what is this? Casca from alt-timeline where Guts perished?

>>53593204
Depends on where they're from.

>>53593204
Yiddish accents.

>>53593226
Yeah, I'm going to vote for the Yiddish accent, too. Dwarves are short little bearded men with a bunch of incomprehensible rituals and traditions who have a reputation for loving gold that is not helped by their other reputation for being excellent jewelers. Dwarves are Jews.

A thread died for this

A few months ago I took part in a challenge on /qa/ to go to a board I never browsed and spend 20 minutes there.

These fantasy GF threads are some seriously depressing shit. No wonder nobody wants to date those guys.

>>53593018
I just thought the idea of ancient lovecraftian horrors turning out to be not entirely incomprehensible to mortals and trying to get along with them despite still having many differences between the two to be an interesting concept.

Hello?
is anybody there?

Cyberpunk is a cool setting but honestly a pretty shit system. You're better off using something like Shadowrun. Yeah it's got magic and orcs and shit but at least the system isn't just rolling attribute+d10 for everything.

I suppose I should add that we're using the standard Expertise and Improved Defences bonus feats, along with Inherent Bonuses.

>>53592616
Well first things first, you need a lance. It'll give you 1[W] more damage on a charge, but -2 attack while not mounted (which you shouldn't be). Then I'd pick Half-Orc for all the juicy melee bonuses and STR and DEX bonuses for using spears. Also, I'd go with a fighter instead of a paladin since paladin won't give you any other mounted bonuses and going fighter will just make you suffer less from MAD. You'll also be less survivable without Lay on Hands, but you should be able to rely on your Half-Orc abilities and the party Leader for that.

>>53593122
Then what you'll do is open combat with a charge for a bunch of damage, then continue with At-Wills and Encounters.

Its wizards are kickass but can't cast spells to solve every problem because Chaos and Perils and shit.

>>53592109
Better than which D&D?

Wild Magic done right?

If you had to choose between Reanimate, Necromancy, Animate Dead, and Victimize for a slot in your deck, which would you choose and why?

Or it could be the end of a sentence like 'those who would see the Master of Mankind dead' and it's just bait.

>playing 5e campaign with a party comp is basically paladin, fighter, bard and rogue.
>DM decides to do a sort of mystery session, where the party volunteers to investigate a murder case because the paladin is a righteous prick
>go around town and investigate, gather up three different leads from the guard's prime suspect (the victim's father) thanks to the paladin's Zone of Truth
>The leads are: A farmer and his wife, a drow who lived on the outskirts of town and kept to himself and a minor noble/rich guy who was a bit infamous for having a bad temper and had an abusive relationship with the wife.
>we decide to talk to all of them, gather a bit of information from all of them. Farmer seemed a bit confused and hesitant, so we decide to talk to his wife instead.
>one of the party members gets the idea of getting the rogue to disguise himself as the farmer and walk around the house to gather papers
>we all think it's a brilliant idea, bard helps him out as the party ensembles a plan.

>bard is somewhere in the middle, making sure things go to plan

>apparently, their kid died in an accident
>DM roleplays this and describes it so fucking well, saying how the wife looked like she was holding back tears and expressing the way that she misses her child and that she felt guilty for what happened

I know it may not be super sad, but it was unexpected and the DM did a great job at it.

>would it or they be called 'human', at least in a psychological and ethical sense?

No, they'd still be called robots, but now they would be "people" or "persons".
Human is just the common name for the animal we are.

>>53587392
I need to finish that manga.

>>53587392
I don't think a robot could truly feel emotions like a human. Sure it can be programmed to think it has emotions, but those wouldn't be real ones just numbers. Changing the integer in its #var_like wouldn't come even close to approximating the depth of genuine human emotions.

then why the fuck did you include the edition you were playing?
for the record i wholeheartedly think fourth edition is the best D&D

You should clarify the mechanics of the dark sign, so people know what you're talking about exactly.

>What should trigger the players getting it?
The games never specify how people get it. Some places it's implied it's something you're born with, other places make it seem like a literal brand that can be put on someone, and it's even possible that both or neither of those are true. It's a big unanswered question so you can do whatever you want. Do you have an equivalent to bonfires as well where players with the darksign would respawn? If so just have the first character that dies disintegrate and show up at the last one they were at.
>How to implement the effects of hollowing onto the PC?
This is harder because you have three (or four if you wanna count soul vs. body form in DeS) mechanics to choose from, as well as the loss of mental function that was never implemented mechanically. So specify what game you want hollowing to be most like and this'll be easier to answer.

Did the whole community die or something?

Fingers crossed we don't get a Nurgle explosion along the lines of AOS popKhorne party. I'd like to see some new models love spread evenly across all the spikey boys

Theyre all on the general threads now which is heresy of the highest degree.

>>53585496
You can build acolytes out of any human soldier pretty much.

Too bad that Xenos inquisitors lost fucking everything fun about them.
