You have sixty seconds to justify why a fantasy setting would contain magic, which doesn't exist in real life, without using any argument that boils down to "it's not real life". If you don't answer in sixty seconds I'll kill you through the internet.

It is neither good nor evil, that is for certain. Those are ethical principles. Nothing in the natural world has ethical principles. The natural world has no principles as at all. Patterns, on the other hand, are everywhere in the natural world. And what are law and chaos but patterns?

How does the Awakened Blade prestige class actually work under the current Psionics Augmented: Soulknife rules? If Gifted Blade is free, do all levels of the Awakened Blade advance both mind blade and manifesting?
I had heard from Gareth earlier that a soulknife (war soul)/psychic warrior (pathwalker)/Awakened Blade advances only either their soulknife side or their psychic warrior side, never both. Is this true?
Why don't all RPGs where mind control exists have an Ego stat that functions as mental HP?
>successful mental attacks lower the target's Ego before effect is determined
>you can't make an enemy surrender unless their Ego is under your skill
>you can't make an enemy hurt someone they normally wouldn't unless their Ego is negative
>enemies magically converted to your side still recover Ego and have a chance to shake off the enchantment unless it is regularly renewed
Ending every fight in one turn with "go to the police and turn yourself in" doesn't sound fair or fun.

It has come to my attention that the Adeptus Administratium has "misplaced" the vast information and knowledge about this knight house. And with the old rememberances and sages long dead, we need to make this "interveiw" in order to archive this house once again.
So, let's get started with the first question:
What is the Nature of your Vow?

/tg/, I come to you with a matter of obscure planar lore. VERY obscure planar lore. "More obscure than Temporal Prime, hassitor, and aphanacts" obscure.Afroakuma, stay out.
What are "probabilities," "probability lines," and the "7th dimension" under the context of the D&D cosmology?
These are mentioned in 1e's Unearthed Arcana druid:
www.angelfire.com/games/Oerth3/Druids/AppendixA.html
>At 23rd level: Enter any of the Inner Planes. Roam the Inner Plane probability lines (the 7th dimension). Enter the Plane of Concordant Opposition.
And are also alluded to by the AD&D 2e Complete Psionics Handbook's "Probability Travel" psychoportive science, which physically transports a psionicist to the Astral Plane:
www.supersutter.net/Alcirya/Tools/Psionics/Psychoportive/Sciences/Probability%20Travel.html
The only things I can bring up regarding them are that they were part of Gary Gygax's original cosmology work:
http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=563
http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16762
>This is part of Gary's emerging conception of the AD&D cosmos (the planar structure in the PH was not supposed to be exhaustive). Saga of Old City (and in a slightly different form, Mythus) lists the nine dimensions of the multiverse: length, breadth, height, astrality, ethereality, time, probability, extra-conceivability, and nonconceivability.
Does anyone know anything else about these mysterious "probabilities," "probability lines," and "7th dimension"?

It most likely has nothing to do with dice rolls.
Further research shows me that in 1e, Probability Travel was originally used to allow a psionicist to travel directly to other worlds and planes, rather than just the Astral Plane. It is likely that "probabilities" and "probability lines" have something to do with planar travel. If astrality and ethereality are valid dimensions, then in some respect, "plane" is another valid dimension.

So what are some interesting Paladin concepts/character concepts that would be refreshing/non-standard?
When it comes to Paladins, I found some interesting concepts:
1. A Paladin of a dream goddess that guards people while they are sleeping, protects their dreams from nightmares, goes cheerleader mode so that people would fight off their nightmares, and tells people to follow their dreams.
2. A Bardic Paladin that does both things a Bard and a Paladin can.
3. A Paladin of a god of fear that is pretty much what if Batman was a Paladin that would summon scary shit to terrorize evil beings.

>>
>>43587963
Heh. Did something about that third point.
The Paladins of Fear, known also to some as Dreadknights, are the servants of the god called Noc.
Noc is the god of fear, horrors, nightmares and terror. For some reason however he is different in that despite the elements that would qualify him to be a member of the evil gods such as Bane, he is also a god of justice and tenacity against the nightmares that haunt the mortal realms. Although his tenets are spreading fear, he also adds that only those who do evil are to experience these. The Dreadknights themselves do not succumb to fear. One wonders what their trainings include that they are the stone cold individuals they are.
Noc's Paladins differ from those of other gods in certain aspects. While Paladins are courageous, the Dreadknights literally fear no evil, for they are fear incarnate. No horror, either material or supernatural, cannot break them. Whereas even the most strong-willed adventurers break in fear, the Dreadknight casually walks onwards. While normal Paladins resolve certain situations with diplomacy, the Dreadknight will simply induce pure fear in the hearts of evil creatures. Even if those are demons or eldritch monstrosities, none is beyond Noc's grasp.
The creed of the Dreadknights is that only in through overcoming their fears can they see that for what they truly care. This implies that many of these individuals experienced personal tragedies that prompted them to don their obsidian black armors and regal blue capes and become the ones who strike fear into evil. Despite the aura they radiate, these warriors are as heroic as their counterparts serving other gods, and will stand guard against the evils in mortal hearts and the horrors that would blast a mortal's mind into oblivion and hurl him into the abyss of insanity.

Hello /jc/! How often do you "Play along" with a jump? Or do you prefer to be an OCP to everyone?
>>
>>43587880
I play along with the setting. That is, I use the setting's powers as much as is possible until it's no longer convenient. I don't care for the plot or any characters in it, though. I'll break it apart if I feel the need.

I don't get what happened in the last thread.

How do you handle the party relationship on a first session? Do you let them meet up for the first time and handle first impressions etc? Or do they already (somewhat) know each other when you start out?
I usually tend to go with the second option as it tends to move things along a bit faster and I've had some awkward moments with some players reciting their life stories to people they've known for about ten minutes.
What's your approach? Any advice on character introduction or related stories?

In general it gets templated as follows:
>Give me no less than two and no more than twelve important events in your life
>Give me one major positive relationship you have in-universe (old friends/the excellent chef/some contact you know the face and enjoy meeting)
>Give me one major negative relationship in-universe (people who want you dead, folks that stole from/have stolen from you etc)
>Give me one or more people in the party you know, tell me why
It avoids shit like stick in the mud Pallies in mostly morally ambiguous parties and edgelords in campaigns that have no use for them. No backstory/empty backstory = no play, and you'll probably not get invited again.
Party members will usually know base info >>43587763 OOC beforehand and learn expanded info IC as time goes on.
>>
The option that worked out best for me was a little bit of both; the more mundane or easily connected characters are a preexisting adventuring party (or organisation/group) with the special snowflake/loner type character meeting them by circumstance at the start of the first session. Before things can get awkward, they are all immediately thrown into a conflict or battle of some sort, bonding them and giving them something to discuss. Maybe they are attacked by bandits or find the loner locked in combat with some monsters.

If I want to get into tabletop RPG's over the internet (mostly interested in Dark Heresy but open to anything), how should I get started?

Find people to play with.
Hope they are ready to commit to a game.
Hope they aren't assholes.
Arrange a time to play.
Play.

>>43587671
That's another problem.
I'm going overseas in a few months, to a country where I don't think there's nearly the same kind of interest in these things, and where there will be a sizable language barrier for at least a few months, probably longer.
As for finding people online, I don't know where to go. I have a friend or two that would be interested, but none of us have GM experience.
I'd ask if anyone here was planning on running a game, but I did that years ago, but for some reason it didn't work out, and I got the impression that it was bad form to just post here looking for a group to join.
>>
>>43587688
the kind of people who post on /tg/ looking for games to play are not going to be ones with a lot of experience or a lot of friends they can already play with, if you catch my drift. Sure, there's gamefinder threads, but pretty much everyone I've spoken to has been dissatisfied with the players found that way.
See if you can find a game on roll20 or something.

Holy shit it's impossible to find a modern-ish day looking woman with notable face scars, that isn't drawn so that they're creepy looking.
Trying to find a reference pic for a major NPC in my traveller campaign that's been in a war zone and old enough to have 2 kids. But it seems I'm stuck with creepy looking art, or they're all super kawaii with a eye patch.
