Sphincters are muscles so stopping yourself from shitting yourself is just a simple STR roll, which most adventurers can make easily.

By not being little bitches, for one.

maybe they do, that's for you to decide anon.

most people probably considered adventurers a little insane from the outset. the normal people stay at home.

Not much, Humanity gets another strong defender, and Saitama becomes happy as he can now get into a decent fight every once in a while.

I like dice tricks. They're a bit more interesting than flat mechanical bonuses. Too many of them can be annoying, but I think a smattering of them used appropriately can definitely add to a system.

I dislike it for the same reason I dislike L5R's roll and keep: it makes calculating probabilities a bitch and makes throwing fair encounters at the party significantly harder.

I dislike them, OP, because manipulating dice is similar in effect to just adding a modifier, but takes more time to resolve.

For example, re-rolling a d20 and choosing the higher result means that your average roll would be higher, just like adding a modifier. But one requires you to roll and read two dice, which means more time is spent on the die roll rather than on the scene it is meant to affect. It gets worse for more complex dice tricks (i.e. ones that involve more dice and/or rolls), and tricks that are sequential rather than simultaneous (e.g. you can re-roll but must keep the new roll even if it is worse).

The dice are important because they provide chance and excitement. However, the excitement is strongest when the "roll" stage of the turn is completed quickly, and adding more dice does not improve it. For my own games, I house-rule out re-rolls and dice tricks whenever possible.

If it's meant to have a fair dose of humor with going Deadpool tier, yeah it works.

If it's trying to be serious, it's Rob Liefield at Image tier stupid.

TIERS ARE USAGE-BASED. A Tier 2 deck may be better than a Tier 1 deck in a specific Metagame.

Currently own Abzan, but it's Ben losing pretty bad at my LGS these past couple weeks. Thinking of switching over to Jund finally, but idk if my meta is right for it. There are 3 Jeskai Nahiri, 2 Burn, Merfolk, Bant Eldrazi, 8-wack, elves, RG-Breach, Tron, and a couple other odd decks not worth mentioning.

>>48783652
Junk should have a better match up against merfolk and burn. Also it has loxodon smiter and voice against Nahiri. Have you tried worship?

"The Board of Directors has come to a suggestion.

Security Director Sarfos will be made acting Commander and Admiral in charge of the strategic and tactical command of the FFOD in regards to warfare and battle planning.

Our Pilot Hero will be made Captain and Pilot of the FFOD, in charge of piloting and controlling maneuvering and mobility operations and correspondence with navigation and engineering.

The two will coordinate, one looking at the overall strategic situation, the other using his piloting skills to carry out the technical operations.

Biggy is to be named emergency backup pilot in the event Pilto Hero is incapacitated.

Construction
ECO, Marty use [build] and some rare materials to build Sarfos his own War Room on the bridge of the FFOD where he can accurately coordinate his entire army both on and off the ship, as well as the ship itself.

Action 2
"Axum we bought you a bandit army and a mercenary army, make good use of them. I hope you are using STAKO and Exon to good effect too."

Training
Biggy, Exon, can either of you train specilaized shock troops for the FFOD for boarding and counter boarding operations?

MAD
JOY. Delays, we're doing good stuff here keep doing good stuff there!

TRADE
We really want those samples that was promised a long time ago that was our next goal.

Get on the horn to Umbra.

Hey there we're planning to start the development of Super Soldiers and frankly... we need a Researcher.... We also require any information we have on Super Soldiers to speed things up, we'll send feed back your way naturally. You guys seen our FFOD?.

Secondly...please tell your leader that it seems Skeller is below us and seems to be closing in....That's why we want the supers.

They fucking suck.

They're like elves but worse.

I think drow are pretty cool but ive never had a pc play one.
As a dm i'd have to work with the player so that we are on the same page on what to expect.

Literally depends on the setting.
In mine, they're mostly insane or at least have a personality quirk due to being tainted by the goddess of evil.
>But throwing off the oppression of my evil kin-
Your evil kin that lie in the mountain literally eat babies and sacrifice people outside of the mountain for power. They've been so tainted by the goddess of evil and chaos that they can't even hold a civilization together without help from dragonborn or people who exploit them. Most people who live outside the mountain don't even know how bad it really is, which is your only saving grace, really, because there are about a hundred drow in the whole world that don't live directly outside the mountain or in it.
You need to list a psychic compulsion for your character to fulfill- I'll approve it if I think it fits. In exchange, if you fail a saving throw against arcane magic, you can re-roll it once every short rest.

Oh boy, with the last thread I'm expecting one of three things.
