Surprise, surprise resist torture/drugs is also frequently slept on. Hitting your players with a nasty sleep bomb can easily turn the tide of any battle, or use 10 arrows alternatively.

You dissected the Kleaver correctly, I like to take my balance checks from the corebook, however there's a problem there:
Mono3, the Core 5K melee weapon is garbage, outside of niche case of Kleaver getting grabbed, or shot at (weapon falls immidiately when hit) you essentially get a better weapon than Mono 3 for 1/5th the price. I cannot believe that just the security that your weapon will not melt itself into the ground costs 4000 and a damage dice. Oh and a fire effect.
5K weapons are beyond street level, or rather at the top of it. Helix adds bonus 2d6, which is actually a 4d6 since armour is already done for. Cowboy adds 6d6 and a possibly double blast zone, Hurricane adds 5d6 minus the armour.
For some reason Perseus only add 4d6 and only after you done ambushing, must've been the possible cyberarm concealment or something, since I dont see any other reason for it to gain ROF2 after. So on and so forth, I dont recall anymore 5K weapons, maybe they were added later, maybe they didnt.
And with all that context take the Mono3, a regular ass damage VHMW, not even ROF2.
Only similar shit is the EMG which itself doesnt make sense, because it's a chemrail, as it uses standard ammo, but doesnt need recharge despite recharge rules being in the core just page from it. And yes, they're duplicated. which ignores SP 10 and below and is ROF1.
If it was a printing/editing error they'd probably fix it, as they already fixed pretty embarassing stuff. So my best guess is RTalds do really think that SP is THAT much more valuable than I do. Also LAJ is concalable RAW, available by vendits, so there's literally 0 reason for enemies to not always use it unless you shoot homeless people that is.

>>97357999
That's probably because the stories told in books work differently than the stories weaved through an RPG.
Cyberpunk is about high tech vs low life. In a book, you can get away with handwaving the former, but in an RPG, some people will want to play as people responsible for the technology part.

On the top of my head.
>Resist torture/drugs
due to electrocution, duh. Gang jazzler has what, like DV13? It's a 100eb (or 500, mind's foggy on that one) piece of chrome that additionally deals no damage, so it fits. Alternatively spend two charges to push the DV to 15.
>+2 to style
garbage IMO, unless you gate it behind "item counts as a piece of fashionware required to obtain +2 bonus from fashionware", or that it only add style if you somehow compose it into anime cosplay or something.
>move enemy by a single tie
so, bash them by 2 meters, sounds powerful, extremely niche but may come in with some funny MA combos idk.
Also if you're a GM what the fuck are you doing? do you really need a game mechanic to tell you that people are, in fact, capable of pushing other people?

Anyway, Anon I think that even basic EMP effect is helluva effective, since you're basically doing two attacks (microwaver and a VHMW), one of which has a guaranteed hit, and the second deals +1d6. Sounds like a 5K tier to me.

There's also one thing people really oftentimes sleep upon, you can make an item that, by the moment of it's fabrication is already tech upgraded.
Black chrome did this on more than a handfull of items, I dont recall RAW anymore items went that way, but it's quite possible. I havent played RED for like a year now.
>reverse engineering
Yeah, if you're curious, a tech upgrade can be invented, so, any of these instances where you get an item that is specifically said to be tech upgraded, you could quite easily compare it to basic item and make such tech upgrade, then apply it to a different item.
This also means that innately tech upgraded item cannot be further tech upgraded.

Its a card that wants a good early game with an endgame that only scales in the endgame. Building the deck is a nightmare when you realize that in order to get Max Speed the fastest is it turn 1 dork turn 2 this guy and hope to god they don't get blocked/removed. Even then, thats a lot of space in the deck dedicated to trying to unlock its coveted ability.
Pic rel is possibly the only playable Max Speed general due to the fact that you are packing 1 drops that then convert into card draw thanks to Coastal Piracy effects, the deck actually progresses with its plan as the game goes on.

While osmosisposting is a problem, getting a name wrong might well just be a case of remembering it wrong. At some point in these threads I remember getting unreasonably annoyed by someone repeatedly calling Salina something like Serina, but that anon appeared to still kmow the substance of the lore while getting the name wrong. Bigger problem than mistakes with names are people coming in with assumptions and expectations not based on anything in the books and then acting like the game's in the wrong for not matching those assumptions and expectations.

I'll be honest, while the Low Key thing is a tip-off, I'm pretty sure he's osmosisposting rather than having read the source material without being biased ahead of time because the way he described No Key is very reminiscent of the way I was wanking him in the threads to prove a point on mortal potential a few years ago. I thought it was just a mistake last thread because he hadn't done that yet.

I'm new to KT, I've assembled and painted a Kommando team and doing a Kasrkin team next and have a few noob questions if anyone cares to enlighten me.
a) are there ways to gain more CP per turn than the 1/2 you get automatically ?
b) Does the skill-at-arms for Kasrkins you can chose each turn costs CP ?
c) What is the point of the Throat-slittas rule ? I don't see the point of being able to charge from concealment since you could give an engage order then charge at the start of your activation anyways. Usecase might be obvious but I feel I'm missing something

>>97360953
>are there ways to gain more CP per turn than the 1/2 you get automatically ?
Yes, but it's team-dependent. If your team has no bonus CP abilities, you make do with the baseline.
>Does the skill-at-arms for Kasrkins you can chose each turn costs CP ?
Only strategy ploys and firefight ploys cost CP. Strategic gambits do not inherently do so.
>What is the point of the Throat-slittas rule ? I don't see the point of being able to charge from concealment since you could give an engage order then charge at the start of your activation anyways.
If you charge from concealment and stop in a position where you are then in cover, you'll end your activation concealed from other enemies. Helps you stay hidden and forces more enemies to come out to deal with the model.

>>97360953
the other anon answered pretty good but to c) i wanne add. if the enemy dies or runs away or you fight against arbites that can shoot into close combat, you are able to be shot and your guy still has the benefits of conceal in that case.

>>97361002
>>97361046
Thank you for the answers, the benefits of throatslittas was indeed obvious and it's seems kind of strong on paper now
How is the match up of Kasrkins vs Kommandos ? I plan to play with my wife and want to let her play the most "OP" team of the two to avoid discouraging her early

>>97361257
Kasrkin are in a pretty rough position, I still consider them the weakest team in the game despite the latest buffs. Their strength is in having a lot of special weapons but they also lack reliable ways to ensure those weapons get to fire and fire at enemies that are valuable. They sort of lack a frontline.
Against kommandos they're actually unusually badly set up by my reconning. They die in melee without being able to really fight back, the ranged specialists that orks do have will just delete them, and their regular guns are too weak to really hurt orks while their special weapons are too valuable to trade. They also have no answer to throat slittas and even when they do get an important shot off they can still get blocked by a good just a scratch at times.
It says a lot about kasrkin that the biggest buff the team has received was the addition of the (currently very overpowered) martyrs tac op. Now when they die in droves trying to take the objective, they can at least get points for it.

I haven't watched any limited coverage yet, but I had that exact fear once I started looking through the set with limited in mind. It seems like Kithkin and Goblins are going to require a lot of anchors in the deck to give you a fighting chance against the other tribes, and Elementals really want you to either pull a bunch of rares/mythics or at least be able to run a bunch of hybrid cards that cross paths with blue or red. Everything else looks either half-baked or mediocre compared to Elves and Merfolk.

What fascinates me is that green has only has a handful of options for colorfixing, with only red and blue getting one landcycling ability EACH, when the only 3+ color cards in the set are Abzan and Sultai, which means most decks probably won't be able to get 3+ off vivid at least half the time. Ironically, your best bet for vivid will probably be tokens made by monocolored cards since they always have their tribe's color identity.

I'm creating my own game
a combination between a card game and a skirmish miniature game

>>97358747
I haven't cared about MTG in the better part of a decade at this point, but from memory the competitive constructed rule of thumb with cards that cost >=4 is that they have to do at least one of several things to be viable:
- be resistant to removal (e.g. hexproof)
- does something useful the turn it hits the field (e.g. haste)
- do something useful even if removed (bloodbraid elf was the posterchild for this back in my time)
- wins the game on the spot if it sticks for a turn

This card does none of those, and thus probably sucks in competitive constructed. A 6/6 that can be chump blocked or removed by a wide range of removal isn't winning the game reliably, and its ability to generate card advantage requires that you already have gas in the tank in the form of other creatures in hand (and your opponent have no removal) which means that IMO it qualifies as a win-more card. I would expect that this would only see play if the lineup of high CMC finishers is so dogshit that any undercosted beefy body is competitive.

Also if you're the defending king always put your king in one of the two squares in front of his pawn when you can, when that's not possible, move it to the side to match his king's movement. You can do things different but when you've seconds on the clock you want simple rules. It's very painful to lose a clearly drawn k vs p ending.

At this point, I think the reverse psychology is starting to work on me and I'm starting to believe that the /tg/ poster might be someone who just hates this redditor and is making these threads so everyone hates the redditor too.

No way anyone can lack this much self awareness

>>97358773
Even in DnD, elves physically mature at ~20, same pace as humans. It's only that they're considered immature and childish by the elves who are centuries old and so in elven society, you're considered a child until you become a centenarian, and you're referred with your "child name" until that point.

20 year old elves are as physically and mentally mature as 20 year old humans.

>>97348472
STRICT TIME RECORDS MUST BE KEPT!

but yeah, if you're of the mindset where D&D is more like a novel or film, you can do a "6 months later..." transition, cool. although i might get annoyed if it's just for the sake of "now we're doing a WINTER adventure!" like the world's natural order is just a dial being flicked around at random.

The most anoying part is not just the armour design, is the absolutely lack of care for the SM concept, and the prostitution of the brand adding more and more slightly different marine types with overlapping roles.
Regular marines are the universal soldiers, they should be able to do almost everything in a decent way.
Now there are 3+ types of phobos plus original scouts. God knows how many different types of range marines all with the same gun like eldars, as many heavy and jetpack marines plus terminators.

I think the Primaspect Warrior approach is too deeply embedded to go away by this point but at least GW seems to be slowly reintroducing/refreshing the pre-Primaris elements of the army, I wouldn't be surprised if we see new Tactical and Devastator squads in the near-ish future. If those get updated the range will have everything you need to make an old-style Marine army with entirely new/current units.

I'm really not looking forwards to the Rhino chassis vehicles being inevitably squatted though, they look miles better than their Primaris replacements.

He should have turned the squirrel human

Bumpfag…

Couldn't follow the discussion anymore, so try to summarize my impression.

A Fantasy game is supposed to embrace the fantastical (things which do not follow logic, are not understandable or are not "logically" possible)

Magic is "supposed" to be fantastical but needs to be codified in order to make a playable game. Thats why so many people try -and fail- to make an obscure magic system. (Just use vancian magic)
Miracles / Warlock do not use magic per se, but let a fantastical beeing do the lifting
Engineers are not fantastical. It follows mathematic formulas. A grenade is perfectly mundane, even if it is functionally identical to wizzard casting fireball (do xd6 damage in a y tile radius)

Mystery/Supernatural as a genre plays in a mundane world but get's "disturbed" by the fantastical
If magic follows logic perfectly and is therefore "mundane" in that setting, we have magitech.

People playing a genre of game but bringing in elements from a different genre should stop beeing confused why no-one likes their setting.

Also dnd is crap and an unholy amalgomation of too many genres.

Well traditionally bows are hunting weapons. A druid of races with natural affinity for bows can use them. Crossbows were weapons of war. The metal restriction is/was for armor and shields. They were going for a theme.
