What is the difference meaningfully between Monk 'wuxia' behaviour, fighter enhanced ability scores and rogue skills?
It's mostly the monk I'm, and what you mean by wargame abilities on the fighter, that I'm struggling to understand.

>What is the difference meaningfully between Monk 'wuxia' behaviour, fighter enhanced ability scores and rogue skills?
Lists of increasingly-wonky techniques on the Monk versus throwing big numbers into "default" rules until things get wonky on the Fighter versus using an actual skill subsystem that bundles functions into areas of proficiency that get wonky when you're That Good with the Rogue.

"Weaboo Fightan Magic" is an old pejorative for the Tome of Battle supplement for 3.5, back-porting a later-abandoned 4e prototype into a subsystem with classes substituting for the Fighter, Monk, and Paladin. It has stuff like covering your sword with a jet of flames for extra damage and reach at 3rd level, generally once per encounter due to the refresh mechanics but being 3.5 there are naturally shenanigans to loop.

>and what you mean by wargame abilities on the fighter
Before WotC got the IP, it was expected that higher-level characters eventually got positions of political power lording over increasing numbers of class-appropriate NPCs, which grounded the scope-creep of enemies surmounted in actual setting influence which in turn compensated for the proactive value of spellcasting by letting the Fighter send dudes to get things done in a number of places simultaneously because the casters became bosses of a lot less dudes. In the earliest versions, this directly cited the wargame preceding D&D called Chainmail for resolving combats with dozens to hundreds of participants.

I enjoy seeing the realm expand too. Problem is it was left on "vague" setting for so long we have some of our own lore to fill the gaps that might be contradictory to official lore and that bums me out sometimes.

Both the CC and DC deployed chemical/bio weapons in specific incidents during the 4th succession war and I think war of 39. One was definitely on Wei, and the other was something involving the sword of light using special paint on their mechs and wading through a reservoir that a davion unit stationed in a city was somehow all drinking from.

There's only one realm that's played any significant role in the campaign so far and it's currently in a 3 or 4 way civil war between
>The anointed emperor, in an alliance with the new class of bourgeoisie burghers, fighting to wrestle power back from regency council/parliament and reestablish absolutist monarchy, complete with his family's long-standing tradition of demon-worship.
>The conservative nobles, who thought they'd firmly secured power during the emperor's minority and are now fighting to bring him back under the thumb of parliament.
>The revolutionaries, determined that power should be in the hands of the common people (or at least themselves, as appropriate representatives of tehe common people). They're also broadly determined that the emperor, the nobility and anyone without sufficient revolutionary zeal should be sacrificed to demons, not because they're worshiping the demons of course, the demons are just useful tools.
>The northern duke, currently in broad alignment with the rest of the nobility but from a culturally distinct polity and clearly tempted to either secede or conquer the entire empire for himself.

Why'd you feel the need to try and continue a short four-post discussion that was already over?

yeah i think instead of doing prep for my game on saturday im going to work on my unrelated homebrew instead.

even if somehow using the physical stat was better mathematically than using the mental stat, it would still be stupid. It's not about balance, but about a system that models things in a consistent way

NTA, but would you really want to swing around your weapon in melee unless you're in Bladesong to begin with? 5.24e Bladesinger heavily incentivizes you to max your INT ASAP and have at least a 16 DEX for passive AC. You can use a Longsword or Battleaxe or Warhammer, no problem, while in Bladeson,g and that's when you'd want to use it anyway.

Anyone here done Imperium Maledictum solo? I did some wrath and glory, but I dislike the D6 dice system. I know about the Fantasy Flight RPG material, I own it all digitally, but that's a BIG investment of time and effort that seems at odds with some solo fun.

If your players don't go hard in the paint, it can work, especially if you modulate battles towards their strengths.
>>97284845
I gently disagree, as I believe the wealth of options at all times was a boon for players who wanted to have meaningful impact outside 'I hit the dude'.
I've brought in almost a dozen new players to the hobby with 4e, and I have found that it is fairly easy to understand, has depth, and forges good habits of mindfulness and paying attention to the battle when the spotlight isn't directly on you.
One of my cherished memories was running a game for some teens at my LGS, and the fighter being the star because she just ran around protecting everyone, forcing a chokepoint and battering the attacking spider demons.
The look on her face when the party was cheering her on, watching the group fall in together like a well oiled engine, supporting each other, that is what this hobby really is about for me.
That was more than 10 years ago. I wonder what they are doing now?

>>97236120
Of course 4e is going through a rennaissance. Compared to the monster that is 5e, 4e is very GM friendly to the point where a guy who hates making preps can actually run a decent campaign.

>>97284665
I'm a big 4e fan and an Essentials hater but I'd still rather run pure Essentials than 3e or 5e. Its hated because of how boring its classes are compared to the base game, how unbalanced its classes are even compared to each other and the fact that it throttled books 4e fans actually wanted in the crib like the rest of the X Power 2 books and the Nentir Vale lore book. It then caused a sales crash which killed the edition, exactly what Mearls wanted when he started Essentials.

The Monster Vaults, Rules Compendium, adventures and equipment book would have been 10/10 if they weren't formatted like shit. I wish it had run long enough for Monster Vault 2 to redux MM2 like how MV1 was a 95% redux of MM1 with the better math and more options.

>>97284845
It's not valid when it breaks the game's curve in an attempt to be different from AEDU. The Essentials classes that aren't worthless dogshit are either still AEDU or are broken as fuck early on and degrade into dogshit later. This is bad when the entire point of 4E was to get away from the Fighter solely hitting things with a stick and sucking at high levels.

So, with 4e being in a small renaissance, I'm thinking I should run my group through a short campaign and see how well they enjoy it. I'm thankful my group isn't diehard 3e/5e only morons since we do play other systems (Call of Cthulhu, The One Ring, and FFG Star Wars for instance) but I need a good hook. I'm thinking of setting the game in the Nentir Vale and cribbing ideas from various adventures, namely I think I will pull from Lost Mines of Phandelver to be sort of the lead in for the overall adventure before connecting it to the D&D Encounters Seasons 8-12. Think it would work?

I honestly fucking hate Danji as a character. So much fucking wasted potential and hia development fucking sucks. He starts off as this cool big brother type with a hidden backstory and mysterious motivations. But the more you learn, thr worse it gets. He ends up being a shitty person with little actual substance or justification for his terrible behavior. He's just annoying now.

>That he did not instantly explode in a burst of murderous frenzy is a fact that measures his horror, which paralyzed him where he stood. A civilized man in his position would have sought doubtful refuge in the conclusion that he was insane; it did not occur to the Cimmerian to doubt his senses. He knew he was face to face
with a demon of the Elder World, and the realization robbed him of all his faculties except sight

>>97281870
Civilized people think they have everything figured out so when something crazy appears before them it goes against that they think they know. The Savage know that they don't know a lot so when something insane appears before them they see it for what it is.

>But as written, you're saying that never ever ever did both sides just get within firing range and shoot over and over.
>Which is of course just ridiculous.
NAYRT but that would be an oddity. For a start, if in open terrain how would you get a unit to stand through it? One would break before long, which was the whole point. Units needed to move to hold together in combat. Either towards or away, in general.
It's certainly the case in rough terrain (or around fortifications) two sides could end up enmeshed and repelling each other by fire to prevent a close to bayonets. In that case it's less the case that they formed firing lines against each other and more the case that you'd end up with slow wheeling maneuvers to seek flanks and lots of skirmishing. Situations which might be resolved by cavalry or artillery.

What if instead of requiring a % of population dying the sword is just powered up by human souls consumed? Then your players have to actively decide if it's worth it to personally slay innocents to power the sword enough to fight demons.

That's a horrible way to write a story. Organic and believable conflicts are far more compelling than "we made God a retard so you could hate him"

It's the plot of a hentai game, anon. It presents the "hero vs demon king" dichotomy solely for Rance to rip on the concept via his own method of saving humanity outside of genocide (read:kicking the chosen hero in the balls and then punching the demon king in the face with his own team until they come back to their senses, temporarily halting the entire system in its tracks until a more permanent end can be found). But I'm definitely not going to stand up and defend it for what it is, basically a rip on the general concept meant to basically be Alicesoft's version of the Problem of Evil in its own stupid, anime logic way.
