Only equal ways.
Like Sam Vimes or Sabriel.

>>50284166
Doomguy is less of a ....

well y'know what, truth be told, I guess he never really DOES do anything Un-Paladinlike, does he?

He never lies, never cheats, never even sneaks around. Just runs around murderfucking Demons everywhere. Sure, there are his Origins, but it's clear he's been at the redemption thing for some time.

>>50284505
Paladins are equal parts avenging smite-o-matics and beacons of hope and good as I see them.
Doomguy is.. I dont know, some kind of holy avenger class while probably qualified for being a paladin, it isn't quite appropriate.

Why would they not be able to tinker and find out how to do things from scratch again? How do you deplete all heavy metal resources in 800 years from an entire planet?

Premises like this are dumb.

>>50283208
Not all planets have the same amount of heavy metals, and where the hell are you getting 800 years? 8 generations is like 200 years.

Without fossil fuels there wouldn't be enough energy to work with to get things off the ground. If they were importing their solar cells since it's just a resort planet, then getting cut off would most certainly throw them back and keep them there. It takes infrastructure to make technology, a lot of it. It takes infrastructure to make that infrastructure. Without an energy source that can be easily acquired through nothing but human labor (ie fossil fuels), it's going to take a long long time.

Then how did the planet just fall off if it was a resort planet? They had to have some form of communication with the greater universe and a port to allow ships to land or some place to collect resources dropped from orbit.

Would you forget if some CEO of a big company went missing along with who knows how many people at this resort planet?

>>50279777
Sure, and you could probably find them if you went looking

but what does someones sexuality have to do with the game?

>>50279777
Just a few.

>>50279777
No, but it has a lot of faggots.

Permission to include you?

make me nerd

It's pretty pathetic if your self-esteem is tied to how "underground" you perceive your hobby to be.

>>50277145
Haven't run into the type for months now. I'd say it's on its deathbed.

>book

I can't remember the last time I actually read one. I'm gonna go ahead and say Harry Potter, and a vicious reporter who goes on petty vendettas.

>Words of Radiance
I would say the source of all magic being symbiotic pacts with spirits.

So basically Binders from D&D 3.5 Tome of Magic.

>The Painted Man
I dunno, demons that rise up at night that can only be protected or fought against with ancient magical wards is the whole premise, there's not much else to it.

>>50275344
i like to think that out there there is a pair of twins, one that went on the craftworld, and one that went DE. over the years they constantly run into each other, do the obligatory 'hey bro/sis, how ya doin, you get laid/you stop being a degenerate yet bantz, then proceed to try and kill each other (but not really since they are the only family they have in the galaxy, just enough to show off to the other eldar they are with).

you are now imagining forbidden love between the two, either twin sisters, twin brothers, or fraternal twins. which is hotter, DE brother/craftworld sister, or DE sister/craftworld brother?

>>50275409
>first post is fanfic shit
Well that didn't take very long.

An Incubus with an Ulthwéan seer twin sister seems like a good combination to me.

Forgotten Realms a shit.

Why not Eberron General instead?

>>50240885
Eberron is cool too, but deals in a different fantasy genre than the Forgotten Realms.

Okay so I have an idea for magic in my setting that I believe is quite unique, but I need some opinions on whether it's actually good. In my setting, magic and the Church are closely intertwined; in the civilised world of the main continent the only magic users are priests. This is not because God actually exists, because he doesn't, but due to the mechanic through which magic works. For magic to work, you need to first fully believe that the universe is all predetermined. The second requirement is that you believe or even know that what you want to achieve is what is predetermined.

The Church meets both those requirements, as they believe the world is just the playground of an all-powerful being, making it predetermined to his will, and priests believe they have been chosen by God to do his work, thus simply instinctively knowing that when they try to do what God has planned for them, it will work. Lower priests can only do some little magic, like enhanced healing (as they have been taught they aren't a good enough vessel for God's work, and thus don't fully believe they can do more), while bishops, the Primates and the Patriarch can do substantially more each rank.

Another class of magic users, hidden away in the deep inland forests, are the tribes of Wild Men. They chew on a specific, rare herb, which kills about 2/3 that take them but give the other 1/3 delusions of godhood. Basically, similar to the effect LSD gives you where you believe you are the universe and the universe is centered around you, while still feeling insignificant. They believe that their actions have no sway over the world, as the world has always wanted those actions to happen, all the while thinking that since they are the universe their will IS the predetermination.

Don't forget that rain in a medieval setting is often the best thing that could happen to a farmer, so most people. Maybe it could just keep rain below a torrential level, while still being good for farming.

>>50206361
Interesting concept, you'll just have to be careful with writing to avoid sounding Pretentious or fedora-y I guess. Is it for a game for literature?

Also, in response to that, the rain is not in a normal place. It's incredibly dangerous, so I want ideas for dangerous or deadly changes within an area locked in a state of raining.

>>50206427
Thanks for the feedback. It's for a quest, where the MC will not be a priest anyway, so the finer details of magic will be mostly behind the scenes. On top of that, noone actually knows why magic works: the church obviously believes it's just because God exists, although over on another continent, which has just been discovered, there are also magic users who do not believe in a god at all.

>Also, in response to that, the rain is not in a normal place. It's incredibly dangerous, so I want ideas for dangerous or deadly changes within an area locked in a state of raining.
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean, but I think what you want is an idea on how to make rain have deadly effects? In that case, you could make the area a rough bowl-shape causing mudslides and flash floods towards the lower areas.

Probably not.

/v/. But if you wanted to talk about porting the world to table top, we could maybe work something out.

>>50286642
Not entirely sure how well MOBAs would work for tabletop.
