Aasimar Light Cleric here.

I basically get all my powers through the might of unbridled nepotism

Why do people consider Arcane Trickster subpar?

He was on Terra, which is much more than most other loyalist primarchs can say.

The only thing this planet provides to the Imperium is warm bodies, which Cults are more than happy to re-appropriate. These Cults often have large amounts of Brood Brothers and other war materiel typically found supporting the ranks of the Imperial Guard.

Off to a good start

Does the whole deploy 9 inches from a unit with infiltrate count verticality?
Like if a units in a building and I need 3 inches to move up into it, do I deploy 6 inches from the building which in total equals 9?

Fresh converted GK chaplain in front of my two GK librarian conversions and Bro-captain Stern.

Apologies for the shitty camera, sister borrowed my good camera without asking.

I like to think of finesse, and wielding weapons with dexterity, as a representation of high skilled sword play. An orc with high strength wields a longsword and does lots of damage because he's swinging it with incredible force. An agile human wielding the same sword does lots of damage because he knows how to exploit weaknesses in his opponents armor and hit sensitive targets.

All weapons should be finesse-able, just to different degrees. There aren't a lot of ways to wield a club, but a monk with high dex would obviously do more damage with it than a peasant, because she could use the club to hit pressure points.

Ironically, the only weapon that makes no sense to be affected by dex is a bow. Everything about a bow is dependent on strength. Want to put more force behind the arrow? You have to pull back further, which requires more strength. Want to aim better? I hope you have the strength to keep an arrow drawn back long enough to aim.

Any weapon can be used with finese if you train enough with it.

>>54924728
In addition to this, every weapon should have a strength requirement. Even if someone is really dexterous, they wouldn't be able to apply their dexterous fingers if they don't have the strength to easily maneuver the weapon.

In the perfect system, both dex and str apply to weapon rolls.

Reposting from last thread. I need a decent flying monster to challenge/kill a level 8 party of four. This creature should kill them if they charge straight in, but be beatable with any sort of prep or good planning. I'd normally make one myself, but I'm in a serious time-crunch and need something quick. Flying is a must.

The party will be monster hunting this thing.

Can someone start making a MEGA for Starfinder?

Well, according to the archive posted there was one out in 2014. I guess people forgot about it or something.

>>54924117
I would be interesting

Newfaggotry and contrarianism.

Its like how /co/ now likes BvS and Scott Pilgrim.

>>54923729
No. Fuck babycarriers.

>>54923137
Without society it would happen obviously but in towns it would be based on a more economic strength as long as the guard are competent.

>>54923137
The same way a setting with multiple species of adjective overload bipedal chirping GODDAMN BIRDS does, by having too fucking many of them anyway and I can't fucking tell their niche apart

Easy, you just say the "law" was wrong.

About Dices:

When you pick your dice it's like you pick your sword, when you throw it it's the swing, when your opponent pick up his dice he's picking up his shield, when he trows it it's his block maneuver.

With that in mind what I can say is that throwing just a bunch of dices and counting the results get's boring real fast,
the best system to deal with dices that I ever found was a "battle of dices" system, let's say I have Attack d4 and my enemy has defense d6

I throw my d4 and he throws his d6. He wins.
I throw my d4 again and so does he. I win.
I throw my d4 one last time, and FUCK YES!. I win

So in this system this test in particular had a 2 win condition, you could make it 1 win, or even six/whatever wins, according to the test.
In this system you also need to use DICES for abylities/skills, you then can add modifiers OR upgrade the dice, you can even add two attributes (eg. AGI+DEX) and make the combat roll based on them.

Different dices on the table are fun, at least for most people, so rolling different dices combinations are more fun (again, for most people) than counting modifiers.

(continue)

>>54923047
Now,let me tell you about double rolls, give the players an action/inspiration/karma/exaustion system, so he can roll again or add another die to the result.
Why?
Imagine the situation, you need a result of 7, you roll your 1d10 and roll a 1, in this test you can roll another die of 1d6, so you pray for RNGesus and... a 6!!! ---->This feeling here is VERY satisfying and player will remember this moment, you want as much moments as these as you can on your table. Also keep in mind that more rolls equals to less extreme results.
This sistem work very well based on consequence (I attack x to cause y) than result (your attack DMG is 17), and the scaling difficult gives a lot of freedom for the master to keep results in check, you want the player to be able to break his opponet arm with his mace? Make it easy, give him a 1 win condition vs 3 losses. You REALLY don't wanna that player to cut of that Dragon's head? Make it 4 wins against one loss, tell him it's very difficult to keep balance for an attack when you're climbing a dragon.

And finnaly here's the logic I used to apply the tests and how the dices reflects a player capability(eg.swordfighting) and conditioning (eg.strenght):
With it you can guess the difficult of a test, example if you want a test that is impossible for someone with basic training make the difficult 7.

D4: Common.
D6: Basic training/conditioning.
D8: Advanced training/conditioning.
D10: Elite trained/conditioning.
----
D12: Domain, you're a master in subject/top conditioning.
D12+D4: You're a legend you're among the best of human race (Bruce lee dexterity or Thor Bj. strenght)
D12+D6: You reached the peak of human limit.
D12+D8: Over human.
----
...
D20+D4: Super Human.

I also have a "precise" sistem so a player can use half of his maximum result instead of rolling his die out of high-stress situations, so a master never lose against a begginner in normal situations.

no

Well I guess thats one why for women to get money in mtg

The only way this would be cool is if everyone voted for themselves and never anybody else thus solidifying the idea that you're here to play the game and nobody gives a fuck about prizes.

Shitkicking everyone in the room and placing first should be good enough.
