Have the bandits sell their farming gear and buy weapons, then raid the village. Rape the children and give rise to even more bandits and evil.

Good was always the hardest option anon. You need to try hard to be true noble.

The ends justify the means for evil characters

You can be the nicest guy around and save the world from every evil that besets it

But it you're doing it all so that your evil is the one that will reign supreme once nobody is left to oppose you you're still Evil.

Our party pulled off a bank heist using next to no magic. Just lots of halflings in trenchcoats and meticulous planning.

It's not a contest between you and your players, you're all there to have fun

Present players with situations that have multiple solutions. ex, attack the sleeping ogre, sneak by, or try to bribe him with food?

Allow them to TRY things, but be realistic with them about their chances of success, based on the difficulty of the challenge and the capabilities of their players.

Don't be afraid to punish them when they do dangerous shit. Attacking people in public places will get them arrested, doing backflips on the edge of a volcano might cause them to fall in, etc.

Don't tell them what to do, tell them what is happening around them and let THEM decide their goals.

How did it go?

>>52735476
Probably as the best system for mass combat in RPGs that I've ever read.

How about you think about what "souls-like" characters are even supposed to be and then portray them like that. That would work.
Otherwise, don't use memes as personalities and come up with how they'd really act

>>52734828
Souls characters often have one singular thing that keeps them going. They cling to this to avoid losing the will to live.

Siegmeyer, for example, considers himself a skilled and heroic knight. Your constant assistance is appreciated - he can't rightly insult your efforts - but they grate on him and make him realize his own failures. In the end, he fails to sacrifice himself for your safety, and loses his will to try any further. His daughter finds him at the bottom of the world, and gives him news from his wife that finally ends him.

Give them one ideal or practice that lets them cling to sanity and anchor themselves. They know this is all that's keeping them together, and it wears on them. They only have one reason to live, whether or not they want to admit it.

Also, give them all unique laughs. Sardonic laughter is charming and important for the sort of atmosphere the's characterso cultivate. People often laugh in spite of themselves.

That's a pretty cool picture. I've not read any 5E, what book is it?

>>52734670
It's in the 5th edition Dungeon Master's Guide, on page fifty-seven (57).

Personally, if we did get a "Player's Guide to Sigil", these are races I could see making an appearance, presuming that more 'common' monstrous PC type races would be better served in a Spelljamming-focused sourcebook...

* New Tiefling variants: We did get Demonic/Abyssal tieflings in one UA, so a refinement of that, and new subraces for Yugoloths and/or Night Hags and/or Succubi makes sense to me.

* New Genasi variants: Although not quite as fluid as the old Elemental Chaos, with the new Elemental Planes line-up, there's still room for Genasi outside of the Earth/Air/Water/Fire quartet. Hell, it's not like we didn't have para' and quasi' genasi in editions past.

* Githzerai: This race is pretty much the only "iconic" and original Planescape PC race we don't have in 5e so far (Genasi appeared in Princes of the Apocalypse, Tieflings in the corebook, Aasimar in Volo's Guide to Monsters). With the awesomeness that is Dak'kon now returned to PC, why not give the option to explore the Children of Zerthimon to players?

* Githyanki: I've honestly never seen the rationale for the entire githyanki race to be so blind to their own hypocricies. I feel that even if they would be a rarity as a whole, in a game where playing "the exotic" is supposed to be normal, why shouldn't "githyanki who realized Vlaakith has enslaved them" be any more unplayable than "drow who's working alongside non-drow" in an FR game?

* Bariaur: These are the third of the original Planescape Races, but I don't honestly know if WoTC could pull them off. Plus, they were always kind of goofy...

* Rogue Modron: The most famous of Planescape's races, after Planetouched and Githzerai. With Nordom now back in the public eye, why not give the chance to let people play his kinsfolk?

* Shadar-Kai: The 5e Great Wheel did retain the Shadowfell, in one of its better decisions, and Shadar-Kai were the "iconic" Shadowfell natives of 4th edition. I can't think of a better "dead realmer" to have walking the planes.

So are the Superheavy Tanks still lackluster next to Knights in this, or are some of the ones less common in 40k as good? Stuff like Malcadors, Fellblades, Typhon. Anything there worth not just taking the stompy robots instead?

BUCKLE UP BOYS

I'M GOING IN DRY

>>52729307
I sort of like the Decipher one myself, but honestly, a lot of my biggest problems with Tolkien based RPGs have more to do with the setting and less to do with whatever system you play. Don't get me wrong, I love Tolkien, the sort of guy who reads HoME and his various letters for fun, but unless you're willing to play a very specific kind of game, I don't think his world is great for an RPG. Especially not the sort of RPG that most people who are interested in Tolkien games want to play, where they're Big Dudes who wander around and fight Nazgul and hobknob with the other big cheeses of the setting.

That being said, a long time ago, I once played a very nice game which was a stealth tolkien one; it was only towards the end that we realized these raiders from across the sea were the Numenoreans in the second age.

>>52729307
Can't talk about any but "The One Ring" and that is awesome. I can't stress it enough that if there is any Middle Earth focused RP anyone should try, it's that one.
