Got incredibly drunk, met Tymora the Goddess of Good Luck (her patron deity), and woke up the following day not only with no hangover, but actually healthier than she had previously been (Blessing of Health, +2 CON).

>>49997821
Being an autistic savant he is, he did nothing but craft magic items for two years. After the downtime was over, he started gifting those magic items to everyone who would take them, PC or NPC.

>>49998533
those downsides are fucking atrocious, anon
>you lose all your items
>you gay married an ugly person
>you are the target of a theft or scam whenever you enter the city you donated in

the real kicker is the special events table
>you started a fire that burned down the whole fucking city
>you are a pig for the first week of the adventure
>you joined a fucking cult even if it didn't make sense for your character to do so in the slightest, potentially breaking paladin oath etc etc.
>everything you touch becomes pyrite and is worthless, and IT MENTIONS NOTHING ABOUT DISPELLING IT

The English language is really lacking a word here. Germans have Menschenkenntnis which basically translates to Knowledge of human nature. Oh, there's even a wiki article with that title.

That's actually pretty interesting.
In the same vein, I guess you could use psychology, but psychology isn't a very fun word.

>>49997434
Weird that English doesn't have a word for this.

I'd go with <Assess>
It fits, and it's also good for a joke or two, which is always a bonus.

bumparooo

>>49997320
check the codex?

>>49999320
not in there. Mostly cadia stuff and the Armagedon troopers

>>49997315
That depends, are they real?
I've had nothing but Soy Products from Stuffer Shack for about three months now.

>>49997670
absolutely real, authentic, baked to your specifications and absolutely delicious

>>49997315
I'd be too worried bits of his last defense minister was in there to join forces with undead demonic Idi Amin.

Stopped reading there.

Play stupid games - win stupid prizes.

Once again, first reply is best reply.

It's popular with the Imperium for a lot of reasons anon.
One of which is that it's reliable as fuck and can use just about anything to fuel it.

In lore it's also supposed to be extremely dexterous too but we don't see that either.

>>49996508
A lot of land-based imperial war machines (and non-war machines) can be fueled by anything combustible.

>>49996508
so can you fuel it with heretics?

>>49996533
so it's basically AK-47 of 41st millenium?

And how are we supposed to survive fifty days of travel with only wenches and booze?

>>49995941
Sounds like quitter's talk to me

>>49995941
If you have wenches and booze, why are you travelling in the first place?

I'm on mobile but I'll see if I can find the link to the mega with almost all True20 stuff if you'd like. I've never played it myself but I think it seems like oneveryone of the few good d20 versions

>>49995465
It's probably my favorite remnant if the d20 Glut.
It's an attempt at turning d20 into a generic system. Basically they took every class trait and turned them into feats. You have three base classes that determine your skills and a few other things, and from there you build up the class you want through feats. Spellcasting is also done through feats and skills, every spell is a feat (it might have more than one effect) and to cast it you have to check against exhaustion.
The other interesting thing is that it uses a condition scale instead of hit points. When you get hit you save against damage, if you fail you get progressively worse conditions up to death. Thanks to this, you don't need any die that is not a d20.
All in all I consider it an improvement over the standard d20 stuff. The book details how to play in several sorts of settings and there are a lot of supplements with more setting and rules material.

Is this probably isn't gonna be very help but I'll post anyway.
I own this game.... i think, I don't remember it well so i guess it didn't leave much of an impression.
So take that for what you will.

Team Fortress are still Fantasy and Sci-Fi, respectively.

N.... No?

Bump for Warhammer 40k

Rolled 7 + 1 (1d8 + 1)

>>49993810
Y'know, you could always crack open your DMG.

Fine, I'll do it, give me a few moments...okay, starting on page 94 of the 5e DMG. We're rolling 1d8 for the villains' objective, and a d4 for his scheme within that objective.

Rolled 4 (1d4)

>>49994165
That was supposed to be 1d8+1d4...okay, well, whatever, a 7 on a d8 gives us "Revenge" as his motivation.

Here's the d4...

Rolled 11 (1d20)

>>49994178
Ah ha, okay, so his goal is to retrieve stolen property and punish the thief of said property.

Now then, his methods, for which we shall roll a d20.

That wasn't a curse, it was a feature.

THIS MUST BE THE WORK OF AN ENEMY STAND

No,
Dreams are the soul's escapades into the ethereal world, where physicality is but an illusion and concept is king.
Demons have no souls, and so sleep dreamlessly.

Is that a plate of food on the bedside table? I didn't realize Cestree was a demon of gluttony and sloth.

Knick-knacks, doo-dads, Whatchima-callits, and who could forget, thingy-ma-bobers.

>>49993754
A talisman, perhaps.

>>49993754
Numenera calls them Ciphers. They're bits of extremely ancient tech, 'cept the PCs don't know that because it's the fundamental premise of Numenera, so close enough.

>>49992921
Agreed. Magic would dominate the world and the whole world would revolve around wizards and so on.

Mines would be staffed by hundreds of people there solely to keep a few mages happy while the mages extract whatever is being mined. Mages would create networks voiding trade routes etc as goods are transported instantly all over the globe. Crops never fail as mages ensure they grow exceptionally well and frequently.

Really the world would be normal humans catering to mages every needs to try ensure mages are kept happy enough to do the worlds labour. You would have to be intelligent or a mage to get anywhere beyond mage bitch status in life.

Thoughts?

>>49992993
Well I don't think the WHOLE world would revolve around mages. It depends on the level and stability of magic. Of course, if you're in a setting where magic can do just about anything, then yeah, you've build a post-scarcity society and go from there. But you still need politicians, artists/artisans, anybody who's not a base laborer and can't be solved by magic. That or EVERYONE could learn magic, seeing as it would be such a keystone and there would be many prestigious magical universities. You could build a society in which everybody is familiar in at least some level of magic.

>>49992921

At the bare minimum you'd have markets that cater to and are dominated by magic users of all stripes would be ran in the way that Debeers runs the diamond industry with tight controls on components and a need for people to go out and get the particularly rare and forbidden ones as well.

Surprising how you don't hear about towns who's entire economy is based around extracting/manufacturing/refining materials into spell components. that x thousands of gold jewel didn't just come from no where.
