>>96485213>But always using 2 attributes mean he would average 5/10, so more as a dump stat:He'd only average 5 on anything Dex related. But the point is more to have a character that's going to be choosing a non-Dex option whenever possible, and would be the worst at Dex.And the examples there aren't exactly inspiring confidence. I assume Vit+Agi would be for dodging a trap, since it covers both avoiding and enduring. Triggering a trap intentionally is something that doesn't even seem like it should be much of a check. But it's also a bad example since Dex is still so useful in disarming traps.And he does have Cha+Int or Cha+Vit for persuasion/intimidation, or options like Vit+Agility to be physically mobile. But if that's the handful of examples that spring to mind, it really highlights the problem where unless you're doing social stuff, Dex is basically always ending up as the better option than everything else. And I think it'd be possible to split up some of this with Agility in order to reduce Dex's dominance, but I think that requires a more clear delineation. there isn't a clear distinction for Agi+Cha and Dex+Cha in terms of what they'd mean for conversation. I think what might work is to shift it to Device or Tinker, where Dex is instead shifted to be specifically about fine motor skills involving complex objects. That still leaves some things like crafting or disarming traps, but Dex might only be useful for crossbows, rather than a wider range of weapons. Awa+Vit could be bows, and Vit+Agi could be melee options. It also makes Agi the more clear option for fast-talk or lying, while Device+Cha might instead be forging letters or playing instruments. It lets you siphon away enough nimble/skillful tasks from Agi to avoid it becoming dominant, but helps avoid Dex being the same by narrowing its scope.
>>96487129>But the point is more to have a character that's going to be choosing a non-Dex option whenever possibleThat's why I rephrased it to reach that intent, If he is "maxed out" in the rest, he can't suffer a low combination.>I assume Vit+Agi would be for dodging a trap, since it covers both avoiding and enduring.If I keep AGI along DEX, yes. But as discussed, they overlap too much.>Triggering a trap intentionally is something that doesn't even seem like it should be much of a checkUnless your INT+AWA check tell you exactly what the trap does and it has a safe way to trigger it, you might kill yourself in the process. the obvious trap was to distract you from the real trap.>it really highlights the problem where unless you're doing social stuff, DEX is basically always ending up as the better option than everything else.Yes, a common problem, DEX is usually the safe bet.>I think what might work is to shift it to Device or Tinker, where Dex is instead shifted to be specifically about fine motor skills involving complex objects.The way I read that was fusing DEX into AGI and making a "Device/Tinkering" attribute.Maybe a word for proefficiency with tools/magic? Siphoning even weapons out of "great motor skills".It also siphon Charisma combination but there was already too many. Martial art would become VIT+AGI, weapon VIT/AGI+tools, trap disarm INT+tools, most talk based manipulation CHA+INT, unless physical then CHA+AGI, also resulting in archery being Tools+AWA. and having CHA+tools for instrument reminded me Red bard from Thunderbolt FantasyThat actually sound great if I find better than TOOls.
>>96488262>Maybe a word for proefficiency with tools/magic? Siphoning even weapons out of "great motor skills".Yeah, that was the rough idea there, where rather than being quite as broad as dexterity, it is more focused on tools and tinkering. And that sort of tinkering skill wouldn't really help when it comes to something basic like a mace, but works fine with crossbows or complex magical weapon gizmos.And then it leaves AGI available for the more physically intensive aspects of speed and movement, and also makes it more distinct in terms of which rolls should be assigned which.The name is a hurdle there though. Tool sounds a bit off compared to the other stats.Technical might work. Shortens to TEC. No matter what it would still need to to clarify the scope of the stat with the players, since it would be a more unusual one.
I wanted to make a game system that makes HP, magic, and any action really all one stat. Just call it energy.Throw a punch, cast a spell, get hit..all would take some HP. It was supposed to use proportions of the energy used to determine intensity. So much like you might up cast a spell using a higher spell slot for more effect you could dump more energy into a spell for more effect.The net effect was to have players think more strategically about when to unleash powerful spells and all of that.Would probably work better for a tabletop for like dragon ball Z but could be adaptable for anything else really.I was never sure how I would apply stats. Maybe something that would modify how much energy was used for actions.
>>96465923The speed vs. strength meme has probably been the most disasterous idea to ever exist. Not only that, making dex and attacking stat as if swinging your sword like a limp-wristed fop versus being a -IQ brute makes a difference.
I know I'm already flirting with cringe because the whole Batman/Joker thing has been played out for like a decade now but I've been kicking around the idea of a Demiplane of Dread for D&D loosely based on Gotham (But probably more Victorian), Batman and Joker. Before you roll your eyes too hard, I've been kicking around the idea that the Not-Batman is a Straud-esque Dread Lord of the Plane. Why would a hero be a dread lord? Because he actively subjects the world the horrifying freaks of the domain by refusing to do anything to stop them permanently. He's well aware of the death and destruction, and he likes to wax poetic about the virtue of not killing, but there are inhabitants of this domain who have been almost murdered multiple times and have entire graveyards full of family members because he passively let them die. He will actively fight people trying to end villains harder than the villains themselves because they justify his existence.
The point of dread lords is that they are trapped in a world where they are permanently about to get their heart's desire but are denied over and over again. Depending on the edition it's possible for them to free themselves if they accept they'll never get what they want and abandon the desire that made them who they are. Stradh isn't the one punishing the people, he's the one being punished.
>>96477511>Killing someone and a newborn baby>because you someone called you a cuck>not monstrous
>>96490027>permanently about to get their heart's desireHow's that work for Soth? Or Azalin Rex? Any of the other Dark Lords? Or one who earns a domain without having any such "heart's desires?"
>>96490027>Stradh isn't the one punishing the people, he's the one being punished.what is this remark responding to
>>96490123>what is this remark responding toThat OP's take puts the weight of the punishment on not batman doing what he doesn't like about Batman while not adressing how is he having the worst time there.>>96490112I don't know, I don't know that much. I guess I'm wrong if that's not the case.
The spicier the better. I'll start to get the ball rolling: MTG, DnD and Warhammer are actually good for the hobby. They get new people started in this hobby and they keep the trend chasers contained and away from the rest of the hobby.Appealing to the normie masses is a necessary evil in order to keep what you love afloat. Even if it comes with the negative baggage of doing so.Generals are good for /tg/.
>>96487291While monetizing everything can go and often does go too far, it's not wrong for people making these niche games to want to make a buck by doing something they enjoy.There's no one-size-fits-all way to play or run RPGs, and trying to find one is folly. Narrative.heavy storygames and lethal dungein crawls are both obviously real and tre RPGs, they're both fine as long as they fit a given group's tastes, and spending time and energy arguing about what real RPGs are about is silly. Not literally everything is political even in the current year. If you're the first one that starts talking about politics in a given discussion, then the problem isn't the other side making you think about politics, it's you.
>>96488817If your point of posting that pic was to show you are retarded nogames you succeeded.
Changing the dice your RPG uses doesn't make it better than D&D.
>>96487291>generals are good for /tg/This is common knowledge though. They mitigate the amount of slide threads are made and keep the autism mostly contained. This place would be worse without them.

>>96488336>Bear lore isn't actually all that ridiculous, not every race is native to places with bears.It's even less ridiculous than that, because the checks are largely about Cave Bears and Dire Bears, both being monstrous versions. The DC 15 check lets you know that Cave Bears have Darkvision, and the DC 20 check tells you about how Dire Bears have a grab attack that deals automatic damage on subsequent turns. Something the Cave Bear notably lacks.>>96488487Similar case for the crocs really. Guessing that a croc will bite you with its big mouth is one thing. Knowing that the jaws are designed to trap you and keep you there rather than just ripping off a chunk of flesh is more detailed knowledge. And even in the example you pointed to, it's a DC 15 check to know that about crocs. That's a 25% chance for a random commoner to have that info, which certainly isn't bad. And ultimately I'd rather the designers at least try to put DCs to various aspects of monster knowledge near the statblock, rather than the DM just having to make it up on the fly.
>>96489891>at least try to put DCs to various aspects of monster knowledge near the statblock...like they did in 4E?

>>96488668>and whore-erlol, stealing that
Keep the bases as they were for a nice statue base aesthetic or give the bases some life? I was really digging the Greek statue style but a fully painted monster/survivor seems a bit off. I am undecided. Also a world devoid of color and life might not translate well I dont think. I've got black sand I might use for the bases but not really sure what to do.
