What about metal bracers that project runes across the body for armor? Rather than an actual physical armor. Bracers, genie-like.

>>44710845
Theres one idea. Very simple.
Lets see if anyone else has anything to say.

I like this idea as well. A golem is already walking armor.

The moment you visited the Medicae Bay to check on how the autopsies were going you felt completely sick and fell unconscious, at the same time from their corpses several Necron constructs emerged and started to devour everything on their wake, be it organic or artificial and dead or. Why did you suddenly fell was something that both puzzled and worried you; was it really because spending so much time so deep underground was starting to take a toll on you or maybe because you were somehow connected to the Necrons and that activation affected you somehow?

To defeat all those invading scarabs you needed to create two traps, an explosive one with some grenades and another that was basically a stockpile of flammable gases and liquids that ended creating a massive thermal deflagration once you managed to attract the remaining creatures towards its core and detonated it by using a handmade Molotov. Still, alien machinery and inhuman circuits made those devourers be able to even survive such inferno, not even being in the center of a massive bonfire was enough to kill the entirety of them; to completely finish them off you also had to discharge several shots of your acidic plasma on them until all the charred husk that became the remains of the explosions ended turning into a small melted mound to completely assure that they were destroyed.

You had saved as many people as you could but most of the nurses, medics and patients had perished in that encounter, the outcome of that attack wasn’t completely negative thought, you had managed to discover a secret of the Necron possessed humans that you didn’t knew before. They each have had a canoptek scarab inside of them that activates a few days after their death, if that scarab is destroyed then the body won’t be able to create more copies of the necron construct and it will simply be a normal corpse, there was also the very faint hope of a possible scarab subtraction procedure that might and only might return those humans to their former selves.


You walked with all the survivors towards the main entrance door and with a quick movement you pressed the activation runes that awakened the disruptor field of your falcata shaped power sword shortly before using it to cleave an exit from the debris and scrap metal sealed door. The survivors, mostly medics and individuals with little to no combat experienced that just happened to be there, helped you by removing the pieces that managed to cut. After little more than five minutes the first rays of electrical light started to make their way onto your side, you had finally managed to open a breach.

“Stand back!” You say at them, who immediately complied.

You grab your Meltaser Pistol and aim at the door; you have wanted to use this beautiful piece of technology since a long time and finally you will honour its machine spirit with a great task according to its purpose and creation. With a flash of thermal and electrical energy you see how from its red hot muzzle an invisible ray of agitating air and ionizing beams discharges over the remnants of the door. Instantly it starts to melt and become electrified; the slag turning metal getting a orange hue and then completely red hot while several white sparks form from its core and start flying in all directions until the door is no more and the only thing that remains is a small melted aperture.


“The wounded ones first, go go!” You were pretty sure that all the scarabs had been killed but as a caution measure you would be the last one to leave the hospital.

When they were all out you finally left the cursed hospital and grabbed several pieces of scrap around to melt them with your Meltaser pistol and once again seal the entrance. Thankfully you noticed that there were several people around willing to help you and that they were gladly throwing pieces of debris and scrap to help you with your task.

This was nothing but a small victory in a sea of defeats. Your resources were running pretty low, especially medicines now due to most of them becoming devoured or destroyed by the Scarabs. In the faces of the small group of survivors that you had managed to gather there wasn’t only fear and hunger now but also a glimpse of hope in their eyes. Sooner or later the Imperium would notice this invasion and would do something about it; you had the promise of the Inquisitor about this…the Omnissiah and the Emperor protects you all but in the meantime you’ll have to protect them by acting as their pawn and agent.

>generally it seems like a total non-point.
I agree, but many players like useless calculations like that as it gives them a feeling of verisimilitude, even if it is false precision.

a sniper rifle would be useless

But a character walking around one manning a Gatling gun sounds pretty role play-y to me

What, you've never said "Ok, each square is twenty meters"?

I've been in lots of tabletop fights where it mattered that the sniper rifle had a better range than the assault rifle. Dark Heresy, Deadlands, lots of outside fights that start at long range. It's an interesting and common tactical scenario.

Does this really never happen to you guys? Why not? If you have a rifle, why aren't you opening up from long range?

Research:

>Alien Materials [Requires 10 Sci,10 Eng 100 Alien/Advent weapon fragment, 100 Alloy, 100 Elirium, 2 Mil, 1 Month] Our understandings of these alien materials were lost twenty years ago, to fully uncover their potential, we need to thoroughly research them, commander.

>Advent weapon fragments II [10 SCI, 10 ENG, 150 Advent weapon fragment, 1 Mil 2 weeks] Commander, we believe we can take a step forward, we can assemble these fragments to create weapons of our own. we will still use conventional ammo but its efficiency is ten folds better than our current arsenal

>Advent PSI Captain II [30 SCI, 3 PSI Corpses,2 Mil, 6 days] There are more secrets to be uncovered with this specimen commander. We must win this race at any costs.

>Advent grunt autopsy [Requires 5 Sci, 500k, 3 Advent corpses, 1 week] : Commander, This advent regular soldier or grunt is one of our very common enemies in the battlefield. From what we have seen so far, they are carbon copy of each other. Still, it is a wonder of genetic modification.

>Advent Shield [20 Sci, 20 ENG, 20 Shield Shard 2 MIL, 2 weeks] Commander, While we can't make shields of our own, we can incorporate these shards into our scatter grenades. they will prove to be deadly to both light and heavy armored troops

>Advent Armour II [Requires 20 SCI, 20 Damaged Advent armour, 20 ENG, 3 MIL, 2 Weeks] Commander, Our breakthrough can be ever better with Moddable Armour. This opens a new route for protecting our soldiers

>Psi Advent Armour [20 SCI, 20 ENG, 5 MIL, 1 PSI Advent armour, 5 days]: This suit is a marvel of science commander. I think...I think it was keeping the subject alive with its various life support modules.

Really depends on the artist but if that's what they've asked before that's what I'd count on.

The bigger problem is probably quantity. Ain't much of a bestiary with only one beast in it.

>>44709542
/ic/ would probably be more knowledgeable about this sort of thing than most people here. but at the same time /ic/ is full of assholes so maybe you'll get nothing.
I'm confident however that it will cost much more than you expect if you want any kind of quality.
I'd recommend you don't start looking into the illustrations until you've done a fair bit of the ground work on your bestiary first.

>>44709542
I would more or less finish your beasts and then commission in bulk instead of paying per portrait. Unless you want to go for multiple artists which might be cool variety.

Try something like fiverr maybe

>>44709430
i would post more if i had some

>zero people who have ever heard of DnD
How is this a downside? Just make up whatever system or use something simple like Savage Worlds and have fun. Don't weigh players down with mechanics unless they are of the very specific type of person who like that kind of thing.

DnD is a pretty shitty game for beginners.

Try to begin as rules-lite as possible, and slowly ease them into the system.

Encourage and reward both creative thinking, and problem solving as much as possible.

As a DM, try to incorporate their ideas as much as possible, and try not to resort to, "You can't do that."

My fighters tend to be highly mobile so I can't really help much although if you want to be a meatshield you need some mobility so that enemies don't slip past you

Although that applies in pretty much any system Im not home though so I can't check my books.

>>44708300

The ideal 3.5 fighter build is a cleric

>>44711056

This. Though, you can make up for some cleric buffs,with phb 2 feats that cleric levels would not allow you to access.

Mhm? Very well, I suppose we should go and grab a different transport..
