why do people keep making threads with spurious leading questions?

>>54189959
Because she's a crotchety bitch that yells at you no matter what you do and then acts superior about it.

>>54189976
Probably because they enjoy the torrent of sarcastic hypothetical questions

ha ha what the fuck

You want something more generic. >obligatory GURPS suggestion

Uhhhhh. The only thing that comes to mind for high powered crazy stuff in modern setting with less powerful people pairing up with the powerful ones would be to wait for scion 2e and then hack the shit out of it

I've tried running an experimental system and honestly it's hard as fuck. Having players controlling both masters and servants makes it hard for them to rp two different beings at the same time, having them play only one of the roles makes it too much arbitrary for the DM, having couples of players doing each one of the roles seems like the best idea, but... It's still really difficult.
Go for a generic system, be strict on the level of magic allowed, make an adaptation of the HGW system rather than just transposing its rules.
But mostly, good fucking luck.

>How do noncombatants dress?
The answer (as it is for many questions in these threads) is "it depends."

So give multiple of circumstantial answers.
Ideally alongside your context, to prevent or retard conflict down the line.

I believe I did, via the medium of pictures.

The primary advantage of lasguns isn't killing-power, but logistics. They are cheap, require no ammunition, and little maintenance. It wouldn't single-handedly decide a war, but it would be very nice.

>>54185575
Ultimately, small arms aren't anywhere near as important as they were.

Sure, they've got a small logistical and man on man lethality advantage, but they still don't have anything else that their serious threats have.

A lasgun isn't gonna stop them from getting bombed to fuck. In fact, giving jihadis lasguns is probably gonna result in them getting bombed out of existence almost immediately.

Can lasriflers penetrate modern kevlar?

Would las cannons function as anti air?

His name is Vamp Fucker

He is a tree golem filled with the souls of people who just really fucking hate Dracula.

His only goal in life is to stab Dracula in the heart with a steak. He is ready for this as his entire body can be made into a steak. He's also just pissed all the time.

His ultimate weakness is fire, which is the same one as Frankenstein's monster, so he has a connection with someone on the inside.

Solaire of Astora. all of his attacks are sun-based.

Okay I can think of a small team that could maybe do it.

A Texas cowboy, a psychiatrist and lawyer duo from Britain, and an elderly doctor from Amsterdam.

I know that's an unusual team to have take down Dracula, Lord of Darkness, but for some reason I think they can do it.

Sometimes people with healing magic just aren't around, and you need the next best thing, which is medicine and such. Plus, the development of traditional medical systems helps societies become less reliant on magic in general.

Healing spells might not be able to cure all the diseases. Alternatively, material components might have requirements only crafted by alchemists with "scientific" alchemy skills.

>>54226422
Because most of the cucks on /tg/ are THAT GMs and make inconsistent pieces of shit settings.

Just ignore it OP, its LE MAGIC XD don't have to explain shit.

>>54226128
Depends on the criminal and the Clerics reason.

>>54226128
Seems like that would depend on why the cleric wants to raise the criminal.

>>54226128
well, I guess it would depend exactly how deities govern the distribution of their powers in your setting, as well as these >>54226173 >>54226182
I generally think that a cleric has a little bit of leeway to make their own calls, presumably they've proved themselves to get where they are in their god's favour, but that doesn't have to be the case for your world

>>54224202
Bring back smut and quests.

>>54224202
For a start, don't let quests back in ever. Now that that's out of the way, this thread can be different from the last several of these. It's not is it? Well I tried.

this

Any tips you could share on balancing player encounters? I've read DMG

Gonna make an ancients paladin/fey warlock. Between big strength weapons, dex weapon + shield or a staff with shelilagh, which is

>The most effective at low/mid level
>The most fun
>The most fitting for a wandering knight-errant type character

Are there any pics showing a spell effective area on a grid?

Uh, you do you, Anon. So long as you or your jumper are enjoying yourselves, I guess.

Anyone else have anything to say about the jump?

This is gonna sound weird, but at what age do women in this setting normally start having sex/trying to get pregnant?

If it helps, my reasons are that I basically want to end up with an age too young to have any contact with a 'husband' yet. My jumper is already married and you can see my problem with the possibility here.

What are you, thirteen?

Generally people don't want to live in the desert. Since the undead from the rest of the world flock to here it can only seem like a good thing. It means they congregate and don't mess with others.

I say the loss of a desert is fine. I would send emissaries though to check exactly what they were planning on doing.

I don't eat the dessert. It's full of dead things.

>>54220166
zombies are literally going Oregon trail through all the kingdoms, principalties, republics, federations of the world. That's all they need to drop an anti-undeath nuke into the desert and send in the paladins after it.

>>54219592
Well, he didn't make them with emphasis on intelligence.

>>54219592
If he viewed the Primarchs as tools, he should've culled Angron immediately. If he didn't view them as tools, he should've been a better fucking parent.

I believe canonical answer is Yes, but it's pretty shitty writing either way.

He held back until he realized Horus was absolutely beyond all salvation, letting himself get corpsed in the process. Unless they're rewriting canon so he straight up LOST, he cared more about saving that particular tool than his own life.

If that's really the angle they're going with now, I'm going to assume it's 40k-induced callousness.

I generally go by this. Narration or description is viewed through the lens of the characters capabilities and their rolls.

It also has the side benefit of being a good way of encouraging less capable players to experiment. Even if they're not certain about things like dialogue or making plans IC, a good roll obliges the GM to view their attempt in the best possible light, giving them positive feedback on the parts that worked and letting them feel good about their achievements in the game.

I'm going to make charisma my dump stat because none of my spells are affected by it.
What, my speech failed to convince him? Pshh, it sucks that we are playing a ROLLplaying game and not a real roleplaying system like 3.5e.

>>54218753
If everyone is on the same page concerning what type of game the group is going to be playing, getting around your example can be made easier, by instead, rolling the dice first and then making your speech or argument.

If you rolled poorly, you're able to come up with something, that doesn't have a lot of gravity to it, or you're able to leave out a lot of arguments that you could use to make your side a lot more convincing.

This also can help in the reverse of your example, when you have a player who isn't a very charismatic type, who simply says "come on guys, just do it." but because he rolled super high, the NPCs for some reason just go "welp, you've convinced me!". In this case, if a high number is rolled, other players, or the GM could give the person tips or points to help construct their argument.
