I'll be real I don't know what you're talking about. I was just whining about how there are too many subclasses.

I'll try to answer. I think Archivist as imagined by 3.5 would work best as a unique class. It's a divine wizard, a seeker of knowledge, but divine not arcane.

>The archivist is a more academic profession than the cleric or paladin but hardier and more worldly than the average cloistered wizard.
To reflect this they get d6 hit dice instead of d4s, I suppose in 5e that would be d8s as wizards already get d6s. It doesn't translate 1:1

But clearly the wizard spell list wouldn't work so it couldn't be a wizard subclass.

They're not clerics. They do get medium armor in 3.5. But their spell list is too different. So is their primary stat. They are conceived of and clearly not a wisdom based class. They also have a spellbook rather than simply knowing all cleric spells.

Then we come to artificer. Would 3.5's archivist work as an artificer? Absolutely not. Ignoring subclasses the artificer is a tinkerer, they make magic items. They are simply too different.

I doubt I answered what you asked. I'm not even sure the subclass you made and the 3.5 class have anything to do with each other. I'm not convinced the 3.5 archivist would even fit that well into 5e's design philosophy as it's a product and most fun with the plethora of splatbooks. 5e's splatbooks are practically non-existent in comparison to 3.5

At least it has a well rounded range to start with with infantry, ranged infantry, cavalry, a cannon, a centerpiece, and a monster all with weapon options or dual builds. Not like ironjaws or fyreslayers which launched with one dimension rosters and no second wave.

It gives me a headache how homocorporatized /tg/ has become.
This is all poor quality crap that appeals to a non-existent demographic, is just ugly and overly-PC to normie newcomers and is really done because some English fags earnestly think 1984 has a good moral lesson about controlling all kinds of information and entertainment.

VtM also requires certain characters designed with certain requirements in mind, it just offers more options than WtA. While WtA asks the players to create characters for the Garou Nation, VtM asks the players to create characters for the Camarilla, Sabbat or Anarchs.

Unless the ST is intentionally providing a sandbox experience without any particular direction in mind, VtM players are absolutely required to create characters that fit the sect that the chronicle's going to revolve around, unless they want to end up get executed by the prince's scourge for violating the Traditions or executed by the bishop for heresy against Caine.

Speaking on starting a chronicle, how does this sound as a starting situation:

Due to an ongoing war with the Anarchs or Sabbat, the prince of the city loosened the rules on making new vamps for a period of time to gain an advantage. Now, peace has been attained, and they city cannot afford the extra mouths. Most of the young vamps are slain, but the PCs are taken aside and given the deal: the Prince owed their sires a favor, so they are spared. But the Camarilla cannot feed vampires who don't contribute, so the players are given a domain that has several problems; a serial killer and gang violence have a lot of uncontrolled police attention there, it's a border area that could be contested by outsiders, and a vampire who tried to stay neutral in the conflict is hiding somewhere in there. The players are given the impossible task to clean the area up. If the players fail, it's not skin of the princes nose and he's basically paid off some favors for free. If they succeed, he looks like a genius for seeing the potential in this ragtag group of neonates.

Does that sound like a decent framing device for something more sandboxey? I'd like something that is more player driven, but could function as an intro for players who know nothing about WoD.

You can get your players to play Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines as homework. No other splat has such an easy entrypoint.

I honestly don't care about the women thing (marines, yes, but that's more of a thematic thing. Keep the battle nuns and knight-monks as is, thanks) but I DO care about the faces. Enough to post, at least.
I actually liked the bald one. Sort of androgynous, especially with a shaved head. The sort of face I think Custodes should have, if you pushed me to create them.
The shield captain notEmpress - eh, GWs usual broken nose syndrome aside, the face puts me in mind of a certain type of middle aged, upper-middle-class Hyme Cynties matron. If you've watched any sort of British drama (especially crime), you've probably seen her, especially Agatha Christie sort of thing.
That one with the ponytail - I can't comment on the face because I can't see past the paint job. Yeesh. It looks like an action figure face, where it's OBVIOUSLY coloured smooth plastic. Definitely needed another pass. Or three.

So far not a single person has showed up to say, "I was wrong about Games Workshop soft-launching female Space Marines via the Space Marine Heads Upgrade sprue."

>I think the promo demidevi is a strictly better card than any of the other rookies
I'm not sure I agree. Getting a way to discard every turn seems nice but it completely undermines the functionality of the level 4s. Without the goblins' evo inheritable you don't get to swing with a level 4 and digivolve it twice up to Titamon in one go.

I'm not a fan of the Aquatic Titans for the same reason.

>>97382623
Deramon love!

>>97385409
going up to titamon with the lvl 4 is a bait
especially if you are playing dan and kanon which have end of turn attack, you evo into a 5 who on evo trashes and that goes into tita who lets you attack at end of turn with the alliance.

>>97385487
Or Dan+Kanan's end of turn attack can swing with your level 4 and digivolve it up into Titamon. Who cares if I give my opponent 4 extra memory for it if I hit my opponent for 3 checks on turn 2.

>>97385518
then you don't get the alliance if you attack with the 4, it misses timing....

Ah... that would have to be Mister Bear, that cute-as-a-button stuffed bear toy who was my shoulder to cry on and bodyguard for most of my mortal life.
After i was turned, i trudged through winter nights to return home and slaughter the swine. The catharsis of that moment called upon my beast, my frenzy, and my delusions and truths and I had no choice but to rip Mister Bear to shreds. Where stuffing should have been spewn I was met instead with eyes, the forever hateful penetrating eyes of my original sire.
RIP Mister Bear, the children loved you.

If you feel confident about getting involved in this mess, sure, we do. It is pretty dangerous, all around, while me and Halfie treat it as a joking matter, a powerful, major spirit, perhaps the patron of the caern, somehow manifested into the real world and tried to kill me, only to then send an absurdly empowered wolf after me. And I'm getting a feeling that both of those events weren't even it really trying to kill me, and, instead, some sort of strange game. Meaning, if you annoy the toucan or whatever else may be around, they may not be as playful with you as they are with us. I like you, and don't want you to get burned through getting invovled.
That, and we are technicallly speaking a rogue Tremere chantry, of sorts; not exactly officially traitors, or anything, but we never reconnected with the Pyramid after our sire got eaten, and last time somebody here wanted to play middleman for it, it didn't go well, so... You'd also be associating with the sort of crowd the Camarilla may dislike, if you come here.
That said, any aid rendered will be appreciated and well-compensated.

>>97379665
HalfSeeingEye says you're welcome. The candle she set for Boy Toy's billowing a little under no wind, but not going out, which is a somewhat auspicious sign, far as response from the powers of the caern tends to be.

>>97381054
Hm. There's a certain niche path of Thaumaturgy that permits its practicioner to make a target drunk, effectively. Works just fine on Kindred. Stands to reason you could probably find a Tremere out there who mastered the equivalent of that effect, but for the feeling of eating food, or the pleasure of satiation itself, so he could maybe hit you with it while you do in fact eat something physically? You ever try to look for a Tremere like that, or you just do the standard thing of being sad about not having borger?

Yes, but also no. D&D druids have very little relation to ancient Celtic Druids. They weren't "nature worshippers," but a hereditary class of priests/jurists/"white-collar" types.

I really don't see the connection the other anon is making with Muslim imams. Presumably the scimitar-thing is due to historical Druid's carrying sickles (because "hurr, curved blade!" I guess).

You'll be fine. You got the basics and can work as a good on-the-spot and downtime healer. The stat array is a bit weird but you got +4 on WIS and Heavy Armor will cover the middling DEX/Reflex so I'm not going to judge.

I'm running AV and I meant to increase the enemies to account for the extra people but I forgot and was lazy. Thank God I did.

So they ambushed this worm wizard dude, he's cr 6 to their 6 lv 8s. Easy fight, right.

It took a full 40 minutes for them to kill him. One guy who rolled low on initiative never got a turn.

Between them, rolling initiative, staying in stealth, moving, debating choices, talking amount themselves, asking me to look up stuff, it took forever.

Im debating about inputting turn timers because certain people who already took long are taking even longer.

>>97377517
AV is absolutely not a 6-man dungeon, not without significantly widening the halls. Even if you are lucky you rolled initiative, you better hope your frontliners' fatasses just don't block the only entranceway!
Though yeah, 6-man groups in general will require some patience.

Any advice for Ruffian Rogue grapple builds? I would love a way to reduce MAP between attacking and maneuvers or something.

>>97384586
Combat Grab is your go-to. It adds a grab as a rider effect on a successful second Strike, so you can Strike twice and get a free grab pretty reliably, without ever having to make an attack or Athletics check at your maximum MAP penalty. The two ways to get it are via the fighter archetype (which you can pretty easily qualify for as a ruffian) or the wrestler archetype. Fighter has the added bonus of allowing you to pick up Reactive Strike as early as level 4, which is super valuable.

When it comes to taking advantage of the grabbed condition, wrestler has access to Elbow Breaker and Strangle, which are both situational but not terrible ways to mess with opponents if they neglected to escape from your grab the previous turn. Fighter has Dazing Blow, which is incredible, but has two drawbacks: first, it doesn't become available until level 12, and second, it uses your fighter class DC, so the DC for them to avoid being stunned will always be a little easier than if you were a fighter. Still, it stuns even on a success, so it's a powerful option. Both archetypes have access to Snagging Strike, which is a generic free-hand opening Strike.

Also, since you're going a free-hand build (in order to take advantage of Combat Grab) and you're a rogue with a billion skill feats, it might be worth considering the Medic archetype. Every group needs downtime healing ]and you've got skills to spare, and Medic gets you some powerful, reliable healing (including self-heal) for combat--and you've got a free hand anyway.

In most of our campaigns we really don’t have downtime. But in the most recent he would either carouse, clean and maintain his sword, write letters.

>>97375833

You spend everything in record time and become a vagabond or a bandit before the next campaign. That's the common cycle of mercenary types. There's no side jobs when Guild fiercely monopolise the economy and you have to be a member of one to work.

>>97375833

In fact, the whole adventuring shizz is more of a side business for his dayjob.

>>97375833

In a world where magic exists but social mobility doesn't, the transition from slayer of dragons to highwayman is a very short walk.

The Skill Gap: An adventurer’s resume is "expert at killing things with a mace." Those skills aren't transferable to a peaceful village. If the Blacksmiths' Guild won't let you touch an anvil without a seven-year apprenticeship, and the Merchants' Guild controls the trade routes, you are effectively locked out of the "legit" economy.

Lifestyle Inflation: Adventurers are high-risk, high-reward contractors. Like lottery winners or modern-day professional athletes, they often lack the financial literacy to manage a sudden windfall of gold. They spend it on better gear, expensive healing potions, and celebratory feasts, assuming there’s always another dungeon.

The "Peace" Problem: If you're a mercenary and the war ends (or the monsters are cleared), you are no longer an asset, you are a liability. A group of bored, armed individuals with no income is a recipe for a bandit camp.

The only adventurers who escape this cycle are usually those who become or join an institution being granted a piece of farmland, knighthood and lands, a position in a church or a academy, or something of the style.

>>97375833
Funny enough I have a character who basically an apothecary as a side gig when he isn't adventuring. So most of his downtime is just crafting potions, teas, and healing and cooking herbs to sell or use for later.
