Victorian setting with technological advancement and spiritualism.

Tolkienian fantasy is heavily romantic yes but you can.move away from that easily. The trick is to not elegize ye auld farming days when everything was idyllic and people lived in peace. Generally Dark Fantasy settings do this well, but pass up on the Optimism and progress of the enlightenment for "everything is shit forever, when it used to be great when demigods rules the world" or some shit.

The victorian era was deeply romantic m8

I disagree with their school-zoning policies.

>>46238327
Because they won't let me FUCK them.

They're degenerate scum.

They're both sharp sticks. Damage isn't quantifiable into hitpoints.
So y'know. Whatever. You stab or slice the bastard you want dead until they're killed.

Probably overthinking this.

>>46237956
scimitars were primarily used as cavalry weapons and, as you can tell by the shape, primarily slashing weapons, while longswords could be used in more varied manners

Scimitars for less armored, long swords for more armored.

> Ability scores
D&D without ability scores would result in autists burning down the WotC headquarters.

But that's the one they most need to nuke.

Change the alignment system a lot. I don't want it gone because alignment is very real and very important to the cosmology in D&D, but it seriously needs an update.

I would suggest something like a series of polar beliefs similar to that Camelot system, the name of which is escaping me at the moment (if its actually Camelot I'm gonna kill myself), but with numbers where one end is, say, -5 and the other is 5 with 0 in the middle and these numbers pull you to lawful/chaotic and good/evil. That way your characterization is more individualized and playing to your alignment isn't so nebulous while still being so necessary.

The Imperium of Man with no Space Marines, Fantasy Races injected into Sci-Fi, or external threats? Sounds boring. Like incest psyker-family drama wreaking the galaxy boring.

Hey look its this tread again.

Torn to shreds by the myriad of hyper aggressive species, organizations, and factions that hate themselves and what they've become a lot, but hate everyone that isn't them even more.

you fucking know who he is.

>>46236704
I genuinely, non-sarcastically, have no idea who this person is or why anybody cares about him. Please, enlighten me. I don't know him from Adam, so why is he important.

>>46236516
like that, but with less scales and more skin. At the moment.

Think like, minor barbarian hero; 1/2 Mongol, 1/3rd viking, 1/6th scottish highlander. Tools around, adventures, is a badass. Then goes roaming into distant china and finds out she's a scion of a major noble house and has a legendary birthright as one of those 'civilized' and 'settled' people she's spent her whole life looking down on. Oh, and her mother is alive.

It's a trip, she doesn't know what to think about it all, refuses to stop acting like a barbarian, and most of the civilized folk think she's just insane. Pretty sweet though and a real blast.

Oread Monk that I'm honestly having a bit of a hard time figuring out. Basically, she was raised in a monastery atop a mountain and after a while decided to go on a quest to look for the best mountain views she could find. The intention is to make her comically plain. She doesn't like fancy food, prefers sleeping on stone to a soft bed, and that sort of thing. Not wanting much, she tends to casually shell out her money to whoever she comes across, paying for strangers' drinks and such. She also takes all jokes seriously.

Probably about 50/50 with the extremely rare one that just runs

Get hired by the Inquisition, trained as a sanctioned psyker, and used to fight more heretics, probably becoming a Witch-Hunter herself.

Usually they're screened from when they sign up, as I can't imagine it being very difficult to pick out a psyker gene. Genetic purity is usually a qualifier for the Sororitas anyway, as they're big on hating the mutant and have their own Hospitaliers for that.

If she's mostly ok with the idea and can control her powers pretty well (or they're minor powers to being with) then she might leave her order to be trained as a sanctioned psyker, or receive training with an Inquisitor.

Otherwise she would probably seek martyrdom in battle over suicide, potentially joining the ranks of the Sisters Repentia towards this end.

Step one: Toss it out.
Step two: Come up with a good idea instead.

Huh. I have that book. Never actually used it, though. My uncle gave me it a few years back, along with a stack of other DND books.

>>46234949

because people have a really hard time to imagine things outside their small world build in their minds.

And small dicks.

NO!

THAT is the powergamer's motto!

To stat the enemy is to begin to know the enemy!

If you know the enemy and you know yourself, then in one hundred battles you shall not lose a single one!
