Because PCs are rather unlikely to have huge, modern, wealthy corporate teams managing their image and supplying them with funds in order to appeal to a niche musical subculture of an island nation

They should be good at cave-based things. Essentially neandertal v2.0, with cave-cities in fjords and hot air balloons.

They should be good at engineering and things one step removed from engineering.

>>55307231
Not necessarily. Good at craftsmanship, not too technical when it comes to gears and things.

Also, here's a question I had for the minds of /tg/

Biologically speaking - what kind of physical features should a race of underground living humans have.
In other words, if a large group of humans got stuck underneath the earth for a bajilion years how would they evolve and change?

So far I got:
-small height (bad nutrition and lack of space)
-pale skin (duh)
-big ears and eyes (from the constant darkness)

>>55306378
I'd say they'd have extremely tough, calloused hands, maybe with hardened nails for digging and climbing through gravel and packed soil. I also imagine they have leathery, discolored skin from the moisture and humidity. Things like dermal fungus and acne would be common but adapted to not be as harmful.

Also, depending on what kind of food they have available, since fresh produce would be impossible to cultivate underground, maybe they show visual indicators of jaundice, vitamin deficiency and scurvy.

>>55306298
I tried to cover all the bases with the beast races in my setting, because beast races are cool. The standard elves and dwarves are in too, but they're not the dominant races. Almost all humans are some kind of variant.

>Vash
Huge brawny beastmen with a general distaste for magicians, druids and shamans being the exception. They serve as the dominant tribal society native to the continent. They come in mountain, jungle and grassland flavours, all proud and strong. Males look wolf-like, females are more lion-like. Loosely based on the Ronso peoples in final fantasy X. They have a thick accent and modified language because fangs get in the way when speaking.

>Quanna
Flexible, graceful aquatic zora-like dudes with armored shins and forearms, as well as venomous claws and wing-like fins on their backs. Traditionally wear masks, and while they were once a proud warrior race they've been reduced to criminals and vagabonds by poor circumstance.

>Linth
Straight up moth people because I saw some cute art once. Kinda fragile but very sneaky. Start as gross, barely sentient larvae before going through metamorphosis. Slowly going extinct for unknown reasons. Can't speak at more than a whisper.

>Yorin
Flightless avian hunchbacks based unabashedly on mystics from the Dark Crystal. Friendly brainy types. Most are too physically weak and clumsy to build their own society so they rely on intermingling with other races and joining their civilizations. Tend to be way too nice and calm to accommodate this. Move real slow.

DMs how often do you just make up monster tactics and abilities on the spot?

>>55306121
Abilities - never.
Tactics - always.

Players - how often do you just actually plan out tactics ahead of time?

Isn't WFRP 3e a legitimate boardgame with chits and other physical pieces now?

I remember playing WFRP 2e's early careers fondly, but it got out of control pretty fast if you stumbled around the right careers with good advances.

>Additional Notes
You are recruits, hopefuls and cadets in one of the world's most famed fighting forces - the Ibernian Royal Legion. The only standing force in an otherwise feudal army, the Legion is the long arm of the royal family of the Kingdom of Ibern. Made up of mercenaries, heroes and nobles from foreign lands, they are bodyguards, a vanguard, the great Ibernian spearhead that the feudal lords rally around. Numbering up to a thousand during wartime and perhaps only six hundred in peace, the Royal Legion only takes the most promising of trainees.

You are one of them - and what's more, your commander sees promise enough in you to have asked that you be sent on a special assignment for the good of the realm. Woken in the night, you were given orders to prepare your equipment and travel with all haste to meet a mysterious contact under shady circumstances, in a shady little inn, in a shady little town along the eastern border...

>>55304297
3e was trashy boardgame stuff that barely anyone played, yeah.
2e's still good, and we've got the next edition to look forward to soon where things'll be going back to how they ought to be.

Trade out becoming a bitch to a demon to becoming a bitch to other vampires and it's the same.

Posting idea to stir things up: Photomancy.

There's a reason we call it "Enlightenment". No other phenomenon bridges the known and unknown so much light. None is as mystical as light. It reveals everything you see and yet you never actually see light itself. The more light there is the easier you can see, but look into the light and it will blind you. It hasn't stopped inspiring, mystifying and humbling our brightest and most brilliant from the sun worshipers of earliest humanity to the foremost quantum scientist of the 21st century.

Photomancers "do light wrong" by insisting that there's no point where "more light" stops revealing more information and starts obscuring it. They find enlightenment and gain power over light by blinding themselves with it. They charge up by staring into bright lights until their vision blurs and their head hurts. Over time, they suffer permanent damage.

Do get a major charge, a photomancer needs to either blind themselves forever with a flash of light - relatively easy, but from that moment on they'll never be able to charge up again - or blind a large amount of other people at once.

Say, by detonating a nuclear device.

Their taboo is ever being in darkness. If they're in a space too dark to read clearly, they lose their mojo. Light is good and dark is bad. There is no compromise. Not even if all you want is to go to sleep. Or sneak somewhere.

What do you think?

>>55302682
Pretty cool. I think it was Goethe's last words: 'More light!'. And we know that all things that are, are lights. Or, as a famous physicist put it, e=mc^2. Blasts and such aside, Photomancers could be able to translate themselves- briefly- into light to traverse great distances. That would be some significant voodoo, I imagine. Sleeping in brightly lit environs would be second nature. I suppose another symbolic taboo could be refusing to turn away knowledge in any form.

>>55302865
Moving at light speed is cool (as would laser themed Blasts), but I guess from the symbolic tension involved (light reveals until it obscures) most powers should revolve around revealing or obscuring information, or making people more or less receptive to it. Such as by blinding them.

Now that I think about it, the Lore of Light from WFRP could be a rich source of inspiration, although I think we should be aiming for slightly narrower than that. As it happens, Light is one of the most versatile Lores since it covers virtually all aspects of figurative and symbolic light. It heals, it inspires, it impresses, it guides, it banishes darkness, it illuminates, it burns...

I'm not photomancy should be all those things.

It's always 10% times (the number of dice minus 1.) With two dice, it doesn't matter what the first die says, the other one has a 10% chance of matching it. With three dice it's 1%, with four it's 0.1%, etc.
