A Possessed Heavy Bolter with a repentant Daemon Prince of Tzeentch in it, his name Fairrale Antonidus, and he just wanted to go back to the simplicity of life that was serving the God Emperor of Mankind (and it let the Heavy Weapons Guy Shoot Mind Bullets which was pretty cool)

unfortunately for the thread topic, I'm actually into both and have been for a while. I remember trying to start a Dropzone commander thread pre reconquest phase 1 actually. It was a different time.

It's not D&D you moron.

Jehova witness people came by to see my sister and saw me leaving with my box of game stuff.
They asked me about it then gave me anti dnd propaganda.

One of them said his friend got curious and bought one. When his friend tried to read it he was attacked by demons.

>>49044010

Yeah, I'd heard stories back in the day. I live in central california which is one of those weird mishmash place where rednecks meet liberals. I had a hippie mom and a metal guitarist dad who were cool with D&D and stuff, but some of my friends had to hide their games from their parents because they were religious types who might freak.
Actually had a teacher come out as a D&D player one time, and specifically address the whole "it's evil and teaches you black magic and makes you kill yourself" stuff in class one afternoon after someone brought it up.

(I believe it was in that same class that we had one girl from the more redneck side of town argue that all prison sentences should be replaced with the death penalty.)

>Ron sits uncomfortably in his fancy clothes. He barely had enough time to send his confirmation to Alan, and the fact that he was suddenly being recalled to Praetoria wasn't a pleasant one

Mechanical differences aren't arbitrary at all.

Cleric focuses more on spreading his religion and the words of his god.

While Paladin is a selected champion of the god. He acts more like a divine police force taking his orders directly from the god.

Think about the difference between priests and inquisitors.

>>49071416
They are though, because they are differences, but they don't tell you WHY they're different.

It's like if the Sorcerer/Wizard thing began and end at the Wizard having to prepare spells in advance. But at least there, they give like a reason that these two different things exist and are considered separate.

Like if you have two types of thief, and they can do everything the other can do, and look the same, and often have the same motivations, BUT they're called different things, one tends to pick pockets, and the other likes to rob houses instead, do we really need both?

>>49071456
Right, but why can't they just be the same thing? The priest in this case has fighting capabilities as well. It's like they took one class and split it into two separate classes instead of two parts to the same whole, or having one be an alternate, or having them be subclasses of the same thing

The Drizzt series by R.A Salvatore is pretty middle of the road when it comes to Forgotten Realms novels. To be honest most of them suck. His newer stuff is a lot better, try reading his Neverwinter series.

I used to love his books as a kid though, you're just not the target reader here.

>>49071308
Pretty much it, the books are more aimed at teenagers.

>>49071355

okay well

are any of the FR books good? PP is okay for Dark Sun.

Actually, none. Some of his minions have, but my BBEGs tend to be pretty straight-on and confident in their power. The closest they have come is wearing a cloak with a hood which was more because that is normal clothing for that person...

Tell me about grappling, /5eg/. What can one do with high athletics and good dice rolls?

Good systems don't allow wizards to do everything.

>>49068616
Game is well-made and specialized magic user is just one of the necessary roles.

>>49068616
One: No-magic settings make you think harder about what you have to do to do something.
Two: In a setting where there are no wizards, becoming one or the equivalent of one becomes even more impressive.

>>49067055
ok

The new year. The World Tournament is not too far off now. And with a visit from Raditz, well...

"Vegeta's easily a match for me now." the long-haired Saiyan states grimly. "And it doesn't look like his growth is slowing down. We're still about half your strength, Kakarot, but it wouldn't surprise me if he gets to your level by the end of this year. Maybe sooner."

Goku lets out a soft whistle. "Well, have to give him something, those are some good results."

Your daughter has a clearly determined look on her face as she listens to Raditz, then looks to you with a slight, protective tinge of worry. You ruffle her hair softly as Gohan sits by his uncle curiously. Raditz looks to you and continues, "I can tell that you're doing well with your own training, Maple. But do you think you'll be able to face him when the time comes?"

>A. Of course! Champ has to defend her title, after all
>B. If he's getting that strong, strength alone won't be enough to beat him. I'll rely on skills
>C. I don't care if I win or lose at this point, just so long as it's a fair fight
>D. Something else?

>>49067051
>If he's getting that strong, strength alone won't be enough to beat him. I'll rely on skills.

Hi Kato.

>>49067051
>D. Something else?
I've fought stronger foes all my life. Why should this match be any different?

>He wants to beat me. My goal is to not let him beat me. I just need to not lose. That's how I'll win.

Also check this list. Most primate species live about 20 years, maybe 30.

http://pin.primate.wisc.edu/aboutp/phys/lifespan.html

Compared to them humans are weird super ancient creatures. We typically live to about 80, about four times as long as they live. Four times longer than us would be about 320. That's about how old we'd feel to them.

>Jogging Endurance
Literally every bipedal of the Genus Homo had this.
>Ranged Skill
Ours is basically dogshit, as it requires weeks/months of practice to implement to effectiveness.
>Hairless and Skinny
3rd verse, same as the 1st.
>Weak and easily damaged
Are you high? Everyone was easily damaged, and in that regard weak; yes, Neanderthals had a, at the time, decent capacity to operate while injured, but basically every animal can do that sorta shit for a while.
>Obsessed with Art/Culture
In all likelihood, so was every other intelligent, Sapient, species.
>Breeds Slowly and had a low population density.
No, stupid. Actually, we had/have a pretty decent breeding rate, and our so-called 'low population' was because we were at, or close to, 'optimal density' for our species at the time.

>No /tg/, you are the Savannah elf.
No, OP, it is you who is the faggot; we're the Savannah human, because we literally don't fit into ANY categorization like that so neatly.

>>49067094
>Literally every bipedal of the Genus Homo had this.
We've got the best endurance of any genus homo species, hands down. We could literally run circles around Neanderthals and Hobbits. The only ones that might have matched us were our direct ancestors. We outdo all of our cousin species.

>Ours is basically dogshit, as it requires weeks/months of practice to implement to effectiveness.
With our long lifespan that's not much of an issue, but it's important to remember that we've got shoulders that allow us to easily throw stones. While other primates can throw they have massive issues aiming. We're naturally awesome at ranged combat. Most of our cousins had huge issues with it and couldn't have used, say, and atlatl, one of our earliest ranged weapons.

>3rd verse, same as the 1st.
We're easily one of the weakest primate species out there. Primates are strong as fuck, man. And our hairlessness is also unusual, a product of developing on the Savannah and using persistence hunting to jog prey to death. We deal with endurance under the sun better than basically any other primate.

>Are you high? Everyone was easily damaged, and in that regard weak; yes, Neanderthals had a, at the time, decent capacity to operate while injured, but basically every animal can do that sorta shit for a while.

We're not physically strong, and while every species can deal with damage for a while most of our cousins were better at it than we are. It's a relative measure.

>In all likelihood, so was every other intelligent, Sapient, species.
Neanderthals weren't nearly as obsessed as we are, and no other humanoid species that displayed things like burial really went as far as we did at the time with the decoration.

>No, OP, it is you who is the faggot; we're the Savannah human, because we literally don't fit into ANY categorization like that so neatly.

Relative to our cousins, we do. We don't exist in a vacuum and can be compared to our cousin species.

Taking rome

I would prefer, and many others probably would too, if you too a somewhat less complicated map, and also one without Premade nations Just a suggestion

When you finally come to, you're no longer lying in the snow out on the freezing mountains. But, as you pick yourself up and survey your surroundings, you realize that may not be much of an improvement.

You're in a round, empty room, with a large door on the other side your only apparent means of exit. A large monitor hangs from the ceiling, and as you pick yourself off the cold ground, it comes alive with the image of an elderly, balding man wearing a smile that seems to take smug to a whole new level.

For some reason, he seems vaguely familiar, though you can't seem to remember where you might have seen him before.

"Hello there, Tofoo," he greets in a borderline-mocking tone. "Thank you so much for joining us."

>A. Ask who he is

>B. Ask why you've been brought here

>C. Demand to know where Bulma and Roshi are

>D. Something else
