Or give a similar bonus to other things outside of combatAre my best options. The former should be fine because it's a game about getting tangled in the local affairs of wherever you end up at, and with the latter skills are freeform and give an equivalent bonus to the one you get from your weapon, but they can stack in theory so if you really wanted you could give yourself a combat background and stack it with the weapon bonus, but I suppose that's balanced by the fact you're specialising and giving up potential versatility elsewhere.
>>97384731>Mathematically it is very close to advantageDamn, you're right. I guess it's a clear case then.
>>97337136this is proving much more difficult of what I thoughttesting the game further, I've come to a sad and worrisome realization>COMBAT IS FUCKING BORINGit basically boils down to:>pay to attack>the attacker rolls dice equal to its Strength>the defender rolls dice eqaul to its Strength>5-6 cancels are successes>successes cancel other successes>uncancelled successes turn into damagemost of the time, a player attacks so nothing happensessentially wasting a turnComment too long.

Mage Slayer seems kind of useless in terms of the ability score increase but the Guarded Mind portion of it seems in line with what I want to do, and Spell Sniper does give me a stat I want and eliminates Disadvantage in certain situations.

>>97352106Gonna quibble here. Avatar is pretty blatantly 70s sci fi. It's got Gaia theory, wise and noble savage Indian aliens, eco- and corporate dystopia Earth, all hallmarks of late-70s science fiction. There was a reason why the first film was criticized as Dances with Wolves in space, the genre zeitgeist it was chasing had been out of public interest for 20 years when it was released.
>>97389341>It's got Gaia theoryReified Gaia theory; on Earth Gaia theory was posited as a way of thinking about the planet's biosphere as a whole, on Pandora not-Gaia is a literally real entity that resides in the network of the trees. But otherwise you're 100% correct, Cameron is a based 70s sci-fi enjoyer

>>97361714What more can you say about your character please?
>>97355136Anyone got any stories or experience running Tiny Supers? I was looking into running it, it looks like it strikes a nice balance between mechanics and powers without having massive lists detailing every power.
>>97373791>What more can you say about your character please?It was a superhero game, he was a space demigod with daddy issues that needed to take a short cut to another side of the galaxy through a parallel dimension, so without informing the group he went to a space colony's anti-matter core reactor and used it for his needs accidentally trapping the whole planet between planes of reality and making it look like he perished in the attempt, the rest of the group thought he died but in reality he went on an extra dimensional errant and came back later in the game.
>>97382056>It was a superhero gameWhat I meant is it's a "space superhero" game.

>>97389303There is no such clan. Take your propaganda elsewhere.
>>97389243Personally, I make most of my cockpits opposite in terms of light/dark rather than strict color theory. Bright cockpit on dark schemes, dark cockpits on bright schemes, sometimes contrasted or complementary, sometimes not.
>>97389337Clanfags don't actually play the game. It's all videogame secondaries or video essay lore "enthusiasts".
Is it true that LAMs can get around special ammunition restrictions for aerospace fighters?
>>97389243That's generally how I do it. Color theory use is a free skill increase.
Have any of you ran your players through the Theater Kid Wood Chipper? How many of them tried to stick something in Acererak's mouth?
>>97385128Theatertard seething at the call-out lmao cry some more nobody likes you
Wasnt Ravenloft, as a setting, basically created with a similar ethos?Just make it as insufferable and unfair as possible because the designers wanted to "make their players pay."
>>97386071You sound like an angry bitch
>>97388427Dunno how you came up with that. Ravenloft was created because Weis & Hickman wanted to do Gothic Horror stuff, and the setting was created because the original two modules did really well and 2e-TSR wanted money from setting lines.

>this is considered one of the worst magic arts of all timewhy do traditional gamers have such shit taste?
>>97387218Like, 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.
>>97387128think about it for more than 5 seconds

>>97386938What about that one that has literal gay men in a lake?
>>97388584that sounds basedFUCK women.
Is your character the type to hit on barmaids?
>>97386790Still no. Call me shy, but that's just crossing a line. The furthest I'd go is "my character flirts with her," but leave it at that. Either the next scene is a quick fade to black or we move on. Little time is spent on describing anything.
>>97386790I'd probably just rape her then. She's basically already consented by DMing for me.
>>97370628Do you get hit on a lot?
No, because she is the barmaid who developed sorcerous powers.
>>97337982No. His father was a philanderer and he's got a complex from it.

>>97353888>Only stupid Redditfags do thisNo, you stupid nogames, half of old fantasy settings did this back in the day. It was a very common idea in the 90s and earlier.
>>97388233That's not weebshit. The thread is about weebshit.
>>97388233In the game on your image, not once are these M&M scifi elements actually referenced.
>>97354749In the original "Q1 - Queen the Demonweb Pits" Lloth is faced inside a giant mechanical spider ship.>>97360797The Might and Magic series is actually built on that idea.

>>97385378You want more of that? Then you gotta go back to the well.Inspiration will come from authors like Grim, Baum, Tolkien, Lewis, Shelly and Stoker if you’re feeling a bit ambitious. As well as pulling from war stories, and not just WWII. You just can’t take inspiration from other Star Wars authors, otherwise it becomes a copy of a copy problem

Fire dragons emit fire.Ice dragons emit ice.But there are dragons which we do not speak of...>there are animals called dragons, which fly in the air, swim in water, walk on land; and sometimes when they travel through the air they are lustfully aroused and drop their sperm into wells and flowing waters. This causes a year of plague.From the Golden Legend, a medieval compendium of the lives of saints. Dragons appear often in it.
>dagger deals more damage than broadswordAt what point do you decide enough is enough and you won't respect a game that won't respect historically accurate weapons?
>>97388409yes you do. You think you don't but you do.
>>97388261Gurps has been picked to pieces countless. You are a special brand of autard who counts all of its well documented flaws a benefits. There is no need to timeloop on that shit again, because you are not receptive to the basic idea that you might have bad taste in games.
>>97382230I understood that reference.
>>97388443>the heroic OC donut steal type gameI didn't understand that reference.
>>97380116>GURPS>pretentiousThe ability of certain people to play a game that you're not smart enough to track isn't pretentiousness, but simple superiority.I played it with my buddies for almost a decade back in my twenties and had a blast until we made the mistake of bringing in a zoomer whose attention span couldn't hack it.
