That's nice, but it's nowhere near masterful where 3.5 is concerned. Have fun, I guess?

>Zen Archery with a fighter with equal strength and wisdom

That's not exactly a good example of 3.5 multiclassing.

The All Flesh Must Be Eaten guidebook contains instructions for using playing cards as an alternative to dice.

Best B8o my m8o, have a reply!

Remember anons: sage goes in the option field!

>>44268433
Cheaper to reuse existing moulds than to make new ones, probably.

>>44268433
Definitely Bait, but I'll bite anyway.

'Badass Death machine'-Warlord is the Lucius Pattern Warlord, which is more boxy and intimidating than the regular patterns, similar to the Lucius Warhound.

The other is the Mars-Alpha Pattern Warlord, which is based off of the original titan models in the first editions of Epic. The Lucius pattern actually came later than the Mars in terms of fluff as well.

You don't have to sell it me man I love Eberron. Damn shame nothing's happened with it lately. Necromantic elves with skull makeup give me instant nerd boner everytime.

>Such a versatile setting, you could be a daring archaeologist/spelunker exploring the forgotten Cambodian-esque ruins of Xen'drik in a pulp-like adventure, or you could be an effete socialite plotting within the spires of Sharn, orchestrating a conspiracy of saboteurs to consolidate power.

You could also play magical girls/boys in Sharn who attend school by day and battle all sorts of clandestine monsters prowling the towers at night, from rakshasas of the Lords of Dust, to aberrant agents of the Dragon Below, to dream-warping quori of the Dreaming Dark (though they had best seal those quori in soul gems, sort of like "quori captors").

Stop.

I tried using the Force when I was a kid and yesterday does that count?

No, because were not in middle school and desperate to find a way to terrify our Christian parents.

>>44267700
dont you want to use magic anon?

It's just a big sham that serves to filter out That Guys before you start playing.

>>44267537
My take on it is that DnD is in it's very nature a game about classic fantasy tropes and clichees.
Alignments are simply a way to shoehorn a characters personality into a clichee for simple reference. How much you care for it is you thing, as you said most of the rules don't care for it at all, except you are one of those masochist that wants to play a 3.PF Paladin and the associated minigame of your GM getting you to fall. Which in and off itself is just another clichee.

>>44267651
This. It may have served more of a purpose in earlier editions but now it's simply an RP aid for those who might need it. If you're not sure how your character is supposed to act morally just go off of their alignment.

>>44267533
Common misconception. Most mages are autists, now the people they cast spells on.

>>44267533
Spell reagents contain mercury, grave dust, wolfsbane and up to 50 other POISONS.
Ban cure disease spells now!

>>44267551
unless mages cast spells on themselves, or each other

[2/3]

“Hey, Christine!” Rana smiles happily as she carries a couple of bags. Walking next to her is Anneliese, who is busy taking in all the sights and sounds of a New York coming into hibernation. Baseball season is over, people are becoming insular, the only people out in the streets are kids who like to play in the snow and the unfortunate adults who have to work during the holidays. “Guess what I got you~!” she says as she waves a bag about in your face.

“It’s not a gun, is it?” you ask.

She stares at you, her smile fixed in place as she lowers the bag. “… maybe.” You grunt, going back to shoveling the snow. “But Anneliese got you something from the Woolsworth!”

“Ja, ja,” she says. Her English was getting better, much better. “It is a surprise though for Christmas morning!” She smiles happily, keeping her bag shut. Doesn’t seem too big. It’d certainly make you feel guilty though if Anneliese spent her money or something extravagant for you. One thing Dad always taught you is that vanity attracts only fairweather friends.

“Great, great,” you say.

“So did you get us anything?” You smile, nodding. Rana squeals a little, patting Anneliese’s arm. “You hear that, Christine got us something, Annie! Aaahhh!” She continues drumming her hands on Anneliese’s arm, making her slightly uncomfortable. “Okay, okay, don’t tell us, let me guess! Is it a car?”

“Yeah. I disassembled a Phantom Corsair and fit it right underneath our Christmas tree for you, Rana,” you say. Her eyes shine brightly. “I… that’s a joke, Rana.”

“Oh.” She frowns a little, disappointed.

“Tell you what, Christmas morning, you’ll love what I got you,” you say. She smiles again, happy. “Same with you, Anneliese. As an American welcome, I think you’ll really like what you’re going to get.” Anneliese smiles cautiously, looking at Rana. Rana nods happily, then looks back at you. “By the way, have you two seen Sumire anywhere?”

>>44267178
[3/3]

“Nope.” Rana whistles out in an alleyway. “Kirby!” Kirby appears on Rana’s shoulder. “Have you seen, Sumire?”

“I have,” he says. “She’s currently walking around New York. She apparently hasn’t done any Christmas shopping at all.”

“Aw, now, Kirby, no one likes a tattle-tale,” says Rana.

“Wait, what?” You tap Kirby, and he looks over at you. “What do you mean, hasn’t done any Christmas shopping at all? It’s Christmas Eve! It’s…” You check your watch.

4:30 PM!? Most stores are going to close soon! How did Sumire procrastinate this badly!? Not even your mom procrastinated this badly on getting you gifts for your birthday and Christmas and she didn’t even show up for any of them!

>> “Guys, head inside. I’ll go find her.”

Is Balfonheim a nice place to live, despite being home to pirates?

>>44267142
I think it could be as long as you lay your head down low. The biggest problem I'd see is if you were raising a family on a limited income and your child was pressured into joining due to lack of opportunity.

>>44267142
Well, even dumb animal wouldn't shit where it sleeps.
Pirate wouldn't plunder where he lives.

Name: The Broodnest
Race: The Brood. Spider-like Humanoids that share a hivemind with their Broodmother. Each has four arms and a light chitinous armor on their body. Certain variants of the species that assist in caring for the queen have four clear wings not unlike those of dragonflies to assist in maneuverability. Other, "workers," have the ability to create a sort of silk which is used in expanding the hive. Their mouths are lined with eighty thin, sharp teeth.
Fluff: The Broodnest is a colloquial term used to describe the large "hive" or "nest" created by The Broodmother and her workers. While a relatively new species, The Brood is a highly evolved after having developed sentience in hivemind form. By using a pod based reproduction system, the species spreads itself through laying pods which spew the larvae which will later become productive members of the brood. Using the silk created by workers, the hive is ever expanded. Rather than using cities, The Broodnest is a singular entity which is ever expanding. Entering means navigating a vast network of interconnecting tunnels that ultimately lead to the core and throne of The Broodnest. While the species shares a hivemind, each member of The Brood has its own personality and level of individuality. However, if need be, The Broodmother may take control of any member of the brood for her own purposes. This may be used for diplomatic purposes, as well as to mislead others to the identity or true appearance of The Broodmother. In times of rebellion or dire conflict, The Broodmother has been known to take full control of the hive so as to better ensure the survival of The Broodnest.

Game proper starts in t-1.5 hours

You look up to find a cloud of blue-green mist forming in front of you. A face emerges from it suddenly, contorted by pain and screaming, the eyes sewn shut. You manage not to wet yourself as you fall on your backside, which is probably the only positive thing you can say about the experience. You didn't scream so much as yelp though, which is also a plus.

The face bursts into laughter as the rest of the ghost's body materializes, and she peels off the stringy strands of ectoplasm covering her eyes, grinning and discarding the fake threads. She opens her eyes and removes her head, stretching a little before reattaching it.

“There we go! That was a good reaction. Aah... man.”

She drifts over to your bag and picks it up, dumping the contents out and examining it.

“Not bad, not bad... This should do just fine.”

She climbs inside your bag, vanishing into it, and it glows softly for a moment before levitating.

“Fear me, human, for I have taken total control of your worldly possession!”

You watch the bag hover closer before it opens wide, and you roll out of the way as it attempts to latch onto your head. The bag turns around for another attempt, and you grab it and wrestle it to the ground. It's damp and a little sticky, and the ghost emerges from it in a huff.

“What's with you? I'm trying to do my poltergeist thing and you're completely ruining it!”

You look at your hands. They're covered in sticky slime. Ew.

“I've had a really long day of intimidating vampires, fooling around with werewolves and designing a religion from the ground up for what I hope is a haunted suit of armor that teaches history class.”

You turn to the ghost.

“This is probably the most normal thing to happen to me all day.”

The ghost blinks, before poking your nose.

“Boop.”

>Rules
Same system as Become The Dragon Quest. If you don't know what that is, it's best of three d20 rolls. I name a stat that sums up what you're trying to do, and if I don't name a relevant skill, you try to fill in the blank based on what you're trying to accomplish. “Break open the door” might be Strength based, but if you've been playing baseball after school and there's a lead pipe nearby, you could apply your Baseball skill to the roll. A 20 on the die is a crit threat, and if either of the other two rolls is 20 or higher after mods, it's a critical. A crit fail is when you have two or more 1s. So far this system has worked out well enough. We'll get into combat rules as needed, but in basic terms you have wounds, not HP, and the worse the wounds, the more penalties you accrue while doing other things.

Most Important Rule:
Have fun.

Replies might be a little slow to start tonight since I've got a few things going on, but it's mostly stuff that only takes a few minutes to take care of, and one big thing in a few hours.

>>Talk to the ghost, see what her deal is

>>44267030
Yes.

>>44267030

No, but graham McNeil is for retconning him so stupidly

>>44267073
explain?

>>44266726
He is a hyper-logical strategist who throws lightening at people.

Why not?

>>44266726
the most influential of factions' leaders are put into lord of war regardless of the actual impact of the miniature on the field.
despite representing well the one of a kind type these characters represent, I can bet my ass it was intended to make people who don't like to use the LoW slot familiarize with it more and eventually fall to the power creep of escalating super heavies and the associated big money.

>>44266726
Technically unless you are using that slot for a transcendent Ctan it is an advantage, you get an extra hq slot.
