>Players that are Perfectly Coordinated with Each Other

If they could pull off in-character bickering rather than turning it into an actual skubfest it could make for some fun exchanges.

>>49858284
When you say eastern sword, do you mean folded 1000 times, or do you mean something cool like a jian?

They're perfect together.

You should only use this if you pair it with a boomerang.

>>49858982
of course then the ideal duo would be to have the other player using fans as weapons

>>49859053

If these characters don't fuck by the end of the campaign then they've both failed

>>49858284
If that's what it takes to be perfectly coordinated, then everyone is coordinated with everyone else.

I wish this could happen with my group. They've always been too busy measuring penises to work together.

Put them in deep shit, they will help each over. Method used by armies to bond their soldiers since decades, and always efficient.

It also works on boy scouts.

The two of them have a dualism-esque yin/yang dynamic. Insight and Deception, acrobatics and athletics. The pull off a combo move to get a donkey over a thin mountain pass by letting the cleric get on the rogue's shoulders. Rogue made the dex check, cleric did the animal handling.

Sounds like a great pair, especially if they're bros about their alignment differences.
>Rogue is in it for the money, but refrains from doing things that would offend the cleric's sensibilities (conning the innocent out of their money, stealing from sanctums etc.)

It was sweet enough that I allowed them to roll con and that gave them the surprise round to get out of the firing line.

>>49864072
That's pretty much it on the nose. They don't always get along but when the chips are down, they know who their friends are. And will probably do some kind of combo move.

That means they're doing it wrong.

I wish my players did things like that. Bro-stuff.
Two of them are going as a father-and-son team for my next campaign. I really hope they milk it for all it's worth. The father is half-deaf and the son is a bard (there might be a causation there).

So the Chinese one is a guandao, the European one is a glaive, and the Japanese one is a naginata. What's the Middle-Eastern one?

Contrary to the typical expectations, that's a girl.

It's probably not that great of a sword though. It might have even been purely ceremonial.
