Just round the corner now, here's a card pool generator at http://www.magicdrafting.com/aether-revolt-sealed , share anything silly/good you've built in practice!

Is control a real archetype?
Are Energy archetypes still legitimate?
How easy do you think Revolt will be to pull off in Limited?

But most importantly, what's your snazzy Aether Revolt tech?

I've got a feeling UW Fliers is going to be a pretty strong archetype; did some goldfishing with a sealed build that was running Metallic Mimic set on Bird which was pretty intimidating.

I've been brewing Sealed pools all day, and most of the time even if I can't build anything good I can at least build something funny.

3x Consulate Turret in UG Energy with Trophy Mage to find them is extremely bad, but possibly worth playing anyway.

He second-guessed the Emperor's prohibition on the practice of sorcery. The Council of Nikea ruled that warpcraft was strictly off limits, but Magnus, in his folly, believed that he could prove its merit and he, along with his legion, continued to indulge in esoteric studies in spite of the ban.

Because of this, Magnus was able to prophecy Horus' betrayal and sought to earn the Emperor using his magics - overwhelming the wards around the Emperor's Palace and irreparably damaging the Webway portal the Emperor was secretly working to repair, allowing daemons to flood into the compromised section and attack Earth directly.

Magnus' folly was hubris.

Sup /tg/

I'm in a 5e campaign with some friends and rolled paladin. The world it is set in is pretty cool so I've bought in and have been taking it seriously. I made a backstory that could lead to my paladin's fall and have been rping quite well with what the DM has been throwing at us. But the other members of the group seem to be just faggots save for a couple of players. One doesn't even pay attention to what is going on and fucks up during combat because he hasn't bothered to read up on how the game works. Another is the self proclaimed leader of the group and he's an edgelord who ninjas shit and causes terrible scenarios for the rest of the group. And another guy who plays a warlock that fires his spells out of a gun and says the cringiest fucking shit all the fucking time in a terrible rp voice. Then our cleric refuses to heal and afks during combat and complains to the dm after being skipped.

I spent a good deal of time developing my character and I looked into the other player's backgrounds and they are just complete shit compared to mine.

The gm is a good friend of mine and has asked me to write up some side quests to keep me and two other players enthralled in the game.

Is DnD doomed to be shit because of this type of garbage? They all talk about how they watch this dnd series on jewtube and how they love it but when it comes to actually playing their autism surfaces.

Help.

Land is considered an extremely precious resource by the largest sapient groups in the setting (empires, corporations, whatever it turns out to be) due to the inherent difficulties of gathering resources, building infrastructure and general society management on the oceans. This extends beyond the ranges of standard territorial desire present within our own world's history, obviously.

How many positive traits can an NPC have before they hit Mary Sue-dom?

See one of my NPCs has been alive for a very, very long time, he's a lich, but the sort of lich that keeps their body alive to fit in (don't question it too much, it took a lot for him to do, in universe.) and as such mostly fits in with normal people.

Why I bring this up is because, outside of having some sort of PTSD, he lacks any defined negatives, and he's reaching skill levels where I'm concerned he's becoming a Mary Sue.

He's a master of most types of magic, a decent swordsman, and an excellent marksman. He's functionally immortal and extremely politically powerful (though doesn't do much with it due to bad experiences in power).

Anyway, sorry for the ramble. Just wondering what's your take on what makes a Mary Sue.

Could the character conceivably be a "normal" person in the setting? Exceptional even? Or do they get away with the kind of bullshit only a "main character" could do.

Normal people are fine. Exceptional people are fine. "Main characters" need to stay in anime and videogames. You're a sue when things start to become a power fantasy and the character in question stops being relateable on any level except "hurr, I'm a badass!"

Just for a revolt you need a bunch of unhappy people, but for a revolution you need a distinct change how the society functions. With the old roles being shaken and some rendered obsolete, there's a power imbalance that can be used to shift the nation into a new direction.

Alright /tg/ ill leave a tl;dr below, I'm making a simple system for me and my buddies to play, more free form than D&D less Convoluted than gurps. Not trying to be special, just enjoyable.

I came on here last week asking which kind of Damage system was preferred
Attack VS Defense
or
Attack VS Armor Class

Majority said static was better. Now I'm trying to determine the damage of a longsword. Most systems use Longsword as the medium damage dealt, its a good in-between, so if i figure out longsword i can figure out the rest from there.

Characters at lvl 1 will have average 16-20 health. If you beat their defense you will deal damage.

Do you prefer
roll dice for damage
or
weapon has a set damage.

And!

How much health should it take out? a fourth? so four successful swings should kill them?
Less
or
more?


tl;dr
roll dice for damage
or
weapon has a set damage.
and
How many swings should kill a person?

>>51181088
Unless there is a hit location keyed to the to-hit roll, I would usually prefer static + difference for damage.

Meaning if opponent has AC 14, and I roll 16, my damage is (Weapon + (16-14) = Weapon + 2).

If the hit location is keyed to to-hit, damage die from weapon works best. Alternative to modifier, however, I would use XdYk1, where X is the damage modifier (say, strength) and Y is the weapon die. And then you choose the best die from those. That way stronger people hit harder on average, but it doesn't create damage bloat.

How many hits should kill?

I hate static HP pools. I'm the roll-against-wounds fag. Meaning you gain wounds as you get damaged, and every time you get hit you roll against the new wound amount. Rolling under means you keel. This means you might keel from the very first hit, but you can also tough it out for a long time. Of course, there should be something to resist keeling over, such as metacurrency.

And this is to unconsciousness, death should be a somewhat similar roll once you've keeled. Keep the players rolling instead of making rounds where they don't roll for anything.

Ironically my own game system uses none of these, except roll-under-wounds, with a twist.
>>
>>51181088
I prefer damage tied to classes/characters actually, and weapons only having tags (some tags, like "two handed", could improve damage, while other tags could have other effects). Aside from that, I prefer static damage numbers, personally.

This way the weapon is just a tool, and the damage depends on the user. A dagger in the hands of a fighter will be a lot more dangerous than in the hands of a wizard (although they both have access to its "light" and "throwing" properties).

>How many hits should kill?

This is a good question. How long do you want combat to last on average?
>>
Honestly, roll for damage. I've played flat damage but it's so anti climactic. There's a reason we've done dice all these years. It also leads to easier min maxing

Spell hits graveyard after state based effects (such as damage and death) are resolved, so zombie is dead before bolt hits the graveyard.

he says

- Cast lightning bolt
- Its not countered
- Hits zombie
- Zombie reduced to 0 life (but still on field until resolves)
- Lightning bolt sent to graveyard before zombie is sent to graveyard
- giving zombie +1/+1

i believed both would be sent at the same time,
