Your character has been blessed by the gods! They are now the chosen emissary of Aphrodite, goddess of love. They now have the powers of becoming a demigod version of the goddess and use a limited form of her portfolio during that period.
Downside is they also gain her appearance during these periods.
How does your character react to this blessing? You probably need to state who they are for context.

Alright my only real question here is:
How does the period work. Because I can deal with becoming and overpowered naked lady but I don't want to have coochie bleedings.

Whether it's weird interpretations of dice rolls or just completely unexpected roleplay what are some of the strangest turns your campaign has taken? (not including lolrandumb)
to start off so far my group has:
>kicked an NPC to death to try and wake them up.
>raised a dead PC as a zombie and unintentionally had it attack their family.
>had a Bard that played at a Greatclub
>a PC that survived a dragon encounter by being tentacle raped
>a Paladin that sired a bastard with a prostitute
>been waterboarded
>unknowingly released a succubus and given her shelter
>more or less come to the consensus that cannibalism is ok.
>one PC from the original band (all other players have had to reroll multiple times)
and we're a low level neutral/good party .

Have a tale of complete communication fail.
>Party's been hanging out in this city for awhile, doing quests for a countess.
>Be me playing wizard
>Sit a quest out to do some research and make some magic items while they go on an "easy" quest to deal with some rowdy sailors harassing the citizens
>While the party is on this quest, the party gets attacked by legit assassins.
>Party survives, comes back, doesn't mention any of this to me.
>Basically repeat this a few more times, party members getting attacked by assassins and such while I'm working on crafting stuff (crafting rules suck and take days of work).
>Party decides to do some investigating and figures out the countess we've been working for has basically finished using us and wants to kill us now to "tie up loose ends".
>Again the party does not tell me any of this in character.
>After foiling her assassins so many times, she tries a new tactic and tries to have us arrested on trumped up charges.
>Guards come to the inn to arrest us, the other party members all GTFO.
>Keep in mind I haven;t been told any of this yet, so like a dumbass my character just stands there and lets himself get arrested because he thinks it's some misunderstanding that can be diplomancer'd.
>Cue my character getting dragged off to a secret torture dungeon for enemies of the state without any kind of trial or judicial oversight, tortured like it's a metal gear scene, and taking permanent stat penalties from it.
>Eventually manage to metal-gear my way out of this prison and find the rest of the party.
>"Hey bro, why didn't you run earlier?"
Fucking shiteaters.

>>52461515
>been waterboarded
at that point we were doing Forge of Fury for dnd 3.5 and we came upon the Roper. We fought it and halfway through combat we realized we couldn't kill it and tried diplomacy. we came to the arrangement that half the party would go off and get some dead orcs for it to eat if it would let our teammates go. while the Roper was waiting he waterboarded half the party by dunking them in a nearby stream.
>kicked an NPC to death to try and wake them up.
our party was going through The Sunless Citadel when they came upon this sleeping kobold dragonpriest in what looked like the remains of a dragon stable. all we had to do was wake the guy up, intimidate him a little, and he'd be our free diplomacy pass through the kobold area. our fighter who was roleplaying as a town guard decided to go Full Metal Jacket on the kobold and kick him awake. our DM made him roll to hit (i think to give the fighter a chance to miss and fall on his ass) so the fighter rolls.
>nat20
roll for damage
>max
in the words of the DM "the kobold flies 30 feet across the room and hits the wall with an audible crack of bone. you killed Meepo dude."

So, /tg/, here's an idea I've been playing with for a rules-lite, generic medieval fantasy system.
Long story short, I want a system that is more streamlined, and more accurately represents swordfighting, than the "take turns rolling to hit" most systems do.
So far, this is what I came up with:
Melee combat is a contested roll of 2d6. Higher roll is the attack die, lower roll is the damage die.
Combat Advantage (momentum, higher ground, support, etc.): Roll 3d6 instead of 2d6, and discard lowest roll.
Edge (better equipment, skill, physical conditions, etc.): +1, +2, or +3 attack modifier at GM's discretion.
Winner of contested attack roll calculates damage as
weapon damage x damage die vs armor class (AC).
If attack roll is a 6 (before modifiers), the hit is critical.
weapon type: Weapon damage/critical damage
Light: 1/3 (knife, dagger, improvised)
standard: 2/3 (sword, axe, mace, etc.)
Heavy: 3/4 (longsword, pole axe, etc.)
Armor Class:
shield only: 4 (5 with helmet)
helmet only: 4 (5 with shield)
light armor: 5 (6 with helmet or shield, 7 with both)
heavy armor: 7 (8 with helmet or shield, 9 with both)
plate armor: 10 (11 with helmet or shield, 12 with both)
Additionally, helmet grants +1 AC vs critical hits, shield wins draws (unless both combatants have shields).
If calculated damage is greater than Armor, the target is Wounded. Otherwise, target is dazed (grants advantage).
If already dazed, target is stunned (grants both advantage, and edge). If already stunned, target is knocked out.

What about multiple opponents against one?
>>
>>52460790
I was thinking along the lines of "add one extra die per additional combatant, and use the normal rules for advantage/edge"
>>
>>52460790
Just an extra 1d6, I assume.
I would personally divide the weapons between 1h and 2h.
and a separate category for professional weapons and tools.

poisons, barbs (theres this one fucking cactus thats like a land mine with its spines), animate vines if they have the energy to burn, almost all drugs are derived from plant chemicals, and parasitic growth via mold/other shit
there's tons more, look up that one toxic garden and creepy plant shit.
source: ran a game once where the players killed the guy who was supposed to be the arc villain, so I made the actual villain this guy who could control plants they met earlier.
thing is he wasn't that strong so I had to get creative.
turns out he became one of the greatest villains I've ever made

By playing them straight.
Is Warcraft the only setting where Orcs are an actual major race instead of being cannon fodder?
>Lich King was an Orc
>they actually destroyed one human kingdom
>they are not mindlessly evil
>have battleships with cannons instead of going ''hurr fuck technology''
>plenty of important characters are form the Horde
their relationship with Humans is also well done neither of them are really evil but both have pretty valid reasons to hate each other and they will never truly get along yet are not in a state of perpetual warfare.
Compare it to Shithammer where every race is one dimensional as fuck and both Orcs and human factions are lame because they don't act like people at all they are caricatures of some trope and every single member of their race is a clone. Fuck Warhammer.

You seem to be under the misconception that the Warcraft 3 "noble savage" orcs are in any way a standard interpretation of what an orc is.
Warcraft 1+2 were closer to their inspirations.

It's probably been discussed to death, but what are your solutions for dealing with criminally undercosted units like Celestine? I fought against her last night and between her, her cheerleaders, and a squad of Seraphim, it took 8 Meltagun hits and 18 Lascannon shots to kill her once.
She didn't come back because the game ended on my turn. I barely won the game by one single VP cause I managed to kill her.
>200 pts
>2 Power Swords (30)
>Relic Blade (25pts)
>Heavy Flamer (10pts)
>2+/4++ (40pts)
>4++ on her cheerleaders (50pts)
>Eternal Warrior (25pts)
>180pts for wargear and we haven't even hit the statline or paid for the models
Balanced.

Traveller is a classic science fiction system first released in 1968. In its original release it was a general purpose SF system, but a setting was soon developed called The Third Imperium, based on classic space opera tropes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a slight noir tint.
Though it can support a wide range of game types, the classic campaign involves a group of retired veterans tooling around in a spaceship, taking whatever jobs they can find in a desperate bid to stay in business, a la Firefly or Cowboy Bebop.

Modernize what you like. I like a bit of zeerust in my games, but it's your table.
If you're using the OTU be careful with cybernetics, as they're viewed with suspicion in the Imperium. Mobile computing and cellphone stuff can be a fun way to mess with players, as out on the frontier many worlds may try to push their own standards and make your stuff not work with their network. This forces you to buy local phones for access, and as a bonus, may allow local secret police to listen in on offworld agitators and troublemakers.

This game is an OSR game, which essentially means it's all about dungeon crawling, old school play, and high difficulty. You will create interesting, unique, bombastic characters only for them to die in some hole somewhere. You will learn to enjoy this. Your goal in this game is to steal treasure from dungeons and tombs, and almost always that means that fighting isn't useful, it's almost always far better to avoid combat or talk it out then to fight!
As for the setting, you're in for a treat. Have you ever wanted to play in a high fantasy world, with all kinds of magic and question? Where Wizards are not assumed to have the lock and key to all magic, and there is all number of fantastic races. Have you ever wanted to be a catfish person? Or a sheep man? Well you're in luck.
So come on down and send me a message! Maybe we can find each other fitting.And as always, have fun!
