Tezzeret, ???
2UB
Planeswalker - Tezzeret

[+1]: Create a colorless artifact token named Etherium Stone which has "T, Sacrifice this: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool."

[-2]: Target creature get +X/-X until end of turn where X is the number of artifacts you control.

[-7]: You get an emblem with "At the beginning of your combat phase, target artifact you control becomes a 5/5 artifact creature."

[5]


Do note that the emblem animating an artifact is permanent. Still feels underwhelming though.

I feel like he might be another liliana the last hope, but thats just me being a conspiracy theorist

>>50773667
I wouldn't say you're far off the dot. He's a little tricky to evaluate as a whole, but it's clear he's meant to be a multitool for artifact-centric decks. UB would especially enjoy it considering those two colors hold the best Gearhulks in Kaladesh.

I would say the best color you could run him with is White, which I feel has a good thing going when it comes to Artifact usage.

Wasn't doing that how they created the emperor in the first place?

>>50773109
It was I think, which is why I'm curious if repeating the process could make a similar being, and if that being could be used to fight Chaos in the Emperor's stead.

>>50772889
What I've wondered is what if you combined Souls from diffrent races? Like say the Tau say "Hey, you know that Emperor guy was pretty cool and powerful, let's make one of our own!" but because even Ethereals have relatively small souls, they had to throw in some others as well. A super being made of the Tau, Human, Kroot, and Vespoid souls.

How would it think and act? Would it be sane? Would it be greater than the sum of its parts with the different parts cancelling out the bad, or would it be a Mad abomination, unable to logically think? Would it be the Greater Good personified, loyal to the Tau Empire and it's citizens, or would it just bugger off and do it's own thing?

Earth, for its connotations with the cold and material, the underworld, burial, etc.

>>50772879
I'd say earth magic. It's natural for the dead to return to the earth. Using magic to keep them here or pull them up from the dirt and dust sounds to me like earth magic. I could see fire magic though, if you consider the soul a type of symbolic flame such that manipulating it through necromancy counts as fire magic.

Air because formless spirits belong there.

>>50750906
A Tarrasque. It says so right in the filename. Are you feeling alright anon?

>>50750906
Your daddy

>>50750906
The legend of the Tarasque is reported in several sources, but especially in the story of St. Martha in the Golden Legend.[2] The creature inhabited the area of Nerluc in Provence, France, and devastated the landscape far and wide. The Tarasque was a sort of dragon with a lion's head, six short legs like a bear's, an ox-like body covered with a turtle shell, and a scaly tail that ended in a scorpion's sting.[3] Other legends report it as living on the modern site of the Chateau Tarascon; i.e. on a rock in the midst of the Rhone. According to the Golden Legend "There was, at that time, on the banks of the Rhone, in a marsh between Arles and Avignon, a dragon, half animal, half fish, thicker than an ox, longer than an horse, with teeth like swords and big as horns, he hid in the river where he took the life of all passers-by and submerged vessels. " "Sainte Marthe". L'Abbaye Sainte Benoit. Retrieved 28 Jan 2013.
The Tarasque was said to have come from Galatia, which was the home of the legendary Onachus, a scaly, bison-like beast which burned everything it touched (this creature is similar to the Bonnacon). The Tarasque was the offspring of the Onachus and the Leviathan of biblical account; disputably a giant sea serpent.
The king of Nerluc had attacked the Tarasque with knights and catapults to no avail. But Saint Martha found the beast and charmed it with hymns and prayers, and led back the tamed Tarasque to the city. The people, terrified by the monster, attacked it when it drew nigh. The monster offered no resistance and died there. Martha then preached to the people and converted many of them to Christianity. Sorry for what they had done to the tamed monster, the newly Christianized townspeople changed the town's name to Tarascon.

You probably wanna take a look at Torchbearer, OP.

>>50776490

Holy balls, that is almost suspiciously on point.

Almost sounds like Darkest dungeons is just a video game based on a campaign, with some lovecraftian shit thrown into the story by the GM. (which honestly fits rather well).

DD doesn't have high mortality unless you either suck at it or are playing some extra challenging variant. You can literally finish the game losing just a couple of heroes.

>>50776435
They're all good games, but it depends on what you want. They all do more or less different things. Ultimately I would say the best generic entry point is probably Dark Heresy 2nd Ed. Another good one is Only War if you want to be soldiers. Only War is much more high fatality however.

>>50776435
Dnd 5 is easy to get into, my friends and I have fun with it.

The 40k rpgs sound fun on paper but trying to actually use thier rules leads to very slow combats (high armour/toughness syndrome). You have to be really on top of the ball to run 40k rpgs smoothly.

>>50777069
Same poster here just clarifying something, I just thought I would plug 5e as a starting point if you struggled with the 40k rpgs. The 40k rpgs can be pretty fun, but its a lot to take in initially.

>>50776388
Because digital bugs still don't have new support.

>>50776398
But they got LED Bug

>>50776418
Not out in English yet even then its not particularly good.

"You'll never catch me doin' 30kph!"

First for the list builder is in the OP.

Are you ready to hear my wisdom, /tg/?

If a Stormsurge uses its pylons to double-fire it cannot move for any reason. Tank Shock forces you to move, either voluntarily or after failing a morale check and breaking, or be removed as a casualty. And that is how you one-shot a Stormsurge. You're welcome.

>pendragon general
I believe it is customary to start generals with a question.


What are some good starter quests to help a new group gain their footing in Pendragon?

>>50775941
Rescue a lady from an asshole

>>50775941
Start off as Saxons, have the party be a roaming plundering warband, before settling as nobles with their plunder to fund their new lifestyles. Do shit like rumors of a nearby village with tricky defenses and valuable stockpiles during the plundering part

>>50774935
I'd start by posting the rest of them.

>>50774935

>Royal Spymaster is mimic octopus
>Royal Assassin is blue-ringed octopus

When art is illustrated by a biologist, everyone.

>>50774996
I like royal guard, its a green octopus.

>>50774188
If you thin and do lots of coats with apple barrel is is a possibility. Using a brand like Reaper, Vallejo, Miniatre, Citadel, is ideal of course. You really should buy decent washes though (I use Secret Weapon's personally) Having nice brushes is, well nice. You should look at even cheap kolinsky sable hair round brushes on ebay.

On thing that should really take no money is properly basing your figures. Just put some PVA glue on the base (Elmer's is fine) and pour sand onto the thing. Then paint the sand the color of rock or whatever, wash, then drybrush.

I'm still relatively new at painting, and I've been using Apple Barrel to paint Lost Patrol. Obviously they aren't going to win any competitions, but they sure look cool while you play the game.

>>50774412
And like >>50774247 said, get some real washes. I use Agrax Earthshade and Nuln Oil from Citadel. And basing is super duper easy and cheap. Vase filler is great for bases.

>>50774100
I apologize about my greentext. The Chaos kiddy was the one screaming the profanities, not the Ork player.

>>50774100
Quick question. Do retards know they're retarded?

Also, how old is Chaos-Kid?

>38% play in FR, really? Surprising to me.

How is that surprising? It's the default setting for 5e, promoted heavily and has a lot of support. If people are going to go for an official setting in 5e, it's going to be FR most of the time.

>>50773962

Or thing that's the only setting in D&D

>My Gun Shoots Swords Edition
But what about a sword that shoots guns?

>>50772521
Ehh, Creation will survive with a couple less Sidereals, don't feel too bad about it. It just doesn't feel right to let a 0CP background pick any of the 100CP background's perk lines to discount, and it would be awkward to move the meta perks for Drop-In that revolve around moving between worlds into a separate tree from a Journeys perk line that's also about moving, but in a different way

Theoretically, there should be a Theanoan Absorption Charm like there are for Salinian and Devonian, but there isn't a canon version of it. You'd have to fanwank your own, but the canon Sorcery school Charms all suck so I personally wouldn't bother.

Note that the Games you get aren't special. Malfeas will be able to avoid addiction because Primordials normally can. But it could be a powerful bargaining chip.

I think the Drop-In items are fine. One personal scale transport and one large scale vehicle.

I'm open to Drawback suggestions. I'm thinking a +300 one that causes the Maiden's to think all your out of context powers and items violate Samsara and aggro them against you if you use any of them.

>>50772692
Time manipulation isn't completely unknown in Exalted. One time, Creation got split into thousands of simultaneous timelines and then reunified in a Dragon Break like way. Time stopping would just be an exotic perfect defense/extra action Charm. It's changing the past that's impossible.

>>50773675
But what about a gun that shoots swords that shoots guns?
