Yes.

Have you ever laughed?

Essence 6+ Sidereal Charms don't exist, there are no canon Astrological Charms, and the only Sidereal Martial Arts Charms are from half an edition ago.

There's an entire chapter in their book covering this, but essentially you choose a kind of bonus/penalty and the people/conditions it applies in. So you could give Hinata a Destiny that will give her good luck when she tries to free the Branch House.

Write a better campaign

>>50765331
If my players weren't supposed to "win" an encounter, they won't win the encounter.

Namely because I don't put fucking bullshit unwinnable encounters into my games, unless it's something bullshit like "5 goblins v.s. the manifest will of the divine pantheon taking the form of a celestial army of angels"

Adeptus Arbites (Hive police / Judge Dredd expy) use cyber-mastiffs.

And there's wolfs wolfing wolfs.

Scavvies (in the Necromunda game) have hounds.

Forge World released a pretty badass Arbite Cyberhound handler a couple years ago.

You're asking the wrong questions.

>>50764840
Your post is a paraphrase of a bible quote. Novelty has no inherent value and anything designed solely with novelty as the goal ends up as some of the most soulless forms of media.

Once you've read a dictionary, every book is just a remix.

>it feels like I'm being pushed to the utility role.
It's kind of hard to answer without knowing the system (I can infer D&D, but what edition?)
That said, outside of 4E, you absolutely are a utility role.

Your main strength is how many options you have to tackle any given problem.
Haste isn't always the best option, but it's almost always stronger than Fireball.

>Is this still balanced?
Probably, does it matter?
>Was the DM right about later levels?
Maybe, does it matter?
>Am I just being whiny bitch?
Near as I can tell.

>caster complaining about martials

Spellcasters get OP after 10th level.

Another thing is that if youre going to play a spellcaster, you have to think like one.

Remember that HP isn't the only stat you roll against. Enemies have to make save throws too.

Just because you can't cave someone's head in doesn't mean you can't take control of them, misdirect them or cripple them. Or fly around them. Or drop them through a hole into another plane of existence.

If you think that's "utility" and it's not fun for you to play that character maybe consider reclassing or re-rolling

What's your most and least favorite army to play against?

>>50763247
I don't care about armies, I care about the people playing them. Example:
I have a friend who has to 'win' every conversation, argument, dick waving contest, everything. So he turns out to be a WAAC fag who literally cheats.
I also have this friend up at my game store who, without fail, I have a GREAT game against where we joke about shit and just have fun.
I don't like playing against the first. I love playing against the latter.

Why doesn't GW do their own BattleScribe?

It's not like it would free you up to not purchase a codex, and the final step could be to add your army to a cart and order it. It seems backward that they expect people to do lists with pen and paper and then have to math out the boxes to buy.

>>50763054
No, but i've always wanted to.

No reason why you couldnt make custom rules. Power claws + storm bolter isnt that hard, just pay the right points

A good start might be the scions tempestor prime with his coat. Then buy some power claws from anywhere and cut the claws off and attach to wrists. Lastly get a grey knights stormbolter, they come with a side mounted mag and are meant for the wrist. Then paint 'em up. But there are pleanty of alternatives. You could use the cadian command squad.

>>50763256
My kit-knowledge is a little rusty, but I think the body would work with any cadian trooper legs and the cadian command squad torso.

The cape, pauldrons and fists have to be made out of green stuff (there aren't any identical human-sized power fists for both arms). Maybe Terminator arms (the ones holding the Bolters/Hammers/Shields/nothing) could work for the fists, but I'm not sure.

The Grey Knight Stormbolters are little too big for imperial humans. I would cut a bit off at the bottom (see pic) and replace the magazine on the side with a Bolt-Pistol mag (makes it look smaller instantly).

My head knowledge is very poor, but I think one of the catachan command squad heads looks like Stubbs if you file away the mohawk. The bald, scarred head from the cadian command squad would make a nice Sturnn. For Alexander, I guess a lot of heads would work, but the iconic Visor would need to be greenstuffed.

The unlockable golden Breast-plate for Alexander and Stubbs can be made by replacing the command squad torso with one of the knight torsos from the Imperium Cavalry from Warhammer.

I am not convinced of any power, of course; stranger things have happened and I could easily be stretching interpretation. That’s why I need tests. Relatively foolproof things to write in this book that are also very rare. Rule boundary tests would also be useful so long as they are not dangerous.

The next quote is Rom 12:2, “Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.”, followed by Matt 5:9 “God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.”

Bonus points if the tests do not presume or suspect an absence of power, as I fear that may offend the source of that power.

Duh, you just write "I will know how the journal works." Bam, problem solved.

Try the lottery again, only write "I will win the lottery with the next ticket I buy." Then buy a ticket.

Reminder that you should read the 4E DMG and incorporate its ideas of FUN and engagement into your games.

I'm working on integrating Kenku into my setting and am wondering what makes people like them.
The no creativity thing is interesting, but seems like it'd make them boring to roleplay as a PC since you will just sit in the backseat and follow the party all the time.
Mimicing is cool but doing only that makes it seem like it would just be gimmicky in play (do kenku players even adhere to it, or do they generally just speak like normal and it's assumed they communicate what they say via mimiced noises in the fiction?)
The rest is quite minor, but maybe being cursed by a greater being, wanting to regain the ability to fly etc. are wanted as well.

>>50762544
I think Kenku is great for a NPC or DMPC travelling with the party.

Pretyy good. In ye olde lore, before GW started the whole eternally stuck in 40,000 retcon train, the Tau tried to access the Warp during the last world campaign. Basically GW would log the victories and losses in stores for a set period of time, and writers would come up with a story based on that.

The Tau had a whole storyline about learning about the Warp. They kidnapped and tortured Eldar to learn about the Warp (and got butchered by Eldar retaliatory strikes - Eldar vs. Tau battles were decided in favour of the Eldar).
But more importantly was the Tau trying out proper Warp engines, and promptly abandoning the design and banning all research into it.

Oldschool Warhammer had the Tau greedy for Warp knowledge and that greed resulted in them making horrid mistakes, so yeah. Go right ahead.

>>50761336
>How realistic is this for a campaign?

Not bad.

>How would you make it work?

By having the Tau be dupes. There should be a Chaos cult, or at least a dark adept of some kind, pulling the strings from behind the scenes.

I'd like to run a game where the players are Imperials who infiltrated a Tau held human world and have to perform false flag attacks against humans and even loyalists to turn public opinion against the Tau

Hell yeah! Played an awesome one-shot Halloween special of D&D5e where the party was composed of four evil bastards who came together for security and work their respective big evil plans out of their mountain castle headquarters.

The party was as follows.
>Gnomish vampire mastermind whose goal was to take some backwards hicks and make them into a glorious civilization that he would rule.
>Dwarvish evocation wizard who made contact with a primordial and now has a fixation on storms and wishes to bring his primordial buddy into the material plane.
>Goliath werewolf barbarian who is obsessed with elves and is seeking is elf wife who ran away with their children. He wants to kill her, turn his children, and start his own pack.
>Tiefling monk who didn't really have a goal. We kinda were hoping to run his player through character creation without telling him it was an all evil campaign and enjoy the resulting hilarity of him slowly realizing everyone else is evil.

Evil campaigns, at least for me, make me think about characters in new and fascinating ways...
