>[whatever monsters inhabit the forest] sneak up and kill your party while they sleep.

It's kind of straightforward.

Sudden rainfall and flooding

>>53694560
No need for a TPK per se. Have a random low-level monster attack and handwave the coup-de-grace to put him no lower than 0 HP.

Then let the screams and gurgles from trying to hold his throat shut wake the rest of the party. They won't fuck up twice.

Depends on the edition.

Depends on the system, depends on the setting, depends on the magic user, type of magic, intent of the magic, potential of the magic, and lore, and much much more.

This is how you can use "a wizard did it" for a plot device. Because it could literally be anything within or outside the realm of in game or out of game reality.

I can't on top of my headcome up with a single system, setting, edition, or a type of magic that'ddelve deep enough in the matter to have any kind of an answer, meaning odds are pretty damb good you're just allowed to come up with your own interpretations to them.

>it could literally be anything within or outside the realm of in game or out of game reality
See, doesn't this statement, the whole "A wizard did it" statement, directly contradict everything that says "Depends on X" and render it null? Because it does in fact not depend on those things, it's just magic being weird.

why would you do that

It's not that 3.5 did anything distinctly better, it's that for all its improvements PF didn't really fix any of the core problems with the system. It's a coat of paint and a weak set of houserules, nothing more.

>>53693434
Cool shit classes can do. 3.5 only actually had a few years of innovation, they spent 2000-2005 being idiots and refusing to learn, then eventually wised up and started bringing out stuff like the binder, book of nine swords, dragonfire adept - even the shit they did badly like incarnum had huge potential.

>>53693434
The only advantage I can think of for 3.5 is the absolutely huge amount of books so there's tons of content to find exactly what you want. On the other hand that's a DM's nightmare because it means telling players they can't use every splatbook.

And 3.5 is compatible with PF anyway so even if you have a favorite class or spell or whatever you can always port it over.

>>53692975
Just houserule it.

Savage Worlds allows precisely that, by accepting a penalty to your shooting rolls - a negligible one, for any proper gunslinger. It's also a direct descendant of the venerable Deadlands western, which may have done the same thing, I don't quite remember.

RPG's with abstract movement mechanics might suit. Zone based systems assume that any movement within a zone is free and automatic, with it only taking an action if you're moving between zones.

>8th level wizard
Stopped reading there. You're powerful enough. Just use shitty spells like time stop and create plane to do whatever you want.

>>53692829
8th level as in level 8 with 2 4th level slots haven't got those yet

>Have you ever made a character who was a ripoff/expy of another character from media? Or from folklore/mythology? Tell us about it.
Honestly, I never have.

Projection much?

>a shitty and retarded group
This seems to be the case.

Yes, yes, we know already. We get at least two of these a week. Fuck off.

We're going to have a yet another shitfest aboit justifiable genocide, aren't we?

Let's not. I can guarantee nothing new will be said and no one will change their minds. It'll just bea waste of time for everyone.

Justback away from the keyboard and go back to whatever generals we like to frequent, all right?

>>53691052
>Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?
Yes, Martin, because Orcs were created by an evil god as a perverse mockery of life and likely only appeared alive at all because he infused their bodies with parts of his unquestionably evil soul.

Reposting for more feedback!

In Yūsha Gojo Kumiai Kōryūgata Keijiban what sort of feats can a level 10 Magician actually accomplish? Specifically how potent can their abilities be and what sort of magnitude does their magic have?

SpyCraft. It's a d20 game.

>>53690128
depends entirely on what kind of campaign are you going for. In general GURPS is recommended a lot thanks to it's modularity, but you can refluff cyberpunk 2020 to work. Play Twilight 2000 if you want an apocalyptic campaign, run Phoenix Command if you want an intensely realistic campaign (the system is a bit dated though). Gonna need more information for a good recommendation Anon.

/tg/ newfag here, is that considered bad round these parts?

>>53689650
If you pop over to the ORE general we can give you our current build of our persona module.

It uses a modified version of the monsters and other childish things system, which is basically persona.

If you check the archive, the last thread was basically entirely about this question

The same question every single day. Is this a meme how?

Futaba is objectively best girl

Mwg.

Almost like them.
But it's their job, and they're constantly getting the rules wrong. Not occasionally, with obscure shit only...
And that's coming from me, someone yet to field an army. And only taken an interest at all in the last two years. Relying entirely on pirated rules sources.
Sure my head isn't full of previous editions which may or may not conflict with the current game.
But they were getting 7th edition wrong after how many years?
Again, it's their job. They can have the rules in front of them. If they're unsure, check.
It's almost like they haven't read the rules at all.

>the fact they've been releasing 8th batreps using power levels instead of points, kind of suggests they're not putting much thought into it...

>the fact they've been releasing 8th batreps using power levels instead of points, kind of suggests they're not putting much thought into it...

This was probably to get an 8th edition batrep out ASAP in order to get more views and subscriptions to the vault pushed by hype.

>>53689795
I like them, but I agree, they fuck up a ton.

Every other channel that could be considered bad is low budget and not worth picking on.
