>How do you feel about the characterization of the Orzhov Syndicate on Ravnica? It’s always kinda bothered me that they’re a group of business people and bankers who act as a religious group but have scheming ulterior motives that aren’t fully clear and are ruled by a shadowy council. Like that all sounds pretty much like a lot of antisemetic conspiracy theories in the real world. Maybe I’m off base and reading into this too much because I had to study the history of antisemetism in college, but I want to hear people’s thoughts on this

Their themes more represent stereotypical Catholic themes anyway. Its the Church of Orzhov, not the Temple.

Either way, Orzhov is cool as hell and they've got neat looking armor.

So I'm trying to think of a way to design a system without the use of HP. I want it to be hyper lethal and modular so that it works with both modern and fantasy settings.

I only have the basis for an idea of stances and aimed points on a torso-head-arms-legs basis. There are critical points in each location, which are then rolled, and if a location is hit then the character takes a debug depending on what location was hit.

The closest thing to HP is your bleed out rate, which raises per wound you have and varies depending on what kind of wound it is.

So you roll tohit, hit location (varies depending on where you're aiming), and then roll critical location.

Would the extra steps make combat exciting enough? There'd be a lot of gore you could visualize of the dice tell you you get someone right in the stomach, after all.

Does Song of Swords do something like this?

What else can be done to stray a little farther away from HP chunks and bordelands shootemups?

I groan as my mom puts her hand on my forehead with a worryingly grave look on her as she pulls her hand back and shakes her head with a sad sigh as she pats my shoulder, pulling my blanket back over me with her other hand

"Yeah, you have a fever eli" She says softly as she reaches up and turns off the lights to my room "Well guess you're not going to school today then, I'll be right back, I need to take Katlin and Amanda to school, So if you need anything it'll have to wait a little bit, sorry sweetie"

"It's okay" I sniffle as I roll over on my side with a whimper as my head starts to hurt and ache, urrgh, I hate being sick, even if it gives me an excuse to stay inside, it's horrible.

"Don't worry about a fackin thing" Charlie chuckles as my mom walks out of the room, glaring back at him "I'll be her fackin servant today, since I'm such a nice contractor"

"Haven't seen you in awhile" I say smirking as the red goblin floats through the air tipping his cap down

"I've been busy" He says with a shrug

"Oh I figured as much...now can you get me some water?' I ask as my throat starts to feel real dry, charlie smiles and nods, vanishing in a puff of smoke as I pull my blanket closer to myself, cuddling up to my charlotte pillow since the real thing can't be here to comfort me right now

carry a silver platter with a single cup of tea on top of it, with a single wedge of apple in the side of it, with a light sprinkling of cinnamon and honey.

Tick tock breaths a sigh of relief, to tired to say anything as he grabs the cup of tea and takes a long sip from it as the waters of chaos start to buckle and bend, slowly coalescing together, looking more like some odd purple slime or torn and broken flesh.

"So is the abomination almost done cooking?" Lovely blue asks with a wire grin, her new limbs covered in heavy bandages and leather straps to hold them in place.

Tick tock nods, before pausing and holding up a finger

"Yes, but perhaps there is a bit of spice we can add to our yet unborn friend" He says, swaying his clock face head side to side, like that hands within it

What does Tick tock do?

Fuck narrative games. Bunch of hipster dipshits writing fanfic at each other with a bunch of guardrail rules to make sure that nobody's fanfic gets infringed by anyone else or the GM.

If you wanted to a do a collaborative storytelling exercise that's fine, but stop pretending it's a game. It isn't a game any more than those autistic quest threads are.

Fuck you!

Reposting:
Since the new meta for this edition looks likes lets give everyone on my army cover saves while ignoring everyone else's. As a Necron player how would built your army to counter that? I was think of blast marker cover ignoring 3+ armor Tomb Blades and Flamer Destroyer Lords and lots of Wraiths. I think using cover is still your best bet but that's move to get the other guy to burn tokens than for the cover save.

Also, is running a Destroyer Lord solo the best option for the model and then making it almost impossible to kill like a 'harassment Carifex' or do you have other good build ideas for the DL?

You are Chitose Sonohara a 17 year yankii, badass, badboy, & high school student.

You’re currently attending the 1st semester of your 2nd year at Onimaru Highschool of the Onimaru Trinity Sister Schools located in the dead center of Eternal Diamond City (Located on eastern coast of Japan). While much of your time spent is just dicking around and going to school for shits and giggles, you are also currently working part-time at your mentor’s establishment near the coast within the shopping district.

While you might have led quite the rough & tumble lifestyle for the better portion of a decade, it has come to your realization that FUCKING SHIT UP might not lead to the most prosperous of futures…

So super-charged with newfound determination to change your life, you venture forth into the unknown! Perhaps today will be great progress into a brilliant future of wonders untold!

Hiru_Sukimaru.png

“At least get our nom de guerre right, fuckface.” Hiru glared coldly towards the last man left standing. It seemed to unnerve the small time delinquent quite a bit judging on how his face contorted with discomfort. It was rare to see Hiru with an expression that wasn’t either tired-looking or happy in some way; it increased how threatening he could look to those who were unused to such an expression of disgust. “I’ll remove your useless, lower appendage, and beat some respect into you through the opening it’ll leave behind.”

Hiru’s threat was enough to make Siscon-guy make his first attack with the chain, and he swung wide in a horizontal arc in front of him. Hiru had planned for such a thing and ducked down to avoid it. The chain cut through empty air as Hiru dashed beneath the iron links of his foe’s weapon, and drew a fist back to strike hard at his opponent’s stomach. It was going well, until Hiru got close enough to be struck by Siscon-guy’s foot, as he kicked in reflex at Hiru’s sudden counterattack.

It connected solidly against his shoulder and Hiru was pushed back a few feet from the impact of the blow. He was able to keep on his feet for the next few seconds; that is until the chain had done a full spin around the delinquent-wannabe and struck him hard. It was almost a direct blow to his face, but he was able to react in time to block it from that, though it was still a direct blow to his forearms as he raised them to either side of his face to shield it.

>[1/4]
>>
The chain hit and with the momentum of the swing wrapped itself around his head and arms with the impact. He could feel it coiling around him, and was unable to act in time as Siscon-guy pulled the chain tight, wrapping it around his arms and head. With a tough yank, Hiru found himself propelled forward in a jerking fashion that led to his body falling forward. He was completely prone now, and it seemed like Siscon-guy was taking full advantage of that.

“Name da gir or not, I’ll teach you to lay hands on sis! I’ll teach you to lay your hands where they don’t belong!” Hiru was trapped blind as the chain bound his arms over his face and eyes; it left his entire body open to assault and he soon felt the pains of Siscon-guy’s kicks against his back and sides as he tried to get in as many hits as possible.

While Hiru was under assault, he kept aware of the situation. He could feel the tension lesson on his bindings, and endured a couple more hits afterwards in preperation to reverse the situation. With a swift roll out from under Siscon-guy’s stomping it left his foot crashing down further than he’d expected, and unbalanced him. Continuing his roll, Hiru freed his head from the chain before Siscon-guy could recover and used his roll to pull the chain free from his hand.

>[2/4]
>>
All it took was a single moment, and now Hiru was on top.

He used the momentum of his roll to swing his legs outward and spin himself into a kneeling stand. Siscon-guy’s eyes went wide at the realization that in the moment he’d stumbled his grip lessened on his chain, and now that very chain was in the hands of his opponent. His mouth hung open in terror, releasing a silent scream of terror as Hiru approached him, that fake smile mixing and intertwining with whatever malice lay deep within his psyche.

“N-no! S-stay back!” He tried to back away for an escape, but found his path blocked by the nook under the stairwell. He’d been encircled and trapped to a place where there was no escape. It made sense to the delinquent-wannabe why Hiru was smiling. He’d reached checkmate, and there was nothing he could do. “I-I’ll kill you, seriously!”

“Kill me? With what? I’ve got your sister. I’ve got your weapon. I’ve got your pride. I’ve got -everything- I could ever need to destroy you completely and utterly.” Hiru unbound one of his wrists and begun to spin the chain as S
iscon-guy had done before, though with a noticeable increase of finesse. “Repeat after me: ‘Red String Leech’ and ‘Golden Lion’.”

[Previous Thread: >>43427147]

An old man stands just inside a door recessed into the hillside. He gazes out at the lands beyond with a curiously vacant look; there's nothing intelligent behind those eyes, not any more. That mind has moved on to rather more impressive accommodations.

With a distant thrum of power, a massive obelisk comes to life; the arcane runes covering it glimmering with magical energy. If the first step in the Keeper's conquest of this continent was the planting of his Heart beneath these hills; the activation of that obelisk was the second.

Now, to take a third. Something resembling awareness returns to the old man's eyes, and he strides forward, out of the dungeon. Time to make some allies...

For those just getting in:

This is a Dungeon Keeper style Civ Quest. You are the disembodied consciousness of a relatively new Keeper, on a quest to conquer as much of this unexplored continent as you can manage. Your traits are as follows.

You are Colourless. With no natural connection to any of the five Colours of Magic, your ability to use spells is practically nonexistent. However, you compensate for this with a greater attunement to artifacts, including your Dungeon Heart; possibly the most powerful artifact known.
You are a Master Alchemist. You can convert Mana to Gold with perfect efficiency... and since you don't have much use for Mana anyways, you generally store all your Mana as Gold. You can also convert Gold into other useful resources; it's not terribly efficient, but you can transmute Gold into anything you need.
You are a Geomancer. You can tap the natural Mana of Lands by building Obelisks at key positions; this gives you a reliable income, and increases your territorial control.
You have Minions. You can create golems which are decent fighters, but exceptional workers; they are able to handle many construction and mining tasks in a fraction of the time conventional workers might.
You are a Sorcerer. Your magical abilities are self-taught, and you have little use for the tomes of conventional magicians. You don't benefit much from studying books; any progress you make in your abilities will be by testing out new ideas in the lab.
You have Ascended. Your soul is bound to your Dungeon Heart, not your body; you have a god's-eye view of your entire territory, and you can use your magical abilities anywhere within your controlled range. As an artificer, this has less to do with spells and more to do with device control; you can be a fearsome trapmaster, or puppet your golems as you would your old body.

Why do fighters and paladins in D&Dland generally prefer heavy armor instead of agility in light armor, in a world where the merest touch from the hand or spell-ray of a caster, demon, devil, or other magical creature is more devastating than any solid weapon? Let alone a dragon's breath.

Is it just the tired old "knight in shining armor" cliché?

Those things are all considered "very rare" for frequency of appearance, while things like bandits, goblins, and ogres which require heavy armor to counter are considered "common" or "uncommon".
>>
Because they're stats would never be high enough to dodge a wizards spell ray demons touch attacks regardless.

And armor doesn't affect reflex saves anyway. And either way they'd take half damage.

Not with D&Dland Dexterity logic.
