Doing accents/voices for your characters, too much effort and difficult to maintain, or worthwhile?

Current campaign ending soon and my next character is a Svirfneblin Awakened Mystic Urchin, and i was thinking of trying to go for a Durance-esque Pillars of Eternity manner of speaking, including the cryptic bullshit.

Well you see, now they can use Intelligence for everything. Can't have WIZARDS needing wisdom, now can we?

Anon, as having played a War Cleric for a year and a half, i can tell you that, while Spirit Guardians is great, it pales in terms of damage output to comparably leveled wizard options.

>>52286536
>it pales in terms of damage output to comparably leveled wizard options.

Okay. The comparative level is 3.

I'm not remotely speculating on wizard vs cleric performance past level 6, mind, but if wizards become great damage guys compared to clerics, it sure as hell isn't in the level 1-6 region.

How would you guys build a dex pally

I was going to go SnB, dueling and shield master. I know PAM pally is best damage wise but we really need a tanky fuck.

Probably was going to do Devotion or Vengeance.

I'll be level 5, also I have my choice of two uncommon magic items, I was prob going to do a cloak of protection and a +1 sword or mithril splintmail

I felt that the show was trying (but failing) to explore the ideas of different forms of government systems.

Republic city is a democracy. Equalists were using communist imagery. Unalok was trying for a traditional tribal/theocracy thing. Red Lotus are extreme anarchists. The Earth Kingdom was a Monarchy. And then there's the Fascists from last season.

It'd have been very interesting to see these groups interact with each other, see how they shape the beliefs of the characters on the show and how Republic City itself ends up being shaped by their ideals.

Not especially useful for your timeline, but it's a thought.

Personally I'm kind of interested in the gangs. They were kind of skipped over, and could've had a bigger part. Would work especially well with probending, sporting corruption and what not, but you could have it be a solely gang experience.

>Gunpowder and cannons completely rendered castles and other high-wall fortifications useless.

This is worse than the "guns killed plate" meme.

>>52286245
>Gunpowder and cannons overcame curtain walls so easily and rapidly that they eventually were no longer worth the investment on fortifications located on flat land that were supposed to restrict the movements of cutting-edge armies

fixed.

For the rest, it depends on what sort of magic we're talking about. A wizard who can move earth will have a field day in Europe as walls generally didn't have foundations worth shit to begin with.

>>52286245
>every feudal lord is guarantee to have a wizard in his retinue
This is the situation I'd like to question further. Why is the wizard(who has access to powerful and destructive spells) not considered the one in charge with the 'feudal lord' simply being the one that oversees the day to day stuff?

I swear like 9/10 of the characters I make are interested in cooking. Whether or not they're actually good at it.

>>52286178

He likes to people watch. He'll take some food out to the park or just hang out in a bar and just chat or sit by himself and watch life go by.

He's a uniformed member of a well-liked religious order so people will often approach him for advice or help, as well.

One thing that is a bit more classically hobby-ish is that before he took orders he spent some time working in a roadside carnival as a juggler and sleight-of-hand magician and now knows a few routines that have a religious "message" to them, including a "cursed" coin that constantly re-appears on or around a particular spectator when it isn't "pinned" by a holy symbol (a great time to pass notes or small items) and a trick where a plain napkin slowly becomes covered in catechistic symbols and then given away (which is also great for passing things on.)

i still carry around my decks in a shitty scars of mirrodin fatpack box held together with duct tape and free political bumper stickers i stole from the college cafe

I double sleeved a deck and will never do it again. 100 single sleeved is perfect for shuffling and double just makes it clumsy.

I use pic related for my Squee deck because it's the deck with all my money cards. The rest just go into one of those deckbuilder's toolbox boxes. The fat packs are fucking awful for deck storage. The top always catches on shit.

There's an Amazon kit in the Complete Fighter's Handbook but it has none of those things you mentioned
If the player can't front up with an actual book/pdf and point to the rules in question, then you should tell them to fuck off

>>52285217
I've pushed the GM on it and he says it's real. But I also know he's the type of guy to lie about it and allow something retarded broken in because he doesn't know what balance is.

We were specifically playing AD&D to mitigate the Min/Maxing so it's a little frustrating when you make a character that's all fluff and someone makes one that fills 2 roles effortlessly.

>>52284397
Ideas will mostly depend on what their speciality is. I find that having the PCs being working for a local PD could be interesting. They would always have the problem of having to deal with few available resources, corrupt officials, dirty cops, street gangs, corporate spec-ops, cybercriminals, psycho killers, internal affairs (if they are dirty or they pissed off a corporation...), etc.

>>52284397
Tons. But I'm at work so I'll bump for now and answer later.

>A hacker group is carrying out acts of sabotage and high profile hacks including corporate advertising and mass-hacks against crowds of people. The twist is that they're only doing it to try and sabotage the efforts of a nascent seed AI trying to grow by networking a bunch of cyberbrains together into a massive distributed cluster.

vallejo primer applied via airbrush.

Anything else is pleb tier.

>>52284422

Vallejo Surface Primer is shit. If you want to flaunt your airbrush then use Stynylrez. Vallejo is only good for display pieces.

Am I the only one that thinks that the Vow of Chains is REALLY good for what it makes you give up, mechanically speaking? Just drop your attacks by a measly 1 to-hit and you get a ki every 3 levels? Sign me up, that's freaking awesome.

Is it possible to play a LN character without being autistic about laws?

I made a Grippli druid LN because I figured I could just adhere to Grippli cultural norms and have a vague notion of natural balance.

>i dont get how a recaster can cast a model, look at it missing a leg/hand. and toss it in the bag and ships it to you. the lack of consideration is ridiculous.
They're Chinese. That's kinda what they do.

>>52283509

hell im all on board for getting knock off 40k. knowing it will look 5/10.

im not a huge painter/model hobbies so all i do is spray it black and call it a day. i know for a fact thats gonna cover the horrid recasting. i had a recasted tau model once and u wouldnt be able to tell it was recasted unless u stared at it.

18th level Moon druid.

Besides that, Halfling Wizard with the Lucky Feat in order to get as many re-rolls as possible.

Or Arakokra Warlock. Flying Eldritch Blaster Caster.

I dunno man, 5e doesn't break much. The halfling wizard just kind of munchkins your d20 roll, and then certain spells can be exploited, but there's nothing too crazy that can be done If you have a competent DM.

Again with my question from last thread: Is it possible to make a dragon out of human bones/flesh/blood? If so, what can it do other than be really big and intimidating?

> Mechanically, my character is a variant human fighter with GWM, Sentinel and Polearm Master feats

Why are you making threads just to spam /v/ shit? You're almost as bad as the /pol/, jack, jojo, and /d/ fags.
