I really like chapter tactics as a fluffy way of fleshing out loyalist marines which is why I was taking AoD as the base. That and the strategic/tactical ploys fit loyal marines far better than the marks of chaos and their corresponding ploys IMO
Surely switching a sniper/heavy gunner and grenade launcher isn't too different from taking a flamer/melta/plasma and a rocket launcher right? The rocket launcher will be on 32mm but it'll have the heavy (reposition only) rule to match the legionary heavy gunner
My main concern is that siege specialists chapter tactic (This operative’s ranged weapons have the Saturate weapon rule. Whenever this operative is fighting or retaliating, enemy operatives cannot assist.) might be too strong with plasma/missile gunners but I could always change that tactic for the homebrew
Personally I'll be running flamer/missile launcher since I'm currently cleaning up mold lines on some second hand black reach marines

>firstborn bolt weapons having the same profiles as new and shiny primaris weapons
special ammunition, done. but if you think that would be an issue already you get into harsh trouble explaining why your dudes have smaller siluetts because that effects gameplay (also why a firstborn is as durable as a primaris. dependng on theme, black rage, forcefields, sons of vulkan, mechanical enhancement, bucklers or whatever)

>>97313693
First of all, those in my group that know the slightest amount of 40k fluff recognize primaris are gay and retarded so playing actually cool models with different silhouettes isn't going to be a problem
If someone does take issue I'd recommend not playing with them tbqh, and definitely not playing homebrew teams
Durability and weapons stats I'll handwave with relic weapons/armor (mk6/7 armor and boltguns having seen many decades if not centuries of service by the current timeline)
I feel that chapter specific stuff like sons of vulkan etc is covered by chapter tactics which is why I really wanted to use AoD as a base for the homebrew
As for stalker/bolt/auto bolt I'll leave it up to choice, with an aside that should be easy to tell what is what for your opponent and to try and make fluffy choices for your chapter

>>97313780
if they are fine with all that it should be fine that the stats are similar to primaris to begin with (especially becase there are no firstborn in the game to compare with) sooooo the question seems useless to begin with.

>>97314052
>sooooo the question seems useless to begin with
Silhouette and weapon technology are two different concerns
One is with game balance, the other fluff

i'm playing 5e for the first time at the end of the month
i want my elf to hail from a village that was wiped out by a fungal infection, forcing him to flee
i'd like his ultimate goal to be curing his village of the infection or at least learning how to prevent it from wiping out other towns
ideally, the cure should involve another type of fungus
anybody know of anything like this in the rules, or something that may be readily adapted to the scenario and solution as described?

>>97312997
In older editions they would be called Pseudo Magic Items, it's a little weird to get that many in act 1. But in the city it feels right, maybe a touch more fitting in Halruaa or Waterdeep but a major city like the Gate would have its fair share.

>>97313093
The gods doing shit in the realms is pretty common. They tend to be the active fuckups behind every major event in history. I have a campaign with a Karsite character where Karsus does show up just to remind her she's a failure for not being at his power level yet. I'm sure on some level he thinks he's helping. But he's also on the short bus of gods and can barely have paladins let alone do any major miracles.

>>97314019
When I DM I love it when players come up with ideas and motivations like this. However, not all DMs are made the same. It may just never matter depending on the campaign that’s planned. Have a chat with your DM about it.

An idea for the fungus could be the Yellow Musk Creeper https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Yellow_musk_creeper

>>97314019
Ask your DM about using the Ruined background without involving the deck of many things. It's very fitting for the scenario you want.
Your cure is going to be largely plot related, but making a ranger or a druid and leaning into the academic side to study fungus would be a great start. Best advice I can give is asking your DM about research societies in the world and letting them know your character will be very interested in consulting them. For the right kind of DM you've got a perfect hook that's giving you motivation to adventure and left them a lot of freedom to write in a story. For a DM who doesn't like that kind of thing you'll never find a single spore that can help. Talking with him and setting expectations for both parties is essential.

Obsessing over you too now? I suppose that's what the character your psychosis has created would do. Have you given him a name? How do you imagine he looks? Probably all your own worst features dialled up to eleven, no doubt.

>>97313741
Alright, I'll let him stay. He takes the bait every time anyway

>>97313892
Yup, you love 'baiting me' into verbally abusing you for a while, you like the attention since liamposting is a dry well at this point. All while you parrot insults back to me thinking you are clever, and/or are actually upsetting me somehow. I should call you a troon or a shitskin just to introduce it into your lexicon to prove my point. But I digress.
You are highly predictable in your obsessions, and you'll do exactly as I predict because you can't help yourself.

>>97313987
>I should call you a troon or a shitskin
Because you predict I'll call you it? Do you like being called a troon and a shitskin? I'm not going to make assumptions about things that aren't clear to me, but if you want me to call you those things, just say so and I will.

>>97314028
See, I knew you'd happily parrot any insult I lob you as you think you're clever for it.

yessir, ill give old school recommendations from my collection, 60s/70s/ mostly some 80s maybe
36th chamber of shaolin (my favorite) there's two sequels that are comedies that are decent
clan of the white lotus
drunken master
executioners from shaolin
fatal flying guillotines (top tier tournament movie with lots of wild styles)
five shaolin masters
five deadly venoms (theres an ok sequel but the "venom mob" are the actor and they worked together in dozens of films, searching them is a good way to find more movies)
heroes of the east aka shaolin challenges ninja (this is kung fu vs japanese martial arts vry fun movie)
invincible armour (peak stereotypical kung fu movie great fights)
invincible shaolin
raiders of the shaolin temple
mad monkey kung fu
magnificent butcher

THAT'S A LOT OF MOVIES!

>>97313926
Well, what sort of fantasy classes do you like to play? There can often be some overlap with the sci-fi classes and jobs. The EotE can get really specific, so it helps to figure out an archetype and then work from there.
And don't be afraid to fluff something beyond the rules.
I'm doing a current campaign with SW5e(I don't like it nearly as much as FFG) set in the Clone Wars and I'm playing the super basic Human Male Fighter per the rules, but I'm fluffing it as a Clone Trooper who shoots big guns and provides support for the rest of the party.
Despite the party having three Jedi, I end up having to tell them what to do half the time, despite trying to tell them that I am a Clone and will obey any order they give me, they just don't seem interested.
I keep asking the DM when Order 66 is coming.

>>97313925
Invest it in paying off debts, getting better gear, upgrading the ship or getting a better ship, getting a luxury ship upgrade*, insurance, setting up a retirement fund and house, buying a house for my PC's parents, buying a small fleet of murder/cargo loading droids, buying a large herd of GONK droids and letting them roam freely on my new retirement estate's grounds (that one led to a fun adventure). The sky's the limit, and the GM is incentivised to have the player spend AS MUCH as possible.
*https://swse.fandom.com/wiki/Luxury_Upgrade

>>97313973
I mean I'm the DM. I don't know what to throw at my players. "Go kill womp rats in the local cantina basement" sounds lame.

>>97313952
the lando dlc for star wars outlaws had a spaceliner casino that held the highest stake sabacc games around with a very ornate droid as the captain, not nearly to the scale as your droid, but its a bit funny the similarities official media would have down the road.

>>97313984
"You've been hired by a local crime lord to kill an Imperial Moff who refuses to turn a blind eye to said crime lord's dealings"
Now the party gets to decide what sort of morality it wants. Full murder hobo killing evil Imperials, or helping the Imperials enforce their evil lawful ways by helping them get rid of a crime lord.
Or get jobs from a mysterious contact (who may or may not be a part of the Rebel Alliance) to strike and destroy Imperial infrastructure or steal money or ships from the Empire.
Or stealing rare and valuable ancient artifacts from rich asshole who supports the Empire. Or from the local crime lord.

Just spitballing here. You can take a lot of fantasy adventures and just replace things like "king" with "planetary governor" and still have cliche'd adventures rescuing a princess.
The sky's not even the limit since there's also all that space out there to explore. Like having the party fly into an asteroid field to investigate an ancient derelict spaceship for anything valuable and/ or fighting off space pirates who want the loot for themselves or are just harassing local civilian traffic.

>>97314004
Heh, I might have to check that out.
It does remind my of the many times we'd be in a public place and the party members would say "act subtle so you don't attract attention" and I'd have to remind them that "I am seven feet tall, four feet wide, and painted bright red. I do not do 'subtle'"

>>97313589
No games is what you call it when you sit around with your fucking friends frotting your cocks and saying epic scripted lines. In my games characters are just vessels for the players to exore, interact with the world, and use cool abilities.

>>97313798
If it has good players who actually roleplay. With grognards and wallflowers, no.

>>97313546
Personally work with the player to make a more interesting character.
If that doesn't work, then let him play normally, but don't give him any special treatment either.
If he acts like a whiny bitch, then kick him from the group.

>>97313798
I've had my fair share of anime hijinks in games. What this guy >>97313910 says. It works when your players have enough IQ and active interest to actually engage with the fucking game, but not be so far up their own asses that they can't take a joke.

>>97313546
I feel like that issue should have been settled during character creation before the game starts.
Why approve a character you dislike?

>>97310417
You gotta storytime it fag.

>>97310417
You really can't expect us to help or relate without some context. I play with friends and friends of friends so it's almost never been an issue. The one time I had a game that was just fucking awful, I talked to the other players and GM about it, said I was having issues with how flakey people were while having the longest commute, and ended up leaving when nothing changed. It was a group ran by a friend of a friend and I have no regrets leaving

>>97258165
No. Getting bitches is not nearly as much work as becoming dark lord. It takes a lot of explaining why he doesn't just go and pick up chicks or become a rapist. Nor does being dark lord make you attractive.

One avenue could be that he was the horny bard trope and pissed off the wrong magic bitch. Then he got twice cursed to be ugly and an insatiable gooner. So he'd need to become powerful to break the curse and or supercede his looks with his status.

In D&D, Saint Kargoth the Betrayer is the first death knight, apparently he was created by Demogorgon. Looking at his 3e stats in Dungeon #150, he's slightly higher level than Soth with better stats.

>>97313965
I don't think Saint Kargoth got actual stats back then, but he was originally mentioned back in 1983 in Dragon #79, while I think Soth was first mentioned in 1985-1986.

58% chance to get a fireball for free isnt worth it? Forcing them to use their fated roll at minimum is worth that if you have another spell. With only a 1/36 chance of it blowing up. Ruby ring is good.

>>97313534
35 points from a character's magic item budget and locking off the rest of the enchanted items category is not free. It's a good item, don't get me wrong, but let's not get things twisted. A 58% chance (before dispels) to cast a spell that does 2d6 S4 AP0 hits isn't exactly stellar. A wizard hero has other items he needs to take (lore familiar + power scroll is mandatory for most armies) and a wizard lord typically also has other things he needs to buy to be functional (also the lore familiar, good lord why did they design the spell lores so poorly). You could take it on a non-wizard character, but that just makes the ring even worse. If you're not casting it every turn, you're wasting points.
