There are two things that I have obviously stolen and am not ashamed of and so never hid.

One was C.M.O.T. Dibbler, town merchant. Any town. Almost any merchanting. There is one per town in local flavor.

The other is Crazy Hassan.

He sells any sort of livestock or pack animal you want. He is everywhere. His is, in effect, a small god.

>>44651394
Hassan's shown up in a few games, but with one exception, never more than a bit part.

That was a PTU campaign. He sold one of the players a submarine Camerupt that went on to wipe up the local league.

She was just a regular Camerupt in scuba gear.

>>44651394
I try to put Crazy Hassan in all of my games somewhere, mostly because the party I play with likes him a running gag in our games. I've had him sell scuba camels, give the players money for taking his camels, and even had a short side quest to rescue Hassan from camels that had gone over to ISIS. Good times.

ok now these guys no idea what they are

First for Sorclockadins adding Cha x3 to damage.

>>44650396
Well, my setting's shadowfell is basically Mictlan meets the spookyland from Darksiders 2.

So I guess that means Mexican dragon zombies.

>>44650396
Most of the big Ratchet & Clank enemies would make for fun bosses.

I'm looking to make a tinker/crafter/merchant for our next campaign to be our party's armory guy. If possible I'd like to be able to contribute to combat as well, so I was thinking along the lines of a conjuration wizard (always have the right tool for the job) or possibly an artificer if my DM okays it.

Any suggestions? I really want to make this work if possible, so I'll take anything I can get.

>>44650393
> Char goes back to Ulthuan trying to reconnect with his roots, and find his father. Search is not successful and life is hard in high elf land due to wood elf upbringing. Char's combat skills though are noticed by swordmasters of hoeth, and he gets recruited. Spends years training with them and is redeployed in the Old World as an agent/spy for the Tower of hoeth
> After some years spent developing a network in Altdorf, Char discovers tracks of the daemon possessing his dead wife, and goes on pursuit seeking revenge.

Thoughts? Ideas for improvements? Post yours!

1) A nice blend of realism and fantasy.
I love Sci-Fi and fantasy, Lasers space battles and magic I'm fine with, but if I'm watching a film and some henchman unloads a fully automatic weapon at the hero from three feet away, and the hero is unscathed because he ducked behind the curtains, then that is a step too far! In my head the hero repeatedly being shmashed in the face with a great axe wielding muscle bond Ogre, but being fine because he still has 2HP left and then dying because a goblin farted in his general direction is the same sin. STOP IT!

2) A sleek and elegant character creation and development system.
I'm not just trying to be a pompous wee shite here, I would like to put the emphasis on real character development and role playing not traipsing through a massive book for three hours only to answer the question "So what is your character like?" with something like "He's a 6th level half-elf Paladin.". I'd rather spend ten minutes making a character that can be described as "A chain smoking recluse but a man of grit and determination with a powerful thirst for justice and a serious gambling problem."

3) A book that breaks immersion as little as possible by blending rules and story so one reflects the other.
"What?!" You know in 40k fluff how Space Marines are like one man armies but in the game they are all right but can still be killed buy a luck grot? Yeah well NOT that! So in the book I went to lengths so the equipment descriptions sound like product reviews that you'd find online. I want even looking through the rules to feel world building. A-list is one way of doing that and Adverts for the Corporations are another.

The Godmodder awaits posters by using her dark bump.

She sighs and mutters

>"Did we wait too long to start the thread back up?"

I suggest we blame the ImposterModder.

>"A good choice indeed."

Probably not, there's a large number of settings/fictions (often video games, but whatever) that simply do not realise how incredibly OP their shit is, and is only prevented from being OP as fuck by it's plot getting in the way/the OP as shitness never really coming up.

But what do you mean by 'one of'? How big a group are you talking about here, and by extension what do you consider modern science fiction?

Nah.

I also I just read some shit where clouds of nanobots terraformed absolutefuckingly everything they found in the galaxy to Earth-standard.

>>44649655
Revelation Space series?

Because humanity ended the fucking universe by doing that.

>>44648554
Hi OP here just seein if I could get any feedback. Especially if you have played against or with this army I'd appreciate anything really

All of my crossbow bolts are now useless...

Nothing, because crossbows are not invented yet. It's the age of sticks and stones.

No other sane players in your area?

Does PF turn people into retards, or does it just attract retards? I played that shit for three years and it almost turned me off tabletop RPGs completely.

>>44648339
Confirming criticals does make sense. It's just time-consuming and obnoxious.

This wouldn't be so bad, except the DM just made us sit through thirty-five minutes of listening to his NPCs talk to each other before this occurred.

Joke's on the sorcerer, the princess is actually the prince.

Jokes on the king, royal traps are his fetish.

So does he get his king's license revoked? Does he need to turn back the keys to the kingdom?

You should probably be surprised, but at this point a hollowed out corpse is pretty run of the mill by your standards. “Which organs were missing?”

The elven slave, Gerasimos you think his name was, clears his throat. “Missing might not be the right word. Granted we've yet to find either her heart or kidneys, but her lungs were nailed to the wall and her intestines strung through the bars as though some sort of grizzly ornamentation. Her stomach was ruptured completely and its contents scattered across the walls. I'd go on but I rather think you get the picture.”

You seem to recall there were certain rituals practiced during the time of the Hiacian Empire regarding the consumption of the hearts of one's vanquished enemies, something about gaining their power. The tradition is poorly understood since it was at its heart a Suryan practice, and with the collapse of the Suryan priesthood their rituals and ceremonies were lost to time. The Jailer you met here the other day springs to mind as a likely suspect. He claims to dedicate himself to Surya and could move freely through the dungeon without suspicion.

Yet that seems like too obvious a suspect. You imagine if your brother's jailer was going to murder someone, he would at least try to cover his tracks. He did not seem lacking in his mental faculties when you met him. Plus, so far as you're aware, under the Suryan practice efforts were made to extract the heart with as little blood spilled as possible. The goal was to ensure that the victim remained alive long enough to see their heart eaten. “Were there any witnesses? The cells did not seem to lack for occupants when I was there last.”

Zaahir shrugs his shoulders, his expression passive. “Many of the prisoners heard grinding stone, bones snapping, screams, and whispering voices. Most simply assumed that it was the Herbad at work. However, Zakariyya claims he was undergoing his devotions at the time and thus nowhere near the dungeons. None can corroborate his story, but that's to be expected. From what I understand devotions are an intensely private affair.”

Gerasimos cuts in once your brother seems finished speaking. “One prisoner in particular, a local drunk arrested for pissing in a fountain, claims to have seen a large, hunched figure with the horns of an ox enter the dungeon. We dismissed his testimony out of hand, his cell was nearly at the end of the hall. Past the cell of the victim and nowhere near the entrance.”

>Well, regardless this isn't any of your business. Mortia obviously isn't involved.
>Suggest they investigate Zakariyya's involvement, you don't trust that priest.
>You seem to recall there being a number of sealed tunnels branching off the dungeons, perhaps they should open one up and investigate?
>Write-in

There's enough variety to it to be adapted to most things and it's before gunpowder dominated but before you were either Roman or shit.

>>44647643
because all the losers in the world are whiteboys

>>44647643
Because of the evil heteronormative, racially insensitive patriarchy.

“Ever meet a Jedi?” she asks. If you have, they probably wiped your memory of it. So you shake your head. “Lame. They’re the guys who use the Force and all that, right?”

“Right,” you say. “It’s mostly just cheap parlor tricks and showmanship though. A lot of things the Jedi could do, a clever man can do too.” You flip through your holobook. “Like this. The Jedi mind trick. It’s said here that a Jedi could command the minds of the weak-minded. Can you believe that?”

“Actually, I can,” she says. “I’ve met lots of goons who did what I said though…” She looks down at her body, and back at you. “Probably not so much mind trick as…” She shrugs. “Whatever. What about the mind trick?”

“Basically, wave your hand and tell someone to do something and they’ll do it,” you say. “We saw something like that back on Kashyyyk, the guy was just paying off the guys he was mind tricking.”

“Ooooh.” Misri quickly sweeps her legs back in a fighting posture, then waves her hand at you with a fierce grin. “You will give me your breakfast.”

You grip your plate and say, “I will-“ Wait. This is stupid. “What- no, this is stupid!” She groans in frustration as you continue to eat. Ugh, headache. You rub at your head, furrowing your brow. “Don’t you have your podracer to attend to?”

“Yeah,” she says. “I’m there if you need me.” She turns around and walks off, her hips swaying as she goes. Already earning those credits you see. As she does, Kuvasz and Vikker come by.

Kuvasz says to you. “So what did you want to talk to us about?” he asks.

“Katana Fleet, Zann Consortium is offering me 100k plus full market cashing of my share of ingots,” you explain very briefly. They seem confused at that, but you’re not sure how to explain it better than that. “Tyber Zann himself asked me. He’s even got a Defiler over there watching me.” You point out a man in red evil looking armor watching you from the other end of the hangar. You wave at him. He simply continues to stare at you.

“What’s a smalltime hood like Tyber want with a myth?” asks Vikker. He crosses his arms. “His Defilers yeah, they’re scary, but there isn’t enough of them to crew two-hundred dreadnaughts.”

“I wouldn’t trust smalltime hoods with fleets that could threaten the galaxy,” says Kuvasz. “What did you have planned?”

Might be another compromised meeting/trap but that should at least be interesting.

Finally got caught up on this quest. You do good stuff, Schteel.
