No.

Yes. Took weeks to get the blood, cum and goose urine out of my socks afterwards. Fun times, but the group fell apart after the DM escaped from my sex basement.

I hereby annex this thread in the name of the Mane.

It's a hag's mind slave. That condition of slavery does not reflect upon its alignment. If it were somehow set free, it would behave in a neutral evil way.

It's not hard to understand. Dominated people don't suddenly change alignment either.

>>50097672
They were invented by hags. And like everything hags make they are pure evil.

Hags are cool, but my group never uses them. The one time we fought them we accidently tricked a kraken into killing them for us.

>>50097697
Hags are so fucking cool.


Even yugoloths, beings made of pure neutral evil, don't seem to be as evil as hags. Yugoloths may be completely self-interested mercenaries, but they don't have that touch of creativity or that bottomless spite. A night hag will devote her life to elaborately fucking with people, getting their hopes up and then dropping them into the depths of despair. Not because it benefits herself in any way, just for the lulz.

H-Ho-HOT

Why do you ask a question you already know the answer to?

>implying pants are cool

>>50097135
You should restrict battles to 1v1 or 2v2. 4v1 battles shouldn't happen, unless you're a member of Team Rocket. Also, give gym leaders teams that counter their own innate weaknesses. If one of the players beats the gym leader, the gym leader tells the rest of the party to take a hike, until he can heal his Pokemon.

Answer your second problem with another question. What is Team ______ doing? What are other trainers/gym leaders/members of the elite four doing? What would a modern-day Earth be like with Pokemon?
If you want something else to do aside from hopping from gym to gym, then do so. You could literally think of anything that would happen in the modern world and just add Pokemon.
Ambulance breaks down and needs transport? With Pokemon!
Cruise ship heist? With Pokemon!
Meet a movie director who's working on his next hit film? With Pokemon!

If you have a player acting like an idiot, talk to him about it. If he keeps acting like an idiot, ask him not to come back. Though, if he has it in his mind that rape is appropriate for a Pokemon game, then you should just ask him to leave.

Now for my own question. Why are you running a homebrew game, if it's your first time GMing?

>>50097320
Restricting gym battles to 1v1 would make the battle last vastly longer, another solution i could do would be to only allow players to bring 1-2 pokemon into a gym battle but they are quite a whiny lot. They whine its OP and then win easily.
Cruise ship heist works since they'll be on the S.S anne soon, I'm just not that great at acting out roleplay, im not sure at what moments to be GM or to be a character talking.

I'm running this because it's a meetup event where people to come to play RPGs but a while back the few GMs we had disappeared so i quickly made up a Pokemon RPG using my actual cards and it was popular and has evolved into this where I've made character sheets, rules and all 151 pokemon with their own unique cards.

>>50097135
Have gym leaders use multiple pokemon at once, and limit the total number of pokemon the challenging team can have. There's no reason to stick to the games mechanics of "every trainer only gets one pokemon at a time" when youre already breaking the rule of multiple people battling a single trainer. Fluff it under the assumption gym leader are in their position for a reason, and thus have cool battle techniques or some shitYou can still let them overall have more combatants on their side (since the gym will likely have quality mons) and they still only command one at a time, but this will help edge out the action economy and actually have satisfying fights.

Take a hit

Give it back.

If anyone needs it, here is the full conversation:
Dorgan the larder master (/d/m) : "Well, as you can see, these Pests are eating my everything in our larder."
Lorance: "Did you try removing them?"
Dorgan the larder master (/d/m): "OF COURSE I DID! I sent three men in, all of them came out frothing in the mouth and speaking gibberish"
Bob(my character): BOB CAN-!
Melis: "Out of the way you meat brain barbarian! This are creatures of magical nature, and they would take a magical solution. There are somethings only a wizard can do"!
Melis: [Proceeds to cast cloud of death]

> Needless to say we did not sleep in the inn that night.

I think that with planning and time, I wizard can do almost everything a barbarian can.

however, barbarians can do a lot of things (or at least, do somethings a lot better) than a wizard can without planning and time.

In particular, if the situation is both a surprise and make the characters in and immediate adversarial physical situation.

The advantage of the barbarian is situational.

This is how I BARBARIAN.

>fails to address class imbalance and action economy
Utterly worthless.

Any CR system is going to make assumptions about how capable a party is (capability comes from PC stats, behaviour and player skill). Whenever the PCs are more or less capable than assumed, the CR system fails to be useful in determining how difficult an encounter is.

Sometimes a party could have a serious hole in their capability that the CR system assumes isn't there. For example, a party with minimal/no ranged attack capability is going to have a lot of trouble with flying foes. Even if the CR says that the encounter should be very easy.

Or maybe the PCs come across a horde of melee enemies. The CR says that the fight should be very hard, but the players just sit on top of a cliff that the enemies can't climb and take them out from a safe distance.

My opinion is that CR systems are, at best, training wheels for inexperienced GMs. No amount of tweaking them is ever going to change that. Experienced GMs should move on to knowing enough about the system and the party that they have a good idea about how any encounter will go before it starts.

>I've been playing D&D for about a year now so I think I finally know what I'm doing

And yet you apparently didn't think it worth mentioning what edition you are playing.

If you're doing 5e then you basically described the Revenant, so do that if your GM doesn't mind.

>>50095464
If you play an undead, play it properly.
Make a skeleton and make as many skele-puns as you can.

If you're playing 3rd edition, use the Book of Vile Darkness Bone and Corpse templates instead of a straight skeleton or zombie.

>3x Laser Destroyer Rapiers
While theses are always a good choice because of their strength they won't work as effectively as a pure tank.

Valdor tank hunter is always a good choice, however it miss's half the time.

Destroyer Tank Hunter is a good choice since it's twin linked and can hit the target better but suffers in damage.

Most GMs there are fine with newbies. Hell, I'm happy if people actually show up when they say they will, or let me know if they can't.

It's a Jew star.

But those have six points. The one pictured has eight.

>>50093380
Certain terminologies stop applying after appearances change. Racial terms are heavily tied to appearance dating back to pre-history. If you looked different, you WERE different.

So, if two races that had differing evolutionary paths, but had, by chance, progressed to the point that they were similar in all but culture, met an outsider at the same time, he would call them both "X".
If one was substantially different from the other physically, he would call them "x" and "y".

You are breaking into a good section of world building here. Biology and Culture are heavily influenced by environment and heavily determine what a creature "is".

Logically speaking, your argument answers itself. Philosophically, it boils down to "Why?"

tl;dr if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and tastes like a duck, its probably not a fish.

>>50093380
>However, why is it when we receive a race of Mole-like or Ram-like people wearing martian suits with a culture focusing on knowledge, traveling space, magicks, worshipping old gods, and raising mushrooms for food, we refuse to call them "Dwarves"?
Because nothing about that is like dwarves?

>>50093380
Aren't Elder Scrolls dwarves not dwarflike at all? They're just elves.

Tzeentch's plans are so obtuse that the universe will end before they complete. You can still treat "I lost on purpose lolol" as a real victory at least half of the time because the advantage gained from losing there might never actually come into play.

>>50093552
This. Lords of Change are still slaves to the fuckcrazy whims of their master. On top of this, Lords of Change are also susceptible to overplanning and overstimulation, so they get merc'd in the here-and-now while they're busy planning eighteen-hundred steps ahead.

>>50093360
Tzeentch generally has the least amount of followers however to compensate they tend to have a greater capacity for power. Its mentioned in some of the fluff that occasionally the other three group together to bring him down a peg as he is constantly scheming and rising in power.

Looking at his demons its fair to say that most times they lose to the others in combat. However realistically they've lost by getting to that point anyway. Why fight yourself when you can plot to force the other 3 powers to fight amongst themselves and then swoop in and claim the prize.

As for the Tzeentch only losing if he decides to, no. Its not the end goal that tzeentch is planning for, it's the planning itself that gets him off.
