I think its animus can be life saving especially on a caster warlock who doesn't want to take an axe to the face. its not perfect but its there. also yeah transfer past that.

Second for Menoth.

why'd you build at 50 instead of 75? i'll say i play in a meta of mostly mk2 35 point games and it often feels like a lot of stuff doesn't blossom fully til 50...feel like it'll be the same in mk3 and that's annoying

Call them an arch-lich

A) Change what it means to be a lich so it's not just evil wizards willing to sacrifice their humanity to attain immortality, thus letting good wizards become liches too.
B) Make the lich remorseful; 1000 years of loneliness tends to drive them mad, but there's always the chance a lich would swing the other way and realize "hey maybe other people are actually worth hanging out with and I should be less of a dick to them." He probably won't be great at doing good, but he's trying!

Why did we get rid of Fear/Intimidate again?

I think Menace and Skulk combine in a somewhat interesting way. The only ones it doesn't work great with are Deathtouch and Flash.

I really thought they had a good thing going with Skulk.

Literally a dead mechanic if you go up against a deck with cards of the same color, literally the best combat evasion mechanic if you go up against a deck with cards that don't share the same color and don't use artifact creatures.

Having cards that are only effective when your opponent plays specific colors harks back to the era of Circle of Protection, Boil and other ridiculous sideboard hosers. It's not modern magic.

I mean... you're apparently starting at first level, what are you expecting?

Predator Autocannon becomes Heavy 4


If there's anything too ridiculous, or especially unfluffy, call me out on it because I really want to forge that narrative.

>>47611386
>Predator Autocannon becomes Heavy 4

Considering they made the leman russ exterminator have a heavy 4 autocannon I believe the predator should get the same treatment.

>>47611361
The lascannon feels stupid, lasers don't explode.

I see you haven't made them tougher either. Any reason?

Mainly just depends on gm/players.

Google angry gm. He has a whole schtik on combat pacing.

The tldr version of his articles- during combat he asks for what the pc does. If there isn't an immediate answer the pc essentially looses a turn.

>>47606153
fate

im totally serious

Really depends on the players. In my groups, some of my friends think ahead, and are ready to go with their actions. Others, have to stare down, re re re read their character sheets, and hum and hah over what becomes just a half action aim and single shot.

The lizard people are technologically advanced, having spent most of their lives in seclusion from the world due to geographical conditions. As such, other species seems just as alien to them as they do to outsiders. They rarely give out there technology, as they are cautious to what each species could do, though outside of that they are fairly apathetic to the politics of the world, only striving to pursue more avenues of science.

I feel a common theme for lizards is the jungle, and somewhat rightly so, but I've always thought mountains would be more interesting.

FCG
Yeah.

Thanks heaps brah

Can my PCs find mechs and then activate them? Or do they need to start off with one?

>>47615340
Without the feats/class features I think they just can't repair or upgrade them? Classify them as companion vehicles or something.

>>47615340
The archetypes come with one if it says they do. One of the feats gives you one.

Who's responsible for making Fate and Time's prewritten spells retardedly strong in Mage 2e?

V20. I've talked about it a couple times over the past week, I think; I'm playing an 8th Gen Brujah poncy asshole in a group with an 8th Gen Caitiff Private Investigator, a 12 Gen Ventrue Doctor, Caitiff Nurse(whose Domain is the hospital she and the Ventrue work at), and Gangrel(whose Domain is the city block he lives on).

We're playing in Chicago, in the 90s, and my ST is relying heavily on the 1e Chicago By Night book, based on the glancing I did at the wiki and the fact that he wants Tyler to be my Sire(because apparently adding in another 7th Gen to the area would screw up all the politics, and despite her only really fitting in terms of what her Generation is--I had a write-up for how my dude's Embrace went down, and I'm not sure she's really the type to stalk a guy for a few weeks, then step in to offer him the Embrace when he gets stabbed in an alley and left for dead)
>"Played"
Currently running a 2e Mage game, with an Acanthus, Obrimos, and Moros. Last/First session consisted of them meeting each other properly as a Cabal for the first time, then chasing down an android for killing a guy and taking his clothes. The Obrimos and Moros double-teamed him with some Forces and Matter spells to cut his power for a bit, then melt his joints into place so he couldn't move.

Next session is gonna start with them walking him into the Obrimos's Sanctum, as the nanobots in his 'blood' start to fix his joints

Can we use this action?
http://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/47344547/#47396645

Rolled 50 (1d100)

Action 1
Delegate the preparation of defenses and/or camoflague of our tower and Preemo to Bane, who are more experienced in fighting monsters and surviving monster mayhem.

Plan is to have defenses in place if we need them but to not make too much attention.

Action 2
Have the CEO go around looking again for deals where we can work in exchange for resources like before.
>Let's make a deal

“Obviously the quality of Konoha’s leadership leaves much to be desired.”

The last thought to go through your mind as Itachi Uchiha, the man indicated to be your new sensei, left your house.

Had you hurt his feelings? You hoped he wasn’t that fragile- though he didn’t seem angry, just sort of disappointed.

Minato, the Fourth Hokage, seems frozen to the spot. He cannot believe Itachi just left.

Eventually, Kakashi Hatake, the Hokage’s right hand, speaks.

“Well, now you’ve done it, Tsuki. Cut right to the heart of the matter.”

You turn to the white haired-man, who has put his little book from earlier away.

“The Hokage wants to keep you safe- all three of you. For a new teacher, you could certainly do worse than the prodigy of the Uchiha household. Looking back, I’m grateful that my students didn’t reject me so off-handedly.” he says, walking toward the Hokage.

“The Hokage didn’t make the choice lightly. All ninja spend a few missions chasing cats, Tsuki. Just because you think you are above it, doesn’t mean you are. And besides- I hated cats. Still do.
Anyway, excuse us.” he says. He wraps his hands around the Hokage’s waist- then *poof!*- both them of have vanished!”

Is that some sort of jutsu? Interesting.

You feel…

1. Somewhat vindicated. You’re still not happy about this.
2. Remorseful. Maybe you shouldn’t have been so unpleasant.
3. Nothing. You’re glad this interruption has ended.

I like Danzo, but Itachi's pretty cool too.
