>>97220920don't know about the entire planet but I'm pretty sure GW said that Empire is about the size of the entire Europe
>>97224014I'm not sure that the case is with official maps, which make it about as big as Germany
Been working on a conversion
>>97220920>>97224014>>97224027They're never very consistent on the exact size of the world. The Empire is probably the best documented of the setting, but its actual size will vary. I've seen one common map listing the Empire as only about 500-600 miles from roughly Bögenhafen to the easternmost frinches of Ostermark, while this map of Hochland (a reproduction of an older) has the entirety of the Empire's smallest province be roughly 200 miles from one end to another.If we want the Empire to be of a "fun size" then I'd say about 2000 miles from the westernmost parts of Reikland to the ends of Ostermark would work the best. For the entire world? Four times as large would be four times the fun content.

With Ai you can plan your paint schemes easily :)
>>97222395Not covered in the 2004 Chapter Approved CSM codex FAQ, but I'd say no on account of being a monstrous creature rules wise, with the option of yes if you and your opponent aren't going to get shitty about it and can reasonably talk your way through rules disputes because a daemon prince surrounded by a retinue looks cool. I don't think it was ever done in a battle report if that helps.
Why does lichdom exist when you can just clone yourself in 5e?
>>97223626Because your clone living on isn't the same as your consciousness continuing.
>>97223626In addition to the continuity question >>97223655 poses which is quite difficult and generally costly to answer (which varies by edition, which is in-universe split between obtuse changes in how magic functions and versions of the spell), lichdom makes you a lot harder to put down in the first place, brings you back faster, for as many times as you can get away with for a single up-front cost, and actually "solves" aging fully.
>>97223626IDK about 5e, but in many of the earlier editions your soul adheres to your racial lifespan. Spells can stretch your lifespan a limited amount, slowing ageing or giving you the statistically unlikely but theoretically possible best lifespan while keeping you younger than you look - like a wizard looking ~50 from the ages of 50 to 140, then dying.But there was usually a limit in place that prevents you from attaining immortality while in possession of a mortal soul, which is why lichdom was appealing to some. You had to tap into some kind of necromantic bullshit to acquire eternal existence on the material plane, otherwise your soul would "wear out" and rejoin the cycle or whatnot.Clone spells combined with spells that diverted your soul into them if you died unexpectedly were great for staying YOUNG and for avoiding surprise deaths, but they couldn't make you immortal, just long-lived, iirc.
>>97223626You can clone and transfer conciousness into it, yes. That is what some do. But not all. Some prefer the even safer and more permanent version.
>>97223626Hehehe. Boner
I feel like this edition has alot of objectively bad things about it and is absolutely where the alot of worst qualities of current editions showed up. But I feel like I prefer playing this edition compared to a lot of previous editions and 10th edition. Its a weird transitional period where there's still a lot of the old units that haven't been legended yet while still having the fucking Primaris lot. Its strange but I don't feel like I'm missing out on much staying on this edition and playing with friends casually instead of going back to playing the current edition.
>>97217254I recall in 7th playing with Sisters of Battle. That I simply spammed Immolator with twin multi-melta, as much meltaguns dominions, flamer battle sisters and deeptriking seraphins with shred as I could, then fill up the rest with penitent engines.It worked surprising well against Necrons
9e was just 10e with more stupid bullshit to remember

>>97223748>What kind of other items could go into its slot? Is this just a must have or is there competition?Mechs are built out of parts and parts have "Slots". Slots are basically weapons slots which represent both Bulk and Hands necessary to wield. A one handed sword uses one slot, a two handed rifle uses two slots and a two handed heavy gatling gun uses 3 slots. You're basically using up one weapon slot (usually out of 5-6, with 2 of them being your two hands) as a shield instead of having an additional weapon (and you'll want to have weapon variety because there are no classes, and ammunition costs money)There are normal shields too and mechs have Shield Block and Quick Draw from the get-go, but you'll mostly want to spend your reaction with other much more useful thingsThe idea is that repairing the shield is less expensive than repairing the mech's HP, so it's a good option if the player doesn't have any interesting weapons left to pick and wants something to up their survivability without sacrificing action economy. I could also make variants that have more HP but cover less AC, or have more hardness but less HP.
>>97222622Most people treat Hell's Rebels as the "birth" of NuPaizo. The water broke with Wrath of the Righteous but that still had tons of edgy stuff like shit succubi, the Demon Lord of Lust sucking your dick, and an honest to god Redeemed Succubus that wants handholding and smooches.
>>97223264No fault to you, I imagine your campaign would be pretty cool. But you do remind me why I find attempts at "automating" the shield rules to be a bit a fools errand. I had similar thoughts way back at the playtest of 2e when I REALLY hated how shields work before someone explained why they were like that.When we start needing to add math on math, it does start to show why D&D5e just have it be a flat AC bonus, boring as it is to do such, and why PF2e makes sure you are USING the shield. At this point, I would argue you should either have something that let you Raise A Shield or gain Damage Resistance while doing something like, like Striding or Striking. Tie it into the "strategically turn their body" part. Anything to avoid making checking your AC more a pain.
>>97223733>avoid early 2E APS up to Abomination VaultsThat’s a shame, I kind of wanted to do Extinction Curse because of the circus theming.
>>97224207I can see where you're coming from. Yeah, having to remember that you have the passive shield and remembering what it's target AC instead of just having an AC bonus that's always on can be a bit crunchy. I think my players wouldn't mind it since our gameplay already has a bit of "we have a notepad on the side with important shit for us to not forget when playing" but I'll think about it for a bit
Magic should be rare, mysterious, superstitious. It should take time to use and be exhausting to cast When did fantasy magic and wizards turn in Avatar the Last Airbender shooting fire and lightning out their assholes?
>>97217677I agree, however i understand more people seem to like flashy magic. How i think of it is people like lovecraftian and hate lovecraft. They like the seeing what the giant monster can do, where people like you and i prefer to leave that part up to the imagination. I think gandalf is cooler when he isnt showing off all he can do, but most people would just rather have wizards that are more like superheros or anime characters. To each their own

Once you hit the strength requirements to reliably draw the bow, all that's left is hitting more precise.Technically there's complicated strain dynamics where at the lower edge of being able to draw the bow it's difficult to not tremble and surplus leads to growing endurance. And then you get the funkiness of adjustable draw-weight bows, which include the relatively simple Penobscot type in addition to the super-complicated compound designs.

Previous thread: >>97111514GURPS 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.Thread question: How often do you use an official GURPS setting?

>>97222451Reminds me of trying to adapt other magic systems like the Nasuverse’s. The main problem is that the system isn’t coherent in itself and you aren’t given the info properly.
>>97222185>wizards doesn't seem limited by FP/EPIn that case, give wizards a couple levels of Mana Enhancer so they get any FP spent on spells back every turn, letting them effectively cast most spells at will. Alternatively, give them Energy Reserve (Magic) [3/lvl] with Regeneration (Extreme; ER Only, +0%) [150]. Although, Energy Reserve (Magic; Fast Recharge, 10/sec., +500%) [18/lvl] without Regeneration might be cheaper if anyone plans to take 9 or fewer levels of ER.>learning individual spells seems very easyIf wizards can ignore spell/magery prerequisites, then that could be represented by a wildcard Charm perk that waives the prerequisites for whatever spells you feel should be easier to learn: Charm! [5].Of course, you might just forgo Magery entirely and build everything as a Power.
>>97222935While not a must-read, I personally found "I've Got a Great Idea" and "Fortunately, I Saw This Coming" to be useful articles from Pyramid #3/53. Alongside Power-Ups 5: Impulse Buys, I use these rules to represent abstract planning, so dumb players can pull shit out of their asses when they're stuck in a bind because they didn't take a second to think ahead and assumed that everything would work just like in a movie or video game.

>>97218740To this same argument, India (or the Archaeological Survey of India) is the reason why just about any element of discussion on the Indus Valley Civilization is repeatedly claimed to be the single most advanced amazing, fairy tale civilization as well as the oldest ever discovered in all human history. We are required to note how they were the first actual non-nomadic, indoor dwelling people to have existed on earth, while also stating that they were more advanced than even early 20th century modern nations. There was a concerted effort to ensure that any discovery made post 2001 leave mention that the cities Harappa and Mohenjo-daro were more sophisticated than any other pre-20th century city in the world, and without any factual evidence for the claim. It was a requirement by several individuals involved in the Archaeological Survey of India. which has only become significantly worse due to twenty years of hearsay and rumors.
