Never made sense to me either.

So neckbeards can have a snake lady to waifu.

Could just be a translation from their language to Common using whatever terms other races used for them. The other races would be inclined to believe that the Purebloods are what the race is supposed to be, since it looks like the rest of the races. In contrast the Abominations have very little in common physically with humans, dwarves, or elves, aside from having arms, so they call them something ugly and unnatural. For the Yuan-ti, these are just sounds, having no inherent meaning in their language, so they just let it go.

Fucking horrible plan. Never change something dramatic about a character unless you have their consent. They'res nothing more buzz kill than your paragon of purity that you're having fun playing being fiated into a servant of a dark god. It kills your motivation for roleplaying the character that you've been developing

>>47288711
Bad idea, I would say. A change fire magic -> ice magic might go alright but better if you asked the player beforehand. A change good -> evil without asking the player is probably going to go badly and they might even kill off their character and make a new one.

That said, I have no RPGing experience so perhaps take what I say with a pinch of salt.

>>47288711
Terrible plan, as others have said. Major changes to a character that players have no control over are bad.

>using an amulet that would forcibly change the elements of the spells one of my players used, as well as grant other bonuses

Would the player be able to take off and not use the amulet? And would using the amulet in the first place without knowing what it does result in something bad for the players even if it only happens once?

D&D-style cursed items are okay since they negatively impact a character's abilities but can be removed somehow. They don't change a character concept. An item or ability that has bonuses and drawbacks can work well if the player can choose how to use it.

Make them play with 3d6 instead of 1d20 for a session or two.

>>47288192
Kill them and get a new group

>>47288192
try telling them that death or having a arm cut off every other battle is fun. OR that the spell casting in combat is silly, Sorry, the kind of people that like D&D well never like a "let's set and talk everything out" story system

>>47287650

Well, you've neutered the central premise of "Cyber" in it by removing the advanced technological aspect, and introduced "punk" as a setting genre into fantasy, which usually isn't conducive to the rebellious nature "punk" implies.

Still, might be able to make it function. Instead of advanced technology, it could deal with magic and the machinery/systems that govern the universe's laws, and advanced mathematics and rules. The "punk" aspect could imply that there's an overpowering order that imposes its will over everything, and the PCs and associates act as sort of universal law hackers that bend or break those rules without attracting too much attention, often employed by those overpowering, imposing forces for their own purposes, be they straightforward in their goals or part of some inscrutable plot.

You might want to take a look at The Elder Scroll's Dwemer, and their whole practice of science and reason, plus the entire fictional science of tonal architecture. Still, the Dwemer actually used a lot of technology, though much of it clockwork and somewhat simple in comparison to computers and other such "advanced technology," at least in practice rather than principle.

>>47287379
cyberpunk implies advanced technology, no?
if it's not advanced it'd just be modempunk fantasy, no?

>>47287379
But cyberpunk tech is advanced usually. Why would you drop VR?

>>47287353
Got a map for your setting?

>>47287378
Nah, it's very early in developement. And as such I am very open to suggestions, even to suggestions for the map. I'll post the outline, seeing as there is some interest. Be back in a sec.

I'll skip the creation myth for now, and start from the point in history where things begin to matter.

Some 800 years ago a small country got overtaken by a cleric of a lesser deity, the god of travel, created by the greater gods to lord over the domain of travel, as well as the travel between planes, and most importantly the passage of the souls of the deceased into their appropriate god's plane for their afterlife.

The cleric turned the country into a theocracy, converting all citezens to the faith, by whichever means necessary. As in most Sword & Sorcery worlds, the more followers a god has, the more powerful he is, so the god of travel got a bit of a pick-me-up.

The theocracy instated many priest-engineers, and by fully exploiting their god's power quickly advanced 'technologically'. They used portals to the elemental planes as infinite power sources, used it for everything. Many people flocked to the country. Eventually the theocracy found a way to weaponize the portals, essentially creating siege weapons, easily devastating much larger armies. They eventually overtook the continent either diplomatically or by force, acting in a similar way as the Roman empire, assimilating all the conquered peoples, giving them citizenship, as long as they pledged allegiance. The theocracy reached it's pinnacle as the once lesser deity of travel was now on steroids, other gods feared, and resented him. At this pinnacle of it's power just as it set out to conquer other continents the god vanished, presumed dead. The theocracy imploded in on itself as rebellions to reclaim the previous country's national identities rose.

That was 600 years ago. Now the continent is stabilized, for the most part, broken into more countries than had existed prior to the theocracies uprise. The world is covered in ruins of a once great culture, with great magic and technology littering the street, but simply unusable. The gods got their followers back, and stabilized their seats of power.

GURPS

really

most if the weird west systems hold up okay even if you gut them of magic and ghosts and steampunk and whatever else, but I keep hearing people mention dogs in the vinyard for regular western settings.
