Not that one. 3 Mana is too much.

I know not that one, I'm saying other cards you'd think would

>>52700175
Probably none. Gideon has the highest chance, but even he seems not enough.

Context.

>>52699834
Easy, have a personality beyond writing LG on your character sheet and calling it a day.

By making them a good character, with interesting elements to their personality beyond their profession and morality?

It really isn't that hard, and it's such a broad question it's impossible to give a more meaningful answer than that.

The skills mostly focus the PC to build and produce gadgets. I was thinking more on the lines of Mechanic, Tinker, Artificer, etc.

Science teacher.

Just give him love

Pretty much.

I once had an overzealous paladin and cleric that went out of their way to bind the God of Evil to the material plane so that they and the rest of the party could kill her. 'Course, doing that only ended with the partial unravelling of reality as their own deity was forced to assume the mantle of the new God of Evil in order keep most of creation from crumbling apart.

As you can imagine, they both lost their divine powers — along with every other divine spellcaster, mind you. It kind'a put the two on a lot of peoples' shit lists until they were able to regain their powers.

Twist: Whoever kills it takes its place

>>52698736
Philia brings Harli and robot berserker over to Bazdilot's place and they fight. The robot berserker has the ability to absorb electricity from cables in the ground, and absorb rubble to make itself bigger, and has some sort of optic camouflage (that also silences it entirely) skill. It surprises and puzzles everyone including Franchesca.

The masterminds behind the war (Faldeus' calls up a general in Washington) have measures put into place to wipe the entire city clean if things get out of control. The berserker/Alkeides fight gets close so Franchesca sends Prelati over to stop them with his NP, Grand Illusion, which has the power to make an illusion strong enough to fool the world itself (the damage done by the fight looks like it's undone and is physically undone, but this is because he fooled the texture of the world itself and it will be wrecked again after several days; Faldeus has to use this time to prepare to handle the damage). Both sides in the fight strike a deal with Prelati, but no further details are given.

>Wasn't the prevailing theory it was Ahura Mazda?
She literally calls on the bull which takes on the form of a giant typhoon in the last line in the novel and Narita says in the afterword that she was the real reason why he waited for chapter 7 (Ishtar was always going to be in SF from the beginning, then he heard about FGO and waited)


Ayaka has a dream where she sees Richard's past, in which Saint Germain shows up in front of Richard in a time-travelling automobile, and he addresses her directly in the dream even though it's Richard's memory.

Jester is sleeping under Tsubaki's bed, and infiltrates her dream in the form of a little boy, in order to manipulate her to use Pale Rider to fuck up more people: For example he tells her about a "fire" where the Berserker fight is happening in order to make her hope the people who live near there are okay, and that results in Pale Rider brainwashing everyone in that area.

>>52698737
Duma asks Orlando to send over some of the police officers including the guy who lost his arm fighting Jester. He seems to be using a new NP which turns people themselves into heroes or something, but nothing about that's been actually revealed yet.

Flat notices Pale Rider and heads to the police station and tells Orlando everything, They team up to do something about Pale Rider and save Tsubaki, but there's a spy within the police and Alkeides shows up too trying to kill Tsubaki. Alkeides has the NP King's Order which lets him summon stuff from his legends (it's suggested that there are twelve), including Cerberus. Jack fights him and combines his two NPs, From Hell (from the idea that Jack the Ripper was a literal demon, which turns the area around him into the popular image of hell with fire and brimstone, and transforms him into a FGO demon) and Natural Born Killers (from the idea that Jack the Ripper was not one person but a bunch of unrelated people: Which lets him multiply. The max number depends on the master's mana, and with Flat's he can get up to over 500 clones) which results in 200 demons wailing on Alkeides at the same time (200+ is the max number of clones he can get while using both NPs at the same time).

Alkeides uses a new NP, Reincarnation Pandora, which lets him steal someone else's NP. He steals From Hell and grows demon horns and wings and beats Jack.

Gilgamesh, and Richard and fake assassin show up at the very end after Jack retreats.

And Hippolyte and Enkidu do literally nothing in the whole book.

Duma comes out of hiding (his workshop was underground) babbling about how it's time for his heroes' (the police officers') to shine, while activating an NP, Musketeers' Masquerade.

>>52698746
In the epilogue: Faldeus is questioned by the general from Washington about a bunch of mysterious deaths of VIPs in the government. He looks it up and finds that the deaths are spreading outwards from the location of the mafia boss (Bazdilod's boss) he sent Hassan to kill, and he thinks this is Hassan's doing (it's not his orders though).

Philia is standing on top of Francesca's workshop (a zeppelin) calling upon Gugalanna which is taking on the form of a typhoon 800 km in diameter.

Novel ends here.

Narita's afterword also says that he only managed to do half of what he originally planned for volume 4 (he just started writing and then realised at the halfway point that he'd already had an entire novel worth of text).

In here Watcher is just shown as having the ability to see and hear literally everything (though it can't read thoughts). Also the shadows refer to Watcher in the third person so they aren't actually Watcher themselves.

Flat can see things nobody else can that's all true, but it's not really said what exactly it is he can do, and he WAS checked for having mystic eyes and he doesn't have any.

>Can you give specifics on Reincarnation Pandora? Like, what the exact limitations are?'
His profile's not in, only Prelati and Jack, so all we know is that it "steals" NPs.

Also, Prelati can't use his spellbook (which is listed as EX rank) because he gave it to Gilles. It has to be returned to him by Gilles "on the soul level" for him to be able to use it again.


According to Narita: FGO Ishtar is Ishtar mixed with Rin. Philia is an empty vessel so SF Ishtar is 100% Ishtar in personality.

Other people like Alkeides say that she's not the actual Ishtar, but "the broken code of a goddess" or "remaining echoes", though. Alkeides does go straight for her at the first encounter because he hates gods and all but by the latter part of the book he's just going "eh she's not even the real thing".

From the lich and hole thread last week, I decided to pop an easy mode varient into my game:
>Party returns home to find a lich has been hanging around the village.
Barby: Lich, what's the deal? What's that crystal you're wearing?
Lich: Ahh, this is my magical phylactery, the source of my arcane power.
>Party is suspicious.
Lich: I am in need of a domicile for my studies and this shack will do nicely. I shall pay you this princely sum and enchant your weapons if you would like to place them in this hole until the morrow.
>Lich hands the party a sack containing 1200 copper pieces.
>Party is suspicious.
>Barby decides to leave a looted goblin saber in the hole and sneaks up at night to see what the lich does with it.
>Lich sharpens the saber with a whetstone and cuts a piece of string to test it.
Lich: Excellent! Another masterwork of my formidable enchanting powers.

>That GM hijacks game night to intro his new campaign.

>He's out of ideas after 20 minutes, he tells us this. He introduced some setting components but refused to let us interact with them. Every player suggestion to start a story was shot down.

>He falls back into all his old patterns running Generic Delivery Quest #0001, that takes us further from the parts of the setting that might be interesting.

>Upon approaching an inn, we were told we could here inexpertly played music drifting on the wind, and my character, declared it was probably elvish. I was immediately informed by That GM it was a halfling minstrel, although having not yet had time to step inside and see this, I chose not to act upon this. My character bullshitted with the armed guards at the door and stepped inside to behold a halfling minstrel playing a mandolin. While others conducted business he approached the minstrel, listened and threw him a gold coin, "for music lessons from a human musician." He then added, "everyone knows elves have no ear for the mandolin"

>The Inn quietened. Two armed guards approached him and asked him to take back that comment or be thrown out. My character repeated his opinion and added that "elves can't shred mandolin."

>That GM asked for my character sheet, he closely perused the alignment (good), he handed it back, obviously dissatisfied.

>One of the guards held my character, unresisting, while the other removed their helm to reveal they were an elf all along, and challenged my character to repeat his opinion again. He did. He was punched in the stomach for 3 damage.

>My character demanded the elf prove me wrong, by playing the mandolin right there, but he was kneed in the groin.

>The GM told me to rescind my opinion or he would have to tear up my character sheet.

>It turns out, this was a hill I was willing to die on. I refused and handed my sheet back.

>The game ended for the night.

>>52697081
Well shit man. To be fair, they can't shred the mandolin, so thumbs up for sticking to your guns, fuck GM's who threaten to kill your character straight up.

>>52696494
They're no different.

>1e d&d thread?

We have one of those, it's called the OSR General, and it covers AD&D 1e/2e, OD&D, and Basic, as well as retroclones thereof. >>52687443

>>52696319

>snotnosed punk detected

High level 2e Fighters are walking ginsu machines who shrug off spells and murderize everything in their path. BECMI fighters with weapon mastery are similar.
Anything that might prove an obstacle for them alone can be handled by calling on their army of fighters and soldiers and maybe a couple siege engines from their castle.
3e was the first D&D edition where fighters sucked.

>>52696815
Yeah I like the osr thread a lot, didn't mean to step on any toes. This is just for 1e ad&d. I should have specified the A part in ad&d.

>>52696161
Yes, but there are also current aliens.
Most are 30 feet tall.
Humans get transforming jets to compensate.

If by "my setting" you mean "Warhammer Fantasy" then "yes".

>>52696181

I can sympathize, I am in fact a 30 foot tall alien myself. My humans don't have transforming jets, though.

We're currently trying not to kill an entire civilization over a misunderstanding.
