>>45850834
Unless I asked for it it better be a bitching enchantment or be full of money.

>>45849688
Make him absorb aluminum.
Boom, done.

>>45849688
Set a deep pit-trap for him.

The fall should kill him, especially with all that extra weight.

If it doesn't because of generic "toughness", just pour water in until he drowns - no way he can swim. Or if he doesn't need to breathe, pour in pitch and lamp oil, then toss down a torch.

>>45849688
hit him with stones and wood? Easy

Convert the players in your group to dead ones instead.

>I cant help, only wine

>>45849280
No. The donated books we have are for 3.5 and not pathfinder. "Donated" meaning my friend got them at a yard sale for $3 each which includes one copy of the player's manual, the dungeon master's guide, and the monster manual.

>>45849194
Get a job so you can afford good cards and adopting to the changing meta.
Don't worry about the third point, most top-tier decks are autopilot anyway.

>>45849194
Play Limited formats where you sit down, open packs and build the deck. MtG expansions are designed with Limited and Standard primarily in mind these days (allegedly), and most fundamental precepts and skills you hold in Limited are usually transferrable between expansions. Your deck is always new so you don't have the time to goldfish and wonder during play if you played as well as you goldfished.

Play a living card game like Android: Netrunner instead.
You buy complete sets of cards for a small cost, there is no real secondary market. The complete base game is $35 MSRP, but $25 through most retailers.

here's an explaination of android netrunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAslVfZ9p-Y

>You have 10 seconds to explain why this isn't the single best D&D setting ever written.


Because owning a personal demi-plane is the shit.

>>45847713
Extra planes and demiplanes basically destroy immersion and setting integrity.

>>45847936
No they don't.

Saying the power didn't do what he thought it would is a pretty clear warning. The guy was powergaming, he wanted immortality so bad he ignored the warning that the magic wasn't going to do what he thought, and then got mad when the magic didn't do what he thought.
In short, he needs to learn how to understand words and not powergame so hard.

>>45845165
No, you did perfectly fine, the player was just the one who ignored the world's magic lore warning, the slab warning, and the people who gave him the rumors warning

>>45845165
Yes and no. This kind of half on him for going through with it anyway. I mean, there was a literal 'do not fuck with this hella fucky magic shit' message written right on the rock itself. It's not like no one told him.

One thing I would've done is affirmed one last time OOC that they wanted to go through with it.

The biggest mistake I see here is that you gave a plot hook with a thread that apparently never went anywhere. It just existed to lead them to a pitfall, which is something you should definitely avoid as a newer GM.

Shit new roll to find clues mechanic for retards

How and where?

The Primary Characteristics are now 1-100 like everything else.

Jerrist IV was an abominable planet. Deep in the Corporate Sector, barren and charmless, the world was home to two industries - mining and manufacture. The majority of the population lived in slum-like conditions, in dire and destitute poverty. Above the slums towered the factories that most toiled in, and above those the palatial residences of the wealthy, for whom the vulgarity and misery of life below was nothing but an eyesore to be overlooked.

Our story begins in a smoke filled room, in a tiny house, with a poor couple and their only child.

Well I guess you won't be needing this.

>>45862073
It’s been several days since your confusing meeting with Naja left you with more questions than answers. Well, you have one answer at least. It’s a very big answer. Sort of the answer to everything really. So how can you keep getting out of bed when you know that all life is pointless?

It’s actually pretty easy. You just do your best not to think about it too hard. Ultimate cosmic futility has little bearings on your plans here, after all. The hypothetical meaning to life might have been lost forever but you’re still here, Hiss is still here and Teleran is still here for the former to sink her teeth into. Nothing’s changed.
That isn’t to say what Naja revealed to you wasn’t shocking. It was huge. But it was practically TOO huge. The grand design of Creation has next to zero relevance to the plans and schemes of mortals.
You don’t tell Hiss anyway. You don’t think she wants to know.

But aside from contemplating the ultimate lack of divine purpose what else have you been keeping yourself occupied? The days have slipped by fast but not so fast that you haven’t gotten work done.

Working on Naja's body.
Sup Ouro you're early

With Hom if possible

“How accurate is this?” asks Matthias.

“The maps of the original topography are accurate” says Isla “though they could have changed since the Killing Frost took up there.”

“And these troop masses and locations?” asks the Azure Empress, indicating the groups of tiny figures in Isla's image.

“We've had scouts and observers getting as close as they dare” says Jianxi “numbers are mostly accurate, but increasing. Locations we're pretty sure of.”

“It looks like magic is the best way in” says General Sofia “teleport in, kill the giant cloud of cold, and get out.”

Baroness Sofia is quick to contradict her double “we've tried deeper infiltration using magic, specifically teleportation and we've lost a number of good mages that way. They'll be prepared for teleporting.”

“Mortal mages” points out the general “a Goddess can overcome those restrictions.”

“Or fall into a trap” counters the Baroness “it's too risky to teleport directly into the heart of the enemies forces” she points to a huge mountain where the Killing Frost is (supposedly) residing. “Teleporting to or near this entire mountain range is suicide, but we've had mages teleport too and from these locations and get out again.”

“Those are the plains though” says the general “starting there means fighting or sneaking through two armies and getting past this fortress or whatever this huge structure is here.”

“We think its a coterie of Alyouns” Isla adds into the conversation “Ice elementals with strong sorcerous powers – each the match of a master mage, if my research is correct.”

“There, see?” says General Sofia “thank you Isla for supporting the logical view: a teleporting strike is the best way.”

“Wait, I wasn't-” Isla starts to say. Baroness Sofia cuts her off.

“What that means” she says “is that they have a lot of powerful spellcasters who will have placed wards over this whole area – none of which we can scry by the way.”

You tried, but you don't think even you can get through without using a lot of your deific power.

“Sneaking past them is the best way” Baroness Sofia continues “mages are great at magic, but mundane methods are often overlooked.”

“You're forgetting” Shahulzer points out “the possibility of flying in. The snowstorm covering the place is strong, but we might make our way in.”

“We can do it!” pipes up Ebonsong “my sister and I can get through any stupid storm.”

“Much as I won't enjoy it” says your double, shivering a little “an underground approach might be best: the dwarves can find their way into this place via caves, and even tunnelling if need be.”

“This is all well and good” says Jal, wandering through the illusion and poking at things “but like, who is going? Cos if its an army I don't think we have enough dragons to fly in and stuff.”

Who is going with you to battle the Killing Frost?

Characters?
For this vote please pick general numbers, exactly who will be chosen in a follow-up vote.

>None, I go alone
>Small party (3 or so)
>Big party (6 or so)

Troops
Again, just numbers, specifics to be decided in later vote.

>None
>Infiltration force (a hundred)
>Small army (a thousand)
>Large army (ten thousand)

>>45843864
yes you can
and its called Lawful Evil

Magic Missile is an Iconic spellname and it would be far better to change Protection from missiles and its Ilk instead!

Frankly I feel the fact that you opposed the name change in the first place puts the motion under suspicion. How can anyone be sure you didn't "Suggest" the idea of this request to those poor gullible woodsmen?

>>45841366
I am also in favour, it would reduce the redundancy in my department as well! Though we're sort of using 'self defense sphere' as a generic term for any spells that use, well, spheres and are violent in nature. Suramakh's Slightly Scalding Self Sufficient Sphere of Succour, 'Fire Shield' in the parlance of the brute and the fighter, for example.

>>45841366
I suggest 'Mighty Magic Mages' Missile for Meetings with Malevolent Minions'

Then it can be easily noted down using only a zigzag. Much more convenient for record-keeping.

>>45837690

>Is there a simple canon source that depicts them as something other than scheming and corrupt bourgeois types?

Anon, you're talking about politicians here.

>>45837690
>Is it just me, or do they seem evil as shit?
The same question could be asked of every faction in Warhammer 40k, and the answer would be the same for all of them.
"No, they actually are evil as shit"

Before you speaks a deep voice, tinged with a mix of disgust and disbelief. The dragon looks to the sky, eyes narrowed in accusation.

"Is this my fate?" The beast asks. "To become servant of a pup, hardly able to stand?"

The sky does not answer, causing it to huff, defeated. With that it returns its attention back to you.

"What is your name, pup?" It asks.

"Sarah," You answer. "Who...what...are you?"

"I am Sigmund," The dragon answers proudly, wings extending to their full length. "Master of the skies, Demon of the Isle, and Bringer of Death."

>"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sigmund."
>"Does this make you my pet? I've always wanted one."
>"I think I'll just call you Sigmund."
