>>93254034>handicapped peopleokay fair concession.>Relative difference between God and mortal statsDiplomancy mind control isn't really supported in the fiction, it's just a bizarre quirk of badly written 3e skill mechanics. in-fiction, if you aren't using actual compulsion magic you can't just make people think what you want. Do I think the Elminster Mystra relationship is healthy? No. But do I think it was mind control/brainwashing, let alone of a 'handicapped' person? Also No.
>>93254168>Diplomancy mind control isn't really supported in the fictionThis is the one case where this makes sense though. A od being so good at a mundane skill that it becomes equal to magic is absolutely believable.
>>93254162>Beholder Mage Athasian DragonAthas must die so that the multiverse may live.
>>93254192Sure. But when she tried to pick up Manshoon, he laughed at her and told her to fuck herself. So, she definitely doesn't have mind-controlling-levels of cosmically good charm skills. to my knowledge there's no hint that Mystra fucks Khelben either, despite him being her chosen as well.I think the more likely explanation is that Elminster is just a masochistic simp for his booty calling flakey swinger dommy mommy.

The best avian races are those that are inspired by the Skeksis and other dark, evil birdmen. Dark, brooding, scheming creatures. This is just a fundamental fact of worldbuilding. You can argue with me if you want, but deep down you know that evil, shadowy birds have the best aesthetics, best personalities, and have the potential for great lore.
>>93240494>sample size of 1Whats your sample size?
>>93251772He means that the sample size for intelligent talking human-shaped life forms is just 1 species (with our cousin-species coming close in almost every way). He's still full of crap, I'm not saying that all intelligent life has to be human-shaped, I'm saying the opposite. Nature as we know it doesn't produce anthropomorphic animals. If nature produced another intelligent animal (in its own time and in its own way) then it would probably look nothing like a human. We don't tell stories about anthropomorphic animals because they're plausible, we tell stories about anthropomorphic animals because they're cool, and in most cases the explanation is some magical or metaphysical humanoid-element which was used to create multiple species in the game world (and not just natural selection or convergent evolution). What I'm saying is that bird-people with boobs make at least as much sense as bird-people without boobs.

>>93247579I guess in this case, I can give some numbers for damage output and for Damage Reduction and for the sake of clarity, I'm referring to it as as Armor Rating because I have a Dodge Rating.The idea is that damage is 1d6 to 1d10, and you have either enchanted +'s to add more base damage to it or your stats that add to it. So an average lvl 1 character would have 1d8+1 damage.The current Armor Rating values are:1 AR for Light Armor2-3 for Medium Armor4-5 for Heavy ArmorShields give +1 AR, or +2 if they are Tower Shields.However, the heavier the armor, the lower the Dodge Rating is by the same value starting at Medium Armor. Every character has a Base Dodge Rating of 7. So wearing Medium Armor can reduce your Dodge Rating from 7 to 5, and Heavy Armor can reduce it from 7 to 2 (shields don't count to this penalty). So in the case of a Heavy Armor user and Tower Shield, that would be 7 AR. If the 7 AR works are reducing all damage, then you have the Tankzard issue. However, if the AR acts as temporary HP, I can see how this would just give the Wizard increased survivability, especially because I want Spell Interruption to be a thing where if you deal lethal damage to a Spellcaster then their spell fizzles. If a Spellcaster wants a spell to go off, they should have their comrades helping protect them and giving them cover to get those big spells.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>93220396Same anon still working on the wealth system. I've simplified it a bit by dropping significance. Currently it's>Wealth level represented by die>Everything has a die cost>Your wealth >= cost you can afford it (maybe with a roll)>Your wealth < cost, you can't afford itMaking money is similar with>Your wealth <= treasure value, then it increases (maybe with a roll)>Your wealth > treasure, the treasure is too small to change your financesWhat's bothering me is someone who's broke with a d4 Wealth level and someone who's very well off with a d10 wealth level, increase by the same level if they find d12 worth of treasure. Something that turns a comfortable person rich also turns a broke person to just alright, which is really messing with my head.
>>93241598>giving the foreign variant it's own small addendum.I think putting all the variants in their own shared addendum is the answer. Thanks, anon. Continuing the theme of being overly verbose, does anyone have suggestions for how I can word this more succinctly? The idea is you can use the ability to say>hmm, I need a rope now but don't have one in my inventory. I'll spend this resource point to declare I actually bought one on the way here/there's one on the table right now/the guard I beat up had one/whateverThe wording gets weird towards the end because I want people to declare they bought/found a sword, for example, but not that they totally prepared for this werewolf by commissioning a silvered sword 2 weeks ago
Started fiddling with a little tableau builder thingy called Planet Cauldron, about witches travelling the cosmos to create more and more potent brews to fill a cauldron the size of a planet and awaken the thing inside it. Nothing too innovative about it, and nothing to go off in terms of mechanics yet since it'd all be in cards that I haven't made yet, but you can probably imagine the typical fare. Mostly just getting a second opinion on the theme of it before I bother going further, whether it feels too forced, too unfocused, etc. But otherwise, I'll happily take any other input if you can see something awful from the brief outline.

>>93251939The Tree of Life is my world map, but a map more through time instead of physical space. Yaldabaoth and his Archons are a race of powerful beings that lived in a colony ship with humanity. They crash landed onto a planet called Sojourn, where they each took different path to survive. Yaldabaoth's other half, Sophia, dies in the crash, which causes him to try and revive her. His attempt at trying to meld archon and human bodies and souls together to create a Nephilim ubermensch caused the Cataclysm, which created the monsters the players will interact with (chimeras, disembodied spirits, cancerous abominations, etc). The players will start in Malkut, only knowing the planet as a dead wasteland as consequence of the planet's history. They'll travel through time, witnessing formative events and attempt to change them to improve their timeline, but won't succeed without first integrating with their anima/animus as a rival time traveling faction. Reintegration is a big theme, as well as enlightenment. They'll never suspect the true nature of the curious metalsmith that is somehow present in each step of their journey.

I am developing a bell-curve system (3d8) and think rolling characters is fun because it allows for unexpected character strengths and weaknesses. Who cares if the party is slightly imbalanced? RPGs are not for tryharding. With such a wealth of options on what you can do, surely you can think of something to do with your character even if they are a tad underpowered statistically speaking.Nevertheless, he is a mainstay around the table and says building a character is the far superior mechanic because it leaves less room for disappointment. He is worried about the potential of other characters outshining his even on the things he is meant to be good at. Despite my wholehearted disagreement with this on principle, I am trying my best to be accomodating because I assume he is not the only player who sees things this way in case something comes out of this.If I were to provide a way for people who wish to do so to build their characters instead, what is the best way of accomplishing this, considering the bell curve is not flat? Values further away from the mean become less likely, meaning higher attribute values should cost more if there is a way to "buy" attribute points. Otherwise, that skews the balance in favor of his kind of playstyle too much. I don't mind if it's a little imbalanced, but that seems very strong unless I limit it somehow. For reference, my attribute modifiers range from -5 to +5. 0 if the dice roll 13-14, 1 for 15-16, 2 for 17-18, and so on. Because they're essentially about genetics, attributes are pretty much set for a characters lifespan. Skills and talents exist to provide modification post-creation.
>>93250770They're right, but it exists because of the expectation they'll be fucking munchkins.
>>93251586What is the target number for an average check? Average in the sense that "a normal roll under normal circumstances."I would like this system a lot better if you had a static target number, because as it is you have -/+ from situation, *and* variable target number, which just seems like clunky design to me.
>>93253736>Why waste them by being perfect every time when you can be flawed and overcome it?I think this is what you're misunderstanding. If you make a character that is bad at combat, and is forced to think creatively in combat to overcome that difficulty, that could be fun and rewarding. If you make a character who is kind of shit at everything, and can do nothing to overcome any difficulty, that feels shitty. The other thing in regards to minmaxing, is that unless your game is focused on a single activity, min/maxing isn't bad. People get pissed at min/maxers in 3.pf because the entire game is focused around combat, so a player who solely focuses on combat is going to be more mechanically useful that anyone else. If you have a player who totally specs into combat, as long as the only thing that you do isn't combat, it isn't a deal breaker. They get to be very good at one, focused thing (which doesn't go against your thematic desires at all) but are kind of crummy at the rest.
>>93253822>Why those values?That's what I'm asking.>As opposed to what?A higher or lower number. >Granularity. A higher number would offer more granularity.>-4 vs +4 narrows the gap between talent and lack of it.So the design goal is to have the party be majorly imbalanced or end up with characters that are severely underpowered. Not sure why you downplayed that in the OP, but now we're getting somewhere.My suggestion is to cut down on the extra rolls. If you care about that slim chance of somebody having a -5, then you should own it and make it statistically relevant. To add to this, simply make it so the 'pointbuy' starts every score at 13. A player can reduce a score by 1 point and put that point somewhere else. For example, they can drop their other six scores to 12 for a single 19. Statistically, that's going to be worse than just rolling, but it would allow someone to pick a few subpar stats for a single above average one. This encourages the players to actually roll and make cripples.
>>93253899>I would like this system a lot better if you had a static target number, because as it is you have -/+ from situation, *and* variable target number, which just seems like clunky design to me.That's fair. I should perhaps remove the X-factor and take it into account in the TN. I feel like static TN is a bit clunky for systems that neither roll under nor are as intuitive as d100

>>93251712So in terms of starting you off lower power, I've been thinking about this.You start with 1/3 the charms as in 3e or 1/2 of 2e.The flip side of that is that the charms are supposed to be more straightforward and powerful, and they did eliminate a lot of fiddly dice trick charms, but the stuff that remains is pretty clearly NOT packed into a smaller number of charms per effect right?Like you need a second charm effectively just to use an excelleny for defense.Not worrying about dice tricks helps, but I'm wondering how many charms before a PC feels about as confident as a 3e solar starts. 8? 10? A whole 15?Anyone here play both and have thoughts.
