As strong as they need to be to sound impressive.

>>43607938
No, they're much stronger than just 10 ton lifters. Space Marines outside of armor and nekkid have the strength of ten men, power armor multiplies this a further ten times, which puts them well into the double digit benching range.

Which makes sense considering that Astartes do shit like rip apart tank armor with their bare hands, push tanks and large vehicles around, carry tree logs without exertion, etc.

>>43608024
well if an average man (lets assume guard) can bench press 200lbs one rep max (this is probably still low) a marine not wearing armor can bench press 1 ton and with armor 10 tons. Sounds about right to me.

40k is shit.

Reposting from last thread:

>I've been reading the Greywalker series, and while I think Kat Richardson has trouble describing things (come to think of it, I wonder if maybe that's because of the whole "she doesn't own a television" thing her About page proudly declares?) and the .epub has some bad formatting and a few spelling errors, but Greywalker is really good for an idea of what Twilight might be like--she's very much got that whole Geisty "seeing the dead all the time and having trouble drowning them out" thing going on--as well as the way that her connection to the Grey gives her what amounts to Mage Sight.

>She sees auras, and can sense magical effects. Going deep into the Grey--what is effectively Twilight, the place of creatures of death like ghosts and vampires and zombies, and also a place where there are the remnants of different time periods all stacked on top of one another, with ghosts and Greywalkers able to move between them; ghosts walking through walls is described with the same rationale that I've used, they simply walk through an area where there's no wall in Twilight--means that she's also able to see the underlying fabric of reality, which she sees as taut, pulsing strings of living energy. Some of the chapters seem like exactly the kind of descriptions that DaveB has used for Mage Sight and how it feels and functions.

Being Human is a pretty decent show; both the US and the UK versions. I like the UK version more, in terms of story, though.
It's sourced in the Beast book, iirc, as an Inspiration, though, so I guess it's a bit of a given. Basically, it's about a Vampire(Daeva or Ventrue, both fit)and a Werewolf(more of a Wolf-Blooded with a Tell that turns him into Gauru or Urshul form on the full moon, depending on which show you watch), who decide to move into a house together to try and pretend they're human for as long as possible. They quickly realize they have a third housemate, though, a Ghost(Rank 1 to start out, but she raises to Rank 3 or 4 by the start of the second season). The shows have their own separate mythologies, and they go separate ways after the first season, so it's worth watching them both.

In The Flesh could also be used as a piece of Inspiration for a Promethean game: The PDS-sufferers are all Frankensteins, and some fuckhead(probably a mage) found a way to channel the Divine Fire into the corpse of everyone who died within the past year. Of course, it didn't go exactly as planned; something went wrong, and they start out as mindless zombies who eat people. Eventually, though, some other mages figure out a way to treat the plight and return the zombies to sentience. That doesn't mean the rest of the world is happy with the walking corpses, though. The show tells the story of one guy's experiences after he's released from the treatment facility.

Lost Girl screams of Changeling, and a bit of every other splat as well, given that EVERYBODY in the show with any kind of supernatural ability falls in the category of "Fae". They stick to Light and Dark courts, but the show is about the one woman-a Darkling Succubus-who chooses not to align herself with either court.

From Dusk Til Dawn: The Series is a group of mortals finding themselves at the mercy of a group of Setites.

Oh god.
>Oh, whoops, dropped the jar of locusts. I hope the humans are allright.

>>43607164
yeah, so what?

>>43606711
Yes, its evil. The question is: Is that evil worth doing?

It would be more evil to do it without consulting her, but less even than if you consulted with her and did it anyway.

>>43606711
I would say yes. The 'path of good' says to raise the child and watch over them, try to make them good. Even if it's futile, can't punish someone for something they haven't done yet.

However, if you know it's a fact you cut that fucker down the second they go to do something "evil".

Or you could go the "morals aren't black and white route" but that probably makes you evil in most alignment cases.

>>43606711
Killing the baby is justifiable but its the ''easy'' option. The more ''good'' option would be to raise the baby not to turn evil and have preparations for their elimination if needs be.

As for forcible miscarriage, that is evil if only because its forcing it on to another person whom is essentially an innocent bystander.

If she refuses, you prepare to either turn evil in the eyes of most people, and possibly yourself, or you prepare some form of contingency (murder the kid just after birth)

CHA should be 1 point lower. WIS should be one point higher.

His CHA was actually not that bad, but he should have a 40 % penalty for dealing with nonviolent races.

If one happens to have a cultural reason to consider it a sign of respect is the most obvious thing in my opinion.

Like you eat the flesh of strong warriors so its a sign of respect for your enemies and you would expect your enemies to do the same to you.

You won't swing Lawful most likely but NG, N, CN, and CG should all be accessible.

Its shit.

Sorry but it is.

The total lack of interest yesterday should have made this clear.

>>43606186
>>43606216
I did. The one post I got was from a nice guy who suggested that I add the names of the primarchs in addition to the legion numbers in case not everyone has them memorized.

Is it really shit? Why do you think GW numbered them the way they did?

Chromatic dragons in denial.

He's pretty lucky the GM didn't kill him off right there. But I'm not done

>Who are we?
Maka, an exiled noble Exalted as a Zenith-caste Solar. Queen of Gem, now ruling the western island of Tianna. You have gathered a vast amount of allies and friends, and defeated every threat to Tianna up to now.
You recently discovered that Tianna is actually an artificial island, built around a First Age Titan: an almighty flying fortress. Your forces have crushed the Bodhisattva Anointed by Dark Water, a Deathlord who tried to usurp its power for himself.
Now you have built a solid power base, and worked hard to draw the attention and earn the trust of the Unconquered Sun. What will your next step be?

>Solar? Zenith? I don't know Exalted...
This quest is as newbie-friendly as possible, and I want it to work as a newbie's intro to Exalted. If you have ANY question, ask in thread. For the setting, google "1d4chan exalted".

>Archive?
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Solar%20Quest

>System?
Dicepool-like system. When performing an action, everyone rolls 1d10 when posting. the first X rolls are considered, where X is equal to attribute + ability.

>XP?
Attributes cost [current score x5] xp. Abilities cost [current score x3] xp, except Zenith costing [(current score x3) -1]. Charms cost 10 xp, except for Zenith-based charms (related to charisma and physical/mental fortitude) which cost 8 xp. At the end of every "session" (thread) you will be presented with a list of possible acquisitions.

I find it hilarious that i thought it was Touhoufag, only to find out its worse in that it is some weird council straight out of a conspiracy theory.
>>43605591
Why do you often post weird progressive drow women trying to force their new age values and covering up skin. Tis an offense to lolth and it destroys traditional drow family values. How will people be blinded by lust and betray each other, or set a good example for their kids to seduce their enemies to better gain access to their secrets? Not to mention the degradation of drow morals and culture such clothes bring about, soon people will only be having sex for love, its disgusting.

>So how is it?
It's pretty good, the alternating activation's are a nice change of pace from my time playing 40k, feels more fluid and dynamic.
>And what are the cards for?
The card decks are for adding new variables to the game, either by affecting the environment on the table, giving bonus or penalties to the models, or dropping down passive/active threats onto the table like Imperial's Offensive and Defensive sentry turrets.

>>43605493
I see. How does it compare to Infinity ? Are the cards a must ? Any pages beside the official one or forum I could look up the gits of it ?

>>43605699
Compare about what?
Price? they are mostly cheap to build and even cheaper than infinity in term of per model, but maybe because its resin

Game? Well, it comparably balance and their d20 system are working well, but cannot say much since they have different gameplay

Sculp? Bretty gud hombre, some of the minis are comparable and more metal than infinity, but their women lines are not so much

The cards are mandatory but you can play basic games without cards

I dont know about any other pages about them, but maybe there some blogs scatered accross.the
