Variant Human
Faction Agent
Fighter. GW or Duelling fighting style
Magic Initiate (pick Friends (Axii), Mending (he's a self-sufficient dude, also he at one time fixes a pot with Igni etc.), and Thunderwave (Aard).
You go Eldritch Knight, and at level three you take Blade Ward and Shield (both represent Quen or Heliotrop), Burning hands (Igni) and Thunderwave (you already have 1 freecast, but you want it ''on tap'' as well). At levels where you can take spells from other schools, you get Sleep for Somne and other spells you think resemble certain uses of a Sign, for example Charm Person for Axii, but don't get something like Fireball for Igni.

You put below average to average to above average points in Charisma (Geralt isn't a guy people are instantly friends with, however he does possess some presence. Judge as you will), average to above average in intelligence, average to MAYBE above average in Wisdom (think of the Beast and the Beauty story in The Last Wish, he figures the girl is a vampire but it takes him a while), Above average Strength AND Dex (take your choice which you put higher, though the Wolf School fighting style is arguably based more on technique, pirouttes etc. than on brute strength). Constitution must be above average to high, he survived the mutation rituals and takes some pretty stiff hits in the books.

Alignment is a problem, because although Geralt lives by a kinda Neutral Good alignment, he does some questionable shit both early and later in life (killing people in an inn to get the attention of King Foltest, helping for money instead of the good of his own heart, ''tricking'' Ciri's parents to get her as a destined child), though on the other hand he does some incredibly selfless stuff at times. I think the Butcher of Blaviken story is some good insight into his way of thinking, which you could only call ''pragmatic''. If you want the ''real'' Geralt, don't play his as in the games, as he is an amnesiac, check the books.

Depends; what era?

The 3rd Edition Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting guide is a good place to start.

400+ books.
All of 1e-3.5 because 4e tainted the fuck out of FR lore with Points of light
This includes Dungeon Magazine, Polyhedron, and Dragon Magazine
And the Forgotten Realms Canon comics.
Notable lore-based events are also synonymous with edition and rules changes subject to the setting, Time of troubles was 1e-2e and Vecna's Whack-ass trip to Sigil was 2e to 3e-3.5

You're in for it now, kiddo.

>>53498023
this got blightkings and some khorne guys
silvertower got more mionis but smaller ones and one big ogor.
look up what minis u want or need( me ? i need some blightlings for nurgle but some uniqe heroes are fun)

>>53498023

I would get a game called Dungeon Sage, it's about twice as good and half the cost.

This WQ doesn't have much to do with the original.

>>53502804

Dungeon Saga*, sorry.

get tae fuck ye cunt

Well, he didn't fuck over his...no, wait.
Hmm. He was nice to his hors-- nope.
He was a pretty decent tool of the Gods of Law...no, wait, that didn't work out either.

I'm at a loss, really.

>>53496779
>Gods of Law
>Not a bunch of equally shitty assholes

He's a pawn of Balance.

But he still fucked over too many people to count.

>>53496605
I remember reading a story written by the same author where some hero gets summoned by humans to kill all the elves, but then the hero decides to join the elves and genocide the humans. Kind of weird.

>Steampunk art that isn't cog covered, over-designed, everything was invented by Nikola Tesla garbage

Isn't that the very definition of Steampunk?

>S4

How the fuck is Abby going to compete now he's facing chadmarines and primarchs?

>>53495954
Talon of horus doesn't seem to have any downsides. He's probably going to use that most of the time.

>>53495954
His shooting is S4, he has a choice between s5 that can punch himself in the face or s8 hitting on a 3+ for melee

Basically mana. A certain amount of the magical oil gives you 1 MP and spells have a MP cost.

I would play a science fiction game if I wanted to play a science fiction game

>>53495805
Pretty sure "The Magic Goes Away" was from before the arruficial split by two competing sets of cliches.
Either way, Fantasy and Sci-Fi are still the same genre (Weird Fiction).

Only books I own in German are degenesis and savage world's, savage world's was my first RPG it's nice that it is a generic system but I think it is somewhat clunky and I only played a single campaign with it.
I really like degenesis but the setting is hit or miss for most people and you can't really play without being at least somewhat familiar with the fluff, and the books are quite expensive, I don't really know how expensive the pdfs are though.

Serbia and surroundings from 1350-1400 is a fucking perfect setting that nobody ever fucking uses.

There was some infogra[hic that pointed out how a bunch of things were going on during the events of the Meiji Restoration at the same time that would make a party between a samurai, a cowboy, and a few other things completely feasible.

If you don't mind the higher chance of autism, you could go for a text based game.

Grav is fixed

I expected more but okey.

Since we know Swarmlord's statline and they've now revealed Gillyman's weapons and rules, anyone have the math for who would win?

And because it just popped up, a PSA:

Someone else can make a separate thread for that, I guess.

Chapter Master Lord Britannicus WHEN ?

Someone's going to lose in the end, but it's both a lot better for the game and better for the player suggesting it that you get it from somewhere else. That "somewhere else" can as well be a perma-GM with nothing else to do - I know that personally I'd be a lot more likely to allow something someone else has thought up in my games even if the player obviously has to hide a hard-on, because the greatest warning flag for homebrew is that the player gets defensive or accusative when other people try to get in on creating it.
And to be honest, I like it when my players add a bit of fetish content once in a while, as long as they're not trying to monopolize it or push it on everyone else. It gives a sense that there's something more than just game design at work in the world - that even in-setting, there are dirty bits, people with their own preferences and things that aren't family-friendly. Something as small as that can make a world seem alive, and the more hooks I can give people so that the things they want to play can actually get into a game, the better.

A tribe of humans settle down in an area mainly characterized by thick, rolling woods and sandstone caverns, like many places in Eastern Europe.
First of all, homes are extremely scarce in a thickly-wooded region where people haven't invented the axe - so they go to the caves. Caves are rather small, though, and infested with monsters and/or natural hazards, so making a home becomes a tedious task that involves a lot of digging and a lot of paranoia.
Women, getting pregnant and having to protect their children, are naturally relegated to the caves, where they can be safe and sound - and from a combination of repeated pregnancies and lack of exercise, coupled with "women stay inside the caves" becoming a cultural norm, it starts becoming normal for women to eat and get pregnant to the degree where they can't actually leave a few central rooms of the cavern complex. It starts taking multiple men to feed one woman, and as married men bring in friends to help find food for their obese wives to show that they're good hunters and can keep their wife safe, the secret comes out and the tribe ends up with a system where a single "family group" of men work, live and sleep together in the woods for weeks on end to find food for a woman who's the centerpiece of their group.
In thick woods and deep water, the strongest man is the sleek, nimble one - and weight for a man starts taking on negative undertones of laziness, vanity and lack of self-control. Fat or muscular men are considered unmanly, even feminine (if they're fat), and dominated, bullied and otherwise whipped by the skinny men who can hide, swim, climb and run a lot better in the thick woods.
Weeks in the wilderness, though, tend to take all-male groups to a worrying level of homoeroticism - and when they get back, the one who "lost" is taken to get snu-snu'd by the massive centerpiece woman of their group, while the "winner" has actual sex with her.

That's a perfectly legit and fine idea.

Personally, I would make any creature that is human-like, such as elves, dwarves, orcs, and giants, just be mutated and changed versions of humans, similar to how orcs in the LOTR are actually just tortured and mutilated elves, and Uruks are further changed orcs.

I would make any significantly different race, such as dragons, be their own thing though. But they would have a completely different morality and way of doing things from humans.

>>53491904
Personally I'm not much of a fan of elves and others being changed humans: I like it better with humans being the young race that popped in after the elves and dwarves already fucked it all up.

>>53491680
I think what makes them more interesting is having them have good reason to come into conflict with humans, which provides a non-combat solution. Treat them like animals that are intelligent enough to make spears.

Example: frogmen live in a nearby river, not a huge problem normally. They usually spend their days fighting with eachother over fish, then hibernating in the mud once they've had their fill. A new mill was built up river, and its screwed with their supply of fish, so they've taken to moving overland to find more food, and settled in a lake nearby.

The reason they seem contrived is because they're just there to be killed and add some action to a session. Filling out their ecological/sociological roll more helps make them feel less shoe-horned.

In short, I wouldnt say that making them less common would be the optimal solution. However, making PROBLEMS caused by them less common is.
