The fail condition of feeblemind is brutal. it's as if you blinded a martial and gave him enfeebled and clumsy 4 on top of it.

Never Mind on the healer is hilarious. You force the party to witness several back to back attempts (which can last days) of Break Curse/Cleanse Affliction with a -4 on top of the check on a Failure. Very interactive, fun gameplay. 10/10 design.

Or just force retire the character if you have no settlement of the relevant level nearby on a Crit Fail.

>>97248065
And the "check" to get rid of it was on one of the affected stats.

Imagine if Enfeebled and Clumsy reduction were behind an Athletics/Acrobatics check respectively. With a previous 45% failure chance flat check before you can actually ROLL for the check.

Why the FUCK is his power armor broken? The Badab War was 100 years ago. This dude leads a legion-sized band of space marine pirates and is one of the wealthiest and most powerful space marine lords in the setting, on par with chapter masters of the first founding chapters.

I never followed anything he did.

Recently I was thinking about alternative combat systems.

I remember someone talking about instead of HP the payer has a Jenga tower and he needs to remove peaces once hit, the skill is to remove peaces without the tower collapsing


So I started thinking.
For example what if the combat somehow involves cups and balls?

Instead of a D20+modifier nonsense why not change it up? Why not give a player 10 balls or legos or whatever and to win an encounter the player needs to land 2 balls in 1 cup?

There can be variants of this like a super hard encounter demands the player lands all 10 balls or what about reducing the size of the cup with the difficulty of combat?

What if we implement a fate system from Talisman for the players? What if legendary bosses have something like that for themselves? And can negate the players victory?

What if different monsters use different "balls" like for example some bone golems will be you throwing legos into cups and zombies are aluminum balls while naga can be gummy bears? That actually makes the monster feel different and not a copy pasted set of numbers. Also the different aerodynamics of these "balls" are part of the fun.

Check out One More Quest. I haven't played it but it seems to have a similar silly tone and play style to the board game Dungeon Fighter (there's a bullseye board, you throw the dice and the results are better the closer it gets to the center. You also have various limitations on your throw depending on the skill you're using).
I also played Dread once and it's fun for horror one shots.

I know that I am shouting into the wind at this point however I continue.

Here is what I did come up with after some play testing.

Game is played with 2 cup and 1 ball (small aluminum one) however it be better to bring 5 or more of these balls.

Every enemy has a power rating and so does the PC.

For example lets say a expert warrior has a power level of 7 while a ogre is 9 so

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:

What are examples of kaiju-like monsters in first decade D&D? I'm thinking something less powerful than the tarrasque but more powerful than a Tyrannosaurus rex.

Nothing strictly first decade comes to my mind, but if you are willing to make an exception for Gygax (pbuh), you have "gargantuan apes" in WG6 Isle of the Ape, basically King Kong, and "gargantuas" in Oriental Adventures, which are essentially humanoid, insectoid, or reptilian kaiju. The Companion set also has a monster called gargantua, but it's just an algorithm to increasing a monster's size, HD to 8×. If I remember correctly, ACKS has better rules for scaling creatures up and down. Th Island of the Ape Gargantuan Apes have specific rules for their attacks acting like battering rams
