>What's your stance on Chaos? Play it, Love it, Hate it? Are there any conditions that make it more or less acceptable
I have Norin chaos that I break out when things have gotten stale and an Edric deck completely focused on bringing about The Great Snake Mistake.

Bleak Brotherhood, nice fresh mint flames.

My favorites are my dudes. The Silver Host.

They're a slaaneshi warband focused on competition and natural selection. They are organized into three large bands led by an aspiring champion. They take in small renegade or heretic warbands and basically put them through a hazing process. They are pooled together in huge squads and put under the command of one of the Ascendant. The only way to progress is to fight, and survive, long enough that all traces of your original chapter/warband colors and heraldry is gone. Once this is achieved, they are given the opportunity to fight one of the Ascendant that make up the upper ranks of the warband for their position. Should they fail, they undergo a ritual which turns them into a spawn. The Ascendant collectively protect a ritual they have discovered which facilitates apotheosis to daemonhood for the worthy.

My lore isnt the best, by I like what Ive done model-wise. They're all packed up at the moment, but all the ascendant have sanguinary guard helmets painted silver, with silver armor trim and lich purple accents over black armor.

By not making stupid assumptions. In a fantasy setting, the scope of magic and the scope of martial skill can be determined entirely by the will of the author.

The idea that magic is limitless while mundane skill must remain bound by 'realistic' limits is a pointless double standard not even universally true amongst western fantasy settings, generally untrue in western mythology and a downright laughable concept if you expand your frame of reference beyond that.

>>54533124
Traditionally, mythical heroes were often blessed with divine superpowers, or simply gained magical gifts through their bravery or by murdering things who had magical items.

So the answer is a guy with a magic sword and a magic ring that makes him invisible can in fact very easily shank a top level mage who doesn't have an idea that there's an invisible bastard with a gutting knife that goes right through all magic gunning for him.

Does that help answer your question?

Several ways.

>1. Stop playing DnD where wizards are basically gods. There are plenty of settings in which magic actually follows reasonable and balanced restrictions on what it can and can't do.

>2. Mages ar... you know what, fuck it, 1 is the best answer here, just go with that one. Even if you do play DnD or one of it's derivatives, keep in mind that the average human NPC is rarely over level 2 anyway and being able to cast even a minimum level spell is a huge fucking deal... but preferably just play a game that's not a DnD derivative. The change to something better is never going to happen unless people get over this abusive relationship with D20.

>>54533008
that is a very system dependent question.

>>54534505
5e

>>54535476
It would be 1d6+str, in the same way that a human doesn't use 2+str (using both fists). It doesn't make any sense. Hitting with both fists would require making two attacks, which you can do if you have multiple attacks. As far as I know, RAW you don't dual wield your fists, you can't utilize dual wielding with unarmed strikes.

>>54532971

As someone who's in a campaign with a self-admitted min-maxer playing an Alchemist, I can at least say that Feral Mutagen and lots of self-buffs gets pretty stupid pretty fast. Try to pick up the Vivisectionist archetype too so you can get sneak attack dice instead of the normal meh-tier bomb class feature.

>>54533079
Err, already level 5, it's a bit too late to choose that.

>>54533293
Well, that sucks.

What are your stats/feats/race/archetypes?

Just find a new hobby. It's actually kind of nice to rotate them every once in a while and go through a back log. If you want to come back later, fine, but forcing yourself to enjoy a game doesn't really make sense to me

>>54531867
I quit. If it feels like a chore and I spend money on it, it's a bad use of my time and attention.

Yeah. My interest in hobbies fluctuates a fair bit. I put it down to depression and wait for it to come back.

If it's just one hobby/game and you still like others, might be worthwhile trying to identify if there's been a change- could be a change in the game that you don't necessarily hate, but you just enjoy less. Could be a change in the playgroup/community, could be a change in you.

>>54531792
A valid point, actually. Savage Worlds for example, gives you bonuses against an unarmed opponent.

I have been homebrewing for 5e (yeah, yeah...) and one of the things I change is that all weapons, not only shields, have an AC value. Smaller weapons have less, but you can dual wield them. Monk-style unarmed fighters obviously get the "weapon-AC" boost even when unarmed.

>>54531792
without a weapon you can use your hands for defense

>>54531792
Unarmed attacks without training provoke Attacks of Opportunity, meaning for every time the unarmed person attacks, the sword-wielder gets a chance to kill him.
Assuming they each attack each other once per turn, the sword-wielder has double the chance of hitting, and double the chance of killing his opponent.

One where failing isn't the end of the world and player are willing to accept failure instead of combing the books for any tiny advantage.

For good parties, an extremely comfy heroic game. I want to know, deep down, that the good guys will win. But there may be some stumbling along the way. The primary difficulties will be working together as a team. Combat may be trying, but it's very rare for characters to die.

For evil parties, I want a grueling fucking slog. I want to be crushed into the mud by unfeeling paladins whose Lawful Goodness sears my soul like a cheap steak. I want minions to die by the wagon load, I want rivals to die, I want innocents to die. And when I finally follow them, it will be with a moment of realization that it never could have ended any other way.

But an evil campaign can and should have comfy moments to break up the grind.[/spoiler.]

I always specifically avoided answering this question in any of my settings, as I feel it over-simplifies questions of faith and morality to confirm gods or an afterlife exist in any kind of definite study'able form. Even priests and other "holy" classes are drawing power from an entity they can't really comprehend or communicate with, outside of vague uncertainties like dreams or meditative hallucinations.

Elf Neo-Jazz club, great drinks even if anything trying to pose as meat is mediocre at best.
>After a failed run
My decker has at least one box of pancake mix available for this situation, more often two.

Before we start, is there a way we can make this more interesting? The tables are a bit lacking.
A way to roll twice on certain tables depending on swarm size and progenitor could spice it up a bit.

>>54529344
Special Rule, Hive Fleet Siafu actually uses tactics like Humans/Normal fucking species instead of sending swarm after swarm to breal the opposition

Maybe the next general will be Iconics Edition. Also an aquatic campaign, much less an underwater one, is so far down the list of things I'm going to ever get around to that I'll probably be dead before I do it.
