This might seem like a stupid question, but what's the point of a smaller nozzle on an airbrush? Is it just for smaller details? Or for putting paint on the same size just slower?
>>
>>97388331
How does it save you time? You have to scrape primer off, I don't. I save time, you don't. I don't see how it's easier to add bits either.

I called it rage bait as a joke, but it's because nothing you're saying seems to make sense.
>>
>>97388361
It's for detail. Slower is done by easing off the trigger a bit.
>>
>>97388361
Yes.
Quality airbrush with a ~0.2 nozzle, lower pressure, a flow improver, and you can do up to a hair thin detail work.

GURPS has both of those
you get a penalty to your skill when trying to use a non-C (C for close combat) weapon in C range. And you get a penalty (or just straight up can't do it) when trying to swing a big weapon in tight quarters.
I don't care to go rule by rule about the rest of your post but all of that you mention except for "edge alignment" is in the GURPS Basic Set.

Even 3.5 did something like that with Weapon Finesse and a lot of the weapons that can be used to attack with Dex also having on average higher crit chances and multipliers, especially if they are martial weapons.

I personally prefer GURPS but Daggerheart is perfectly fine, not my favorite but I see what it's trying to do and GURPS probably isnt very good at the heroic OC donut steal type game of Dh. At the end of the day the important thing is having friends to play with, and fun situations will arrise.

I do like how Daggerheart encourages roleplaying with it's help and experiences mechanics paired with the high TNs so you're always invoking teamwork and whatever makes your character unique.
GURPS mostly does it with its social and mental Traits forcing you via compulsion rolls.
So GURPS limits the possibility space, which makes it easier for some players who prefer analyzing options and interacting with the fiction as a puzzle of sorts. And Daggerheart encourages creatively inserting your character traits in every situation you can which is better for other types of players who like a more narrative approach where their characteristics and emotions are a more important drive than the fictional consistency.

>>97388081

Not really, this isn't like Battletech proper where to hit rolls of 10 or 11 can be pretty common. The average is around 8 or 9 and that's with skill 4 pilots. So as long as you don't roll a 1 for your pilot die you're still likely to get a lucky hit off somewhere. It's still better than the original where it's all or nothing.

This. The art is... fine, I guess. But it doesn't look to have anything to do with "Statis". It looks like the kind of art a beatnik would look at while drawing on a cigarette, calling it "Brilliant", while everyone around them thinks they are huffing their own farts just a bit too much.
>>
>>97387218
Like, at a glance what I think is "Balance" not "Stasis" since both of the abstract concepts (?) are in a scale. I wonder how did the artist came up with this concept and why, but it fails the purpose of indicating what the idea of the card was.

Depend on what scenarios were used. So let's say the scenarios with highest crew size at 9, you want 9 + 3 for a normal gang to account for fighters in recovery, and another 3 if you're cawdor. Early campaign you should focus on giving your guys better weapons and armors, and having leftover fund for medical escort.

Thanks. I'm going to challenge for a territory that gives me a free rogue doc next - I'll probably buy an underhive merchant after and get some discounted armour and gear. Already got a ganger with a bolter so spamming that would feel cheap, for now.

CoB anon here, wow... So no one has attuned to it yet, huh? Well assuming your DM has kept ANYTHING close to how the campaign is written, I guess. It'll be fun to hear the full details, or ask questions once you're finished.

Update on my game... I know you'll disapprove, but I am giving a few of the players a chance after having conversations with them. Monk just wants to punch bad guys, and has a drive to save her enslaved family. Barbarian insists he's going to talk more and be more open, and the Paladin has said they have sorted things out so they can be fully present during game time.

We shall see! I'll be very pissed if any of it was bullshit. I did get rid of the fucking former druid/Warlock player though, guy was an actual passive aggressive fuckhead.

Yeah we spent most of the previous session leveling up and discussing what to do with sword but also talking OOG stuff like what everyone did for new year n shit. Nobody knows (except DM) that Arrianne has 1 level of barbarian so errr...things are gonna become very funny if the sword falls into her hands and she becomes angy.

Replacing people SUCKS ASS, trying to make current players better will be easier. You have no idea how many times I've replaced one single fucking slot so far. As I said I will be incredibly cross with them if their habits haven't changed even a little bit.

>Also I expect the monk to punch them very, very hard. That and fall for the efreeti noble leading the cult's offer of a Wish to get her family back.

My friend who played the Wizard decides he'll give it another go after hearing about the talks I had with them, and that I got rid of the Warlock. He'll be the true litmus test.

Also holy shit these captchas are getting a bit silly.
