How do i stop my players from killing civilians and prisoners?
>>98520984So it sounds like everyone except you wants to play a murderhobo campaign. Maybe your paladin needs to fuck off, vowing to bring them to justice, and you replace him with a degenerate scumbag.
>>98514425Same way Legend of Zelda has you not steal stuff.Labels you a THIEF forever.Have the NPCs learn about what they do and have them be referred to as no no words.
>>98514425Give them an Aura of Righteousness. NPC, Guards and enemies will be hostile, afraid or dont trust the players. Maybe a high negative Aura triggers curses or increasing mobs of enemies.
>>98514425WHY CONTAIN IT?
>>985144251. Why would you?2. Why would they?From most TTRPGs point of view, terminating a threat before it becomes recurring / a burden just makes sense. Outside of polite society, initiation of the use of force need to be retaliated as quickly and effectively as possible, and the well-being of the aggressor is not your responsibility.So the question becomes "Why would they?". Prisonners are a subdued threat, but a threat nonetheless. A drain on resources. So you have to make it worth the players' while. Is ransoming captives captured in battle part of your setting? Was there a bounty on their heads worth 3x more if brought in alive? Are the prisonners potential bargaining chips valued by their nations or fully expendable? Do the captives have information, or even better, skills that would benefit the PCs? Assuming PCs woupd be willing to take prisonners at their expense, is there a way for them to deal with the prisoners humanely?> Be us.> Evil DnD 3.PF group> Remnants of a thieves' guild rebuilding itself.> Leader: Pat.

>>98519171A true Jekyll and Hyde type character would have one character sheet, but two separate physical appearances. Hyde was basically just a disguise that allowed Jekyll to act out his own dark urges without ruining his pristine reputation

Specialized Beastmaster CompanionThis is basically what you're looking at. As you can see, it's very crowded, and this is literally just the must-have pet-related feats. In a free archetype game you've got a lot more flexibility, but in a game with standard class feat availability this basically is the build. You'll squeeze in any other goodies you can between these levels; if you're melee, grab Twin Takedown and Disrupt Prey. If you're ranged, you might get away with grabbing a couple of the extra pet-related goodies, or you can pick up abilities like Distracting Shot/Greater like a normal bow and arrow ranger would.
>>98521920Given the ambient smell at my FLGS, it's still valid in 2026.
2eQuestions in regard to the Adapt Benefit of the Tome for Thaumaturge. First is how the free Recall Knowledge each turn interacts with the Diverse Lore feat. Can you combine the free RK with the RK from Exploit a Vulnerability or would the RK from EV be using a higher difficulty?Second is if you are fighting multiple of the same enemy. When the free RK for the +1 circumstance bonus eventually fails does that mean you can't use it on the other same enemies or just the one you failed on?
>>98524010The tome benefit is a regular Recall Knowledge check. You get a free one each turn, and it's subject to all the bonuses and penalties that a normal Recall Knowledge check would be (including an increased DC for repeated attempts on the same subject: https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=2640).The Diverse Lore benefit is its own thing--it's not a Recall Knowledge check. The way that works is that, when you succeed an Exploit Vulnerability check, you also compare your result against the creature's base Recall Knowledge DC. If you clear that DC as well, you get an extra piece of knowledge "as if you had succeeded at the Recall Knowledge check." Since this isn't actually a Recall Knowledge check, it neither suffers from nor contributes to your penalty for repeated attempts.So for example you might:>Start your round and use the tome benefit to make a free Recall Knowledge check on a zombie. If you succeed, you're awarded a piece of info.>Exploit Vulnerability on that zombie and roll high enough to succeed against both a Standard DC of its level and its base Recall Knowledge DC. This awards you a second piece of info.It's also possible that all three of those DCs are different. If this a repeat attempt, your tome's Recall Knowledge check will be against a higher DC. Then, your Exploit Vulnerability check will be against a Standard DC of the creature's level. Then, if you succeed, it'll be compared to the creature's base Recall Knowledge DC. That's two Esoteric Lore checks compared against three DCs, which might all be different. It's kind of a clusterfuck.Regarding identical enemies, it's circumstantial. There's language in GM Core about differentiating between unique characters and generic enemy types so, if you're fighting a handful of "goblin warriors" for instance, your GM is likely to lump all those Recall Knowlegge checks together for the purposes of repeat checks. If there's a named goblin in the mix however, he might be treated as his own thing.
>>98524701Thanks for clearing that up. Playing a thaumaturge now and have been doing the first part wrong for a while now. This will help going forward.

Just finished pic rel and it was actually pretty damn good. Cosmic/Weird and Urban horror mix surprisingly well together.Anybody know any other similar settings?
>>98515728Last I’ve heard of Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan he was writing a column on rpg net and has just announced a Bas-Lag RPG. It has been a long time, thanks for the trip down memory lane.
>>98523465You need to know what happened, have a list of revelations that will lead the PCs towards the thing that happened, and a stable of NPCs or situations that will allow the PCs to find those revelations. That, too me, is a lot easier to prep than a dungeon or statting up a bunch of antagonists. I'm about to start a supers game and I'm staring down the barrel of building a bunch of NPCs, that's a *much* bigger pain in the ass than writing a mystery.
>>98524112Definitely too few points for me to run a mistery.
>>98524184I mean, that's literally all you need. Your problem isn't mysteries, it's bad prep.

>>98515394>>98524074Even simpler than that would be to have a character who was flung into the future. Either magical means, Feywild time-fuckery, or getting petrified for centuries.That gives a similar explanation for how they might be clueless about a lot of parts of the world, but still have an inkling of the fundamentals. They'd lack any friends or support network, and would be culturally out of place.It also comes with a more concrete character motives than an isekai, where they could aim to return to the past, revive some long-dead loved ones, or otherwise just try and figure out what happened after they died.It also doesn't completely disconnect them with the setting, where there could be a villain or organization from the past that's continued to be a problem in the present.
>>98524074>>98524121Yes this works better. It's internally consistent with the planes or magic in general. Once you bring in the modern world things start to feel off.
>>98522605Maybe it'll be the Barbarian equivalent of the Sun Soul Monk?
>>98522396You just answered your own question. There’s really no in-universe difference between a high level PC and a high CR intelligent monster. A world with a ton of either or both would look and play very differently than how most D&D campaigns do. The more top heavy you make a setting the more entrenched it’s status quo is likely to be, the less notable things weaker characters can do, and for D&D the more high magic your world needs to be to be coherent. The number of reasonable plots for level 5 characters shrinks dramatically if there’s a level 16 every three days ride.>>98522430The fact there’s almost more heroes who qualify for domains than there is geography for domains isn’t really the point. The point is that the rules suggest a glut of high level characters and abundant magic then they don’t worldbuild to match that. It’s the problem of saying your setting is Third Age Middle Earth when its internal logic demands it be First Age Exalted.
>>98515394>>98524074I had an idea for a PC that would require a particular kind of game but that I thought would be fun. She was a human wizard named Zoralyssandra of Terra, Witch of the Third Rock from Sol, and dresses in a very side-of-van-art wizard way with a wide-brimmed hat and a robe covered in stars. She is the apprentice of Galaxivor Cosmorion the Star Wizard, one of the Great Wizards. Zoralyssandra is a scholar studying the world and its magical inhabitants while practicing the art of magic and doing errands for her master. Her real name is Zora Green, she's a thirty year old American astronaut who got flung across space by one of Galaxivor's experiments gone awry while doing a spacewalk. He promises to get her back promptly but in the mean-time has her running errands as his apprentice. I believe this is still isekai but I think I'm drawing from other sources than japanime.

>Magic classes get all healing and utility stuff, and damage>Physical classes get damageOkay, smart guy, what abilities do you give "thief" or "fighter" that are as broad and useful as what mages and clerics can do?
>>98523966the argument about cantrips just boils as to whether you want the wizard to pull out a crossbow or a crappy firebolt at low levelsthe only actually questionable thing about cantrips is that their auto-scaling damage makes level 1 spells obsolete after level 10, where the 2d10 fire bolt starts to outperform half your early spells for no costbut at level 10, you have enough level 2 spell slots to never have to worry about casting a level 1 againcantrips are not really something that drastically affects the wizard except for making their trash cleaning ability better, since they can firebolt weaker goblins awaybut this doesnt really tip their character in any mechanical way unless you really like 100-room slogs with no rests
>>98523966>>98523998There is one other consideration, which is utility. Being able to consistently conjure fire/acid/etc. can be quite helpful when it comes to trying to destroy certain objects when outside of a fight.There are ways to retain cantrips while addressing that, but as you said, it doesn't make a big difference for spellcasters at low levels to rely on a crossbow. And at higher levels, it's not like spellcasters are particularly weak and in need of the damage boost.
>>98520138>what abilities do you give "fighter"Kill stuffRun faster than anyoneLift more than anyoneFaster reflexes than anyoneSurvive anythingKill stuff harder and fasterCapable of satisfying even your extremely sexually jaded mother
>>98520138None. Not everyone needs to have similarly broad skillsets, and that is fine.
>>98521665>And most importantly make all these actions cheap and commonI also hate when things are videogamey, but I think an ideal system would be similar to 3.5e/pf1e's alternate combat actions (trip, disarm, charge, sunder, feint, etc) combined with a called shot system, and implemented in a way such that fighters can use them without centering their build around a single maneuver, but they are still unreliable for non-fighters. If it was just made very clear that these are all things which a good fighter should be expected to be able to attempt an unlimited number of times a day in the actual setting (not just as a rules abstraction), and which are not supernatural feats that use any metacurrency, the videogamey factors would mostly disappear as long as the game itself didn't blur the difference between magic and tricks that are possible IRL but very difficult when untrained (another example of failure to establish this difference is the many feats in 3.x which suddenly allow you to do something you should have already been able to do, rather than making you better at it).
