Actually, when I got into detail of Sephren's personality details, no one argued with it or said anything bad about it. >>46855189

Only one anon argued that his kinship with Cromat seemed similar to Nissa's control over Ashaya. Which seems completely on the different sides of the scale of being in relation to another being.

All right, let's see what I roll.

I actually plan on using one in my upcoming campaign. It's going to be sitting motionless in a dark chamber, while it mindcontrols an entire nation.

Also, they are known in some editions to trap humanoid races underground with them until they mentally snap and become feral frog people.

Sex in the missionary position with the lights off while holding hands

My group's pretty weeb so yeah, they're kind of a dumb tradition. I remember the first one I personally kicked off was more of a bath house episode: after finally acquiring all our party members and marching for days on end, my paladin had the bright idea that a nice hot soak might be good for morale. So he went and dug out a hige hole, lined it with this waterproof skin we had, and instructed the druid to fill it up using their create water cantrip. One wizard's scorching ray later, and we were all laughing up a storm sitting naked in hot water. A hearty meal, courtesy of our wizard and ranger, and we were soon so chill that the DM sent fairies to party with us and guide us to our objective.

that sounds extremely awkward and/or boring

No shit? Having breather parts with some jokes and worldbuilding and introducing some new NPCs is incredibly important in pacing. You cant have grim dark on the, blades edge, on a mission, three seconds before midnight tension all the time before darkness induced apathy sets in. Seeing a burned down tavern is much more impactful if you remember visiting that place and had some drinks there a couple sessions before. It also gives structure to a campaign.

I don't have any, but I need a small terrorist group for my upcoming campaign. D&D5e, low fantasy setting, and I need them to be truly evil, not sympathetic antiheroes.

Any ideas?

>>46871214
It's mostly my players doing the terrorizing.

A psychotic cult wants to sacrifice people who practice magic to summon an eldritch horror

>>46870813
The eldritch horror is actually just a remnant of an ancient civilization

>>46870859
He's successfully summoned, but only because the whole "sacrificing people" thing pissed him off.

I'll stick around for a while longer. I believe we were at the shore of a great lake when last we left our insect clan and there was something disturbing the water's surface.

>>46868391
Why are Dwarves so thick

>>46868911
For the CON bonus.

As it was my first try at doing something like this, I remained pretty simple with the concepts, early on I gave them a "starter set" of characters to get the idea rolling. I'll also post whether or not they actually successfully recruited them.

Basic Tank (Heavy Armor / Shield) - Recruited
Basic Archer - Recruited
Villager/Cabin Boy - Recruited, later lost
Magic Warrior/Battle Priest - Recruited, later lost
Soldier/Duelist - Recruited, probably the group's favorite
Teen White Mage/Priestest - Recruited
Teen Black Mage/Sorceress - Recruited
Soldier/Secretly Noble Sensor - Recruited, later retired
Giantkin Mercenary - Failed to Recruit
Streetrat Thief - Failed to Recruit
Cavelier - Failed to Recruit
Weird Elemental Military Captain - Failed to Recruit, but was allied otherwise
Court Summoner - Recruited, then was promptly killed
Barbarian Shaman - Failed to Recruit/Killed on Sight
Dragonkin Sorceress - Failed to Recruit/Killed on Sight

You can kind of see how this went, they murdered most of them that weren't handed to them. And that's fine.

I'm not going to keep this alive artificially forever, but I thought there might be some people on here who had played a Fire Emblem game and went "Hey, there should be a dude that's like X except Y or does Z", or other tried and true NPC ally concept.

Note, the players were in charge of playing these NPC's in combat and about bringing them along keeping them with them. The Cabin Boy was essentially sold into slavery.

Galba, Skull-Knight from Skull Island
Race: Human. Ostensibly. Maybe some giant in there.

Unarmored tank and bruiser. Far too large to wear normal armor, he fights in a loin cloth and with an ornately etched iron club. He has tremendous staying power and is essentially a human wall of meat. He wears a dinosaur's skull as a full face helmet, and prefers not to remove it. Ever.

1. Galba is a native of the distant and hideous Skull Island, a tropical hellparadise where dinosaurs roam. Traditional courtship among the primitive natives of Skull Island revolves around bouts of ritual single combat between a woman and her suitor. At 7' even, Galba is among the smallest and scrawniest of the manlets of Skull Island, and really never had a chance. Consumed with self loathing, he lashed together a bundle of logs, paddled out to sea, and eventually washed up on the mainland. He's been wandering ever since.

2. Like all natives of Skull Island, Galba is a violent idiot. Unlike the rest, he has a poet's soul. His personal failings led him to appreciate the beauty around him. The emerald leaves of the jungle scintillating in the wind, the shrill cries of a mother pterodactyl and her young circling overhead. The mainland is a strange new world; a softer, brighter, more beautiful one. Galba desperately wants to find friends to explore this new, less shitty world. He wants to experience all of the great things about it, and will go out of his way for a chance to experience new things.

3. Galba has a pretty limited vocabulary and often supplements it with monosyllabic grunts and vocalized pauses. He's understandable, but obviously foreign and not capable of quick or complicated banter.

Galba is looking to for food and friends and will gladly smash things in return for items. He is far too large to wear any suit of armor that isn't either made for giantkin or custom made for him. Armoring him should be a significant challenge with significant payoffs.

But if they are "awakened" and have higher order thinking skills, might they consider a carnivore lifestyle barbaric?

If humans have no problem eating their lesser-evolved brethren, why should fish-people?

Get out my Pokedex and scan it, of course.

Damn that is one cute Pokémon. Would definitely follow.

>>46866015
It's a ghost Pokémon, always assume it's going to try to kill you.

I just don't talk about them, for the most part. Current Character will occasionally sit down and write out a letter or two before bed whenever he's in a major city, or the likes. Kind of hint at them, but don't really talk about them.

Talk to the DM beforehand, say that "rescuing the family" is a story you'd rather not play out, nor would you enjoy them being killed to up the drama. You are adults, so you can work out for yourselves what is acceptable or not.

Wouldn't any point-based system like GURPS or Mutants and Masterminds do the sort of thing you're looking for?

>>46863986
Potentially, though to be completely honest I don't know terribly much about either system.

Something more gameplay-oriented than simulation-oriented would probably be the best choice, as the series plays with the idea of similarity to D&D in some respects.

Mind spoonfeeding a retard on where Raggi's playtest rules can be found? I have been hoping he would get around to releasing them.

He mails them out to people who are part of the Pembrooktonshire Gardening Society (like a fanclub type deal).
