>Can a more cartoonishly evil socity even exist?

Drow give them a run for their money

Warhammer and Warhammer 40k have tons bullshit favoritism that allows them to continue to exist and be cool in their own material while the rest of the writers ignore it and push their own faction.

They breed stupidly quickly and their leaders aren't stupid.

I don't get what you're asking for your first question.

If you have Strenght 8, Fighting 4 and close combat unarmed 4, then with an unarmed attack, such as a punch or a kick, you are going to roll to hit 1d20+8(fighting 4+CC:U 4) against the target AC. If you hit, they have to roll to resist damage with their toughness. Let's say you try to hit someone who has 4 parry and 4 toughness: they will have an AC of 14 and when you beat that, they will have to roll 1d20+4(toughness 4) against a DC of 23 (15+your strenght 8)

Secondly, you have to select your close combat skills and advantage: you can have close combat: staff, close combat: unarmed, close combat: sword et cetera... so if you have fighting 8 all your close combat skills will be 8, regardless of anything else. If you are planning on using improvised weapons, if you have close combat: unarmed 8 then you can use those those weapons without having (putting it in D&D terms) "proficiency".

Let's say you have unarmed combat skill at 8, when your fighting ability is 4: you would not be able to use a sword as well as your unarmed combat (your sword skill is equal to your fighting ability: 4) while your punches are unarmed combat 8 (a much higher chance to hit). So if you take Improvised weapon as an advantage, you can now use a ladder or a baby as an improvised weapon with your Close combat: Unarmed skill (8), instead of selecting another skill Close Combat: ladders/staff/chair.

If you are planning to throw the improvised weapon, though, that falls into the category of Throwing. So you would have to get Ranged Combat: Throwing, if you want to have the ability to throw improvised weapons.

>>50871866
You actually mostly answered my question in your example of the 23, so it's 15 plus damage rank. As far as the improvised weapon advantage, I guess what I'm asking is this: I have no skill ranks in any close combat whatsoever, *just* STR and FGT. Is there any point to taking the improvised weapons advantage, in that case?

For the part you missed, look at the Y axis in pic related. Is that number the total of their resistance check toll plus their appropriate resistance bonus, like toughness? So if they roll a 12 and have a toughness of 5, I'd look at 17 along the y axis and then find the result by cross referencing the 15+damage rank along the x axis. Does that make sense?

This site is hopelessly cucked and I abandoned it long ago, I made the thread solely as a favor for a friend.

Who got banned for making a joke comparing Trump to the God-Emperor.

Sage for off-topic.

Call him a faggot for having such little faith in his fellow OPs

And then call yourself a faggot for actually using the term cucked.

I've got a character or two I'd like to play, but I'm pretty happy to adapt to what the setting demands and what will work best with the rest of the party. Sling me a message on Discord (Jibbles#4383).

>>50913259
Depends on the setting.

>>50913259
try playing something less obscure

>>50913259
I have a similar question, not so much on the roleplaying aspect or anything as I already have that worked out with the GM, but mechanically. I'm in a Pathfinder group and I don't think we're using much 3PP stuff at all. Currently I'm between a twilight arcanist and a cleric with the undeath domain or something. I've also been thinking about adjusting my role a little bit and doing a plague witch, maybe a gravewalker.

Thoughts?

I don't have one. What do you put in it?

>>50912694

What I played, when I played it, with who, who won, what was my mindset or emotional state that night, various detailed observations about the other players etc.

flat screen built in to your gaming table?

That's pretty cool. And useful.

I hope you have fun in your next session, like this guy.

My party has used the same tokens that the dm printed out three years ago. I bought a few dark heaven minitures for the party, but I'm waiting to buy the rest when we start our new campaign.

Tau are so bad :(

>>50908873

Read the Badab wars (Mega in the OP has a PDF), I am pretty sure they have some bits and bobs in there, due to the fact that they are a FW faction.

Also check this dude's Carcharadon's out! They are amazing.

I had the book of published cards, given out a the Scholastica book fair.

Loved it, but never played.

What to steal various mechanics for my own card games.

>>50907869
What's the lore/flavor? A buddy of mine gave me a box of mostly MtG cards with a handful of these at the bottom.

I played it. It was awesome.
Balance was kind of awkward though.

There were a few really broken cards in the early sets.
Spiral Gate comes to mind, if you had Water you always took 4. Best bounce in the game.
But Soulswap was absolutely disgusting. Every deck and their uncle splashed Nature for it. It could:
• Remove a creature (but provide a dreg).
• Induce summoning sickness.
• Recur an etb trigger.
• Cheat a creature in to play a turn early.
And it was super cheap the cast. Making that last one especially disgusting.
AND it had Shield Tigger. Shit was bananas.

The meta was all jacked up for the entirety of it's English translation. Because most creatures can't block, it was all aggro all the time.
You might run a few evo creatures, but you aimed to flood the board with cheap shit.
Obvious problem there, is that the flagship rares were all big stompy cards aimed at Timmy. And they were shit.
So they released bigger and stompier cards for Timmy. And they were still shit.
Eventually they made a Timmy card that was just barely good enough to be viable.
Which was a very fine line though, since you were essentially guaranteed.

Anyways, the set after translations stopped added a cheap (and SHield Trigger) boardwipe that only hit small creatures.
Which fixed everything forever, but again, set after translation stopped.

Just because my handwriting is shit doesn't mean I'm not paying attention.

Don't worry gm.
I have everything in my head.

Y'know all those things that you can't read?

They change more often than the ones you can. This means that they are constantly rubbing them out and changing them.

It's why I print out new character sheets for any character I control when they level.
