The DM reveals that all this time, the 'Chaotic Evil invading soldiers' you've been fighting and slaughtering were actually Lawful Good innocent untrained peasants. They were tricked/convinced into believing they were fighting for survival and defense of their impoverished homeland.

THE PALADIN FALLS AND LOSES ALL POWERS!!!

You just described warfare. If a holy warrior going to war causes him to fall that's just being a shit DM.

Per AD&D rules, shouldn't the paladin have fallen when he killed he first peasant, regardless of whether or not he knew the peasant's alignment?

You fall for the act itself, not your personal understanding of its circumstances.

Too long of a list to put in a 4chan post, but your Damage is tied to your Skill Ranks from a 1d2 to 1d12 (1-5) with some features allowing you to bump it up to 2d6 or in the case of most casters dropping down to a flat 1 damage. Weapons are more defined by their Tags, which include areas of effect, reach, magazine size, and so on as well as range modifiers and weapon type. Weapons do not have unique Damage of their own.

There is also the [Exotic X] Tag which has the X value be a Species in the game, meaning if you aren't of that Species you must have a 10 (max value) in the relevant Core Stat for that Weapon's Skill (i.e., a katana, used by the not!elves, requires 10 Might if you want to use it and you aren't a not!elf).

Spellcasters inherently suffer in terms of what kind of Armor or Weapons they can use; fullcasters cannot use armor at all (Armor adds modifiers to Defense Checks, as I hate static AC), and their Damage Tier with Weapons of all types drop 2 tiers, and 1 tier for spell damage (with the exception of the not!sorcerers, who are the dedicated blasters and ignore this reduction to spell damage). THere are also no free damage spells; all the Cantrips in the system are utility options in capable of causing harm. So, better carry a (sub-optimal) weapon so you won't be caught lacking when you run out of MP.

Gonna be running it some time probably early-mid 2026 once the game in that time slot now wraps up.

The game selection varies by store so unless you're ordering online I can't give you a straight answer. Their selection tends to be pretty big and the last time I went they had at least 5 games I had a strong positive impression of so I think you'll find something you like. If you really can't pick anything, post photos and we've give recommendations. Two words of caution: games for small children are a separate section from other games and in the main games section it's common for games to be hidden behind other games on the shelves.

Just 4 more days and I'll succeed at playing at least 1 game a day. Pretty good year average. Only bought 13 new games, but played 66 new ones; and without counting the light/filler/short games in the stats my top 10 played would be GWT, Barrage, FCM, Pax Ren, Pax H+, Western Legends, Horseless Carriage, GAH, Through the Ages and M&M; so really happy about it.

How was your 2025, anons?

It doesn't surprise me much when games based on an existing IP reuse art from that IP (Hearthstone/WoW; Star Wars; LotR; etc...) but it was strange seeing a generic fantasy game use existing art unrelated to any properties. My retard self would have assumed that obtaining the rights to reuse art from a famous artist would be more expensive than commissioning art from an unknown.

nta, but it worth mentioning that stuff like alchemist, item refiner, etc would also scale with cultivation, so between his lack of any cultivation and his lack of utility techniques to bolster those professions, he wouldn't really be capable of doing anything meaningful with those perks.

I believe a Cultivation technique is pretty mandatory, at least a common one. Without utility techniques, he won't be like the foremost expert in any field, as they have those, but he could certainly be good at them. He'd be more jack-of-all-trades considering how he goes for all professions.
>>
>>97254293
>I was under the impression it could be impressive without it but that makes sense
Nah, xianxia crafting tends to need you to be at least a little powerful yourself if you want to make powerful stuff. You can lower the requirements through enough GENIUS and enough resources but you still need to meet a minimum of strength to not cripple yourself/die just handling the ingredients for whatever you're making.
>>
>>97254324
I'm not really planning on him being the foremost expert at anything, I'm good leaving that to the heroes, he's just meant to be an extremely competent manipulator and sorcerer. But this works, I can swap some points around.

>>97254346
Fair. I have a pretty cursory understanding of Xianxia and most of it is from its seeds in Wuxia, but I can easily swap out some things for ~15 points of EVIL Techniques.

>>
>>97254313
No, you're asking the equivalent of "Why would anyone pay for a hotdog with relish on it when they could buy a hotdog and go home to put their own relish on it?"

Literally nothing stops people from doing the latter. Most just don't because it doesn't suit their circumstances, whether that's because they don't want to go home for said relish or they don't already own relish at home. It's just a matter of convenience vs necessity. Likewise, plenty of D&D newbies that would get a demon kpop hunter splat aren't going to have the system knowledge or patience to just homebrew it themselves, so they'd rather pay someone to sell them a kit to make it easier for them. That's the point of splats and sourcebooks in the first place.
