Seeks dominion over worlds using the star's power.

The star seeks to awaken, using pawns to usher in it's coming.

Nice.
Any traps or henchmen of notoriety?

Old thread got purged.

Maybe we shouldn't fuck this one up?

The last of the Threadhicans

Kyras is compelling and attractive.

Tau equivalents maybe. I can't recall what percentage of the Galaxy they controlled, but assuming it was relatively small then they would be massively outnumbered by the Imperium and the Imperium arguably has better tech or at least comparable tech to the Terrans.

>>52863660
Given how their psychic powers work, wouldn't Khorne be 100% okay with even their high templar?

>>52864024
It's loosely like the Orks psychic powers from what I remember. But even a protoss cut off from the Khala can still use regular psychic powers.. maybe their nerve cords just serve as their communication array instead of what they use to channel powers?

The problem is that the downsides to these weapons only come into play in large battles, not small ones that are played on the table top.

>>52863391
Limited amunition.

>If a weapon is "anti-tank" because it deals a lot of damage and penetrates armor it will still kill foot soldiers just as easily. It's not like foot soldiers are fast enough to dodge something any more than a vehicle could.

It is still only 1 shoot, most "anti-infantry" weapons are things with high ROF or splash/zone damage.

>You can make an anti-tank rocket that can only fire once every three turns but it will still be great for blowing up cover and killing groups of enemies

That isn't how rocket launchers works, anti-tank rockets don't explode.

Most of the times anti-vehicle weapons are overkill or complety shitty agains infantry, for example something as a RPG will hit a person like if it were 1 big solid shoot with poor accuracy compared with a rifle round.

>He thinks Ynnead isn't just another snack

If Slaanesh were worried Fulgrim + the entire EC Legion + a thousand KoS would pounce on the Ynnari the moment Cadia fell.

A use per short rest sounds good to me.

Alternatively. You can give him one breath attack per level each day. Its up to him how many times he breaths per battle but once he is out he wont get them back after a long rest

It can also be one breath weapon per every two character levels if you feel one per level is to much

>>52862897
Well, for starters, you should both read the fucking book.
Dragonborn breath weapon is already once per short/long rest.

If he's still not happy with that, two good options are to either let him retroactively switch his 4th ASI or feat for a feat that cuts his breath weapon recharge to 1d4 rounds, or just to tell him that he can have it be at-will if he gives up a d6 of damage.

>>52862897
Breath attack is an encounter ability. Remind him that most creatures with breath attacks that are legit DRAGON DRAGONS have to roll to recharge.

Also, all scalies are cancer.

Elves:
>Anõni Môz (Male)
>Anœni Mįće (Female)

No clue for first names, but I submit "Silverleaf" as the genetic elf surname.

>>52862610
I second this motion.
Generic as fuck.

>>52861922
I thought Will saves were determined by WIS.

>>52861922
Depends on the person, but people who come off as lazy most likely would have low charisma. Part of the charisma is seeming like they have stuff going on. Course there are exceptions to every rule.

Force of personality is tied to your willingness to do... anything at all.

>>52861896
Yes, because /tg/ are comprised of morons who'd want to sit down and have tea with Satan himself just because modern conventions paint the dark lord as a misunderstood figure while God is a genocidal asshole.

I blame the counter culture in response to strict religious upbringing coupled with stories that feature corrupt churches who are *gasp* actually working for Satan the entire time!!!!

>>52861896
My players are happy consorting with devils to fuck up demons.
It's not the same, but sometimes players are happy with a general direction to murder towards.

>Players want to play the whole "kill God himself" crap
>Give them a repurposed Darksiders for a campaign
>They beat "not Metatron".
>"not Samael" shows up and fucks them all up while they're wounded, claiming the throne of everything for himself.
>They get upset that the avatar of the very concept of deception betrayed them.
I still don't know what they expected or how they didn't see it coming.

>She pauses for a moment before responding
>"Because you have the lowest wisdom so you can never reveal it. IC you'd never pick up on it and you can't use your OOC character knowledge to metagame it. And even if you did nobody would believe you. And you can't tell anyone. Not even the GM knows you know."

>"Oh, and when I do finally betray the party I may or may not try to kill the character you're romantically entangled with."
>At this point I've gone through the fives stages of grief and have reached acceptence. I just wanna know if it's the truth so I ask her if she's serious
>Yet another brief pause
>I'm sorry, I can't keep this up
>I was just joking
>I couldn't resist

She insists she's joking, that she was just trolling but it fits together a little too well. Everything slots together beautifully. It's a masterclass of a twist and would be amazing if it actually happened. She says she was joking but I sorta feel like that may be her covering her ass. What do I do bros? Was she lying?

I wish she was in my game either way.

Clearly, you make this woman your next GM. Like, holy fuck, that is beautiful in terms of storytelling and opportunistic evil both IC and OOC.

Addtionally, marry this woman and never get on her bad side.

Magical psychopaths butchering the entire continent to spite God?

That's pretty much every system.

Magical Burst will work fine.

The more I look at the lightsaber trees the weirder they are.

Guardians have almost no Intellect skills and are about leading people and protecting them. Why do they use intellect for their lightsaber style?
Niman for Consulars uses Willpower. THEY HAVE ALL INTELLECT SKILLS! It's also WAY more powerful then any other lightsaber tree, as it has both +characteristic AND +Force Rating in it.
Seekers are all cavemen druids, yet their lightsaber style is about bouncing around acrobatically.
Sentinal Artisan is just really kinda bizarre. Shien gives boosts to Streetwise and Underworld, yet those aren't even class skills.

I feel like they got trapped into making them fit in a symmetrical pattern of each one using a different attribute, but then almost immediately ran out of attributes that actually made sense for each one, and started crowbaring random poo poo in. They also I think got stuck trying to make a "JEDI" version of each of the original classes, so Sentinals get their weird wizard mechanic tree, and Seekers just sorta exist in their weird hyper-focused state in general.

#JustKyloRenThings

I'm having issues finding a SW themed Tabletop.

Any other place I can look for a game? Roll20 games seem so... meh.

I've never played a SW tabletop, only DnD 5e, and I really want to find one.

I don't speak /tv/. Does bomb mean good or bad in this context?

>>52859835
Box office bomb

>>52859816
No because there's way too many "Lol look at me I'm such a neeeeerd" people that will waste money to see it even if it really does suck as a movie.

Play online. Alternatively, learn to DM and ask your friends.

>>52859586
look either online for groups or look around for local game shops, they usually host games. there are some in the san diego area if youre near there, the one i go to is called at ease games up by the miramar base

>>52859586
roll20 is the big hub for online gaming, though from my own experience you will have to go through 4 groups before you find a good one

>>52859306
Fatal. Also a thread died for this despite the fact that the answer has been known for a long time.

It used to go in all fields.

Lamentation of the Flame Princess is cringier.

FATAL merely has cringy mechanics.
