A little experiment with combining planeswalkers. Unfortunately, not many of them combine in ways that work well.

Discard Draco. Win.

This is supposed to be better than 16 damage to the dome? K.

She also didn't make Elementals before Gatewatch.

>-2
It's a not-as-good Blast of Genius.

>-7
It's called random chance. The same random change that means the -2 isn't always going to deal 16 damage.

I play a lot of LotW, it's my favourite RPG system so far due to its really interesting mechanics and awesome combat system. I'm in a few different games of it, as well as running some, in a variety of styles and settings, and it works great. There are a few mechanical niggles that could do with tweaking, but on the whole it works great. If you're looking for more content for the game, look up the Wulin Legends wiki.

However, there is a major downside to LotW. If you're presenting it to your group, be prepared to have to explain it without much help from the book. If you've read it you're probably already aware, but goddamn the editing is bad. A few important mechanics aren't even directly stated, only implied while being mentioned tangential to something else. It's a mess, which is a real shame for such an excellent game, but if you can get past it it's sublime.

Hah, gimme a bit and I'll see if I can rustle something up.

Does it not?

true? false? I talked to my buddy about it and he says we should run a game soon using playtest rules

Heres another call out into the void: does anyone want to start a chat group, or be in a group that plays by playtest? Only interested in playing in the bay area California but I'm interested in discussing it with any anons

I PERSONALLY feel as if the playtest rules made class abiltiies and player options at the forefront of what your gaming experience is, and by comparison the 5e published rules kind of push that all into the background, with attacking, spellcasting, and movement made the normal actions, and class abilities became something you do every once in a while.

If not running things by the last playtest packet, I think theres a way to balance it such that you bring ability and agency back to the foreground without creating "rocket tag".

Let me know. Even jab, shift, tumble, etc. could be good martial die abilities.

also the conan RPG has some really good options to use in combat.

If theres interest I'll start a group, if not I'll just start one in the bay and no one online will hear about it.

It does not.

I put this in here because a) I"ve made the past few 5egs, and b) an anon said he didn't want his DM to know that qurterstaffs dont have the reach property

Do you actually want to know or is this just another bait thread

What the fuck is that stupid movie about anyway

>>45064222
Do they share the same culture? If so, swimmingly, but expect it to be very segregated due to the demands of varying body plans, with some open forums for everyone to meet at. For example you can expect not all buildings would accommodate massive citizens.

Do they all have different cultures? It'll never work. It doesn't even work IRL, much less with actual biology in the way.

You'd need some kind of pretty hefty economic reasons to have say, a flying race, an amphibious race, and a land race all live peaceably in the same area without some kind of shared ideals.

Why are you afraid of love, OP?

>>45062939
I'm not, I just get uncomfortable when he's spending his downtime in town writing her letters and sending gifts with couriers, because he's really into it, and everyone is encouraging him because they think it's either funny or sweet

>>45062876

Give her a boyfriend. Have her go "You're really nice, but my lover is Sir Chad. He's a great guy: I'm crazy about him. You should chat sometime."

>>45061641
I imagine the comparisons are similar to those of a human and an elf in your average Generic Fantasy Setting(TM)

faster

not noticeably stronger

>>45061641
Well reflex wise they shit all over them.

That's pretty much all I know sorry

Are the novels canon to the Resident Evil jump?

>>45061615
If you mean the ones by S.D. Perry, then I think so.

Good. I'd prefer to break a regular Eldar, especially if it's this piece of pure beauty right here.

Dark Eldar get to do the breaking.

>>45060683
I don''t think you really understand Dark Eldar. And get a new picture.

>>45060683

Good, I wouldn't want to because I'm not a fucking race traitor nor a heretic.

Just because you can't make a difference for all doesn't mean you shouldn't make a difference for those you can.

It's saving that family from Orks that makes a difference, not the 4 other families they killed before you got there.

>>45060628
Because human nature doesn't always win.

Back at the dawn of our species, there were only a couple dozen lives that were considered "sacred". You didn't kill those in your family, you didn't kill those in your tribe, everyone else was free game.

Move forward a few centuries and it gets better. Now a couple hundred lives are considered sacred. You don't kill members of your state, you don't kill members of your country.

Move forward even more, to modern day, and society considers almost all human lives to be sacred, and you have permission to kill no-one.

So no, human nature doesn't always win in the end. We can be more, we can be better, and we are accomplishing both as a species.

The squid straightens, gulping dramatically, smacking its lips and letting out a laugh. “Tastes like chicken!” He slurs, his new lips disturbingly human looking, fangs jutting out from over it.

Devimon shrieks, pulling up short of the squid monster, her arms flashing red, as twin trails of energy flash towards the squid, met with returning fire of high pressure ink, exploding in the air.

You can feel anger burning in your gut, combined with panic. Eva’s in it’s gut, and odds are, she’s not gonna last long in there. Floating in the river where he dropped you, just by it’s mouth, you have a few choices, you could dive, try and use your fire hands to work it’s stomach and make it throw up… you could go for the surface, and meet up with the others, or you could grab onto one of it’s tentacles, before it takes a swing at Devimon.

>Go for the stomach, see if you can get her out
>Go for the shore
>Go for the tentacle, try and slow it down

We already have a + to combat, we need to talk well too, since we're party leader.

Well Social is our lowest, but the choice is between specializing a little or going balanced...

Have you guys seen any creative uses of Majesty in your games?

>But it would be a disservice to both splats to not mention in the same breath that only rarely will you find that hasn't prepared some way to get out in an emergency.

There are only two types of mages in the CofD: very dead mages and obsessive, paranoid, and ridiculously prepared mages.

If a mage doesn't soon realize wizarding is extremely dangerous and entirely unpredictable, they'll not likely live long to enjoy their reality-bending abilities.

Still too much tsun-tsun to bring ourselves to visit Kline

We Slightly-More-Experienced Adventurer Quest now?

>>45055150
You decide it would be best to speak to your sister. You may not be on... good terms with her, but she's family.

You head towards Justine's room, hoping that she's up right now. "Sister?" You ask, knocking on her door. "Are you there?"

The door opens and Justine emerges from the room with rustled hair. "Yes, what is it, Maria?"

"Can we talk?" You offer. "About us?"

"What about?" Your older sister asks.

"B-Back then, about what I said before... I apologize." You sigh. Apologies weren't easy when it came to you. Then again, in some cases, it was justified.

"You woke me up just for that?" Justine gives you a flat look.

"N-No. I also want to know if the Princess is okay." You hang your head downwards.

"Lessie'll be fine. She's a strong person." Justine says. "More importantly, though, I'm glad she's okay. I can only hope she doesn't do any more foolish stunts now."

"I hope so as well." You sigh.

"What about Kline?" Justine asks you, causing you to narrow your eyes.

"What about him?" You grumble.

"You did shield him from Lessie's wrath." Justine frowns. "What made you do that?"

>" I-I was only trying to stop her highness!"
>"I didn't want to see him hurt."
>"He's my...friend."

The worlds population is 4/5ths females.

The world naturally resets to a default state every 24 hours.

Only Tom Hanks gets to remember what happened before the reset.
