What if, every time you cast lay on hands or a healing spell, it became weaker? In other words, you are not respecting your (bloody pagan) god's gift and wasting it on those who would see themselves come to harm.
The most powerful healing miracles would therefore take place out of sight, when no one was around, reserved for the particularly pious yet foolhearty.
>>52745007
I prefer the Dark Souls lore for Miracles, that the Power isn't gifted from a higher being, but that the power comes from the story of the miracle itself, from a song, epic, poem, etc - The recitation of when the impossible became possible inspires, and from that inspiration, power derives.
And as such, you can have Clerics and Paladins who use divine miracles for whatever reason suits them, whether they genuinely are trying to be heroic, or they seem heroic in order to gull and deceive.
But then again, I tend to prefer it when people get their own shit done without having to rely on higher powers deciding to dole out iotas of power for contrived reasons or rules.

Man, that is a lousy image.
Is it trying to refer to the Saracens in Italy, or the Turks who were giving Constantinople a tough time in Anatolia?
Neither of which I'd really call "invasions."

Say I want a character to have a powered armor/frame with the power of goes fast. What way to explain this power would keep the tech level the lowest possible? Since powered exoskeletons replicate the user's movements and thus wouldn't move faster than the user himself, would something like a neural interface that controls the frame directly without needing to move the body work? By the way, when I say going fast I mean human movement, no something like strapping a jet on the back and flying around like Iron Man.
Also, lets have a power armor/exoskeleton thread if you want.
Enough power and reinforcement and you can just take longer strides. Possibly MUCH longer strides.The right kind of strength and stride boosts could keep the step to step timing close enough to a normal walk that you just eat the miles.
>>52744190
You mean the main constriction would be the brain?
You can just say people get used to going at super speeds after a while, neuroplasticity and whatever
>>52744190
Jumping stilts are probably the lowest tech you could go. Those just increase the length of strides that can be made, lets people today run as quickly as low-speed vehicles with low effort. Slap some power onto that and it would work suitably, I think.
Alright, let's bloody the knuckles and get down into the fight pits.
Who is the #1 deadliest warrior in all of 40k? Crunch and lore, duel and slaughter.
Rules:
> Must have been represented in the crunch at least once, though in-game stats are not the end-all
> Must be an single warrior. Full vehicle crews don't count. Creatures without a personality or made up of an amalgamation do count, however, as long as they're permanently fused as one warrior.
>Non-canon characters count if they can be represented in official crunch. IE: kitted out Chapter Masters, custom Warbosses, etc.
Who's showed off the most badassery in the fluff? Who can wipe the tabletop to almost unfair levels? Who doesn't care if they're going one-on-one or stomping through tarpits?
Fight!
As a single character? Roboute Guilliman is currently unsurpassed and will win all hero duels.
For a single model? Wraithknight

Well the way it works is that there are conditions in which you can't dodge or parry, the way it works is that such things get around Perfects by saying they are not-applicable. Some Perfects are so Perfect they explicitly say you can block even the unblockable/Dodge the Undodgeable. Perfects are expensive and have some odd interactions with such spell and techniques.

This might be a better question for /k/ but I'm wondering what would be a better configuration for a battery powered mechanical crossbow?
1. The bow is placed vertically and a magazine of bolts set on the side or have it in it's normal horizontal configuration.
After much consideration I figure the bow doesn't need to be very long accounting for futuristic smart materials for the bow and string to get the needed tension to make the bolts deadly but which configuration would be better overall?
>>52742713
Horizontal is generally used so it gravity feeds rather than using a spring or similar mechanical device to push the bolts into position on the crossbow (often with something to arrest the next-to-most-recent-bolt from faling into the mechanism before the current bolt has fired).
The real trouble is figuring out where to put sights on a crossbow - guns tend to feed from the bottom or sides so sights can go on top, but with a top feeding system you can't put them on top, but with a side feeding system and a vertically aligned bow you still can't have sights on top of it.
Of course, if you're motorising the pulling mechanism of a crossbow I'd suggest ignoring the cross part of the bow in favor of something like this CD gun design:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6NpoUk62CM
Should get a faster firing rate with something like that, as you just spin up and push bolts into contact with the spinny bit.
>>52742713
To be honest with you, a "battery powered mechanical crossbow" is just a gun. You're just swapping gunpowder with a technobabble string and motors at this point. You're actively pursuing a worse alternative here. It would be easier to get a large gun and strap bow-like cosmetics over it, then call it "crossbow" when people ask.
>>52745575
Angled magazine, to allow for regular sights with a internal polybolos style feed mechanism or a spanning bar connected airsoft style partial gear. You would still need a substantial motor/battery to account for anything remotely powerful, let's say at least 100lbs at 12 inches. 6-10 inch bolts. Single stack magazine to allow for standard two-fun military bolt fleching to remain undamaged.
I'm looking for a easy to play and enjoyable board game or card games for about 3-6 people. You guys got any recommendations.

What would a fantasy campaign setting based on Colonial-Era America look like?
>>52740262
Like another cringefest made by burgers pushing for shit-tier setting to feel revelant and cover for the fact that's the best they can do for "historical knowledge".
Every fucking day at the same time we get this thread. Shit's stale, aramrite
>>52740262
Have some native tribes, both hostile and friendly. Some independend states and two big coalitions, one against slavery and one for it?
Aside from that maybe add some sort of conspiracy like the freemasons and something to differentiate it from normal america? Like steampunk or cattlepunk?
>>52740300
Why do you assume I like the concept because I want to circlejerk about my nation's historywhich I kinda want to do desu? The main reason I like the concept is because I like the idea of fantasy races settling a new frontier they aren't used to.
Also, I haven't seen a thread about making fantasy based on American history in awhile.
