I also know that certain types of lasers work decently underwater but I couldn't tell you exactly which.

Sonic weapons could work underwater. There are certain species of dolphin that use blasts of low-frequency sound to stun fish at close range and make them easier to catch.

Have you tried mega phones? I found this in the kart. It's great!

Literally port the mechanics straight from the games, that's all you have to do
If you're playing in-person it may be less than ideal to do all the calculations manually, plus it'll take forever, but if you have access to online macros you just need weapon/unit stats and you're more-or-less set

I ran a campaign with that method and it was the best experience I've ever had- combat was streamlined and felt just like the games, only instead of getting angry by yourself when an enemy lands a 3% crit you get to yell alongside an entire congregation of players, which I've since learned is the ultimate FE experience anybody could ask for

There's a system that attempts to compile series classes/weapons/mechanics/etc into an easy reference, but I'm personally not a fan of its growth system and would houserule that into more series-proper rates (again, because macros make that a lot easier)

Granted, this way means anything not strictly combat is basically freeform, which may or may not fit for your group, but if you can get past that it's great

>>54581604
Strike! is made for tactical combat, and has a bunch of alternate rules and subsystems that let you link together scenarios with few rolls inbetween.

It's very gamey, though, so if you would want simulationist you are better to look elsewhere.

>>54581604
Currently running through a 5e homebrew alongside a separate lord thing. So far it's feeling ragtaggy but it's not terrible and the players are slowly trying to uncover the why of how the campaign started. I don't think it's all that great, considering this is just a 5e homebrew but I've wanted this for years and this is a system that's easy to pick up.

>>54581238
Find a new group if it upsets you so much.

It's probably a problem with you, not your characters.

>>54581238
Play as a monk with low wisdom and DEX. Make sure to fluff him as a one armed old man while you are at it.

For me, it's Simic (UG).
Nature with nurture, life enhanced and made better, and using these to aid the community. All of these I personally like.

Temur. Also we need an artfag to draw anime waifus for the tricolors like the Ravnica ones

>>54579281
I might be up for the task. It'll make for some excellent training.
It just might take a while.

Centurions are anti tank.

>>54577034
Oh shit you remember those? Don't tell me you have some in your collection!

Why bother
That's almost an entire game session

The mongols maybe?

>>54567849
Actual barbarians. Or Vikings.

Why not, after all? We're not constrained by real world geography, and so long as not!Arabia has a coastline it can be plundered.

>>54567884
Sand Vikings sound pretty amazing actually.

Have some variant of longboat that can sail in the sand.

A) Go to /pgg/ / /pfg/, it's effectively a 3.5 general
B) Steal Pathfinder's mass combat rules or use swarms.

If you wanted to run the combat in real time with the players, I would group together chunks of soldiers.

Squads, regiments, blocks, however they're organized. Make stat blocks for them and have them duke it out like monsters. I think it could easily be represented on the table if that's what your players want. It would play almost like 40k epic, or any similar game.

Background works just as well, but I would talk to your players about what they think would be the most fun!

>>54566318
Heroes of Battle, Stormwrack if yall go naval.

I used to be better at yugioh.
I play magic now which I have always been bad at.
I think I would be bad at yugioh if I tried playing again.

I like Magic more on a fun factor but on a competitive level I much prefer yugioh because it's more affordable than any other competitive magic format

one day pauper will actually take over MTG

The Emperor operates on an entirely different level from mortals. You cannot possibly comprehend his reasons for trying to help humanity.

Because he's only interested in power. He's a hivemind made up of ancient chieftains who wished to calm the Warp so as to safeguard their souls. The Warp would eventually become so unstable that their reincarnation abilities would no longer work. As soon as they died, their souls would be consumed by demons. To prevent this, they pooled their souls together to create the Emperor, and embarked on a mission to destroy Chaos and calm the Warp. They fear death above all else, and their apotheosis was planned. They purposely engineered the Horus Heresy in order to facilitate this. This is why they did nothing to stop Horus or the Primarchs from falling when they could have.

>>54561099
The Emperor has always cared about Humanity but not humans. He wants the whole race to improve and have a future where they rule supreme above everything and he will sacrifice as many people as it takes in order to get there.

He has always been an inhuman monster of a god for humanity, he sheds a tear for heroes that die in the name of His dream but not for the billions that are grinded to dust daily in his most terrible regime.

By giving it to the masses, to make the nobles accountable for their actions.

Who's going to argue?

Custodes?

The world is secretly an hourglass, and the time of inversion approaches. To make ready many cults are creating great ornithopters on which to ride into the new world

Sand Mages are able to break apart their bodies into small, telepathically controlled particles and slide across the sands like a ghost, riding on the wind.

>>54556546
This explains all those castles submerged by sand.

As time goes on older and more horrible ruins are revealed. When the last grain of sand goes underground it starts raining sand.

She's pretty good in EDH

White phyrexians as a religion is way more interesting as a villain than old-phyrexians ever were.

What rulebooks would be good for a Final Fantasy-inspired setting?

I'd suggest Low Tech, for weapons and armor options if you prefer more Final Fantasy Tactics to the main line games. Then Fantasy for ideas about how to run a fantastic game. After that you've got a lot of choices because, well, FF is a really broad set of games that cover a lot of area.

Thamutargy is a good choice if you want to customize magic to suit your favored type of FF, while there is GURPS Steampunk 1: Settings and Style if Final Fantasy 4 was one of your favorites.

If you prefer the later ones with a more science fantasy feel, Ultratech, Biotech and Spaceships might be good, especially if you want to create some airships. There's plenty of stuff in Spaceships 7 that would suit that well.

That said, those are only ones you might want to use. If you prefer to keep things simple the basic set can handle it with no supplements.

>>54533003
>with a more science fantasy feel
Bingo. Going to write up an adventure today, the ones you listed sound perfect.

Savage Worlds. You have a bunch of powers, and they can be customized by "trappings" to give them effects that match common ideas about things like elementals.

GURPS.
