>>97250545
Depends. What do you want? I feel like super depend entirely on the era you want them set in. If you go to ancient times, simply look to ancient myths and stories. Anything around WW1 or Interwar has heroes as low key players, they are a hidden society element with many as detectives or heroes fighting the new emergence of technology/science.

You could definitely get enough heroes for enough operatives and commanders.

However, kotor games don't really feature anything heavier than some basic skimmers/heavy infantry. These armies would be severely lacking in any sort of vehicles.

You could probably get a coherent old republic/sith Empire faction if you splashed KOTOR and SWTOR together though.

Either way, one problem remains - these make 0 sense to be fighting against the OT/PT era factions.

I always considered Dooku to be on Revan's level, if only because of how many narrative parallels there are between them
>Prodigy. The best of their generation
>Learned from both the greatest Jedi and the greatest Sith of their era
>Extremely knowledgeable in the Force, always hungered to learn more
>Master duelists, again the best of their generation and legendary throughout time
>Left the Jedi for understandable reasons
>Attacked the Republic for understandable reasons
>Used extreme and immoral measures in said attack
>Despite their personal power, their greatest asset was actually their charisma and ability to lead
>Despite all this, they were still only A+, and were both killed by the actual most powerful Force users of their respective generations
Of course, these parallels only really apply to Darth Revan. Redeemed Revan probably gained a stronger connection to the Force when he turned from the dark side, though I still consider them about equal.
Exar Kun is a weirdo though. IIRC a lot of his most powerful moments were amplified by sorcery, technology, and artifacts. As a living Dark Jedi in a duel he probably wasn't all that impressive

>>97250529
This actually isn't a caster debate, being honest. At most it is "stupefied/Never Mind is stupid" debate, but a boss 3 levels higher than the party, even with Proficiency Without Level, will be able to land a crippling status or spell. Dude just got unlucky, sometimes it just happens. Mind you, a Witch and other casters have better Will scores than the martials and it is not something Bravery can shrug off, so literally EVERY other class would have gotten fucked by it.

There are stuff like Bottled Catharsis that can counteract it (granted, at Level 8 it would require a Crit Success but it has a decent chance of pulling that off) that requires no chance of failure here, so it very much a case of things just not going their way.

>>97248040
Enfeebled is definitely not much an issue but I would argue Clumsy is almost as equally devastating, even as early as Clumsy 2. Your frontliners being as squishy as your casters can very much be the start of a death spiral, there is a reason why they removed the Clumsy 1 from Barbarian's Rage. Plus Concealment is easy to apply. Still, yeah, I would say the Flat Check on spellcasting is a bit unnecessary, given how the status penalty to your spells already makes it nigh-impossible to contribute against a boss anymore.

>>97249144
I will play devil's advocate and argue that it does make sense to have classes that are "really good at a weapon". There should be a core difference between "guy with gun" and "I'm a trained soldier". Using 5e for example, the Fighting Styles mechanic is built around providing specialization and build ideas in a system that lacks smaller tweaks, thanks to the binary split in Simple/Martial weapons, and how limited the weapon pool actually is. 5e24 added the Masteries idea to provide more perks and make martial characters more standout. People WANT to feel like their specialization in how they bonk people matters. Legendary Attacks is how 2e handles it, for good and ill.

>>97250702
Addendum: It isn't to excuse shit like Weapon Legend or the stupid amount/kind of crit riders they kept adding for Fighters over casters or how weirdly designed Gunslinger/Operative is. It is more to say that if you don't want to have the real-ass feat taxes that stuff like Weapon Finesse > Weapon Expertise > Piranha Strikes/Vital Strikes and other feat-like bonuses to hit that 3.X/PF1e loved as your way to justify the "trained soldier" look, you do have to create some more intense or standout features. I think Legendary Attacks/scaling is a very valuable system idea and Gunslinger already shows it doesn't have to be overpowered or out-there to have someone that values weapons above all. Paizo just have weird ways of showing it.

>>97250702
>fail with a 15 on the dice
>for what is supposed to be a caster's best save
>just got unlucky
Come on, man. The math is just anti-fun bullshit.

>>97250767
DC32 is the high save for a Level 12 spellcaster. Both the level and the stat advantage here was against them. Even if they were something like a Cleric, best you gonna get there is +18 to the save (and auto-crit success), so 60%. I don't any real detail on what the full encounter was and it is technically correct to put such a solo fight in the game (if still a dick move on the GM's part), so there's not much you can say there other than unlucky. Sometimes you just get outclassed and left with a problem that lasts outside the encounter. That's just how d20 fantasy is.

Again, we can talk about how the stupefied condition can be tweaked or nerfed, but complaining about the raw math ain't really going to change anything here.

>>97250864

Elves come from Nordic culture, but in RPGs they tend to be based on Celtic myth. SAD!

The good thing is that it looks like the only handhelds that'd be useful on a LAM are disposable one shot ones or extra anti infantry options that can be ditched or picked back up when needed.

Mercury Lamp's robot dolls are the only items in the house that are more jealously guarded than the Amur leopard fur coat we just gave mom. Our doll who makes dolls constantly complains that they're "incomplete", "unfinished" and so on, exactly like your typical tortured artist or poète maudit from clan Toreador does when talking about their works.
I think she might put the first one on auction in the next 3-5 years given how fast robots, let alone AI, are advancing, but for the time being, she only sells traditional dolls.
>Women of culture I see.
The first time I saw a SIG MPX was about five years ago in Hong Kong. A cop had one and I immediately took a picture and sent it to Boy Toy for identification. He loves it too, even though it's not the most powerful or expensive weapon in our arsenal, he says it's one of the most fun. It's the same with my McLaren 750S when compared to the rest of the garage.

Speaking of our garage, Princess Charming confessed to me she wants to auction her Porsche 918 Spyder and get herself a Ferrari SF90 XX Spider. Knowing her, I bet she wants a grey one, like Grigio Titanio.
I don't think it's a terribly wise investment but she insists the Porsche is 11 years old and this was never about the money.

Why is three so important?

>>97249851
Full disclosure about three: no one knows. Catholicism and its various branches will point to religious connotations(father, son, and spirit), I have no idea about other religions. Mystics would emphasis that the action of doing things thrice is a certainty you're impressing upon reality. The more numerology inclined scholars could point to three being a "sacred" prime number though they would struggle to explain the sanctity. Bureaucracy's need for triplicate was for simplicity's sake; one for you, one for their on-site files, and one for the archive. One of the oldest recorded protections against the fairer folk came from the Norse and the Fairest were the only beings that warranted threefold protections out of all their enemies. As one can derive from these examples, and others if one researches, is that three allows for a fortification of form and function. You do things three times because you want it done strong, done right, and done forever.
Four has a similar effect though it seems to be more about empowering in an offensive connotation. You bless your bullets four times, in groups of four, and the ritual will make the damage twice as much no matter their size.

>>97249622
They're good at hiding amongst humans, better than other monsters. They're schemers, cursing their victims insteady of attacking them directly (mostly). For some reason they tend to stay away from places that are associated with order and rationality. Weaknesses?

Templates are just what I do. But I suppose there are multiple ways to go about it:
>mandate that everyone allot a certain amount of their starting points into their faction's traits and skills.
>charge an Unusual Background for permission to invest into faction-exclusive skills: 1 point per skill, 5 points per faction, or 10 points for a broad collective of related or allied factions, is probably fair. Feel free to adjust these costs, but anything over 20%-30% of starting points is probably overkill.
>simply rule that players can't put points into faction-exclusive skills until they find an appropriate NPC in-game who can train them, or a special training manual to allow self-study
>directly raise the cost per level of faction-exclusive skills. While I don't have direct experience with this method, I have played Dark Heresy 2E which does something similar through its Aptitude system, and I'll just say it was awful.

>>97250462
Damage is roughly correlated with the square root of kinetic energy. Moving twice as fast means four times as much kinetic energy, which means twice as much damage. Damage is roughly correlated with Striking ST, so that means roughly twice as much Striking ST as whatever you had before.

>>97250462
RAW, ATR doesn't improve damage, unless you're attempting a Slam. If you take twice as many Move maneuvers per turn, then that doubles your effective velocity for a Slam, which means double damage. Striking ST has no effect on Slam damage, only HP.

>>97250462
It's because you only put half as much power behind each blow to make it in time. ATR is about animation cancels, anon.
>>97246815
>they should be able to purchase the exact same hacking skill at a cheaper point cost.
No. GURPS suggests restricting skill acquisition depending on the game world. The training rules suggest that a teacher can only help a character raise his skill up to the teacher's relative skill, or to invest as many points as the teacher has in a skill. So only hackers from the hacker faction can raise Hacking to IQ+3 for example.
If you offer discounts some players will have more points to put elsewhere, which can absolutely unbalance PCs and seed discontent in the party.

>>97246815
>1) how to account for certain factions being better at certain subjects?
Access. Let's think in terms of C&C Generals.
US is better at Air Superiority not because they can buy Engineer (High-Performance Airplane) for cheap but because they have access to it at all. US has widespread education that allows engineers to be formed, and heavy investment in aerospace to make said engineers specializing in High-Performance Airplane worth it, not to mention more know-how and trade secrets (higher skill level).

Either you MUST do what they envisioned if they're the GM or you MUST let them do whatever the fuck they want if they're the player.
It also gets bad when the GM basically acts like a janitor thinking they got any power, like we're not all just playing a social game together but rather they are the leader of the group.

The worse though getting hung up on shit, like you say or do something that upsets them and they will seethe their entire life, literally just thinking about what you did until they can get back at you.

lexicanum paints an even more drastic connection than I was implying going by memory

>Khainite Shadowstalkers are Morathi's trusted assassins and saboteurs. Chosen from the Daughters of Khaine, each is branded with the shademark, a sorcerous pact that grants supernatural abilities while binding their souls to the Shadow Queen’s eternal servitude.

>Each Shadowstalker has been hand-picked by Morathi to receive the mircath, the ‘shademark’, a brand woven from Ulguan sorcery. Binding their soul eternally to Morathi's service, but it that allows them to wield the night as a weapon and to travel the Umbral Web, a pattern of shadow magic that connects each of the Eight Realms; they can slip past almost any barrier both physical and magical. However, travelling these dark paths causes them to be more pallid and wraith-like with every journey, quickening their demise until they are nothing more but a living shadow trapped inside the Umbral Web. Some even forge pacts with shadow daemons, becoming one with the darkness and bleeding abyssal nothingness when cut, and gain the power to command the shadows of their target to throttle their owner or stab them in the back with blades formed from their own shadow. While becoming a Shadowstalker is considered a great honour, it also allows Morathi to dispose of Khainites she considers a potential threat.

>Shadowstalkers are bound to Morathi more so than the rest of the cult of Khaine. Their position leaves little room for individuality among its member, leaving them isolated from the broader culture of the Sisterhood of Khaine. Despite this, the Khainite Shadowstalkers are the most devote of his followers, representing the peak of the khainite art of murder.
