No one can survive the touch of the warp unscathed. Ergo, the Emperor is a heretic.

Leandros did nothing wrong.

Maid RPG.

Beyond that? Literally anything with a combat system you enjoy and mechanics that reward teamwork.

>tradtional combat maids

Wait wait, what's an irregular combat maid?

>>52457658
well, i'm aware of Maid RPG, but i feel like it's more about crazy/comfy shenanigans that happens in the mansion, even though you technically can have an ex-military maid in there.

>>52457687
that's how i call them because maids as of now in anime media tend to be magical, i.e using magic instead of traditional firearms

Personally, with your concept, I'd say fuck the BBEG and go full wolfman apocalypse. Like a zombie apocalypse but with scarier, hairier zombies.

>>52457570
Yeah, but these guy's are sneakier.
And literally anyone could be one.
The only surefire way to tell is once a month, and that's also when they're at their most dangerous.
I'm just a little worried that, even as the BBEG itself, they mat be a bit to dangerous.
Though I guess it could potentially work in a more grimdark setting.

Give them some classic folktale rules that keep them in check:
Can't cross still water
Warded away by a type of flower
If you throw a chicken at them they have to stop and count the feathers.
Weak to an iron stoked in fire
They have to fully circle holy ground nine times before entering.
The vice thing, make it an obsessive absolute, if it's there the monster has to partake. That way the players can keep one smoking or gambling, etc.
Their true self can be revealed in a reflection and which then tries to spiritually kill its corrupted self, so they avoid mirrors.

I like them all chained in a basement.

The constant feuding is no longer useful or possible in a modern setting with huge centralized states so instead all the former feudal conflicts between rival houses are now corporate feuding between enemy corporations.

In practice its just a bunch of Queen Bee professional woman trying to sexually embarrass each other or abuse their secretaries.

Where are the logs, Vult?!

Second for Amber Scott has a gimp fetish.

Third for Nodachi-using Oni-Spawn Tiefling Ordained Defender Zweihander Sentinel Warder from Brevoy!

...Well?

You have my partial attention.

You don't just say that we get story time then leave us hanging for an hour.

GET ON WITH IT!

Yes.

He couldn't even beat my character in a fight.

>>52455996
Easily

>>52455780
Okay, so what, it bypasses AC, does sneak attacks, and high chance of crit?

>>52455780
If I were to run this thing in 5e, I would make it a special encounter. First it would cast a spell to hinder the party's movement, and it would slowly advance on them, shrugging off attacks they throw at it with its huge HP pool and moderate AC, and I'd probably give it proficiency in all saving throws, too.

Once it reaches a PC, it would stab with its knife for enormous damage. I'm talking fucking huge damage, like 10d6+str or some shit like that. Give it a moderate or high attack bonus, a single attack, and enough damage to just fucking annihilate a PC.

If you don't want to give it some kind of movement-hindering ability, then have the party be otherwise trapped and forced to deal with it. The whole point of tonberries is to terrify you with their slow but inexorable advance and the desperate damage race to kill it before it can stab someone.

Ask your GM.

>>52455168
This guy is right, but as long as this is a thought experiment, I imagine it would take weeks of verbal abuse and manipulation, and be much darker than most people realize. Typically, charisma checks can't convince someone to do something they don't want to do, unless it sounds reasonable.

>>52455763
This, it would be a process. You would have to figure out there week spot, and slowly apply pressure to it until you break there psyche.

Also this likely will involve actions outside of directly interacting with them. Make their lover cheat on them, lose their job/source of income, if possible disprove their fundamental belief system. In short, you slowly and methodically remove all joy from their life so that it is as horrible as you can imagine, then keep going.

>implying GW isn't trying to phase death out of the setting because it doesn't fit, and replace it with a construct or golem faction or something dumb

first for the new battletome probably being filth and breaking the game

This is what you get for being collaberators

gw is going to shit on you just as easily as they shit on fantasyfags

I think armor should be damage reduction rather than some treshhold you need to overcome. Using it as damage reduction would really give you that "practically invulnerable to most regular weapons" feeling. Imagine in for example D&D having full plate give you damage reduction 10/- or 10/bludgeoning. The only weapons that would be able to harm you (barring bludgeoning, if you choose to make that the exception) would be greatswords and greataxes, and even then they'd only do 1 or 2 damage if any at all. This would also encourage alternate ways to take knights down (like... oh, I don't know... grappling them?).

It'd make the system even more autistic than it already is, but if I could redesign how defending against damage would work I'd do it as follows:
>Replace the term "Armor Class" with something like "Defense Class" or "Protection Class" (sadly both DC and PC as abbreviations are already taken)
>You roll to attack against the targets Defense Class
>Defense Class is basically his ability to avoid or deflect strikes. Dictated by stats and class skills, but can be enhanced by shields and feats
>If you pass this check (ie. you get past the characters defenses) you now have to roll for damage against the armor's damage reduction. As is usual, you roll damage, substract the damage reduction and what remains is substracted from the enemy's hp

This would also allow you to play some animu weeaboo faggot who doesn't wear armor but has an incredibly high defense class because muh speed trumps muh strenght.

Used that for a time in WoW roleplaying.
nothing=1HP
cloth=2HP
leather=3HP
mail=4HP
plate=5HP
Was serviceable because it is quick and simple.
I feel like it excels in a situation like this where it is more of an auxiliary mechanic. Another thing would be a quick ruling for another scale you don't want to be burdened with too much. Like vehicles. For a main character bound mechanic in a P&P I prefer something more detailed.

>>52454406

Pull monsters from 4e and try to balance them so it's not the same handful of enemies. My PCs really don't like the foulspawn mind flayer combo in the underdark.
