Someone is probably triggered by the female town guard there, and that's not me, but why is her spear shorter? Do they specifically make shorter female-model spears in this city?

I'm not sure if that belt tie is meant to conceal a dagger sheathe or is just some damn phallic imagery either. Reminds me of centurions and ties. If it isn't a sheathe the lack of any sidearm at all seems foolish.

Very nice boots although I think the metal might impede the foot. The wrong side of the body is armored at the shoulder. They seem like they could do with some more plate or good chainmail but I guess guards take what they can get (if you can afford those fancy decorations and medallions and dyes, though...). All in all 4/10 decent guard fashion but some clear weaknesses.

Reminds me of reenactment combat, every ten minutes the whole thing has to freeze for some idiot woman who had no business being there getting a concussion or popping her sticklike arm out of it's socket. And we just had to sit there and pretend it wasn't obvious insanity to let them on the field at all

Nothing makes you hate women more than actually interacting with them. I don't understand why "bitter virgin" is the default kneejerk reaction to this, considering said virgins are probably the most likely to put them on a pedestal. And this is probably what makes bitches and their pet white knights so butthurt: the higher the pedestal, the harder the fall.

First for Orkhammer

Good Xenos focus when?

>Seriously this isn't tough. That paragraph literally states they can't suffer any lasting defeats.

Suffer no lasting defeats =/= stronger.

The fluff outright states that the Chaos Gods are the strongest and most dangerous deities in the Warp with Khorne being the mightiest being in all the Warp. There is no Ifs and buts in this. Get behind your superiors

brb getting the text.

I'll DM for you, but I don't DM for niggers or anyone with brown eyes.

Does that exclude your group?

>>53217503
No, fuck you.

Wait 30 years.

I cast Burning Hands as a 9th level spell

Oh, it's quite elementary, my dear Watson. If your clairvoyance only covers the area around you, and you are blind otherwise, then the path to defeating you is obvious. We need merely use a pit trap or crusher with a large area of effect Or a hail of arrows. Large area of effect with quick deployment time is the ticket.

Kusarigama. DMs are typically afraid of the versatility and weebness.

Gnolls is fine. I consider gnolls to be a sort of cosmic in-joke in my setting.

Whenever you don't expect a hairy, cackling, grinning creature insulting your haircut, I put one.

Chain weapons is generally are grossly under appreciated

Wrong in inherently? No.
As long as everyone is down to play that kind of game, you're good.
All you gotta do it don't be a dick about it and push it into other games where it's not welcome by the other players or dm.

>>53215904
Yes. Stop being a pedo.

Being the little girl is never wrong.

Really? What difference would it make?

>Wizard
Students of magic, wizards have usually Seen Some Shit. They have access to incredibly powerful magic but must prepare wands, spell components, scrolls and incantations to use it.Expect to have to frantically scribe an incantation or perform a ritual while your party defends you at one point.

>Play a wizard if...
...you like to be prepared, and treat encounters as puzzles to be solved.

>Missionary
An impassionate preacher and student of faith, Missionary will turn many souls to true light. His main playstyle is diplomatically solving situations and gaining followers to help perform diplomacy by other means.

>Play a missionary if...
...you want to talk a lot and bring light to the darkness.

Is it the early 2000s again?

Truly, this is a new thought that nobody has ever had before. We certainly have never had a thread about this before, nor is it an accepted truism when people talk about elves on /tg/. Nobody has ever remarked on how elven subtypes correspond to the environment - OP, you are a visionary.

>>53213431

Blood Angels. They get shit done, are chill with all Imperium forces bar Ad-Mech, had the best Primarch, look fabulous, and have the best Chapter Master/Librarian.
Their only downside is their successor chapters.

I agree.

Pathfinder

>>53212420
D&D and its like aren't really like that. They're focused on nigh-omnipotent magic users in a weird fantasy setting, not on mighty warriors clad in golden armor riding down armies of demons as the prophecy foretold.

>>53212380
Maybe high level DCC?

>>53212289
Lose two Inheritence perks and put them in "Low-End Job Veteran" and "Straight Edge". Makes things way easier, although you will be missing a lot of situationals involving alcohol or drugs in case of emergency.

>>53212289
Give yourself average stats across the board with a slight emphasis on INT and get on a STEM career.

Bam, done.

>>53212325
But if my inheritance is that small, I might need to get a job at some point! Wouldn't that cause me to miss out on connection events like parties?

And then, at party's and hangouts that I do wind up being able to attend, straight edge gives massive penalties.

Seriously, how would this make things easier???

Having skills leads to trap options, almost universally, no matter how many skills there are.

Why? Because unless the player is clever enough (and want to push a concept), the GM will always prefer certain skills over other, subconsciously.

Having that many skills is not bad in on itself, depending on the rest of the system... But in almost any system it would be bad. Having more skills makes the character creation more versatile, but it also makes it complex. Having that many skills also doesn't add a lot of depth in the game, because the methods players use are going to be freeformed somewhat anyway, so having specific skills for it suddenly just becomes redundant.

The thing, though, is that having that many skills gives the players actually LESS FREEDOM while played. They're tied to their known methods, and need to develop the character to get new methods. And if there are a 100 skills, if you want to "Investigate", for example, you just take skills required to make a somewhat full investigation and use them EVERY TIME. And when the skills themselves are so shallow (You can't really have multi-faceted skills when you got so many), the characters wind up doing the same things over and over again.

For video games? Great!

For /tg/? Fuck dude, nobody's gonna play that.

I practically always experience a big skill list as positive. Provided they are relevant to the setting/genre and have comparable breadth (which doesn't have to equal similar usefulness in every campaign e.g. naval skills). Also available points should be proportional to list size.
I love having the granularity to really represent the characters I come up with.
Many people seem to shut down at the sight of long lists, but skills in most systems all work with a singular skill mechanic and have names that are self evident, so it is only a neglectable increase in workload.
