I'm not familiar with this character. Does she make everyone and everything center around her just by her presence? Because that's what really makes a Mary Sue, the unwarranted importance. Someone can be incredibly skilled and powerful and still be a compelling character, it's when everyone acts like they're super important when they have no reason to that it crosses the line.

>Does she make everyone and everything center around her just by her presence?

Yes. She can even absorb the souls of those who die around her to supercharge herself.

>>More croneworlders
I had a couple of ideas for CEldar elite infantry units.

>Gorgons
Gorgons pursue the Slaaneshi ideal of sensation being a weapon in and of itself. They eschew conventional weaponry in favor of bizarre arrays of demonic hologram emitters, noise-makers, and more exotic sense-effecting devices. They use these to attack the minds and souls of their targets directly. At its simplest, a Gorgon's attack is simply a spray of epilepsy-inducing noise and sound, paralyzing and confusing entire companies with sheer neural overload. A more focused attack can burn out a mind entirely, causing brain-death without a single trace of physical damage. Given time in which to work, increasingly exotic effects are possible, from mass hallucinations to causing basically arbitrary mental illnesses to 'programming' a mind to respond to certain subliminal cues. A Gorgon's approach to combat varies widely by individual, ranging from full-frontal epileptic assaults to slowly programming entire regiments with subliminal cues to explode into fratricidal violence at the right moment.

Fortunately for the Imperium, the sort of absolute understanding of psychology needed to make a good Gorgon is rare; the sort of skill that allows entire regiments to be attacked at once rarer still. In addition, Gorgons are not often liked by their fellow Croneworlders. They approach sensation with a highly technical mindset, speaking of baud and bit-rate and qualia where most Croneworlders speak of overwhelming religious ecstasy. This limits how well coordinated they are on the battlefield, with the Gorgons mostly being left to go do their own thing, irrespective of where they would be most useful on the battlefield. Still, a skilled Gorgon at the wrong place at the wrong time can- and has- turned successful campaigns into catastrophes.

>>51647211
>Phalanxes (could probably use a better name)
Phalanxes form the heavy-armor assault infantry of the Croneworlders. They are sealed into suit of possesed armor, which quickly (and extremely painfully) integrate themselves into the biology of its host. Once put on, the suit cannot be removed. The armor is not actually that heavy, and Phalanxes retain most of their agility; what makes them durable is the armor's ability to shift in response to incoming threats. Lasers? The armor becomes a near-perfect mirror, reflecting the incoming fire back at the attackers. Bolters? It becomes a bizarre labyrinth of sharp angles that deflects the shells away from vital organs. Plasma? Electrically charged sea-urchin spines that disrupt the magnetic sheath of the bolt and cause it to detonate harmlessly in midair. Melee attacks? The armor can go so far as to sprout bladed limbs of its own to parry with. Almost any kind of attack in existence has some kind of counter, and the Phalanx can use them all. The armor also incorporates strength-boosting mechanisms, allowing the use of heavier-than-usual weapons, the most iconic of which is the Zweihander; a ten-foot-long power blade made for cleaving through entire ranks of men at once.

Thankfully, forging such suits of armor is time-consuming and difficult, limiting the number of Phalanxes in service. The only reliable way to overcome a Phalanxes' armor either with overwhelming force (heavy artillery, tank cannon) or by targeting them with multiple types of weapon simultaneously and hoping the armor gets 'confused' and is unable to effectively ward off them all. Among other Croneworlders, Phalanxes are both respected and pitied; the nature of the armor means that anyone who dons it effectively gives up all other sensation in favor of the heat of battle; an admirable choice in some ways, but not one most Slaaneshi would make.


Thoughts on these two?

>>51647211
So far there has been mention of "balesingers" alongside hereteks, sorcerers, and haemonculi, so they're presumably a crone aligned sort of craftsman, alike to the rest of the list. They might be the brains behind the Phalanx armors and Gorgon weapons.

And while I'm at it, are you literally asking for reasoning from the Matrix? Or any sort of thing that doesn't declare itself realistic or being hard sci-fi?

Story is gay, so nothing of value was lost. Try again, this time with a sandbox instead of a pig disgusting railroad.

>>51706534

Story gives depth to an adventure as you have more time to think about the relevence of events and...stuff

>>51706497
The solution is simple: If you can't handle the party getting killed, don't kill the party.

Lawful Good: Jumps in front of the trolley, dies, trolley continues on and kills the five.
Neutral Good: Pulls the lever. Regrets it immediately. Resets the lever. Waffles until the trolley is past the junction.

Lawful Neutral: Whatever local law says to do.
Neutral Neutral: NPCs don't get to kill characters YOU SHITTY FUCKING GM!
Chaotic Neutral: DOESNNT PULLS TEH LEVEL XD!
Lawful Evil: This was his plan all along.

Reminder that alignments are an autistic attempt to force all the depth and complexities of human behavior 9 little squares that don't work in the context of any type of actual context with at least 3 of those squares not describing anyone who's sane even in that complete vacuum of context.

>human
>dwarf
pick one.
Is he tall like the human parent? human. Short like the dwarf parent? dwarf. Since the genes for tallness/shortness are mutually exclusive, we don't bother being distinctive about half breeds. A "human dwarf" born to two human parents just happened to have expressed the dormant dwarven genes from their ancestor's crossbreeding.

>>51719259

The Last of the Mohicans soundtrack is pretty neat. It's got a distinctive soundtrack which can fit across different fantasy subgenres and chances are your players never saw the movie. So there's good chance they haven't heard it and won't get distracted by it.

Dark souls.

Some amazing Game OSTs to utilize.

Also poor word choice. "Thugs" is not a word to be written in calligraphy. Except as part of a rap album cover, I guess.

Also no. I don't believe in rewarding roleplaying. Roleplaying is the reward. It's the reason to play the game.

>>51717549
Damn straight I do, or any "in character artifacts" done with intent (IE, not scribbles on a notepad).

So far, we've had over the years....

*Maps and sketches in charcoal pencil on parchment
*Travel Journal/Official Report etc entries
*The use of key-and-lock brain teaser puzzles at the table
*Bards getting situational bonus for IRL instrument use/lyric composition.
etc
