlike D&D.

Both are good at handling social encounters.

Do you have any other needs?
