>>Tandem war elephant

>>44375308

A 1700 year old Turkish saint who is somehow also King of the Elves. He lives in a pocket dimension at the North Pole, has, for at least one night a year, total control over space and time, and has the kind of surveillance abilities that the NSA would kill for. Also, rumor has it he he’s permanently bound Satan himself to his personal service..

I’m with the toddlers on this one: I’m terrified of the guy.

>>44375321
He's got a continuously active planet-encompassing Detect Evil spell-like ability, possibly manifesting itself into a list that automatically updates itself as we performed naughty deeds and nice deeds.

Level 100 Wizard that ascended to godhood. His worshipers are dwarf/elf halfbreeds, mall workers, and children. His domains are travel, time, air, winter, and night.

I already made the .pdf, though. Zoom out to 75% and it should look relatively fine.

Don't include the DLCs.

I posted this pdf last thread.

Predetermined gear is shit and makes already restrictive character creation into clone factory

That's fucking terrible. You may as well use pregens at that point.

>>44375082
It makes sense, the entire point of a class system is that it creates archetypes, and the reason systems like D&D have so many issues is because there is not enough niche protection for those archetypes.

The complaint in >>44375143 is silly, since that's assuming your class name makes a huge difference in your character, which it shouldn't unless game terms are real world terms, in which case that isn't really a concern unless you're specifically trying to be different.

The complaint in >>44375258 is somewhat legitimate, in that you either need to have a system which doesn't pretend to give a lot of player choices, or a system in which there are so many classes, and so many minor options that having your style decided for you isn't an issue.

Decent, though I'd be slaughtered by someone who could actually FIGHT with one.

Getting better, started training with longsword a few months ago. Nothing professional and mostly for exercise.

I only have Martial Weapon Proficiency: Assault Rifle.

Pretty sure I have shot a whole bunch of these guys in Mass Effect.

Class based systems.

i really wasent thinking in such broad terms but ok

It doesn't matter. The world is exactly as people want it to be, so it would only be a matter of time before everything looked exactly the same as it does now no matter what you changed.

Graffiti Magic. It's like glyphs and shit. Writing the true names of things you graffiti on can make cool constructs and shit.

Subways built on leylines. Magical fights are settled on the F-Train as it travels through time and space.

Verbal magic in the form of Rap.

Urbanmancers who can sprout buildings out of the ground and hit people with them. Wrap lamp posts around someone. Make people get lost in a maze of alleys.

Barista Alchemists who can make themselves and others go into superpowered caffeine rages and can someone foam monsters

Ever heard of too on the nose?

Subtle and very much tied to the environment. You do rituals that are odd, but not what you usually call magic. No eye of the newt, feather of the raven, boil and burn and bury at a crossroads kind of bullshit. Don't step on the cracks in the pavement, toss exactly three coins to the second beggar you meet, wear something yellow, and don't ride a lift higher than the fifth floor.

The results are similarly subtle. You never get splashed by cars, people looking for you will find their way quickly and easily if they mean you harm, while pursuers will constantly be delayed by random shit.

Subcultures tap into this constantly and for the most part unknowingly. The bartender at the bar you drink at is so good because of the path he takes to work. The hipsters' lingo draws luck from others.

You don't notice it unless you know what to look for. This type of shit.

While that particular piece of art looks pretty badass, most custom chapters make the mistake of hamming it up too much. Seriously, when you've gone more wolfy than Space Wolves, it's too much. Space Sharks aren't shaped like sharks, Mantis Warriors aren't mantises. Why are the Aztec marines literal Aztecs? Why are the scuba marines literally old timey scuba divers?

>>44372039

I think it's more the lack of any non-European themed Chapters in canon. So they go too far the other way to show that these aren't another Chapter themed on white people.

>>44372039
That doesn't really work with the Blood Jaguars. It would only work if the 'jaguar' aspect was overstated, but it isn't.

Why are most QMs social rejects and autists?

It's given me more time to work on the new quest I've been putting together, so it's been good for me.

A special symbol on his armor from Sergeant Crusader.

You could say the same about pretty much any deity
Any god from any religion can be redesigned into an Old One

>>44365882
Not really. For example the Greek gods were dicks but they were dicks in a very human manner.

Post your players' current PC sheets, OP

What's that, you can't because reasons?

I too would be interested to know more details. Fuck the police OP, show us that shit.

>>44363273
I am glad I have never encountered these sorts of people. I've been playing for over a decade though, I half believe these people are myth.

This card is quite a bit more blck than it is red. AFAIK, there's only two cards in the game that give -1/-1 counters in red without also being black.

Ignoring every red card with Wither

To our Battletech Bros!

Probably my favorite was our characters sort of getting separated from most of the action. My character had the ability to teleport but only to random locations, so for a long time it was just our two characters traveling together through strange lands and getting to know one another since they were strangers to each other upon getting separated. Also kind of cool since the other character was a villain. I think I liked it because in contrast to most of the game, very little combat happened while they were together, it was simply just trying to find their way back to places they were familiar with.

Reposting mine from >>44380563

It can be difficult, but it depends on how the system handles combat and its consequences.

One of my best experiences ever in a roleplaying game was in Legends of the Wulin, when my PC and another character finally came to blows. It had been brewing for a while, they'd gotten off on the wrong foot and never really seen eye to eye, even their Elemental associations were different, as were their methods and approaches to almost everything.

The battle was fierce. They both attacked the other with everything they had, leveraging mystical power and physical might against one another in a conflict that split the ground and pushed both to their limits.

But through the battle, they managed to achieve what no amount of discussion could achieve. Mutual understanding, respect and acceptance of the others way of doing things.

And the best part? The system supported it. In Legends of the Wulin, in addition to the injuries you take in a fight, you also make an End of Combat roll that lets you inflict any kind of condition on your opponent- Including a buff. The all out conflict between our PCs ended in us each giving the other a power boost, a reflection of the emotional growth we'd achieved through the conflict.

Granted, that sort of thing isn't appropriate in some genres, but PvP works a lot better in conflicts where it's not just 'One of them dies', but is more about a clash of ideals and philosophies, and its resolution doesn't need to have an explicit winner/loser.

he won't admit it but he actually seems to enjoy working us out of these scrapes. He's almost started to loosen up, shame we're probably gonna push him too far one day and make him rage quit the whole campaign
