Because at one point the wargame encouraged your dumb ass to make your own chaos but chaosier kitbash, with new setups like GW actively discouraging kitbashing it means GW has no reason to write that stuff. It's telling because the fluff he's complaining about is like 20+ years old. The nu-lore would exist purely to complement a product launch.

>Because at one point the wargame encouraged your dumb ass to make your own chaos but chaosier kitbash
Custom armies are fun to talk about but implementing them in an actual game is another story. If I wanted to make a custom army based on aliens from the ghoul stars, I would not only need a reasonably fair set of rules for them but I would also need other players to recognize and agree to those rules. It's a hell of a lot easier to do that if it comes straight from the company's mouth.

OK, how about this: the Ghoul Stars are home to C'Tan loyalist Necrons. Maybe they got sick of all the infighting and sheer stupidity their people descended into after they got free and decided they liked being mindless enforcers for evil gods better. Or maybe they don't even realize the revolt happened and either got put in stasis early before the other ones revolted or their data is just so corrupted they forgot they don't work for the C'Tan anymore. They've managed to collect a bunch of shards to try to fix their gods, but considering how screwed up their brains are they can't put them back together right, assuming it's even possible, and the shards have turned into some big, horrifying mass of HP Love-crap that does unspeakable things to anyone that gets too close.

That would work as a predecessor to a dreadnought. It would be the piloted frame that a techmarine would install the life support system keeping a crippled marine alive so he could continue fighting as a dreadnought. Someone just completely forgot that the dreadnought frames are pretty much lost tech when that was designed.

Dreads still serve their purpose as a way for marines to keep fighting as zombies.
The idea of using the frame to empower a still very abled marine isn't that farfetched at all and in fact way easier than hooking a brain to command it.
If the vehicle is destroyed you might still get a full marine still ready to fight.

This makes sense from a military perspective

yeah but

>shove some dead marine in it
>now you have a dreadnought on top of your other marines
The other problem is the removal of a neat grimdark concept, your marines are led to believe it's a great honor to be encased in a dreadnought but the loss of humanity is just horrible. That's also why boxnaughts are superior, they're weird clunky machines without knees or even arms, like the bag of organs piloting it.

Every store that stocked up on this product was absolutely forced to sell at a legitimate loss, we're talking buying boxes for $35-ish and selling for $10 less. Cracking open the boxes to sell the few valuable cards in them would be more profitable.

>Exactly 0% of Combat professionals will miss a shot at point blank range against a target that's standing still. Meanwhile every single D&D character will fail to hit a straw dummy with a stick 5% of the time.
NTA but you don't roll an attack to hit a dummy. You don't roll for things that don't have a reasonable chance of failure or success. It's right there in the DMG. Probably in the PHB too and nowhere is it implied that hitting a stationary inanimate object has any chance of failure unless we are taking into account extreme range or low visibility. Even if such conditions exist in the scenario of a shooting range with no distractions you can just use the take 10 rule. I would, and if that wasn't enough I would call for a roll or a take 20 depending on the situation.
>Take 10 is only possible if you are not distracted.
Yes. Because if you are distracted you can fail, spectacularly even, in things that you wouldn't otherwise. This isn't strange or peculiar. A short distraction can turn your every day drive to work to a fatal car accident. It happens.
>Yes they are, they are even given explicit DCs
Set DCs don't necessarily imply rolls.
>There are also instances like walking across a 2x4 that the average level 1 commoner can't beat even if they take 10
In 3.5? I don't think so. They will have to have a dexterity score lower than 10 and there is no RAW to achieve that on average.

>>97248672
>Yes it is, the average is 10.5
No it isn't, the average is around 13. With either 4d6 drop the lowest(PHB) or point-buy(DMG). Of course if you are using point-buy the average score is meaningless.

Magick is such a silly word. Magic IS a game of punking. Magick is just another way of saying “it’s capital-m Magic!”, lol. No different from saying “no it’s a miracle not magic!”, or “no it’s nature not magic!”, etc, as though the ancients didn’t see the two (nature and magic/religion) as these inseparable fields. The words change but the essences stay the same. The modern day wizard is just the mad scientist, doing arcane things.

Yes both in my top 10, though I'd obviously play marine at 4. Only do normal DS at events due to how long it takes.

Similar game with vertical action selection and area control would be empires:age of discovery. Criminally underrated game which has always gone down amazingly well with tense agonising final actions. Currently out of print but there's potential for a new kickstarter (albeit with horrific new art style)

And then of ALL the shit that just sits on p500 doing nothing, GMT pulls THAT one and send them to another publisher.

Merchant that can rent out fine furniture and garments for cheap. Handy for down on their luck nobles to keep up the appearance or to impress an important guest.

>If you're aiming for maximum believability, there's almost no way that humans would accept a different species ruling them. They struggle enough with humans of different nationalities ruling them (William of Normandy had to practically burn down England before they stopped revolting at the idea of a Norman King).

I will clarify that the half-elven (as in humans with significant elven ancestry) and halfling nobles are mostly ruling over other half-elves/halflings, or areas that have integrated for centuries at this point.

By definition, as described under "unarmed attacks" bites count as unarmed attacks, so they qualify for the powerful fist ability.

"Certain ancestry feats, class features, and spells give access to special, more powerful unarmed attacks. For instance, goblins with the razortooth heritage can attack with their sharp jaws."

Draconic Acolyte isn't really Disciple. It's pretty clear that Dragonblooded is where you go for all the "be a dragon" feats like Scaly Hide and claws. Acolyte is more like a Final Fantasy Summoner or Lyria from Granblue, more about calling a dragon spirit and using that. It's cool but I rather have a real Disciple remaster over needing to take an heritage slot.

Casters have worse saves all around, many martials actually have better Will saves and some will even have evasion on them before casters are at 3 expert saves. On top of Stupefied not actually doing anything to most martials, every other class would not have gotten fucked by it. Enfeebled is a joke for most classes. Clumsy is equally as bad for casters as for most martials just because they are already at worse AC, so putting them lower is asking to be crit on a sub 10 number. They're probably also making a lot of the same reflex saves just because spell range is pretty bad overall. Drained is equally bad for everyone and definitely the strongest of these four, but also the rarest. So, this actually is a caster debate when casters are more likely to get hit with these effects, and suffering more from them.

As someone who casts Befuddle a lot, you fuck over enemy casters with it way more than you do anything else. And this is acknowledging that you can absolutely dumpster an enemy's Will save with it.
