Saving your valiant effort.

Anyway, probably either the elf sniper build or the elf martial artist/edgemaster build.

>>46562152
I've never played fantasycraft but I want to because it looks a bit less restrictive and crunchy than DnD/PF and I'd play a Paladin.

Or a commander class (forget its name right now) and go into Paladin at 5 which is how I understand it works. Be martially focussed and use a massive shield to protect the weak and meek.

>>46563930
Yeah, Paladin is an Expert class, so you can take it starting from level 5 if you meet the prereqs.

Captain is a good intro into Paladin, as is Priest or Crusader depending on your style. (Priest and Crusader have the benefit of access to Paths, which lets them pick up Bandage from the first step in the Path of Life rather than needing to spend a feat on it)

You play a pimp. A pimp of justice,

>>46561849
I meant love, not Paladín of Sex.
Still, a pimp paladin sounds hilarious

Well, you see, Anon, a Paladin of Love is a mysterious being. He'll make one soul weep, and bring another man to sing. He can change a fierce falcon into a gentle turtledove. He's more than mere warrior, Anon - he's a Paladin of Love.

He won't seek money, doesn't quest for fame; and it's not for his own credit that he'll work and train. His calling is hard, and it's cruel sometimes, but he's in it to save your life.

That's a Paladin of Love.

I had a character once who was the owner of a brothel aimed at the rich and the influential. He was a girly, cowardly pretty boy who nobody took seriously.

He would kill his targets by poisoning them by inches and then being far away when they died three months later when their liver no longer worked.

>>46561461

>liver no longer worked

What did you poison him with, strong shandies?

So, pic related?

it's legal coz no one is forcing you to buy it.
if people get this product, at this price, it simply proves the business model works

You could just decide not to do it. You'll find something else to do with your time. And you won't really feel any different. I guarantee it.

>to the capital city of who gives a fuck
That's your problem right there.
Think about where the group is, then think of what adventure is there.
Otherwise you might as well just throw a bunch of random encouters at them and call it a day.

>>46561040
I know where it is, it's a city called Felindal in a small kingdom named Dallen in a continent where only a few small kingdoms and fiefdoms still exist after this big magical cataclysm a century ago. I would've gone into more detail but I didn't think /tg/ would care.

Well, the Hunter archetype does reasonably well for most of the game, but if your just looking for "really good, outdoorsy archer man" Battlemaster Fighter with the Outlander background is nearly as good as a ranger at what the ranger does best, and is far far superior mechanically.

>>46560819
>What strong ranger like classes does 5e offer?
Well... Ranger, I guess.
If you're just looking for the shooty longbow action then fighters are a better choice in terms of raw damage output.

So if I choose the Hunter archetype would it make sense to take levels in fighter or rogue?

Gas not so much, but plenty of sci-fi settings have bioweapons. Although in sci-fi context this doesn't mean bacteria or viruses, but rather living creatures made for war. Usually they end up not working and turning on their masters though.

Warhammer 40k, but you're, probably, know that

Symbionts and grafts in eberron

Yes, but.
Yes, but /tg/s are a much more social hobby than many others (it's true! At least, RPGs.) and therefore That Guy has more bandwidth with which to express his multifarious and vile nature.

You will learn as you go through the world, not only are they everywhere, but That Guys are more or less the majority of people you meet on a daily basis.

>>46559393

Nah.
Those People exist in every hobby, every walk of life, ever field, profession, and class.

People suck, irregardless of lifestyle.

>Pathfinder
>Cat-folk Inquisitor/Cleric

Player was apparently a known furry and was damn insistent on filling out the animal theme as much as possible. To the point of "Hey, did you notice I'm a cat-person?".

Post character creation he actually turned into one of my best players. He took it upon himself to learn the rules and explore build options in a healthy way. Also the guy had a knack for improv so it was great to see him roleplay.

Made him a permanent member of the group and he digs it so long as I let him play furry in the settings, with the provision that NPCs will react normally and not just casually ignore a cat-person in a human only setting.

Sounds to me like you realize that this is going to be a bunch of work for free and you don't want to do it.

I want a game about princesses. I don't care if it is in space or in the deserts of not-sahara. I don't care if the goal is combat or political maneuvering. I don't even care if you can be a prince too. I just want to be the princess.

>>46558784
Nah, it's more like there's lots of stuff I could enjoy writing, but I at least want to have the false confidence that there is a limited audience of at least 2 other faggots in the world who would bother playing it.

I realize that it ultimately doesn't matter since I am doing it for fun, but it still helps as a motivational factor. Plus, it's just fun to see what other people like as a brainstorming practice.

>>46558866
What would this even be? Like a text adventure game? Something like a vn? An rpg system?

Maybe just write a book or something

>Universe

Couple things in order Anon.

>The Outer Gods are not universal, they are mutliversal/omniversal and infinite

>Nyarlathotep is actually one of the most powerful of the Outer God after Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth, and in that order. As Nyarlathotep is an aspect of Azathoth.

>While the universe does not care about the Great Old Ones and the various lesser eldritch spawn due to being so far removed from the gods themselves, the universe absolutely cares about the duo Yog-Sothoth (who is beyond all and yet is all) and Azathoth.

Actually, the best way to think of Yog-Sothoth in your game of Yog-Sothoth is an apathetic catholic version of Yahweh or Krishna. All powerful, but unaligned and generally uninterested because he's omnipresent and everything is lesser than him. To catch his attention offers IMMENSE power, but also at the cost of sanity/reality given it's literally all of existence deciding to focus on your existence.

Nyarlathotep you seem down pat though. He's the trickster asshole cunt god who is like an invincible version of Loki. He is also fated to destroy Earth and all of humanity, but until that unknown time he trolls and tortures humans for fun.

I have a hard time imagining Nyarly being caught out by the universe hating him, since the universe is his dad.
You do have to wonder what a Blind Idiot God gains from having someone who does nothing but interfere with things all day, though.
I think the problem you would run into would be that Outer Gods and the like don't really care that they're not cared for. Most of them would be 'in the know' and just exist to carry out their function, although comparing them to parts of a greater machine would be simplifying things.
Making them care means that they're vulnerable to conventional, human thought. Unless you WANT to destroy them with the Power of Friendship, I'd think long and hard about what exactly you want to do with all this.
>>46557822
Hinduism would be a good place to start actually, though rather than Krishna I'd suggest you look at concepts like the Trimurti, Harihara, Brahman and Indra's Net. Maybe I just have an anti-Krishna bias.
Their cosmology is vast, in a word. Would be a good place to gain inspiration from outside of Lovecraftian sources.

Would also recommend reading Gods of Pegana, I'd say that's approaching "the universe just doesn't give a shit about any of its agents" and was written by one of Lovecraft's own inspirations.

>>46558101
I actually always wondered if Lovecraft was partly inspired by Hindu mythology, it seems unlikely given how little cultural exposure he would have had but still.

Also Azathoth is the personification of the big bang, he is not a sentient creature but rather a mass of primordial chaos creating and destroying to no goals or logic, kind of hard to see him being worried.

Hastur is a psychic being (as in has no physical form) and is the embodiment of death, decay and despair. So long as those concepts exist in the multiverse, he will continue existing and spreading them, same problem as wit Azathoth.

Lastly Yog-Soggoth/Sothoth is usually considered to be the space-time continuum. He perceives all possible universes and all pasts and presents simultaneously and can re-arrange and mess with them as he likes. Once again very little is likely to phase him.

Nyarlathotep is slightly different in being the most 'human' of these beings. There are a few theories about this, my personal favorite is the idea that cultists who try and contact Azathoth cannot comprehend the vast chaos if his being and so they reconcile it into something they can understand by projecting human qualities (like malevolence) onto it. As the mask of Nyarlathotep was used more frequently and his 'identity' became more established the psychic energy being used in the communications eventually caused him to gain a life of his own. Arguably he is the only being that may have a sense of self-preservation but there aren't many things dangerous enough to make it an issue.

That's pretty based.

From what I've seen in the fluff, Orks are generally immune from chaos corruption from a mixture of both the ork race's version of the hivemind which keeps the race more or less of the same mindset and the fact that most orks don't know or care about the actual concept of chaos. But it does happen, but I've only seen it in full on warbands in the fluff. I'd say your boy would need to realize that the gits he's with are weird and probably should get some good ol' insanity melting direct exposure to the warp.
