People who become vampires aren't typically those who're interested dedicating a lot of time or effort to obtaining power.

>>54043495
This, plus, vampires need to spend a significant amount of time each night just feeding, and in most depictions are completely inert through the 8 hours from sunrise to sunset. Not a lot of time to focus on studying magic - if you want to be both a powerful wizard and undead, being a vampire is more of a hinderance than a help.

It's more viable if sunlight is merely lethal and doesn't force them to do nothing until it sets, of course.

>>54043385
Control and trust, or lack thereof.

Becoming a lich the wizard is in control every step and they don't require outside assistance to be involved.

To become a vampire you need to find another vampire to turn you. What if they decide that once they've started the process of draining your blood maybe they'll just drink you dry and not turn you after all? You might be a dangerous rival, after all.

And control. In most settings, vampires have some level of control over the people they turn. It varies from slavish obedience to just a fatherly bond, but most wizards who are inclined to go this kind of route wouldn't want anyone having any kind of leverage like that over them, even if it is one of the benign ones.

Can't you wear armour? Power armour that resembles 15th century full plate armour.

If not, a silver-grey buisness suit with a nehru collar and a matching bowler hat. Aviator sunglasses. Black snakeskin ankle boots with cuban heels.

>>54041621
His abilities are strongly based on agility and speed. At the same time he is relatively fragile. Not sure if an power armor would fit.

I've always enjoyed this bit of artwork, I was planning on using it as the basis for a modern knight a while ago

Ignoring them doesn't work, because they try time and time again to pass out bait until they catch some weak links, and worse still, even when /tg/ shows a measure of understanding and restraint, they will literally argue with themselves just to bump their threads. Argument fuels them, and the moderators seem to mistake what they're doing as something unmotivated and with no agenda behind it.

It's little different from the system wars that plagued /v/ until the mods went out of their way to ban repeat trolls and to otherwise reduce the amount of system war trolling that threatened to choke that board. When the mention of any game simply meant a set of trolls would go out of their way to derail the thread, the entire board was essentially taken hostage. Thankfully, the anti-D&D trolls are much fewer in number and are generally recognized as trolls, but even so, I feel like it's time to address the elephant in the room, and to encourage people to not simply hope that their hatred will ever run out.

Yes, it's bad to give attention whores attention, but these trolls need to understand that they're not fooling anyone, and that people are getting fed up, if they hadn't noticed already.

Cue damage control from these trolls.
Try your best to not fall for their bait.

GURPS is best

>>54052310
I like GURPS too, if that means anything.

>>54046901
If your answer is not "Turn undead", then you've never been in combat with 15 shadows at once.

Party is a paladin, a warlock and a wizard. What do I pick?

>>54046939
Fighter, Barbarian, Druid or Cleric

>>54039953
PvP Combat rules,for those who need them

Also,was thinking of making armor as a percentage gained as extra health at the beginning,rather than a subtraction of damage.

Anyways,I'll keep this thread alive.

With time salvation shall come to Rumar and judgement to The horde. Already the great manufactories, forges, and shipyards of Sol roar to life as a new blade is forged to combat the threats of the Void.
Who else will join this campaign?

>>54037595
GURPS but a good game? This sounds pretty awesome.

>>54037595
Yeah I'm going to keep an eye on this one.

>>54037595
At this point, I don't think I'll bother with any generic system. Especially one that needs special dice.

But FFG does make some nice looking books. If they release an interesting setting book (like Android), then *maybe*.

Alignment is character's implicit support for their side in the war between the Upper realms and the lower realms, i.e. heaven and hell.

Good people bat for angels, evil people bat for demons and devils, neutrals don't care.

>>54030554

Motives and actions. End results only affects other peoples' perceptions of the alignment.

>>54030572
This is how it's always been in D&D (and why stuff like people saying Nox wasn't evil is retarded). Ends don't justify the means, ever, when it comes to alignment.

>>54025366
It'll be shit like everything else neo-Magic does.

>>54025366
Underpowered small creatures, burn spells, and counters. Overpowered fatties, Planeswalkers, and cheat into play cards. Just like every set these days.

I just hope the poor Dominarians had the time to catch a breath for once.

>>54025387
The end of mtg, surely.

first for FW emails need errata too

First for genestealers are OP

second for racism isn't bad
inb4 shitstorm

>>54050749
Could be worse, like all my idiot friends who think that latin (or in this case pseudolatin) c's are ever soft.

If I have to hear about somebody's "sestus" assault ram Ill turn inside out.

pronouncing the 'g' in Waaagh!

pronouncing Aeldari or Aelfs as "ayeldari or ayelfs"
when the 'ae' actually makes an 'eee' sound. So it's actually "eeldari or eelfs"

>>54050287
I can understand the second one if you're playing a cleric of some (((greedy))) god. The rest make no sense.

>>54050287
Tank as a concept is very video gamey and was given birth mainly by MMOs. You shouldn't expect ttrpgs to function the same.

It really depends on what circumstances for the rest. A cleric of a god of commerce might do this, a wizard who needs to save the spells or a barbarian who wants to do a dex skill at the moment.

First for Dreadnoughts

Effectiveness of Snipers? Looking at including four Arquebi in my Skittle Brigade, has anyone actually used them at all or am I wasting points on what's basically two Sniper Autocannon with a bit more AP?

third for lion el homo is next

>>54049296
>implying that wizards would have any problems gathering some elves for you.

Puh-lease

>>54049332
In 3.5 probably not, while in 5e is that a problem.

Nobody. I just start a fire.

Just go standard fertility god. You know, ample chest, wide hips, hair full of flowers. Maybe add some regal elements, like crowns and shit.

that's literally wicca.

Make her queen of earth that fought and won a long war against the god of the sky. Bonus points him being her former husband.

>>54047481
Flirt with her, take her home, hold her hands and fuck her in the missionary position ?

>>54047481
Reminisce about how we used to have quest threads on this board?
