There's no such thing as a "genuinely new and unique race" because nothing is ever completely original. However, your problem is very easy to fix : make up your own settings and lore. Even if you think you're bad at it, you'll at least create something that fits your taste.

>>48089465
The issue with that is I'd have to DM. Annoyingly, being the DM stresses me the fuck out for no good reason. I just wanna play in a world that's fresh and exciting, you know?

>>48089490
You could play a more collaborative system and work with your GM to build the setting. I'm the GM for two Fate campaigns, and while I handle most of the worldbuilding because I'm autistic and obsessed with it, I have my players contribute lots of lore too. In one campaign they each wrote basic lore for their country of origin while I handled the specifics and connecting all of it, for example.

How do the people you play with feel about the issue ? Would they be up to work on an original setting ?

People don't like being constrained by rules, even if they were going to follow them in the first place.

You are literally playing the walking rulebook.

Because the unrightious don't like to be kept in check.

it's starting to sound to me like alot of people don't know how to play Paladins well

I know a character in soul caliber had a circle style weapon, so maybe not? Most of my dnd groups would call them a glaive.

Yes, maybe? iirc was based on some ancient Chinese weapon. Blizz saw it, then said "yeah lets make it bigger, shinier and yet a bit darker at the same time. And let's add sharp things on it", then again maybe not

That's just another variation on the theme of chackram.
I guess they look exotic and 'cool', and they needed something unique for a race that had to look as alien from a typical western-styled human civilization as possible.

I'm playing songs in the middle of a fight... what the hell am I doing?!

"Another town, another place
Another girl, another face
Another horse, another race
Eatin' junk, feelin' bad
Another night, goin' mad
My woman leavin' I'm so sad
But I just love the life I lead
Another beer is what I need
Another gig, my ears bleed
We are the dunge crew"

Would using the Goliath stats for a Firbolg be reasonable?

>>48086125
yeah thats perfect

Thinking of an upcoming plot point where the party finds a ring of controlling a golem, then they go to not-Egypt to uncover the golem and be able to use it in future sessions.
Any suggestions on ways to personalize the golem or tweak it for different combat options?

You know, dunking plain shortbread cookies into orange juice actually sounds pretty good.

Went to a restaurant and ordered lunch. I dunno, you wanted something mundane.

Friendly reminder that I'm still looking for input on my Sisters of Battle fandex.

For the first legion!

Nigga did some things wrong tho.

>>48083481
Everything bad happening can be directly tied back to him being too much of a condescending ass to Nahiri. He could have just told her that he was tired from making an angel and a giant ass chunk of silver made to imprison demons. Or he could have sucked it up and left for 10 minutes to check the hedrons.
But no, he had to act like a douche which provoked Nahiri to fight so he sealed her away, meaning she wasn't there to stop Elf Hitler from awakening the Eye of Ugin meaning the Eldrazi got free, meaning Nahiri was fucking pissed when she got out and devoted all her energy to exacting revenge on Innistrad.
It's 100 percent his fault.

Sorin did something wrong, and should be punished

Nahiri also did something wrong, and should be punished

Stake the first, shatter the other, and then tell WotC to stop being edge-lords in their narrative decisions.

magiccards.info hasn't updated in forever. What's up?

Building Alesha, any spicy stuff Edh rec doesn't know about?

Any thoughts on how fun it is to play it?

Should I build Arcum Dagsson artifact toolbox, or Daretti stax? I can only build one. I will be playing primarily multiplayer.

Because you touch yourself.

Because a 3d printer that makes minis of equal quality to GW's costs several thousand dollars.

Plus, it's not like you can just print assets from Dawn of War and expect them to turn out as tabletop-quality minis. Video game models don't have nearly the poly count needed for that.

Because the machines which are good enough to produce miniatures to GW's standards are extremely expensive, so there's no saving to be made.

Also GW have the convenience of an actual retail arm and produce a lot of stuff in plastic which many people like significantly better than the stuff 3D printers work in.

...and there are probably some people who feel bad about pirating a company's IP. Film studios still make big profits even though stealing their product is much easier.

I'd swap out strength for wisdom since its the Druid stat along with perception and survival shit.

>>48072896
>would it fit?
Fit what? Night elves? Those specific characters? A specific person? Need more info...

>>48072896

Give them wisdom and endurance boosts for charisma drop as well.

Just aestheticsm amnd nothing more.

SERENA
THESE IMAGES
OPEN THEM AND TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM

Most of the party's formative years were as victims of his crimes in the past. To destroy him and have revenge means erasing the foundation of who they are.

>>48068304
feels like the twist needs to be something that nobody is aware of but at the same time is way too obscure to figure out.
If someone figured it out then burying the guy in a tomb or something for a few hundred years should solve the problem.

too avoid this you would need to have one of his sins be something so infamous that the only way for it to be forgotten is to destroy entire civilisations and burn libraries to the ground and whatnot

>>48068304

>He doesn't even know who cursed him anymore, they're probably long dead
>The only thing he always remembers is the truth of his curse
>By some trick of fate, even if tries just fucking off and being a hermit he becomes famous for some reason
"Did you hear about that old guy living in the woods? I've heard he lives alone to achieve enlightenment." Queue people showing up to learn from him Its literally the god of fate having a laugh causing this
>Most of the time after his regeneration he's a complete non-threat. He's forgotten all magic/martial skills. Its only after he's lived long enough to be tired of living that he gets his BBEG shtick started and becomes powerful trying to break the curse.

MaRo rarely does anything right, but I have to give it to him today.
She didn't really need to be white, but you could look at it this way: We had a UG walker literally last block. Do we really need another? It would make more sense if she was GWUU, but on some level he's right: She's blue with green and white overlapping.

>>48065826
It seems more like 'Maro is excusing what Development decided' honestly, since Development does most of the work on planeswalker cards, not design

>>48065826

That's fine, I guess, it was a consession to game balance. They wanted her and Jace to have cards in the set, and having two powerful planeswalkers being mono blue would probably be too much. It seems to me that Tamyio, if printed again will either be UG or simply Blue, assuming what Maro said was indeed the reason.
