Lower totals works for me.
Gamers gonna game, and giving them a cap tends to invoke the salt. However, having a lower total to start with at least encourages spendthriftiness

Point limits are always there, in general if I want to enforce enough balancing that I'd invoke caps it's easier to just make them take templates.

Can someone explain to me how weapon breaking works? I feel like the rules for what you can and can't parry without your shit getting wrecked are confusing.

Can I get some feedback on this, please?

Or else I will be forced to make one of my clients review my shit.

It...looks good? I don't know what else to say.

Nothing about strategy or tactics. One thinks he knows a lot about politics, but is a just a radical centrist with an inflated sense of his own intelligence. He doesn't know anything beyond the generally vague outlines of the two major American political parties.

>>55330667
Basic tactics like ambushing and outflanking or recognizing either? Yes. Grand 'just as planned' strategies or understanding how to run legion sized units effectively? Very rarely.

I have studied historical strategies and tactics, but personally I prefer to just use human wave tactics.

>not grey babbys pls go edition
oh great

I keep reading in various sources that IJN ships had poor damage control. Can someone elaborate on what they mean by that (and/or why their naval architects did not devote as many resources to it as in other nations)?

>oh boy do i have a treat for you

How do you find the high up space and weight on your ship to mount all the fire control equipment to put all those turrets to good use?

Also how do you process all the math especially from 1890 to 1925?

>>55187956
In American ships (and most nations in general, but USN was one of the ones that put most focus on damage control) every crewman was trained in basic damage control duties and instructed to drop whatveer they were doing and go help with damage control if something bad happened near their station. Additionally, you had several crewmen whose main duty was to do damage control. Over a hundred in the battleships.
IJN did not train their crewmen in damage control and in fact told them that if there was a fire or something, they should just ignore it keep doing whatever they were supposed to be doing. They had some specifally crained damage control crew, but only a handful even aboard their biggest ships.

I'm not entirely sure why they thought this was a good idea, but it may have somethign to do with their obsession with the "decisive battle". Basically, their entire naval doctrine in the war was centered in weakening the USN fleet and then engaging them with every capital ship they had in one final battle. In that case, you wanted to get as much firepower out of your ships as possible, so you want as many men loading ammunition, doing fire control, operating turrets, etc., rather than running around putting out fires. Since you expect your capital units to only fight one battle where the enemy must be crushed utterly, it doesn't matter if they sink half an hour after the battle due to leaking or fire, as long as they sent the entire enemy fleet to the bottom first.

Man, I'm in a similar boat, I'm getting back into it for the first time since ~2010 and it's in a pretty good way. Some of the new models are amazing, though there's a bit of issue in design balancing between being dynamic and visually interesting, like too many things all trying to be centerpieces.
It's a pretty good time to get back into the hobby I think with all the new stuff and fluff.

>>55328400
Armies are balanced again, so I'd say go for it. Literally, any force you roll up should be "fairly" competitive. Expect this to go horribly wrong soon, however.

>expect this to go horribly wrong
kek, I assume you mean RIP my bank account?
Speaking of, what would be the most cost-effective way to get a ~1k army? Are some armies cheaper than others these days?
Along the same lines, what armies would be suitable for someone who's real rusty on the rules? Something not too complicated. I like spess marines, IG, grey knights, etc... but really anything other than fucking eldar or sisters is OK.

I am because if they all have extremely different art styles it ruins the immersion of it. and anime is strictly banned, especially loli. I have standards damn you and if you can't find good art I swear to the lord above ill fucking find it for you.

>>55328131
Yes but I probably have a larger tolerance for people showing their power levels than most

No.

why the hell not that one guy rips grapes off his head until he bleeds out

Deadpool and Wolverine did. Just get some guns or knives or your mad scientist friend to make you a laser gun and you're good to go.

Elegant is better, Anon. Keep it fucking simple.

>>55327551

Arbitrary attributes suck. Attributes and stats should be based on what matters for your game. By starting off from that point, it makes it a lot easier to make them all worthwhile and interesting. Arbitrary stat systems just tend to massive internal imbalance, see WoD as an endless example of this.

This fucking happens? What kinds of apes do you associate with? Disgusting.

DM gets the fist dibs, nothing to argue about.

This could be happening if she knew her GOD DAMN SPELL LIST and the goddamn fighter didn't have to be her encyclopedia.

Is there an option for me if I want to play an angry spell caster who taps into his rage to empower his magic, but I DON'T want to go heavy on the martial side so something like Bloodrager is out? I'm picturing something like a wizard who can empower his magic somehow when he's angry, becoming like a nexus of arcane fury until he's so exhausted from the exertion that he collapses, but he's still a twig of a man who wouldn't be able to swing around a heavy steel sword without falling over.

Or is this a concept that just can't work in Pathfinder right now?

None as a player.

As a DM, I would rather risk railroading than forcing players into an impossible choice. This way, the characters are the victims of fate instead of themselves.

My DM isn't forcing me to make a decision, my brain is because it's a dick. If I'm lucky, my DM will decide for me if he doesn't allow the new idea.

I had a character on the backburner for a while now that will fit the game, and am excited to play him, but now I've got something new I like stuck in my head too and I'm not sure which direction I want to go because these two ideas feel incompatible with each other.

This is Hell.

I was sitting on some ancestral visions I got before they were unbanned, and now those prices are dropping. Sold my glimpse the unthinkables while they were 30$ though, so that's nice.

Should have sold them a bit after the unban. Price was at its highest and wizards had already reprinted it once

Nice work.

Who the fuck gets an "internship" in retail? That sounds even sadder than just being a NEET.

Yeah, that's what I was here to say. You don't take internships for minimum wage shit jobs dude.
