Can't believe i ran out of room...

anyway the Psi command is specialized Hivemind

Research bonus AI/Robotic with specialized Rampant.

My bad.

Also there are more abilities.

Unfortunately for you the AI is VERY crazy and corrupted making it impossible to tell what more is there, but you KNOW its there. Just not what exactly.

JAL was kind enough to tell what it could 'remember' and help with.

JAL is currently in the Reboot Phase and is coming online nicely. Good news is this gives you time to place him somewhere...safe. When he is fully online next turn his gestate ability will kick in giving him a HUGE bonus to whatever action you assign.

Awakened abilities next turn will be the following

HAX: There is nothing you can't hack tech or organic. Psi or magic it don't matter you can hack ANYTHING!
Assembled Bot Corruption: When activated nearby inorganic materials will be assembled together create corrupted machines.
Assembled Brood Corruption: When activated organic materials will be combined to create organic brood units.
Crazed Code: When activated all nearby tech will go haywire randomly becoming corrupted, turning into Madtek, or flat out exploding enough as we as more! During the temporary haywiring all tech is considered 'compromised' allowing JAL to operate with impunity.

AI JAL IS in fact an AI manufactured by AI. He was created because the 'parent' AIs were so conflicting and because of that it was thought he would be useful in Vault 101.

It certainly is a lot to take in. Even the Zeon remnants had to resort to manually detonating the reactors aboard the Birmingham, Sussex, and Gallipoli during Operation Stardust, their attempt to destroy as much of the old Earth Federation's fleet as possible prior to a coordinated assault. Despite being the remnants of a regular military they had no access to nuclear weapons, aside from a few token earth-movers they recovered in Africa and couldn't even transport into space, so how did these cave-dwelling terrorists get a hold of one and actually hide it aboard a commercial satellite launch?

And those three mobile suits capable of leaving afterimages... they weren't all that fast in reality, but the technology that went into them was extraordinary. You've kept on top of every major technical innovation in mobile suit design for the last decade, even field-testing some of them professionally, but you've never even heard of something like that. It very nearly blindsided you.

“We sometimes struggle to believe that even after the whole galaxy has been opened up to us, humanity is still willing to lower itself like this,” you admit. “The amount of sustained effort and cooperation that went into this is astounding for a goal this petty.”

“People really don't like my name,” Mineva shrugs, having long ago accepted the burden that comes from sharing a family name with the politicians responsible for starting a war that nearly ended the human race. “Given that the name recognition got me here it's honestly more surprising it took this long for there to be a coup.”

That's not quite fair, you think. Certainly Artesia and Haman have been both hated and lauded for their relation to Zeon Zum Deikun and Admiral Maharaja Karn respectively, but their actions have more than proven their own qualities and qualifications. Surely Mineva deserves the same chance, especially since she's practically their little sister? Does that association really count for less just because it's not reflected in her name?

“It's just a name,” you assure her. “It happens. Artesia and Haman had the same problem at first, but when people start to understand your values and you build more experience they'll acknowledge you as well.”

“So just hang in there, kid.”

Mineva nods thoughtfully. “Thanks for saying that.”

“Haman will be coming here aboard the Jutland in a few days,” you continue. “Mostly in a personal capacity, but feel free to ask her for advice too. She'd be more than willing to help.”

“Mostly I just want to know who was responsible for the leaked information,” she admits. “It's dangerous.”

You nod, producing a datalog from your belt pouch compiled by ALICE. “Here's what data we recorded. You'll find that one leak occurred in the Comm Bureau, and one likely aboard the lead ship of the Naval strike force based on the comm logs. It's not much, but it's a start.”

“Where do you plan to go from here?” the young Queen asks curiously.

>We'd like to focus on dissecting those mobile suits we fought. Full diagnostic, learn all we can.
>We're continuing our investigation at the Royal Dockyards, as planned.
>We're broadening our investigation at the Dockyards. Someone's been giving other factions a leg up, including your rebels.
>Other?

“There are many things that I could forgive,” the Mentor declares quietly, his voice hushed yet still as hard as steel, “But not this. Not passing the forbidden arts to another. We were to be the last, our... tradition was suppose to die with us. If what you say is true, if the Seer has passed his knowledge down to another, then he is beyond any chance of redemption.” There is a pause, a moment of heavy silence, and then the Mentor continues. “I dearly hope we're wrong about this, Ira, but there's only one way to be certain.”

Heading to Black Rock to see for yourself, you guess, to see if you can pick up the Ascetic's trail.

“Exactly so,” the old man nods, “At such short notice, I can't offer you anything in the way of transport, however.”

You might not need it, you tell him with a shake of your head, you might be able to take a ship from Garuna. If they're still there, you know someone who might be able to lend a hand.

“Garuna?” the Mentor repeats, “Yes, that reminds me. A letter arrived for you, coming from the temple city. It should be at your quarters, for when we're finished here.”

Was there something else, you ask carefully, something he wanted to ask you?

“This Murmur, this god of Voile...” a look of faint concern touches the Mentor's features, “The knowledge he possesses...”

The sorcery, of course. You asked him to bury that knowledge as best he could, you explain, to keep it from spreading throughout the land. He was quite agreeable to those terms – after all, he had his own reasons to resent sorcerers and their ways.

“Then I will trust your word. It is, after all, your duty as a Wanderer to resolve the incident as you see fit,” the Mentor bows to you, “Was there anything else?”

>No, I'd best get that letter
>Kala, this serpent – what would you suggest?
>The Seer is close to defeat. Do you think he'll go quietly?
>I did have something to ask... (Write in)

>>47385965

Doesn't seem like something I can put down traditionally.

>There are standard and modern players that can play legacy and do well
No shit. The rules dont suddenly become more complex just because the format changed
>Turn one meme
Unless you're referring to how legacy leaves less room to fuck up and turn it around, kill yourself
>Deck choice matters as much as skill
Correct.
>Bad players blame luck
Or in legacy they just ended up facing down Miracles and got a blind flip counter. As a miracles player, the butt-hurt resulting from the blind flip is what sustains us. But as a general rule, Correct. Legacy first, Limited second for me.

Generally I find ignorance of formats is what causes most of the hate towards those formats. Tons of stereotypes are true like elitism in legacy and spergs in public edh settings; but some of the hate for formats come from bad experiences like moderns recent Eldrazi Winter, or when someone faces down their first T1 kill deck. Personally I feel that proxied tournaments could save legacy as a local format for many shops. Many times the legacy decks Ill see in local tournaments will be budget decks and "FoW or Die" combo. Proxy decks tend to bring a wider variety of decks as the price barrier stops being such an issue.Pic related, I just like having people to play with

>>47385576
What exactly is the win condition in that deck?

They had better weapons during the Crusade.

bolters are cool. Thats the reason.
>incoming uneeded lengthy discussion on 40k realism

>>47383613
They still used the bolter as the go to standard weapon.

Magic. Dust. Pollen. Nectar. Humans. Depends on teh setting and pixies.

>What do pixies eat?

Nuts, Berries, Insects, Flower Nectar, Sap, Honey (if they can get past the bees), Larvae, Bird's eggs, literally anything sweet or alcoholic made by sapient beings and Semen, they're still fey after all.

By playing 4e.

They're fine in 5e. The major suggestion however is that the Elemental Master might be a little underpowered, but can be easily fixed by increasing their ki pool a little.

It's not popular, I mean it really never was, but as of now it's extremely unpopular despite having IMO the best RPG system out there.

>>47348756
Don't stat them out, just give them dicepools. 4k2 or 4k3 on attacks, damage is probably 5k2 for a katana, there, you're done. They stop fighting when they get a shitload of penalties from getting stabbed.

Polite bump before I go mimi's.

Hope to get some input.

>>47347175
Consider the faction being the steamwheedle cartel

It's the most open cross-faction option. Although much like starting in Stormwind, it does sort of put Night elves in an odd position.

Also, why 5e?

>tfw all the super interesting plotlines that WoD introduced and Blizzard's bungling of WoD killed that will never come back

You will never make love to a professional painter who produces a beautiful army, which brings you immense joy to play against.

Lets continue with tradition and ask for Rhyas1 and Xerxis2.

They thank God didn't fuck up pSkarre edition.
She still has Ritual Sacrifice and Dark Guidance.
Feat is take a damage per model buffed which with the new Warjack Points makes me think she is still a top caster.
Lists planned
Skarre
Inflictor
Nightmare (hoping for a change to Prey, give it more range for activation of it)
Skarlock
10 Bane Knights
10 Bane Warriors
10 Raiders + UA
Necrosurgeon
Fill up the rest with random solos like Raider Captain

I fear I've been doing wound allocation to models in a unit out of line of sight.
If I had wounds left to allocate, but no one in LoS, I'd discard them.
Now I'm seeing the new FAQ for firing at models behind vehicles and it looks as if the wound pool can kill models out of LoS but they get a save of whatever's in the way.

>plz help

>>47384197
Link? I was under the impression that wounds were always allocated near to far regardless of anything but Precision Shots.

I'm currently wrestling with the idea of getting a real job with my degree or pursuing music which makes me happy. I have no student debt to pay off and every job I've interviewed for in the last five months has sucked balls. Turns out you have to have experience doing things in order to not get a job that sucks balls and even though I have a decent resume and basically ran my own painting business last summer I still "have no experience"

>>47374371
How're you set for money? What's your degree? When you say "pursuing music", in what capacity (producer, singer, etc.)?

I wish the ERP people weren't so militant and spammy. I understand that they're just hoping that the eternal cycle of mods changing will leave them a window where they can one day return, but them acting like they do is largely the reason no one wants them here.
