>Why have Warhammers screwed up the whole image of Chaos so much?
You mean Chaos role in cosmology?

>>45375706
all of it.
Moorcock's Chaos is like really CHAOS.
Warhammers' Chaos ends up an extradimensional mordor, nothing more, with gods being pesky petty superhumans (figuratively).

Well yeah, I think their main problem was stagnation which didn't allow them to show Chaos vs. Chaos plot, also, I think they tryed to make it more close to Moorcock's Chaos when made Malal who hates not only Order, but Chaos Gods, like spirits of true Chaos from Elric series who hates even Chaos Lords because thought that they are too lawful for Chaos.
Bbut by the way, fiction always will be higher than games.

>>45375127
You don't, thats their strength. You can only see the effect they have on things around them, but they themselves are invisible. Also make them hot or cold or something.

>>45375127
You smell them.

>>45375127
Doesn't that one about Fire apply to all elementals? I mean, if you're going to say that light is under Fire's domain, then anything visible is Fire.

Every time you fail any kind of charm/mind-altering spell and the would-be target is now staring you down extremely pissed.

My character (who lived in a swamp for his whole life up to this point) saw a river, jumped in to swim across, and was promptly swept away. Though it worked out well enough for him, he's a coward and got to avoid the ensuing fight.

I wish I could filter images so I could stop seeing this ugly fucking fanart in every thread. I like UT but Christ am I sick of this picture

>>45372080
I had a dog. He wasn't magic, he was just a dog who did dog things, like marking and barking when strangers approached. The players loved him for his utility, and he was pretty good at avoiding real danger when they had to fight. They ended up studding him out and making puppies for each of them to keep after the campaign ended

>>45372155
Heartwarming.
My setting has a near extinct race of bird men, and one of the players is dead set on encountering them. I'm thinking about having him find an egg that's almost ready to hatch, and end up getting a young one to raise (they mature quickly compared to humans, and he's an elf at that).

>>45372250
Could be good as long as it doesn't become a burden. They'll probably give it to an orphanage though

>>45371825
It's not. People do things for all sorts of reasons, all that matters is you have a reason to move forward

>>45371825
Is your character interesting though?

>>45371825
Let me guess, the DM is going to bullshit up that some faggot sacrificed your daughter and used her death to fuel some faggot spell to open a faggot hole that your dwarf fell into.

I had a character who was trying to earn money to open up orphanages for no real reason other than kindness.

So the DM decided to throw child soldiers at my character. Like, man, the fuck? You know I'm going to kill them and it won't change my alignment or whatever the fuck you're trying to do.

Sometimes DMs confuse me with their need to make things arbitrarily dark.

Fucking wreck their shit, of course.

Even if this Legion were one of the bigger ones, on its own it'd be no match for the millions of Skitarii that would undoubtedly be guarding Mars, whole Titan Legions, and all the Space Marine chapters or Guard regiments that would be willing to join in the fight - and lets not forget that Mars produces the absolute best stuff, so they would not be fucking about.

Worst case scenario, they could just open the vaults and see how this random space marine legion enjoys having thousands of crazed machines up in its business.

Send a communiquee out

"First chapter that gets those bums away from our doorstep gets a free landraider" 15 minutes, and the biggest inter marine battle after the Badab War later, the invading space marine legion is slaughtered with no survivors.

I'm particularly glad that modern is now literally the colorless, flavorless, soulless format it has always been deep down. Maybe this is for the best.

You know what, fuck it. I'd like some feedback on two perks:

-Countdown to Chaos (200CP) (50% off: Aesirite): Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Time is a terrible thing, the bane to any who seek eternity. It is a gift and a curse to be aware of the time, at times. If you purchase this perk and focus on someone, you can gain an idea of how long they have left to live before perishing... and how long an item will take to naturally decay away. Just be wary of letting people know... not everyone handles the inevitability of the shadows of Chaos looming over them too well.

-Revisionism (600CP) (50% off: Aesirite): The energy of chaos and creation course through you, and it is unlike you to forget this nature, this duality that continues in an endless cycle. After all, chaos is harnessed for creation, but eventually all creation must give way and erode into chaos, to be used once more. Why not fiddle with that cycle, then? It takes much out of you, but using your energy you can focus on a shattered item to make it repair itself to a pristine state. Naturally it's harder if it's a magical or esoteric material, and it's MUCH more difficult if you're missing pieces (or even half of it)... but it takes patience to see Creation and Chaos work. Should you not be patient as well?

>>45369479
Excellent.

>>45369470
Personally I don't think you'd really need to make radically different backgrounds for each series. You could just tweak each one to fit it's specific setting.

>>45369562
This one actually looks pretty cool.

I was into Post-Build before it was cool.

The Fang is second only to the Imperial Palace, good job, you got your fleet blowned up

>>45368607
But that's exactly what happens. I don't mean this Curse of the Wulfen stuff, I mean when Magnus threw a ball and eleven companies of yiffs went to fetch, the Fang was penetrated like a bitch in heat. It seems like a quick counterattack would have been a Mutually-Assured-Destruction scenario.

Character for Curse of Strahd
Artemis Andreste was born in the port city of Luskan, otherwise known as the City of Sails. Coming from a human family of no standing, he spent most his early years living day to day, scrounging for food and doing illicit odd-jobs. Only after meeting a wizard from the Arcane Brotherhood did his luck change. He tricked the wizard into taking him on as an apprentice and moved into the Host Tower of the Arcane.

Under the tutelage of the master wizard, Artemis was given all basic necessities. This wasn't enough for him however and he used his natural guile to pocket and sell what he could from the tower. This went on for a while until Artemis got too cocky and made a mistake. That's when the wizards of the Brotherhood caught on and captured him stealing.

Rather than kill Artemis the wizards decided for a very different form of punishment. They cursed Artemis to walk Toril as an embodiment of his wickedness, effectively turning him into a Tiefling. The wizard then told Artemis that the only way to lift the curse was to preform enough good deeds to make up for the ill will he had caused.

Cursed and banished from Luskan, Artemis turned to Phlan since it was currently being reclaimed and in dire need of adventurers. He figured that was a good place to start doing "good" but once he arrived he was quickly overwhelmed by a strange mist...

Gwynn was a guy

He decided he wanted to be an adventurer

He made a pact with some eldritch being and became one

Elven druid. He used to be a pompous prideful asshole for the first hundred years or so of his life. He ticked off a fey lord who decided to fuck with his vanity and remove his face. It still technically exists, but nobody can see it. Learning his lesson he fucked off to nowhere and ended up joining the postmasters' guild. A worldwide guild of mailmen who take their job very seriously. Now he's all hunched and weird and wears a wooden mask to hide his non-face. Most people are just really weirded out by him and even other druids are kind of off-put by his mannerisms. Despite his eccentric behavior he's actually devilishly clever and brutal and does whatever it takes to accomplish his goals, whether it's grovelling in the dirt, doing heroic deeds, or standing idly by as others are hurt. When he's afforded the opportunity however, he enjoys taking the prideful down a peg, just like he was.

Is there a way to justify a wizard wearing full plate armor?
Such as spells without components to get messed up by armor, or metamagics to help my muscle wizard get by?

What are some of your favorite tracks to use during a session? Ambiance, combat, doesn't matter to me.

Have you tried not playing games that suck?

There is more to roleplaying than pseudo-medieval mindless murdering.

Combat should always be a last resort and it should be extremely inconvenient and/or deadly.

Had a necromancer character who stole God's brain once.

In his defense he didn't know it was God at the time.
