Origins is a pretty neat set, very cubeable, I think. m14 is doodoo tier.

Find a complete set of 4x Commons and 2x uncommons of a particular set or block is always a good start for cubes

If you're taking this cube seriously, 1x Booster Tutor and 2x Ashnod Coupons are a must.

Completed Research:
>Lightning Rod: With the increasing battles against the Ahkam and their habit of using electricity and lightning as a weapon your Think Tank has a stroke of inspiration derived from the old lightning rods used at Agona's fortress on the perpetually stormy moon of the Lavafather

>Advanced Cyborg: A nimble and sophisticated enemy the Advanced Cyborg has a complete metal armor covering their body while not hampering their speed. They seem to fight with increased intelligence than the standard and shoddy models you've already encountered.

>Vaporizer Weapon: The weapon the Advanced Cyborgs carried was a prototype being developed and tested in the facility. A short-ranged but highly destructive blast of heat and overcharged energy is built up then fired. Living up to its name it flash-boils and disintegrates flesh, metal and plasteel with ease.

Of course not. If they need something to destroy doors with just give wizard knock as a cantrip.

There's a portable ram in the SRD equipment section, at least in 3.5

why would you not...

Your Supers System of Choice (R)

I'd love to play in a Naruto game. It seems like it'd fit a table top RPG well, with people being shoved into group and sent on missions.

I mean if you want a system that is inclusive you could use Hero System...but it's about as dense

>Allow Dontos to speak his mind

You could see this coming from a mile away, you knew he still did not like the idea but it was better to speak about it rather than allow him to stew on the thoughts, “Of course Dontos. Whatever it is.”

Dontos sighs, and dabs away at the small pool of sweat that had collected on his brow with a handkerchief, “I am worried.”

“About?”

“You. Steadhold. Everything. She is still in a poor state of condition, the outermost wall is still in partial ruin, the bridge only serves our smallfolk and is not sound enough to carry our troops or others in defense of Steadhold. We are hardly half of our allowed strength yet we spend resources on ships we will have little access too.”

“And the marriage will more than double our troops and help to secure our borders.”

Dontos ruffles himself up and is silent for a moment watching Lucas and Pryor go at it. Pryor’s defense is keeping pace with Lucas’ offense, easily parrying and pushing away his attacks. Lucas looks to be getting frustrated, profusely even. His attacks are getting sloppier for it. He over extends and Pryor takes a chop at Lucas’ arm and he backs off in pain, attempting to hide behind his shield. The crowd is a low murmur, not being accustomed to the duel of a proper Knight.

“Brynden, I do not wish to be away from Steadhold. If that bloody bastard attacks Steadhold… I do not think she will stand. Even with the relief force from the Chelsteds.”

“What is this really about Dontos?”

“I… I couldn’t save her, she’s in that bastards tower now... Brynden. If you-”

“I won’t die Dontos. Or be captured. Or allow Steadhold to fall.”

“You cannot promise me that nephew.”

Pryor is leading an offensive now, taking strikes at Lucas’ shield here and there. Pushing your Knight across the field and against the barrier. He rolls to the side where a sword would have landed upon his shoulder and bounces his shield into Pryor to gather some distance. However the Knight of Pebble is entirely unfazed, and instead pushes back locking his shield with Lucas and pressing against him into the wall. He unloads a few strikes into Lucas’ side, and takes advantage of the position to bash his head into Lucas’. The crowd gets into it again as Pryor continues to unload on the cornered Lucas.

Lucas looks to be in an incredibly bad position, attempting to press Pryor off with his shield. He digs a strike into Pryor’s side, and for a moment gains the advantage. Lucas dives to the side, neatly rolling away from the wall and his opponent, and reforms into a kneeling stance. You can see his breastplate heaving and he is clearly trying to suck down as much air as possible at the moment. Pryor allows the moment of respite to last, swinging his arm to stretch out and circling around to Lucas’ side, he is clearly less out of breath but is all the same hurting.

The crowd has grown quiet in anticipation, the two Knights watching each other carefully. Your eyes follow Lucas’ movements and you see him ground his back foot, a quick dig into the ground, a second of movement. Pryor seems unaware, visual of minute details obscured by the frog-mouth great helm he wore. Lucas waits for his moment, Pryor’s sword falling to his side lazily, his shield still held up, and he takes it. The younger Longwaters twin launches into his opponent, the crowd roaring into life again as he does so, Pryor not being entirely without his wits manages to get his sword up just in time to land a blow on Lucas but slides harmlessly off of his shield. Lucas follows through with his charge, and wraps his arm around Pryor’s back, pressing their shields together and onto ground with Lucas mounting the Valemen. His shield is pressed firmly against Pryor’s, digging into his chest at an awkward angle, his knee pinning Pryor’s free arm that is desperately reaching for his lost sword. Lucas meanwhile managed to keep his sword in the tumble and raises it for a pommel strike, ringing the Seven Hells out of Pryor’s bell his head whipping to the side by the single strike and arm falling loose. Dontos grunts and you can tell the bout is over before the herald raises a flag, the squires and pages rushing the field to check on Pryor. Lucas has rolled off to the side, throwing his helmet off and breathing deeply. the crowd cheering for the last of the local favorites.

Do a heroic charge with my soldiers into the heart of the opposition.

It works

>>45493302
Subterfuge. I send three small groups out over the wall, while distracting the enemy on the far side of the castle with torches, counter-battery fire from balistae and generally looking like I'm going to try a counter-attack.

Those three groups have different duties
>Group 1 is my swiftest runners. They will go to my allies and alert them to my situation
>Group 2 will infiltrate the enemy camp and poison their supplies and sabotage their siege engines
>Group 3 will harrass the enemy with skirmish tactics, sapping their morale, killing off foraging parties, burning their camp and generally making life as fucking miserable as possible

>>45493302
Personal duel motherfucker.

Humanity gets uplifted to fight against a race of spacesomething that cannot be talked to.
Uplifters are a race/races of aliens that cannot fight because <reasons>

Gay niggers from outer space are actually a race in this setting.

One of the most prolific races is actually an amorphous slime comprised of nanomachines, microbes, and multiple different amorphous animal species.

its a cover up, wizards doesnt want the public to lose faith in their vendors

>>45484744
This is just wizards covering their own ass, expect mysterious punishments to be dished out on the down low in the coming weeks

>The unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another

because I'm not a retarded gun-toting hic/k/ ?

>>45483982
/k/, I love you but your memes suck.

>>45475640
Depends om the setting.
I like mine with an alignment of any sexy.

There's no way to justify them being lawful without misconstruing the entire creature or the nature of allignments.

>>45475778
Not really, if you play up the seduction aspect by making it so they only drain your soul if they get you to willingly sleep with them instead of forcing themselves on their victims. Make them about deals, offering a night of immeasurable pleasure in exchange for eternal damnation.

Mekton Zeta is the most unbalanced, autistic game I've ever played and I love it for that. Making a character and their mech can easily take 4 hours. The actual play experience isn't that great but playing with the numbers is a ton of fun. You feel like an actual engineer struggling with issues like weight and power.

>>45473942
On one hand I can appreciate that, the idea of looking through the catalogs or whatever for specific parts has an armored core kind of appeal to it...but like, fuck that's a long time. Are there any fanmade resources to speed that stuff up?

>>45473970
I'll be honest: if you want an actually good game you should probably look elsewhere.

They clearly are enjoying themselves, but in many cases, I genuinely feel sorry for the NPCs, which isn't surprising considering that I'm the one taking on their roles. Part of me wants to enforce a "You guys have to play good guys" type of ruling, to point out that they are abusing their powers and ruining people's lives with often wanton cruelty , and to point out that it's hard to try to come up with sympathetic NPCs if all that does is provide them with some new target for bullying and cruelty.

The other part recognizes that the NPCs don't actually have any feelings, and that my players are just bullying imaginary characters. Trying to protect the NPCs against the bullying PCs isn't any sort of kindness or justice, because the only real people who would be even inconvenienced would be the PCs.

The only tangible argument I can make to protect these figments of imagination is that while the players love playing in this way, they end up disliking their own characters, and frequently ask to change them. Of course, they fall into the old pattern with their new character, but it does seem like they have some measure of regret.

>>45469567
Actions have consequences, there are plenty of spells and skills that can be used to identify them as the culprits, Paladins would have access to those spells and skills.

Sick the feds on them. A good ol' Paladin hit squad.

>>45469801
This. Sounds like their characters need a reality check.

>>45463641
Aw yeah.

Also Genie, I just remembered something we SHOULD have done.

...a Double Wedding. With Lillian and Abi'gails little bro.

Followed by a Double Honeymoon
