>I want it to mechanically attack with Advantage, but is that "too strong" an attack bonus?
Yes, that is far too strong.

Just make it a +x weapon instead, maximum +3 if it's legendary tier. It doesn't sound like much, but that's a huge difference in 5e. Could also make it like flame tongue, simply adding 2d6 damage with no tohit bonus at all.

>>48230853
I've heard it said that Advantage is +5, but also that it's the equivalent of +3.25.
If it's the latter, I don't see it as being overpowered lacking any other bonuses to hit.

You're going to have to get over that anxiety if you want to play a social game.

>Wants to play a social roleplaying game.

Do society a favor and stick to Vidya Gaems.

Another change:

Material components can now work in one of two ways. Either the component is sacrificed at preparation, or it is sacrificed at casting. This means that for some material components, you only need one piece, but for others, you need one piece for every time you want to cast the spell. This is to make it to make the system a little bit more like classic Vancian casting without sacrificing the simplicity of the Wizardry/Final Fantasy 1 system of spell charges that 5e uses.

1a. Add tons of new feats.
1b. give martials access to feats as part of character progression separate from the current rule of sacrificing ASIs to get feats.
1c. Don't give casters access to free feats.

2a. Everyone always rolls at least 2d20 for any action. Both rolls benefit from modifiers.
2b. On a roll without advantage of disadvantage, one die is predetermined to be the success/failure roll, and the other die is predetermined to be the side effects/consequences roll. With advantage, the roller chooses which roll is which.. With disadvantage, the DM (or player victim, if a DM is rolling) chooses which roll is which.
2c. Consquences on a high roll are good for the roller. Consquences on a low roll are bad for the roller. Think of things like: You succeed in intimidating the guard, but you see him signaling to his buddies. There may be trouble later. OR You fail to seduce the barmaid, but she seems to like the effort behind your attempt. With a glint in her eye she hands you a free drink and offers to put in a good word for you with her Dad, the town shopkeep.

3. Long Rest/Short rest is 7 days/1 day by default.

4. Crafting rules that aren't retardedly underpowered.

5. Stop being so afraid that people will break the combat game and just let people have fun classes. Bladelocks, Beast Masters, and others all get buffs to be less terrible.

6. rebalance the martial classes to be useful in the 2/3rds of the game that aren't combat. Primarily through introduction of new feats, see above.

Rework the skills into a background system such as used in 13th age. It feels like a much more natural ways to do things imho.

Nope. That would be sort of dumb in most types of game we play.

>Is there a reason why people would not use magic for mundane applications?
Depends on the fucking setting, but generally speaking the mana needed for magic comes from somewhere and draining it away for some useless bullshit isn't very practical

>>4822817
You see, I wasn't looking for setting-specific shite. I was searching for the first idea the people get when they think about this. Like, if a setting EXPLAINS this then ok, but USUALLY there is next to no explanation for these building blocks of magic.

Had you actually read the whole post, you might've noticed.

>>Is there a reason why people would not use magic for mundane applications?
Because people hate magic, it's difficult to scale up, magic users are insane, they did but everyone who knew how to do that died, antiwizards destroy any attempt to do so, et c.

read about formats
then buy chinese fakes according to uour keikkaku
end

>>48227857

I have slightly and I think modern is the most attractive format right now. Keeping up with standard isn't something I'm likely to do.

Depends how far down the rabbit hole you wanna go.

If you just want to try it out, just buy some preconstructed decks, or a bulk lot & play with some friends.

If you want to get gud, start by drafting, make friends with the people who win. Learn from them.

The next set has a prerelease this weekend, I recommend going to it, it's usually pretty newbie friendly.

>Purple: The Ukmelh Dynasty (Dark purple are current minor Dynasites that are fighting for claim on their Empire)
The Ukmelh Dynasty is not to be confused with the name of their race, but that is the name of the family that rule the empire at the moment. As a species thay call themselves Travlanok, and they are a race of long limbed bipeds that hail from the jungle planet Ke'Otom They have a very large empire but it is not well enforced or protected so many minor Dynasties pop up and claim parts of their empire as thier own. But with weapons bought from Eshi merchants have made the Ukmelh Dynasty the supreme rules for many years.

>Dark Blue: This represents the border of what is explored/safe routes to use FTL, and what is not safe and/or explored.

I could use some help to flesh out other minor races, star systems, events, etc. I would be greatfull for any help

What kind of atmosphere are you going for with this setting? Space western, constant war, political intrigue?

>>48227092
No elves, orcs, or dwarves isn't a creative idea, /tg/! It's just as bland as having them.

I included orcs, dwarves, and elves as 'dead' races. The new world was built on top of theirs and crushed it down into the endless expanse that creation sits on top of.

They recently started popping back up again as shades and have been causing trouble in some remote corners of the world. No one really knows what their endgame is, just that they like to harp on about their warlord when they aren't killing the shit out of their surroundings.

An idea I had for God.

God can, and will die eventually from old age, and when that happens he let's the highest of the clergy know and then they start gathering people who are the purest of any one thing. For instance, the most pious or vengeful man alive.

This ends up being like electing a new pope, but crazier. All across the world people are defending these people who are or claim to be the world's most X man.

In the end God will choose from one of them who is still alive and ascend them to Godhood.

When this happens, they are welcome to shape the world in any which way they see fit.

In the game I ran, there had been three before. The last was the best warlord in the world and the 2nd admired that in him and let him take his place. So the third was a god of warfare and weaponry. And that's how gunpowder was invented.

That's the original "Making of Exalted" video that came out with First Edition. It's not terrible.

Titan is more like a slang name for Primordials.

>>48227334
thank you!

Also, are there any 2e to 3e conversions for the other exalts? one of my players wants to be a lunar pretty badly

>>48227504
Irked did/is doing a Lunar rewrite for 3e. It looks like it's basically complete from a quick skim, though I didn't really read through it since it's not relevant to me, so it could be dogshit for all I know. (Irked seems cool from other stuff he's written so I assume it's not.)

>Is millenium blades worth 70 pounds /tg/?

I think so. There's a lot of gameplay in that box.

>>48226613
theres no solo mode...yet i think?

but ask yourself this

"do I like nerd pop culture references"

if NO, then you probably should stick to a more serious deck building game.

also this game requires a lot of timing so be careful. Like each phase is 7 to 8 minutes or something. and keeping track of the card packs is a little cumbersome. took me like 30-40 minutes to clean up since the card store was full of friggin cards from 10 or so sets

>>48226652
Are the battle phases timed too?

>>48226591
I don't DISLIKE them, but I also don't see the need for them. They're a relic that never may the transition, and don't really have a place in the 40K setting today that isn't occupied by another faction, at least in a way that would merit their own special faction.

>>48226776
You implying that they can't make a place for them. It's quite easy, /tg/ had a thread a while back doing so.

>>48226591
their helmets make them look tiny angry elephants to me.

thinking about it, a race of tiny angry elephants could replace the dorfs nicely.

Oh i guess I shouldn't have called it call of cuthulu? English isn't my first language so it can look bad on me, I just want some game help

>>48226002
Call of Cthulhu is already a game.

add some brainstorms, remove some ponder/preordain to taste.
add another set of counters.
add some bounce and boardwipe.
add one or two creatures.

You now have a decently aggrivating casual legacy draw-go deck.

>>48225692
what is some good blue board wipe?

I have the following cards:

4x Dwarven Pony
4x One with Nothing
4x Great Wall
4x Ebony Rhino

I also have $2 and a stick of gum. What legacy deck can I build with this?

All I've ever gotten was I myself wrote some songs about the campaign I ran a year before. For example, this is written about one of the PC's from his perspective.

Pic related, I'm basically wanking myself by even posting this, though I'm just interested in the thread and figure I would post the most on topic thing I could think of.
