I only have a single kitbashed Iron Sage and and a single devestator squad for these guys. I was working on them until bipolar fucked me in the ass with a major depressive episode about a year ago and I haven't painted since. Maybe someday I'll get back into it, especially since these Blood Angel tacticals (for another chapter, which I can also share if you like this one) have been half-finished for a year.

It didn't fix all my problems with 3x and 4e, but assuming no splat books for either, I'd take 5e over both of those. I'm -still- bugged that they can't get arms and armor correctly named.

With splats I'm still using 3x/Pathfinder, but only because I'm /tg/'s hated enemy and like weird characters.

I know Wizoids are still the master race but are fightans at least useful to lug around at higher levels?

Level advancement doesn't do nearly as much as it did in older editions. Feats are more scarce, spells don't do as much(IIRC, splats may change this) and high level PCs and Monsters aren't that much stronger than low level PCs, so the difference between an overpowered character and an underpowered one is probably like a magical item or two.

There was a magical forcefield of psychic "fuck you" that would repel us with horrific visions.

We came up with a plan for one of us to push the other through with a pole

Needed to hide our identities. We knew that no matter what, we would be unable to make a disguise that wouldn't be immediately noticed as fake - didn't have nearly enough relevant experience, nor contacts to do it for us.

So we disguised ourselves as... ourselves. Figuring that our opponents would think "only absolute madmen would disguise themselves as themselves".

After an extensive firefight and collateral damage, we're now widely known as absolute madmen.

Your repeating digits (and a general interest in the concept) inspires me to contribute

Okay, so it's a giant thing (actually that's a hell of a lot of stars for something with 1800 atk iirc...), but maybe it's so big and cumbersome it's ability to attack is low - I see it's in water, maybe it's fuckheavy?
Sure, it's hard to kill at 3k def, but if it's attacking then it's vulnerable to frog's poison or a well placed shot by a spy or an elf

What's the effect? I don't read moonrunes and I haven't Yu-gi-oh'd for a decade.

One game I do think handles most gameplay/story segregation pretty well is Android: Netrunner - other than a few odd things, most interactions and costs make sense in the game.

One of my favourite in that regard is a card where one player (the hacker) steals a load of money from the other (who represents part of a mega corp) - for every piece of money the hacker gets from the corp, they get two pieces - to represent the fact that the corp's money represents large liquidities, investments and resources - to a megacorporation a million dollars might be as valuable as a hundred dollars is to the hacker, and so on.

On the other hand a burner phone costs as much as a hover-motorbike, but I suppose it could be a crate of burner phones

Demogorgon is a proper noun - a name.

Alright so I got my hands on an ARC as prize support. My friend got his hands on some Gencon Scum ships, so we played a nice little Wave 9 game 10 days early.

Our lists, which were pretty much built to experiment rather than be top tier:

Norra: PtL, R2D2, Tail Gunner, Title, Vector Thrusters
Wes Janson: VI, R3 astro, Seismic Torps, Integrated
Biggs: R4-D6, Integrated

Ventress: Adaptability, Tactician, Gyros, Title
Old Teroch: Fearlessness, Title, Autothrusters
G-3A PS3- FCS, Zuckuss

Some thoughts:
-Norra is good. Really good. She hits like a truck when she can, and can be super tanky as well. The versatility of her ability is great, and she's an endgame monster. Getting her there might be a problem though, hence Biggs.

-R3 astro was, not as horrible as I'd thought. Certainly nothing I'd say was really good, but I used it multiple times when I didn't have a focus, and it kept Wes from taking some damage. Also Wes isn't really there to hurt things, more strip tokens, so a little loss of firepower from him wasn't quite so noticeable. Still think it's a poorly designed card.

-Old Teroch is goddamn hilarious, and is going to shut down so many aces. He pretty much kept me from using Norra's ability all game. Also the Fearlessness/Title combo is quite good. Kept the pain going and also kept Teroch alive one turn longer than normal, working fantastically when everyone bumped one turn. The 2-Talon roll is also pretty sweet, and the combo makes it work.

-Ventress is probably the new meta. I ended up killing his Shadowcaster pretty quickly because his green dice hated him, but the two turns he got were scary. The stress ability might be overpowered, we'll see. At least she's PS6. Also that title, scary as fuck. Didn't even properly think about it before, but like the TIE/D with TB, any ship that hands out TB tokens without nerfing their own damage is a force to be reckoned with.

Dark greetings, /swg/! What awesome power would you bestow upon Trioculus, heir of the Empire?

Halbeard.

Is he really that blue?

I wonder how many Japanese girls trigger and become megucas thinking this is Sailor Moon or PreCure when this is Yuki Yuuna wa Yuusha at best.

Yes, you were. You were being passive aggressive instead of directly confronting him about his powergaming behavior. Try instead to start from scratch, admit to taking the wrong approach to a real problem, then reason with him as to how this is a collaborative experience and his trying to exploit the rules for his benefit is creating a toxic climate that sucks the fun out of the game.

If you already went through these steps, then you were well within your right to teach him a lesson.

I'm with this guy >>49347770

Also remember that characters can only benefit from a long rest once per day. If I needed to set it in stone, I'd say they need to go at about 16 hours between long rests.

>Which class is the best class

>and why is it entirely relative?
Because all forms of entertainment, which D&D falls under the umbrella of, are completely subjective.
Even "bad" things have people that enjoy them, and many people enjoy the same thing for almost completely different reasons.
This is especially true in D&D, where much of the entertainment value is fueled entirely by individual imaginations rather then hard rules.

>Which class is the best class, and why is it entirely relative?
Bard and/or Paladin
It's relative because as long as you meet a certain baseline, you're pretty much set for combat encounters. Everything else is fun.
