Convenient return, attempted scathing comment, on-topic but incredibly basic topic.

If you want to bitch about quest threads just bitch about quest threads you passive-aggressive fuck.

If you actually played 4e and had a rulebook in front of you and had a wiki on the character you want it would be easy as shit to work out what you want.

Either ask a real question or unabashedly bitch about something, don't half-ass both.

I want to marry him.

Rifts was made during a time where AD&D was seen as the gold staple of RPGs, and as such is a hack of AD&D with 2-5 more dice rolls for any combat turn, and 100 more skills.
Then there are loads of subsystems for magic, chi, psionics, biomancy, and so on that all work just differently enough that you'll want to read up on them before they come up in game, vastly differing tech levels with various levels of (in)compatibility everywhere.

The setting itself had shit like wild west bandits firing revolvers that become magical simply due to the sheer grit of the bandit, who rides a dinosaur that may or may not actually be a robotic drug mule disguised as a dinosaur.
Giant tyranid swarms devouring all life in what was once the south western united states and mexico.
A man who took his inspiration on how to lead people literally from watching History channel documentaries on Adolf Hitler, and now runs a massive military faction that is humans only and believes in purging the mutants and the witches (except for those that can be easily controlled by their superior pure human brethren).
A federation of magic users, both good and supremely evil ones, with access to all sorts of crazy techno-wizardry in addition to their powerful magics, and a few godlings among them

And that's only a brief glimpse of what's happening in north america, leaving out the return of merlin in england, or the huge leaps in technology in germany, the gargoyle armies, the warlords of russia, the horsemen of the apocalypse in africa, the demon kings returning to asia, and FUCK SOUTH AMERICA.

Let alone the shit going on in the galaxy at large or the other two major galaxies.

But that is the one strength Rifts had, you could play more or less any concept or idea within it, and there would be a place for it somewhere in the setting, likely with stats written for it as well.

Bump because the mere idea of this makes me harder than MDC armor

Harlensque,

The Coastal Staircase Kingdom.

We've had a few threads about Minecraft servers recently, can someone give me a tl;dr of all these mods?

I keep reading about economies, factions, and regions.

I last played properly in the early Beta days, when multiplayer was first becoming a thing.

Can I just explore and dig and build stuff, or do these mods make the game work differently?

Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil.
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters.

>>47008125
You are good when you are one with yourself.
Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil.
For a divided house is not a den of thieves; it is only a divided house.
And a ship without rudder may wander aimlessly among perilous isles yet sink not to the bottom.

You are good when you strive to give of yourself.
Yet you are not evil when you seek gain for yourself.
For when you strive for gain you are but a root that clings to the earth and sucks at her breast.
Surely the fruit cannot say to the root, "Be like me, ripe and full and ever giving of your abundance."
For to the fruit giving is a need, as receiving is a need to the root.

You are good when you are fully awake in your speech,
Yet you are not evil when you sleep while your tongue staggers without purpose.
And even stumbling speech may strengthen a weak tongue.

You are good when you walk to your goal firmly and with bold steps.
Yet you are not evil when you go thither limping.
Even those who limp go not backward. But you who are strong and swift, see that you do not limp before the lame, deeming it kindness.

You are good in countless ways, and you are not evil when you are not good,
You are only loitering and sluggard.
Pity that the stags cannot teach swiftness to the turtles.

In your longing for your giant self lies your goodness: and that longing is in all of you.
But in some of you that longing is a torrent rushing with might to the sea, carrying the secrets of the hillsides and the songs of the forest.
And in others it is a flat stream that loses itself in angles and bends and lingers before it reaches the shore.
But let not him who longs much say to him who longs little, "Wherefore are you slow and halting?"
For the truly good ask not the naked, "Where is your garment?" nor the houseless, "What has befallen your house?"

Whoops, posted my attempt at a thread only a few seconds after yours. Anyway, feats are by far the most requested according to official feedback. So what feats does 5e need right now?

Alright: how do you build monks?

There should be a feat that allows you to use your two handed weapon with one hand. Of course, you need to have high enough strength to do so.

A few years back I partook in cleaning out a LGS of all the horrible grognard neckbeards. I was looking for some Shadowrun stuff, this was back when 4E came out. Turns out the place was run by an old highschool friend of mine that I hadn't seen in years. We get all caught up and I make my purchases but notice that there's this group in the back that's been giving me dirty looks since I arrived. I asked about it and turns out they were the local grognard clan. A group of NEET neckbeards that show up daily and chase away the regular customers except for their select friends. They don't spend money and they're generally assholes. The owner's too beta to chase them away so I offered my assistance.

The first that needed to be removed was the catpiss guy. Every game store in every country around the world has a catpiss guy. He's the guy that smells like catpiss. I brought my gaming group in and invited the owner to join us in our Shadowrun campaign. Shit was going to be cash. Low and behold, catpiss guy was there and tried muscling into the game. Just some fucking total stranger, and his plan was to nerd his way in with edition war lecture. So in the middle of his stammering speech on why 2e was the best edition of SR, I straight up asked him why he smelled like catpiss. Apparently no one had done this before. At first he denied it and after a few others in my group confirmed that yes, he smelled like catpiss, he mumbled some confusing explanation about a glandular problem combined some kind of spray that keeps dogs away. I don't know but it was the way he said it, we all just started laughing. He went red in the face and quickly left the building in borderline tears. He came back a few more times after that but any mention of catpiss followed by a chuckle, even in passing would have him run out of the store.

>>46988302
The next one to go was the Manwhich. Now the gamestore had a minifridge in the back game room for people to use on long campaigns or when a tourney was going on. The Manwhich had a tendency to steal peoples foods and deny that he'd done so while eating it in front of them. A food kelpto. From what I understand, this type of person is also common to gamestores, but not as common as catpiss guy. This wasn't his only sin though. He was a Magic player and liked to spit on his opponents cards while acting all apologetic. He had been escorted out more than once due to this behavior but always came back. Typically when stories of dealing with this type of person are told, hotsauce is involved in some kind of trick sandwhich. We weren't so elegant. Instead we took photos of him, flash and all, every time he was caught bent over digging through the fridge. We printed the pictures and posted them all over the wall that the fridge was against. We'd also make airplane divebombing noises to accentuate his fridge assault. It was childish but man did it piss him off; he did not like anyone noticing him doing his shit. Eventually people were just making fun of him to his face and he stopped showing up.

>>46988317

Next was the gamergirl. Of course she was a hamplanet, or porkbeast as we called her. Porkbeast loved attention. She dressed all whiteface goth and write poetry about her elf having sex with his slit wrists or something suitably edgy. One onf of the guys in my group had a sister. She was hot but had a case of bitchy resting face. She occasionally joined our campaigns and typically played elderly spellcasters, she loved them sarcastic wizened old wisewomen. Anyways, it came down to her to remove the porkbeast. She showed up while porkbeast was doing her routine and put her down in a way only another woman can. Everything was judged, openly and loudly. Porkbeast called on her fawning allies only to find that they had dumped her for the hotter girl. Porkbeast left and only returned every now and then to pick up something and never to stay for long.

Meloetta just transformed back into her regular form. You were able to calm her nerves a little, but not fully.

The crowd cheers as you take your spot to fight Geno, the last member of the Elite Four. The announcers play things up, doing a short bio on you both.

Geno is an industry leader at Prosapia Corp, a dragon master, and a certified genius. He rose to the top of the Elite Four at a young age, and holds the regional record for most recorded one-shot moves in league matches.

You know a bit more. He used to run Team Imperium in an attempt to minimize the total amount of crime in the region. He changed his mind about the approach and has been spending time trying to dismantle and fight it instead.

They do a short bio on you as well. The orphan from a small town that rose up from nothing. A badass with a heart of gold. The background music on your bio has a slightly evil sounding guitar. They do a lot of comparisons between you and Robin, framing her as an innocent sweetheart. It’s all technically accurate stuff and of course a lot of what you've been up top, good and bad, isn't public knowledge, but they’re clearly going for a theme. Nothing slanderous or mean, just mild bad-girl stuff.

Geno’s predator eyes narrow on you. He’s sizing you up. Aria takes a fighting pose, but you can see a nervous twitch.

“And let. The games. Begin!”

Geno reaches for his first Pokeball like a quick-draw cowboy. Who will you send out first?

You're both soon approaching the restaurant. The sky is fading from twilight into evening, and there's a slight chill. It's sort of refreshing after a long summer of heat, however. Looking over at Ai, she's staring up into the trees as if there were something interesting. As far as you can tell, she's just daydreaming or something. It makes you laugh, your friend is strange.

She turns back. "Hm? What is it?"

You shrug. "Nothing. You're pretty cool Ai, you know that?"

Her eyes go a little wide in surprise. "Huh??"

Looking over, you spot the place. "Hey! We're here. It's this way, let's go! I haven't had anything to eat all day."

You rush off, and after a moment she steps after. The two of you enter the establishment, and are being led to your seats. Ai mentions that she would prefer a booth, and you don't really mind either way. As the waitress leads you, a voice calls out among the restaurant. "Takeshi, hey! Come sit over here!"

Looking over, Shikadai and his team are seated at a booth.

Is there a difference in power between a servant's skill, and a noble phantasm with a similar ability, if the two are the same rank?
For example, imagine my servant has a Cloak of Shadows as its NP, with a rank of B. Would this be comparable in power to the Presence Concealment skill at rank B?
Another example, Rider (Medusa) has the Mystic Eyes of Petrification at rank A+. What if the hero Perseus had the Gorgon's head as a noble phantasm, that grants a petrification power at rank A+. Would these two powers be equally powerful?

TL;DR Are noble phantasms inherently stronger, weaker or equal to skills?

>>47024169
There's no relation, they all do different things. As a general rule magic system-related skills tend to be hella buff and versatile (which is why Magic Resistance is such a big deal), and at higher ranks Noble Phantasm bullshit trumps skill bulshit in a contest of direct concept-vs-concept conflict

/tg/ is not angry about 5e. Pretty much everyone thinks it's decent or is indifferent besides salty PF players scared that they're losing players.

It plays a lot like a hybrid 2e/3.5e, with a lot of 3's worthless fat cut out. Rules and chargen are extremely straightforward, so is combat. Classes are all useful at some niche, the only ones which are poor are the ranger and to a lesser extent the monk.

>>47022190
Eh, I've seen some confusion on some instances where.. The A word comes into play. Such as raise undead. And again with casters being so powerful, the reveiws are mixed. I'd say it's better than 4e but good luck having the Thread not turn into an intellectual debate, followed by butthurt.

>>47022215
>with a lot of 3's worthless fat cut out. Rules and chargen are extremely straightforward, so is combat.

Sounds like it's ripe for people crying about it being dumbed down, even if they were actually smart changes.

I was building that deck before Eldrazi exploded, same as a lot of people were. It's fun, but I hate TKS in a deck where Aether Vial and Temple pull you in differing ways.

What do you mean Eldrazi exploded? Like after it got banned? Why build a bad version before it got banned?
