Probably not. If a convenient "magic for dummies" book existed it'd either be given out easily to prospective students or destroyed to maintain a monopoly, so the school probably contains mostly technical manuals that don't make any damn sense without knowing the basics or having a teacher. And being good at stage magic doesn't mean he has the extreme intelligence/genes/spark/gift/whatever that a lot of settings require for actual magic.

>>44414045
Most likely not. But he still can pretend to study and pass the exams with bluff, deceptions and distractions. He's a street magician, it just screams that his Bluff/Sleight of Hand/whatever else are through the roof.

>>44414045
Real magic? no.

But he could become the best bluffomancer.

Essentially it is all psychological and convinces people you cast a spell. If you suceed on bluff/perform/etc they are affected appropriately.

Bonuses/penalties given depending on whether you know the actual somatic and verbal components, using focuses and stuff, also whether the target does.

Tell us how the /k/ Face came to be brother?

You have a long way to go. Google how to play magic. Get familiar with the card types, rarities, phases, and whatever. You won't find any helpful people here when it's comes to starting mtg. Also prepare to get raped hard for the first year or so unless you are willing to drop 2000 dollas.

I'm playing casually, I said. I don't even care about winning, just company.

>>44463307
The one with the most votes win and after you have chose cast and gender we can start the quest

>>44463307
Either the Pilot or Doctor caste

Female

Good to see some things never change.

To answer your question:

>http://wulinlegends.pbworks.com/w/page/48630360/Portal

There's a lot of stuff, but it's of varying quality. Combination elemental styles are interesting but corrupt|enlightened double styles give you an idea how deep the hole goes.

Can't answer the second question, since my group prefers things on the lighter side, so LotW is right out, sadly.

To add another question to the mix: does anyone know how to do LotW's dice system on Anydice?

My god, its like I'm really on the Exalted forum

Think about all of the negative stereotypes about gypsies.

Now imagine everyone wants to shag them.

>>44413534
Most catfolk already get bonuses to dex, luck and/or charisma, even those based on big cats that ought to be more about size and toughness.

Still, it's a start, just grant them some sort of ability to curse people or offer ways to avoid danger. Perhaps they really do have nine lives, though it takes the form of being able to avoid certain death nine times. Failure to activate the ability might well result in actually dying, and of course using it all up will leave them as vulnerable as anyone else.

The old saying goes "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought her back" so maybe they can recharge their lives, or even return from actual death by learning a new secret from the experience?

>>44413534
Catfolk should just spend all day sleeping and then bitch at their party members to give them free food.

>How do you like your grappling rules, /tg/?
Completely eliminated by freedom of movement.

How DOES Freedom of Movement work?

It roots your body in alignment with your soul in the astral plane, making it so that nothing can hold you without your willingness.

Alright, back to Lloyd after long enough.

You and the rest of your companions spend much of the day ostensibly investigating this mysterious essence-sucker, purported in a few cases to have done the same with blood.

Keyword: "Ostensibly," at least in your sake. Instead, you snoop around asking about the Wulf Company and their dealings. Way you see it, if they're connected to this vaguely-defined conspiracy, odds are your killer is too. Two birds that Duchess Victoria would like dead with one... Darkness blast. Nobody had much in the way of bad things to say about any of the noteworthy figures of the company, at least until they suddenly ditched the nation of Noba in this era of undead, when Ennase in particular was under the siege of a supernatural serial killer.

Then people's bad things to say multiplied a lot, naturally, but none of that helped you figure out WHY they left.

You're not sure if you spoke with enough-or even the right-people about the subject, but as daylight segues into twilight, people are even less willing to talk.

>A. Keep asking around!
>B. Investigate what you were brought here to investigate already
>C. Loiter
>D. Regroup with Irene and the rest
>E. Write-in action

I have to do some things for a few minutes, but I'll get right to whatever as soon as I return.

>>44413273
>B. Investigate what you were brought here to investigate already

Depends on the setting.

Fantasy I'm familiar with often has dragon hatchlings that are mostly self-sufficient and don't need to be raised or cared for.

Yes, though you're basically committing the next two generations of your family to the task until it reaches adulthood

Launch That Guy into the sun, imo.

No one should have to put up with someone throwing a shitfit over FOOD in an elfgame.

Yeah, have you ever considered not gaming with this person? Are they a Southern black man mad about not getting chicken and waffles?

And I also know having drama is good for Fate games, but God damn, dude. This person needs medical attention

no

Guy who was asking if Ressurection Orbs are only useless in Kill Team or useless in general: Useless in general.

Only real niche use is for Death Stars and giving them one phase of enhanced durability. Otherwise it just costs too much.

I'll just respond to first choice at first to get the ball rolling.

The prospect of heading to work seems less and less apprealing the closer you get to the cantina. As you draw near and see two Aqualish in a fist fight and a Rodian closing in behind with a vibroknife, you make a turn and head to the spaceport to meet up with Jabulba. You see him sitting on a cargo crate talking to a dreary eyed Ithorian. He grins at you as he catches your eye, his own eyes reflecting Tatooine's sun in a way only the silky black eyes of Nautolans can. The Ithorian lets out a giant cloud of smoke as you arrive, and slumps off towards the cantina. When he is clear, Jabulba tosses you a deathstick.

"Suck that kark up my friend, for today is our last day of being losers my friend, I know a guy who works packing cargo ships bound to Nar Shadaa who can make sure a certain crate full of spice makes it on the next shipment."

He winks at you as he inhales on the tube, letting it fall to the sand as he exhales.

"The crate could have us on it, man. We could get out of here."

You need credits and spice first. Guganga deals in spice... Lots of it.

>A. Suggest a heist, steal Gugangas spice and live like kings!

>B. Going to Guganga and offer to strike a mutual deal

>C. Lurk around and look for opportunities to make some easy money

Depends how you want your players interacting with them.

>>44460671
Why the prisoners should feel sympathy for the guards?

>>44460683
I want it to make sense within the setting. Reading about real-life high-security prisons gives inconclusive results.

Savage Worlds.

Really, there's two effective ways to play Fallout. If you want a gritter, more lethal game where one bullet can ruin your whole day, then go for GURPS. Hell, the beta version of Fallout 1 used 1e GURPS mechanics. Hit locations, effects of radiation, crazy monsters, improvised tech, and pretty much everything you see in Fallout can be done in GURPS. There's a really quality fan supplement for GURPS, mostly focusing on FO1&2 with some FO3 content as well.

If you want a more cinematic, heroic game, you can't go wrong with Savage Worlds. SW characters aren't invulnerable, but they can pull off feats that your average joe can't, just like protagonists in Fallout. It also can handle hit locations, environmental effects, jury-rigged solutions, and wacky weapons and powers, just in a more abstract way than GURPS. Not to mention that your players will likely find the digest-sized SW book a lot less intimidating than the two main GURPS books, alongside supplements like Gun-Fu and Ultra-Tech. This is probably the one that you want. Again, there's a really quality fan supplement out there that'll come up quick if you search for "Savage Worlds Fallout."

Pretty much everything I was going to say.

Lady Blackbird is pretty light and pretty nice.

I like Strike! but after my group spent 6 fucking hours making characters I'm vary of recommending it.
