One, XP doesn't work the way you think it does. Two, it's the same reason everyone's not going to Harvard or becoming big business CEOs or making billions of dollars. Not everyone has the potential to be exceptional. Not everyone can be an adventurer.

In a world where you could be a navy seal or an award winning physicist why would you work as a car mechanic?

Because reasons

Where does this potential come from? How do you know whether or not you have the potential to move mountains given enough physical training?

Fighter + any class that depends on actions.

I'm thinking of a plot involving the "reunion" of a legendary party of adventurers called the Eternal Company. This are some of them:

-Human male, Paladin (Oathbreaker, LG), now a Death Knight. This guy chose his words really poorly when making his bow to a deity and thus made his oath impossible to fulfill. He is doomed to remain unredeemed for all eternity because of this. His personality shifts from stoic to depress at times, but he remains noble and kind-hearted even now.
- Human male, Wizard (Diviner, CN). The former Wizard-King of an ancient magocracy. He was a talented and ambitious researcher of the arcane. So much so that he created an insanely powerful artifact through his forbidden knowledge of the Far Realm. Because of this, his subjects, fearing magical devastation, rebelled against him. Arrogant and prideful, he initially regarded this as treason. After countless wars were waged over the artifact he realized of the gravity of his mistake and exiled himself, becoming an adventurer. He eventually took drastic measures to prevent the artifact from ever falling into the wrong hands and Imprisioned himself into a timeless demiplane, to serve as It's warden for all eternity. While nothing can leave or enter his prison-demiplane, the artifact allow his magic to bend the rules of space and time, manifesting into other planes of existence and even to slightly shape the timeline. He is an intelligent and knowledgeable individual, but the prolonged isolation and the influence of the Far Realm has rendered him increasingly insane. He longs for companionship, new knowledge and the anything that connects him of his former life in a desperate, obsessive way.

I think we can start a fire to keep us warm using some paperwork. We can start off with pension records, since none of us are gonna be needing them anymore.

Homebrew, considering Paizo managed to fuck up Starfinder even when they have a blank slate to start with and didn't even write a setting this time.

What do yo use to paint your armor?

>>54968161
Yeah. I was running D&D with some friends and this random guy we picked up from the local game store. He was fine until I decided to take the campaign to a faux-Middle East type area and have the players work with a local emir to find an efreet with knowledge of a special gem that could grant access to the BBEG's personal demi-plane. Motherfucker threw a fit because it turns out he was super hateful of anything from the Middle East, calling people ragheads and other shit. I had none of that shit; second he came out as an easily triggered baby who couldn't keep his mouth shut, I kicked his ass out of my game and my fucking house.

>>54968247
I hate ragheads too. Get shot at by enough of em for 3 years and you would too. It's pretty disheartening.
I wouldn't expect a kid that's never really encountered any hardships in life to understand though

>>54968275
The fictional characters and efreet did not shoot at you. Are you so autstic that you could not separate real life and D&D?

>>54967075
I'm not a numbers guy.

And I'm actually considering sitting down and trying to fix these goddamn spacebattle DCs.

Because it's SO CLOSE TO BEING CORRECT.

What are some cool ways to use portable computers? Are there any rules for turrets other than vague references in the computer section?

If bullets don't work, use fire.
If fire doesn't work, use explosives.
If explosives don't work, you clearly haven't been using enough.

An Ork always gets the job done, but it never follows orders.

>How reliable are Ork mercenaries

not very. Why not many like using them

>>54961527
An ork will work for you if you pay him. Ork mercenaries aren't the back stabbin' type.

As for following orders, well an ork'll do the job, but he's gonna do it his way. Especially if he doesn't respect you.

if the dude holding the dice is the GM, then he looks like a mega nerd hiding under a blanket. Maybe try a different art style.

Adventure Zone was pretty good. But it seems like one where either people love it or hate it. The podcast suffers because the first three episodes aren't that good, especially compared to the rest of the podcast, so people will stop listening before it gets good. And I can't blame them.

It wants to eat the very void of space itself. Space is like orange juice to it, and the planets are the pulp.

It doesn't like pulp.

A friend.

It pities the humans and wants to make them more like itself. Since the very concepts like "physics", "logic" and "time" are completely alien to him, what it does to people is...
Weird.
