"WHOOO~!" Is all that you can squeal as a huge wave carries you over the water. With a surfboard firmly under your feet, and the surprisingly natural ability to use it, you cut a clean swath through the water beneath you. Shun, Yui and Saito watch from the beach; all currently transformed into alternative gender versions of themselves (at your request). You steel your body and prepare your next move, slowly backing up the wave. You drift to the tip but maintain your balance, precariously positioning yourself in a high position.

"Surf King!" You proclaim from on high, throwing your arms up in the air. Saito grumbles, perhaps a trained surfer himself, but Shun looks just as happy as ever for you. Suddenly, you feel your feet start to wobble as a current nudges your board. You stumble, waving your arms around.

"WAUGH!" You squeak as the board starts to slip from under you. Almost as quickly as you lost control, something seems to nudge it back into position. Water sweeps over the surface, and seems to pin your feet back down. The two, watching this, expect a wipe - but you surprise them both by casually drifting back over the wave.

"Oh come ON!" Saito shouts, throwing her arms up. "He's an uncoordinated stick figure. How can he surf so well!?" She growls.

"Hey, his magical girl outfit has heels," Shun comments, shrugging, "he has to have some balance from that."

"Yes, but still..." Yui narrows his eyes and leers over the water, unable to see you past the waves.

Back in the water, you slump down onto your board.

"Whew, oh, wow I thought for sure I was going down." You sigh, wiping your wet forehead. "Nice catch, Hiroko."

A small plume of water emerges from the ocean next to you, slowly shaping itself into a small boyish face and body - a male version of your female friend, Hiroko.

"It's not," he snorts, exuding some seaweed, "ugh, easy when you stumble around so much."

"Hehe, sorry." You say, sticking your tongue out. "Ahh, I think I've annoyed Saito enough for today. We'll pick it up again tomorrow, heh~" You giggle to yourself. "Alright, let's head back."

Despite your request, Hiroko remains in place. His gaze is fixed on the shore, plastered with unease.

"Hiroko?"

"I, uh, a-are you sure we have to back right now?" He asks, slinking down further into the water. You smirk at him.

"Afraid to meet with Saito are we~?"

"...That's one of the reasons." He mumbles through bubbling water.

"Heh, just leave it to me." You say, beginning to paddle back. "I'll wave you over when it's safe."

"Um, okay?" He replies, not really understanding you. That smug grin sticks to your face all the way back to shore, where the three of them greet you.

"How was I?" You ask, squeezing some water out of your hair as you stand on relatively-dry land. Saito glares at you, with a smile.

"Unbelievable." She replies, with all honesty.

"Hehe, thanks." You say, tilting your head and smiling. "Small victories aside, there's something I want to ask of you three."

"What's that?" They ask.

> Do you all wanna see a cute boy~?
> Saito, compliment the male Hiroko.
>> Not much, say he's cute.
>> Completely gush- Loose it!
> Yui, don't be weird.
> Yui, be weird.
> Ah, nothing. I changed my mind.

In the last List thread, I posted up a Nurgle army list, I got some good advice and so changed it accordingly:

Why those heretics?

Overseer is secretly a legendary deathclaw.

You were secretly a government experiment this whole time with the powers of an anime character. You can suffer ridiculous falls and attacks as long as you make it comical, you blush an unusual amount, and you speak in a over the top japanese accent and language.

All of the vault dwellers are Stand Users

“So your name is Hartmut Harkin Halbschwert, yes?” You sat across the Mayor’s desk, nodding to every question he asks. You rubbed your gloves together, careful to remain stiff and orderly. First impressions are the only impressions after all. The mayor herself glances at you occasionally, looking at your accomplishments that you put down to ink on paper. Admittedly it wasn’t exactly well-prepared. In fact, you only came up with the idea of such a thing last night. And you had to spend quite a few coins asking someone to write it and dictate it for you. Reading is not exactly your strong suit after all. “You are from Solarno, across the sea.” She brushes her white hair back, grimacing a bit looking upon your list. “And… what is this?” She turns the paper over, showing off your crude drawing of you wielding your sword.

You smile, trying not to show your teeth. “Er, that is my demonstration of how I present myself in combat. You see, any thieves and right buggers that want to-“

She cuts you off, quirking her brow. “Why are you holding the sword by the blade?”

Ugh, this conversation again. “It’s an art, that my father taught me, and his father, and his father,” you explain for the hundredth time or so. “What it does-“ Wait for it. She’s going to ask it, isn’t she?

“You’ll cut your hands, won’t you?” she asks, as if talking to a baby.

You hold up your hands, showing off the specialized padded gauntlets that you wear. “I wear gloves, madam Mayor. And I have never in my life in the way that I wield my sword have cut my hands.”

You sigh. Maybe you shouldn’t have drawn that. It’s usually a dealbreaker towards people who want to hire you at all. That and your short stature and your inability to read. She leans back in her seat, nodding, not even giving you some sort of smile or frown or anything. “Listen, Mister Halbschwert. Ohlendorf’s Drift is a very poor town, and despite that, we have no problems with crime or with monsters or… well anything. The last criminal who attempted to steal a bag of gold pieces winded up getting tar and feathered by the mining community who make up the vast majority of residents here. And the miners while… eccentric, perhaps, are very reliable peacekeepers in their own right. Introducing an Adventurer will do nothing but present a new financial…”

She’s speaking very big words.

And involuntarily, you might have spaced out. This was a nice room after all, if barebones. You guess a poor town like Ohlendorf’s Drift might not have much in the way of luxury.

“And let’s see here.” You blink. “Even if we did want to hire an Adventurer, your records are not exactly impressive.” Really? You thought exterminating a nest of wild hogs was pretty impressive. Hogs are very slippery. And they eat everything, everything! “For example…”

> “Your honesty in stating that you ASSISTED in the slaying of an Elder Dragon is admirable, but it dilutes your accomplishment considering it says here you had the help of fifty other Adventurers.”
> “The extermination of an Ogre is impressive, the fact that Ogre was your size is not.”
> “Your actions at the Siege of the Goblin Hold of Terresko are admirable at first glance, but participation in the reinforcing wave after the initial Goblin line fell is not exactly flattering.”

>>44022626
>> “The extermination of an Ogre is impressive, the fact that Ogre was your size is not.”

>>44022554
Most of the utility is in background and proficiencies, the non-ritual utility spells are mostly shit, and ritual casting is literally one feat away from every class.

>>44022554
Fighters get just as many skills as anyone else save Bards and Rogues, and all of the subclasses offer a degree of Out-of-Combat utility.

The Fighter isn't only great at damage either. They're great at combat maneuvers thanks to their large number of attacks.

In addition, they get more Feats than any other class, which offer a lot more utility and power than previous editions. Picking up great utility feats or spellcasting is easier than ever.

>>44022631
Not really. Non-ritual utility spells are serious business. You have Legend Lore, Suggestion, Scrying, Teleport, and Plane Shift all in there.

You don't need to throw in dungeons just for the sake of having them.

A good way to test the waters for if dungeons would improve things, is to have them hired to steal something from a noble's manor, and have their mansion and security system function as a "dungeon" with traps and monsters (fluffed as hired security).

If that ends up being more fun, include more dungeons and shit, and if it ends up being less fun, just keep running around in their normal urban game.

>>44022899
That sounds like pretty solid advice. I haven't had this much fun since playing a table top RPG since 2e Dark Sun game back in '92

>>44022548
>>44022899
"Dungeon" doesn't necessarily mean a literal dungeon. Any specific location with a set of traps, encounters, puzzles etc is a dungeon.

Just like how a villain doesn't necessarily have to be a literal dragon.

Also, OP, if you're having fun you're doing it right, regardless of what preconceived notions or even rules say. However, have you considered alternatives to D&D? Some are built more specifically for things like stealth and social encounters, while others are more narrativist and rules-light and thus more flexible, if you worry you're not using D&D "right". But, again, if you're having fun you're doing it right.

"I said teach me, didn't I Rena? Don't worry about the semantics regarding Dark or Light or anything like that, it'll be a backup tool, right? No reason to worry about it." You say with a grin, giving the girl a pat on the shoulder than seems to relieve her quite a bit.

"Right!" She replies, sounding rather cheery. "So... I guess the best way to describe this sort of thing would be..." Rena trails off, evidently actually having to think about this rather than just knowing how to explain it. "You're unique Zev, you have fun in fights, your control of the Force is impressive, so for a technique like this you're already halfway there. To use the Dark side, at least, how Papa told me, you need to focus on your emotions, rather than keeping them bottled up like Jedi do."

She taps her cheek a few times, still evidently thinking about how to phrase this. "He said that most Sith use their anger, or hatred of something to drive them to use the dark side, but it's not restricted to just those sorts of things. Lots of Sith have been fueled by something else, desire for power being the most common one, you just... have to find what works best for you I suppose." Finishing with her own little shrug.

"And for the technique itself?" You ask.

"Oh that's simple! You just need to channel your emotion and The Force towards your fingertips, will it to take form, it might take a few tries, but you should be able to do it no problem! Just find an emotion to focus on and try it."

>CONT

>>44022048
What emotion to focus on though, the Dark Side normally feeds off of your more aggressive emotions from what Renari said, so it'd probably be easier to do that than to try to force something else to work... but is that really you? You really don't get that angry, you just have your determination to do better, the enjoyment you get out of life, and the less 'pure' emotion of lust... that last one probably wouldn't work though, not well at least. So instead you decide to try focusing on the enjoyment you feel, how much better your life has gotten since you arrived at the Academy. Renari and Master Tikran, you enjoy spending time with them, you enjoy learning, getting the chance to finally have an education. The delicious food, the warm bed, the chance to better yourself beyond being just a street rat, all of these memories and ideals come rushing forward as you concentrate your power to the tips of your fingers.

How did your session go this weekend, /pfg/?

>>44021984
DM went missing two hours before session was meant to start. Haven't heard from him since.

>>44021942
Is there a newer SoP update than 04/25/15?

>>44021938
Nope.

Dont see the point.

>>44021938
Meh. If it was good, I guess.

"M-meth fo eno uoy era?" She carefully whispers to you. The wind almost swallows her words from you, but your ears catch them. You're about to answer her, when you're reminded that you do not yet speak their tongue. For all your centuries of watching them, you've never heard them speak nor read their words written in ink. This curious little child who's freezing and has been crying for a long time is now staring up at you, her gaze meeting that of your one functioning eye that serves as the only source of light among the mass of darkness that you've become. In the distance, beyond the edge of the forest, you spot lights flickering in the wind. A village on fire, yet you hear no screams nor the sound of steel clashing with steel. You feel no anger from this child. Does she know what she's running from?

>Shake your head at her.
>Nod at her.
>Ignore her and walk towards the burning village.
>Ignore her and walk away from the burning village.

>>44020223
>shake your head
I'm guessing she's asking if we're going to kill her or something.

>>44020223
>Make a 'stay here' gesture.
>walk towards the burning village.

Can we change shape? Assume human form?

Do we have any mind-rape powers that will let us learn the language quickly, or will we have to do it the slow way?

in general, I find someone who's willing to consciously make a mistake in the name of their character's knowledge or personality

>>44019996
Someone who prioritizes making a positive contribution to the immersion of the other players.

Nobody needs another sperglord who thinks he's a great role-player because he knows the sickest build in D&D, focus on making the fiction feel alive for the rest of the group.

Someone willing to buy into the story the GM is telling, and help tell it.
