Repeat after me: MAKE. YOUR. POTIONS. IN. PILL. FORME!

Pills are ancient, they predate Egypt! We made pills better in medieval Europe by putting them inside purified nontoxic silver to boost power, we don't do that anymore because it's too expensive.

Whole reason why we take pills and don't drink medicine is because any medicine is just 0.1% active ingredients, putting it inside a pill is more efficient, making it a drink is wasteful.

Realistically in DND, if potions were real, they'd kill adventurers, all over the Adventures Guild you'd see newspapers like:
>SSS-rank barbarian killed in the Dungeon because drinking healpot takes too long!
>LVL 99 thief killed in the Dungeon because he choked on manapot... it went down the wrong hole!
>The Hero killed in the Dungeon because he tripped down stairs and broke all pots!

Potions? Not even once! Pills are the right way.

In this case, wouldn't a healing pill be more like giving someone a low level of fast healing or regeneration for a bit, good for smaller wounds so they don't build up?

>>97839878
That or a lingering effect that applies the healing after the damage is done, but it sure starts being more complicated than it needs to be, on the fluff side.

GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.
Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.

A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.

If you're wondering where to start:
- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.
- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.
- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.
- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.

TQ: what's your least favorite disadvantage for a player to take?

>parries have no penalty, but if you have brawling or karate you can parry with those skills at -1
No, normal weapon parries are at -2. Brawling and Karate parries are at -1.
Everything else seems to be correct.
Note that these rules seem OK for knives and tonfa, but are dubious for most other weapons. Swords are not balanced for use in one-handed reverse grips (should probably have a skill penalty, or increase ST) while spears shouldn't get reduced reach (one-handed spear use already assumes a large portion of the shaft behind the gripping hand) nor a bonus to deceptive attacks (if anything, a reversed grip with a spear makes your moves more obvious).

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere.

Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.

If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help:

It's still not good, it should be easier to disrupt a spell by chopping the caster in the face with a sword than by shooting him with an arrow, not harder, let alone impossible.

You also don't lose literally anything by making magic the last action phase.

As I understand it, any psyker could technically maintain consciousness and coherence in the warp after death as a soul and reincarnate themselves. The problem is that they don't really have access to a body, and, oh yeah, demons immediately start chewing on the nice soul that turned up in their hellscape and didn'thave the good sense to gutter out like most souls. Is that about the size of it?

At least Civilization will have prepared you for being worshiped.

Fixing heaven’s systems will be the hard part, but the angels should be able to help you with that. As for relations with the devils and fallen, god’s reincarnation showing up will result in tensions, but if you make it clear that you want peace things should calm down after a while.

God seems like a role that you grow in to. I think my jumper will probably lay low for a bit doing jumper things before she reveals who she is a reincarnation of.

>God seems like a role that you grow in to.
No doubt. It’d probably going to be near the end of the chain before you’re finally comfortable in the role.

>I think my jumper will probably lay low for a bit doing jumper things before she reveals who she is a reincarnation of.
A sensible idea, but remember that heaven has ways to detect god’s reincarnation. Your jumper might want to lay low, but they’ll probably have several angels at the door within a few hours.

Personally I like the kind who can't be fucked to deal with anything outside of his lair directly so sends a endless stream of bad guys and monster of the week threats because the throwing masses of evil meat at external problems worked totally fine until the heroes/players got involved.

Basically the only way to stop the threat for good is to confront him on his extremely well prepared home turf where he is at his strongest. So the heroes are forced to get stronger and do quests to prepare themselves for what would be certain doom if anyone else even thought about attempting it.

It's fun to play, it's fun to run, the stakes are clear and the long term objective is always looming in focus and the source of all the minor problems leading up to the final fight.

It can also be scaled to whatever campaign length you have to work with.
Basically Saturday cartoon villain plot structure.

Perhaps it is my own arrogance, my own bravado, that has brought us here, to this crossroads. The question is... where to go from here? We've spoken of fate, of prophecy. Have I traveled this road too long to turn back? Perhaps I have no choice but to continue on to the end...

[He bows his head, his shoulders sagging]

So many years I've raged against the living. All those years, and the distortion was in my own soul. No man can see the nature of his flaws with diseased eyes... the contradiction lies within me. I thank you... and I'm sorry. So very, very sorry. Perhaps some souls are born into death... they never knew how to live... Goodbye, traveler. My road ends here... I wish you luck on yours...

Welcome to /2eg/, a thread dedicated to all things 2nd Edition D&D related - including settings, lore, modules, and derived systems (Alternity, Buck Rogers XXVc, For Gold and Glory, Hackmaster, Myth and Magic, and more).

Since 2e draws heavily from earlier editions, older modules are welcome too. Other media derived from AD&D (such as Infinity Engine video games) also has a home here.

It's what you play, not how you play it. RAW or homebrew, as long as your table is having fun, there's no wrong way to play.

There's a surprisingly complete 2e fan wiki for rules stuff, it's excellent for quick reference:
