If you don't use a larva as a spell component or fiend making material, but instead keep it warm, safe and well fed, would it undergo metamorphosis?

What would it turn into? Nupperibo?

A moth probably? You didn't specify on the kind, so assuming just any larvae will do, moths are the easiest to gather in large amounts.

>>44262756
He means the D&D Larva. IIRC they're human souls that go to one of the hells and get turned into little gross worm things with people faces. Demons use them as currency and evil wizards can use them as spell components to make their magic more powerful.

Oh, I remember this campaign, and Council of Thieves. Bizarrely, in both campaigns, you have the option of giving one of the villains - a COMPLETE fucking ASSHOLE - a new lease on life for...some reason.

Like, why would anyone ever want to do that? I'll point out that the villain is also completely unrepentant. I mean "Meh, fuck it." is a completely rational choice.

Didn't see a thread where this really belongs but I have a question concerning armor aesthetics. Pic related, I've always loved these waistcloths on knights or suits of armor but I've never been sure what to call them besides waistcloths. Would anyone happen to know what this would be called?

Suits of armor with cloths, robes, skirts and loincloths thread?

As far as I remember tabards are above the armor, but it is still a coat or something and then the armor as second layer.

How educated is your Paladin?
I always imagined the Paladin an armored priest, the russ orthodox priests were oft the most educated people around and same goes for swedish protestant priests.

As educated as any other holy brother whose members are overwhelmingly dominated by younger sons of noble families. That is, very educated for their time, perhaps quite shit compared to ours.

I am thinking that a modern shadowrun style paladin would be a member of the police force that has 3 years worth of teological education (ifaik it is the college education of a priest in my country)

My next PC's motivation is going to be find a wife.

What're some other simple motivations for a character? I don't really Pathfinder anymore, but I remember really liking how one of the iconic PCs fell into it escaping a wedding, and another guy just wanted to learn magic after getting old.

My 4e Warforged Warden just wanted to explore the world.

His story was that he was de-activated some time ago, and only recently was actiavted again.

in hindshight this really seems like me copying Bastion from Overwatch, but whatever it's a cool background to play a warforged enjoying himself with all the sights and sounds this new world brings to it.

What would be a sensible justification for having a thieves guild in town?
120 posts and 5 images submitted.
>>
>>44261141
A town with little to no government, most likely governed by a distant power.
The guild serves as the closest thing to a governing body, mediating disputes, protecting productive citizens (and thereby their income stream).
In this case, the guild would be more like the classic old-country mafia or yakuza where they feel a certain sense of honor and pride in protecting their citizens, but they are still in the business of governing so that they gain wealth and maintain their power.
>>
To combat the imbalance of power created by a concentration of capital among a wealthy few, commonly known as "PCs"
>>
>>44261141
Have you ever read Discworld, OP?
The "Guild of Thieves, Cutpurses, Housebreakers and Allied Trades" as their full name goes, keeps the whole thing nice and organized. See, with how the Guild operates, any given citizen of Ank-Morpork will only be robbed by the membership of the Guild once per year. You get a receipt and everything to prevent it. As their numbers also include housebreakers, one can pay a yearly fee to have a plaque over their door to prevent official burglings.
"But what about non-guild thives, cutpurses, housebreakers, et cetera?" you may ask. Trust me when I say that those gentlemen do NOT want to be caught by the guild.
To top all this off, a significant portion of what the Guild pulls in each year is payed to the city in the form of the Guild Tax that all Guilds pay.

I'm going to be starting an only war campaign here soon the players have asked to fight tyranids on a forge world. Which is easy enough. What I'd like help with is mission complications. Here are some I have so far:

-squad finds civilian survivors in no-mans-land, upon radioing back they are told there are no civilians according to reports, and to ensure that remains correct.
-arch magos has squad assist in rounding up live tyranids, infected humans and the like for research purposes.


I'd like more little events like that to help spice up the campaign, though any advice on how to describe and portray a forge world as a GM would be appreciated (I have basic knowledge of what they are, but not much of an idea what they are like from the ground)

Forge World? How about stopping some power reactor from going critical an blowing up half a town? Extract a Techpriest who is very important? Have the group hijack a tank for a bit? Or have them tasked with killing a specific tyranid to make a group go feral?

Forge Worlds, like any world in 40k is ultimately up to you, but generally they are controlled by the Techpriest and have massive production complexes. Picture NYC dedicated to producing ONE part of one thing, well Chicago makes another. Generally think along the lines of an industrial complex in China, but huge. Again though the world is mostly up to you to make

War profiteering, desertion, various shades of crimes and war crimes. People doing horrible things just for a bite to eat or just to survive another day. People in power doing whatever they can to hold on to that power, or at least hold a semblance of power when everything is falling apart. People so stuck in denial they go about their routine as if nothing is wrong (refusing to evacuate, demanding and collecting taxes, enforcing no-assembly and refusing to let people/refugees pass through private property or squat on public property, etc.

Go watch a few war movies, and I don't mean shit like Saving Private Ryan. Watch some foreign ones so you get some idea of bad shit that happens.

Go watch some war movies, I guess?

Try 5e. While 4 Elements monk is a bit weak, it still gives a good amount of elemental flavor.

Alternatively, there's another Monk Subclass that came out lately that lets you shoot Radiant bolts, so asking your DM to change the damage type to Fire shouldn't be too far fetched.

Does it have to be DnD? I'm pretty sure that there are systems out there that do much better job of modeling martial art fights with mystical elements/animu powers than DnD.

op here, thought I'd just nudge in my hero while I'm at it.

>"The birth of a child is a beautiful thing for a family, but that wasn't the case for the Pityu couple. Their son was born a mutant, their son was born de evolved, their son was... Mutato. Born a scaley freak of nature, a lizard man by all definition, he was sheltered. Homeschooling was a must and neighbors didn't know the kid existed until he snuck out at 17 and went to a convenience store for the first time. Cops were called, sodas were stolen, and he read his first comic book. He was accused guilty and in his prison time learned of masked vigilantes and their heroism. He became a man of his own law by 20, Ohio's most wanted by 26, and the talk of every Akron hobo by 32."

I have a lot of superhero concepts floating around I never get to use, pic related. I also have concepts/backstories for a bunch of heroes which aren't on this screenshot called:

>Tailormade
>Mutato
>Medusa 9
>SaturnMutato Shadow
>Puma Boy
>Tarzan of the Crepes
>Undutchess

>Warshell
>Nucleonuke

Which I could go into if anyone gives a shit. My Mutato is not >>44260373 but a Swamp Thing-like potato mass, a sentient übertuber from Baden-Württemberg possessed and animated by the ghost of Sir Francis Drake. It's a mutant potato, is what I'm saying. I like the devolution thing, though.
