The Paladin has been POISONED! He will instantly die with no antidote. A Thief holds out the antidote and pours it all on the floor. 'Drink if you wanna live.'The Paladin gets on his knees and licks the floor. He's feeling better already. But when he tries to kill the Thief, he finds out he has fallen. He just lost all powers!Why did this happen? Simple. Honor is the soul of all Paladins with no exception. Without honor, there can be no Lawful Goodness.There's nothing more dishonorable than getting on your knees and licking the floor like every dog.That's the parable of the Paladin and the Thief. Remember it well.In Japan, there was once a poisoned Samurai in a similar situation. A Ninja poured the antidote on the floor. Do you know what the Samurai did? He stripped out of all armor, took his Daikatana, and did Harakiri right there. His last words? 'I will never lick the floor like a dog.'He died with great Honor and became legendary for it. Now THAT'S a Paladin!>But it's not honorable to die!Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Get the bushido out of your fucking ears. Samurai were just a class of brutal feudal thugs. The hyper-honorauble nonsense is a latter peacetime innovation to keep them at bay when their violent instincts were no longer needed.
>>97401429is the thief/ninja male or female in this scenario? there's a big difference
>>97403028>>97403346There's literally not enough antidote for that to happen. You have to lick it off the floor.
>>97401429Naw, you are describing PRIDE, not HONOUR. Samuri were prideful selfish cunts, more Lawful Evil than Lawful Good. A true Lawful Good Paladin is humble and selfless, he doesnt care about what others thinks of him, as serving and protecting those he has sworn to do is his main aim. a True Paladin would lick up the antidote so that he can continue to selflessly serve and protect those in need of it. Try to avoid the eastern stories as their selfishness seem to be confusing you about what true honour is. Read about the knights of the round table - Lancelot is one exanple, he rode in a cart (a shamefull thing for a knight) so that he could rescue his kidnapped queen. That's how you play Lawful Good Paladins, sefless and prideless sacrifice for others, not self obsessed narcasistic japanese nutjobs.
>>97406501100% this. A paladin would eat off the floor, sleep in a barn, walk instead of ride a horse, all that and more if it meant someone in greater need gets better treatment. To be Lawful Good is to relinquish the lavish and ostentatious willingly.

>>97406338You don't like Tzolkin or DI? What worker / dice placement games do you like?
>>97406346None of the dice games I own are dice placement games. It's not a mechanism I care for. Kingsburg was inoffensive? I wouldn't mind playing it again.The only worker placement games I've played recently that I liked were Targi and Bus. And Luna, if you take the gulag at it's word, but I don't consider Luna a worker placement game.I own Tzolk'in and I don't exactly hate it but I never want to take it off the shelf. It's kind of a chore to play.I don't own Dunc but I have a friend who loves it so I end up playing it pretty often. I have yet to play a game of it that didn't feel at least one turn too long. On the other hand, there's so few rounds that it barely feels like a deck builder.
>>97403492>I remember the debate about the die in Anachrony and we had to home rule it to remove the die.That die is scaffolding to hold part of the gameplay up and the game suffers without it. It's in the game so that people who are slightly behind on the race for the current super project aren't incentivized to give up on it and do other things.
Which RFTG expansion(s) are worth getting? I have checked the google and the gulag but I want to hear it straight from the horse’s arse

>>97406213There are multiple ways. One is to be an attention whore, if you foment a culture that encourages nobility to constantly praise you, they won't have time to plot against you. You can also consistently side with another social class that supports you and use them as a hammer against the nobility. You can have a secret police or spy force that it is loyal to you, and you alone. You can use parallel hierarchies, for example the church to reinforce your authority and by pass noble authority etc. In the end, it is a game of divide and conquer.
>>97406213A monarch who is broke is always beholden to someone. The most successful monarchs were those who secured independent revenue (like crown lands, colonial trade, or direct taxation) so they didn't have to ask the nobles for money every time they wanted to go to war.
>>97406238Can a monarchy do ALL of the above? To keep an Imperial Cult to legitimize their rule, maintain a secret police to hunt anyone who commits lese-majeste, and maintain a group of otherwise disenfranchised loyalists that owe their position to the King and can balance the noble houses? >>97406248In other words, a monopoly on the means of wealth. Land, minerals (like iron or salt), and maybe even commerce.Am I right?

>gameplayFor Centaurs, you should be able to use them as mounts when not in combat if they're lightly armed & armored. I think you could ride into battle with them and fight on their back without overburdening them, depending on your loadout. Squeezing into dungeons and caves might be a bit of a bitch, and your centaur companion may find themselves too cumbersome to accompany you in certain locations. If people in wheelchairs can make do, I'm sure a transmog potion or a shrinking potion might solve the problem.>fantasy settingsThey're more at home here for sure, like having a horse. Some taverns may give you a hard "no" for your centaur companion, but I'm sure regions that are steeped in centaur culture or adjacent ones have accommodations for their unique anatomy. If nothing else, they could help carry your camp supplies and other provisions. >loadouts for fantasyIf you're not riding them, I think they can be pretty well armed and armored- think tower shield and a mace/flail. They also make good spearmen, so I think they'd be comfortable wielding a halbard and similar pike-style weapons. This would be with them wearing plate mail cuirass for the human portion and chainmail curtain over their horse hind quarters, or perhaps some specially fitted Gambeson. Other plate sections could be fitted to their horse body as needed. Archery and crossbows seem like they'd work for ranged options. I've not considered them using magic, but having a fairly mobile spellcaster seems cool as well.

Any advice? They're all new to playing D&D as well as well so I'm hoping to fake it til I make it.
>>97403276This is the true answer. Most people are happy enough to play that if you put in some effort to figure out what you're doing they'll probably be happy.
>>97398534>I've lied to my friend groupSee, you might not have DM experience, but you've already figured out the fundamentals.
>>97398534You really can fake it til you make it. >>97398560 is great advice. Most DMs suck because they didn't have their material ready in advance, and premade modules fix that real quick. LMoP is nice and simple, which is good because players complicate shit really fast. Just have the maps ready, the tokens in place, and all the monster sheets on hand, and you'll be better than a solid 90% of people who have ever DMed so long as you don't modify anything. Don't worry about it being too easy, as players love thinking they were good enough to make it easy and don't know anything about encounter design. Trust me, no one is going to question your experience when they're all too busy thinking about what the fuck their PC even is or what they can do. If anyone does actually question why something is the way it is, just say "that's what's in the book" and they will believe you 100% of the time.In short: Phandelver it up and just play everything straight. You got this OP.
So how long should a boss fight take exactly? The last test took 80 minutes but that could be shaved down by not needing to reference rules as muchIn this case every turn a d4 determines how many more skeletons get summoned unless they realize the orb in his hand is the source of that annoyance and get it away from him
>>97406276Fight time lengths are hard to predict, although more enemies, PC's having long lists of powers and players at the table all definitely compound time. How much time a player will take to talk/think/strategize on each new turn is a wildly variable thing own its own, especially for beginners. I would say a big fight like a boss fight takes the better part of an hour at minimum, and if you actually ONLY spent 40 minutes (from introducing, fighting and concluding that boss fight) that would be uncommon. Make sure you describe the Boss orb as glowing/sparking during the summoning as a hint! and if they don't catch on and start struggling, let them roll intelligence or something to put the pieces together.
