Depends on how magic works.

I mean, does magic produce thermal energy?

And if it does, couldn't you just counter it with cold magic?

Sure, but why did you post a picture of a shoulder thing that goes up?

>does magic produce thermal energy
If it does, then it would make sense that you would produce more heat than you could take away with a cold spell.

>Wind up in a Freeform RP
There's your problem.

This is semi related to OP

Share some of your wisdom on this, /tg/.

Is it better to have an autistic control freak, or to have pure anarchic ass pulling in your Freeform RPGs?

A site where like OP, the world is controlled by an autistic man child, or would you prefer a world without authority, and everyone and anyone can just do fuck all?

I'm completely unaware of what these Freeform things are. What is the lesser of two evils?

There's a new formation that makes them less awful.

Really if you're playing Chaos you're getting assfucked either way so just use the models you like.

>>49962703

Play 30k and run them as Gal Vorbak. Then they might actually be playable.

>>49962703
They're melee infantry in a ruleset that heavily punishes melee units. They lack good ways to get into melee, and their output can be fairly mediocre once they get there.

>>49962378
Check the wiki to make sure but I'm fairly certain that the world was originally created as a tabletop game. The books came later as a product of his world/character building

>>49962378
I'll be honest, I've only read the first two. I really like the first, but the second had some problems for me. Notably the chick that became the desert oracle lady. She made me want to put the book down every time I had to read a section from her viewpoint.

I do remember hearing that it started out as a D&D game, but I never heard which edition he used.

>>49962530

came here to say this

>Pathfinder based
>Digimon homebrew
This is some weapons-grade autism going on here.

That being said, good luck.

Copy what that one season of Digimon did and let Humans turn into Digimon.

Or copy Pokémon and let the Humans and Partner merge for some time.

>weapons-grade autism
Topkek. Got what I came here for.
Thanks Anon.

>has magic gone too far?
Yes. Yes, it has.

We do what any self respecting fantasy humans would do in this scenario

seduce it to make adorable hybrid babies and introduce new traits into the gene pool!

>>49961013
Would seducing that thing be Charisma or Animal Handling?

not even once

Katanas should be designed as all-or-nothing weapons. They must be used in both hands and could have high damage, but using them should make you more vulnerable to get hit in return. That's what they were made for and how they were used.

>>49960071
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my batch in the Chuunin Exams, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on the Akatsuki, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in stealth warfare and I’m the top Kekkei Genkai user in the Hidden Leaf. You are nothing to me but just another genin. I will wipe you the fuck out with ninjutsu the likes of which has never been seen before in the Ninja World, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over ninja scrolls? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of ANBU agents across the Fire Country and your chakra is being traced right now so you better prepare for the Raikiri, maggot. The storm jutsu that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your Ninja Way. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you with over one thousand techniques, and that’s without use of Sharingan. Not only am I extensively trained in taijutsu, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Seventh Hokage and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the Ninja World, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit Fire Release all over you and you will burn in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

>medieval
>WW1

Well to get that shit to gel you'll need:

- some kind of artifice, like magical devices or monsters, that work the same way as artillery, machine guns, explosives, gas, barbed wire, large warships, aircraft, primitive tanks, sound-ranging devices, telephones and telegraph, etc

- large, populous states that can muster millions of men and keep them supplied

- this all needs to be recently-developed in-universe so that most of it is new to the generals on all sides


Or you could just do a lazy parody where there are two massive lines of castles along a border, each castle basically beseiging the one opposite, with siegeworks connecting them all up like trenches, and hurr durr generals just hurling troops back and forth across the no-man's-land and into the breaches.

>>49959849
Direct analogue is not possible due to the technological requirements for WW1.
It's a war that could have only occurred within a decade or so either side of when it did.

However, it would be possible to take other major aspects from it. Stalemate wars that take ages and massively devastate wide areas of land? 30 years war would be a good one. Though the battles were brief, the armies were basically mobile apocalypses for whoever's land they moved through, being larger than the populations of most big cities of time. Ok, it's pike&shot era rather than medieval but there's commonality to be found in the need for industry to rapidly expand and arm much larger forces than found at the start. So that can be a thing.

Constant innovation on every front to try and get an advantage whilst simultaneously having to deal with problems of rapidly expanding forces meaning calling up old officers and the like who are massively under-prepared/educated on the new things/tactics they're to use and face. That's easy enough. Imaging some old Dwarf militia guy who has only ever had to lead small, local forces against goblin raiding parties suddenly having to deal with managing an entire regiment fighting massed, organised Orc cavalry forces that don't just flee after a few casualties, because he still technically holds a rank high enough and there's no-one younger available.

Innovation can come in many forms, not all immediately good. Throw in some Leonardo da Vinci types on all sides trying to come up with new devices and methods that are poorly implemented by under-trained and poorly supplied armies.

I'll take What is Eberron for $200, Alex.

>>49959413
Why? Also, why is he nude? And where's he getting the molten steel? I have a lot of questions about this scenario.

>>49959413

I suppose that isn't the worst possible thing a nude dwarf could pour into my bag of holding, but nevertheless, I must decline.

>>49959413
Would the steel solidify in the bag of holding? If so, where would the heat be dissipating?

>Gerhardt von Lutz
The straight man of the party, and of comparatively humble and simple origins compared to the rest of the party. Gerhardt’s father had served with honor in the imperial military right up to the day he was killed in battle. To honor his heroism, his father’s commanding officer sponsored Gerhardt’s entry into the Imperial Military Academy in Altdorf. He was spared fighting in the storm due to his training being incomplete. Gerhardt ended up getting the short end of the stick. With Archaon’s defeat, the Imperial military had little need of his service. He graduated without a commission and no way to make money. Landry met him and, after buying the lad several drinks, convinced him that starting a mercenary band with him would be the quickest and easiest way to win them both some glory.

>Gehrov Zedlin
Gehrov and Landry actually met one another briefly. Gehrov, or Dr. Zedlin as he sometimes preferred despite not having a physician’s license, was one hell of a barber-surgeon. He spoke little of his past and preferred to let his skillset speak for itself. He was both an excellent doctor and spy.

Other PCs join briefly, others come and go. We get a 5th PC at the eleventh hour of the campaign but we’ll get to him when we get to him. Some events are omitted or changed to make the story flow, but I assure (you), this really happened.

Chapter 1: Fear and Loathing in Altdorf
“Money for a veteran, sir?” A man in rags, body coated in dirt asked to the two men who were the latest to enter Altdorf’s western gate. They were a peculiar pair. One looked to be somewhere in his late twenties. He was handsome, with a strong jaw, green eyes, and blonde hair. What the beggar noticed the most was the sword at his side. It had gold on the handle. Real gold. The other man was shorter, noticeably younger, and rounder of face. He looked like a local, truth be told, and the only things that stood out on his person were the rapier at his side and the generic tabard of the Reik on his chest.

Both ignored him. The trained eyes of the swordsman scanned the crowd ahead of them. Mostly they were travelers like himself and the boy beside him. Some of them, though, looked important. “Nobles, flocking into Altdorf at this hour?” He asked the younger man.

“They’re coming at all hours these days, Landry. Everyone has a petition for the Emperor now that they’re sure they won’t die in the next month.” The younger man’s voice was surprisingly deep. It lacked the practiced nonchalance of the older man.

“Peace breeds peculiar opportunities, right pup?”

“Right. We need to keep our eyes open for one of these opportunities. Our seed money won’t go very far otherwise.”

They headed further into the city. For a moment, the swordsman, Landry, glanced back at the beggar and his companions. As his mouth opened to say something, he was cut off by a nearby crier.

“Do you have what it takes to battle the Grand Champion before the eyes of Karl Franz himself? Do any of you with your swords, axes, bows, whatever you wage war with, think you can defeat the fists of a crazed northern giant? Could you defeat every dog of war beside you, clamoring in the kennel for that same chance?”

All things told, it was an acceptable performance from a crier. It certainly caught Landry and Gerhardt’s attention. They moved closer, looking up at home. An elbow pressed into Landry’s armored side.

“What business does Wissenland have holding a tournament in Altdorf?” Gerhardt asked. His eyes had found a sigil of the Reik’s southern neighbor, half hidden under the scarlet cloak of the crier. “Seems like there’s more politics in this tournament than it’s worth.”

“But an opportunity to take on some grand champion is far too appealing to pass up.” Landry grinned at Gerhardt. The young cadet had seen that expression on his face before. Simply put, it meant there would be no arguing with him.

Still didn’t stop Gerhardt from trying. “Do you want glory so badly that you’d die for it? From all the stories you’ve told me of your journeys through the empire, your duke would surely grant you some title.”

“I’m not after a title.” Landry replied, already starting to walk off towards the fields that apparently served as the qualifier. “I simply wish to see the skill of this champion firsthand.”
Gerhardt grunted and followed Landry.
