They were tricked/convinced into believing they were fighting for survival and defense of their impoverished homeland.THE PALADIN FALLS AND LOSES ALL POWERS!!!Do you feel like a hero yet?
>>97252494Oh no. Anyway; we continue our ruinous march on their capitol. Turn their homeland to ashes!Also our Paladin is an anti-paladin / oathbreaker now? Neat.
>>97254743Yep. Gygax agreed, don't bother him about it.

>>97252494>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.Irrelevant, they were "invading", as you said>innocent untrained peasantsHow come we never noticed they are untrained? >They were tricked/convinced into believing they were fighting for survival and defense of their impoverished homeland.Their problem, not mine. They still invaded. Being guillable does not protect you from punishment.>THE PALADIN FALLS AND LOSES ALL POWERS!!!No, he doesnt.>Do you feel like a hero yet?Yes.
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?
>>97217677ok
>>97248672>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 DCsSet 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 10In 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 10.5No 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.

TTRPGs are a social game first and foremost. That means there's unspoken rules that vary from group-to-group, but a common one is "acceptable breaks from sensibility" in the name of game experience or table cohesion. It's the kind of thing that keeps the bitter rivalry between the Elf and the Dwarf largely to amusing banter and not outright PvP. It's an innate instinct: nobody likes to spoil the atmosphere, because that's a large part of the appeal of a good game (alongside the freedom).That being said, there are also times when the group's course of action is patently retarded and you can't meaningfully push back on it without feeling like you'd cause a big fight over nothing (and then feel obligated to keep comrades away from the consequences), or something a character cannot abide has to be "sanded over" somewhat, or you as the GM don't want to cultivate the feeling that you're antagonizing your players by hitting them over the head with "you murdered someone because it was convenient and didn't even take measures to cover your tracks" or whatever unhinged misadventure occurred because something about the player position of the table cause human beings to lose IQ. Have you ever had that feeling? I think I see enough greentexts to think it's common.
>>97258143This.>"I mean, you can do that but your character would know that telling the King to eat a dick would be very stupid and would get the whole party into trouble and ooc it'd be a fight you guys couldn't win realistically. Your characters would know that."Every time I do this everyone laughs says "haha let's do it, would be funny but nah haha let's be serious - my character does [normal non-retarded thing]"
>>97257905What do you mean? Nothing in your post is suffering.
>>97258134No, not if you play with idiots. There is nothing wrong with negative consequences. If the players aren't allowed to make mistakes, there's no reason for them to show up.

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? Which are your favorites?
>>97258000>you can't tell me an experienced mercenary or knight doesn't have a 100% hit chance (barring critical/automatic fails) against an opponent provided he's just trying to strike himAgainst a completely unresisting target, when he can use all-out-attack determined and telegraphic attack, virtually anyone (skill 8 or better) can reliably (98%+) land strikes against something the size of a human torso and a skilled (12+) fighter can do it two or even three times a second. Against a moving target which is actively defending, while you have to defend yourself, performance drops dramatically and failure to connect becomes quite common even after slowing attacks to once every couple of seconds as you use feints and evaluates to increase your odds of success.Sports fighters might 'land' maybe one blow every 5-10 seconds and they are highly skilled, usually only trying to connect lightly, and not fearing for their lives!
Can I get a QRD on how patron, duty, and rank work?Like say you are a detective a generic police department. In my head, this means that while on duty, you have access to: a gun, a badge, and a car, and you also have to investigate what your boss tells you to investigate.What combination of patron, duty and rank would give this in GURPS?
>>97258329Social Engineering: Pulling Rank has guidance for situations of this kind.
>>97258329An ordinary police detective's job is probably a Duty, because he could end up in a violent confrontation, but it isn't likely to be more than 'fairly often' (this would be a typical full-time job, which would also be nonhazardous, reducing its value to [0]). You might say that even a full-time detective only has a Duty which shows up 'quite rarely', since most of his job is routine and predictable.Anyone who is part of a law-enforcement organisation has police rank, but this can be Rank 0 [0]. A detective probably qualifies for higher than that, because he can issue orders to beat cops, administrators, and so on.Patron usually implies someone who has an actual personal connection to you, not just an employer. If you are a replaceable worker to your boss, you don't have a work-related patron. Cops tend to look after their own, so a detective could take his unit as a patron if they would collectively 'have his back' beyond what they are legally obliged to, but this isn't a sure thing.
>>97258415>>97258431Thanks, this helps a lot. I'll read through social engineering and see if I get it all.

>>97253903Even the most diehard AoS fans have accepted 4e is shit. Spearhead is generally the more popular or more well-liked version and that's less of a wargame and more of a board game.There were a lot of departures (retirements or otherwise) behind AoS's rules team that doesn't make me believe 5e will be any better. I'm fully expecting them to double down resources on spearhead instead.

>>97258560Doesn't work for different textures, like a metallic sheen, or dramatic lighting. You have to know how that shit *should* look to sell it.
>>97258569NTA, but it sounds like you are making excuses, anon. Go paint your minis.
>>97258451Giger did shit on his own because he was a perfectionist. He started making alternate versions of props that others were in charge of, because he didn't like how they looked and had to be told multiple times to focus on his own actual work instead.And neither Alien nor Aliens were low budget for the time. Both had a higher budget than A New Hope.
>>97258576I am painting them and I am trying to improve, but the ability to achieve the effect I'm going for still eludes me.

>>97248051The shocking truth is that acting like first-timer retards is the whole point. If you were paid to promote X thing, and some uninformed new potential customer happens to wander into your show at a random episode and is immediately hit with a confusing amount of rules and jargon, they're going to be scared off and your sponsor is going to be pissed that you lost them a new revenue source. They don't care to learn the rules of the game because they're instructed to explain the rules ad nauseam to catch up people who might be tuning in for the first or second time.

>>97252723could have =/= should have feel free to make your own threads, that's the idea otherwise check your spam box for your janny application
>>97256095Dreads 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>Have a powerful vehicle>But only use it for broken marines when it could be a force muiltiplier used by healthy marines.The only stupíd thing is making it a scout with no armor.
>>97256314yeah but>have a powerful and incredibly precious dreadnought chassis>shove some dead marine in it>now you have a dreadnought on top of your other marinesThe 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.
>>97256880this image is making me sick
In my games, high level wizards turn to stone.
>>97253558Yeah. But they use it either way due to the fact that it is power that is useful to them.They have to however conserve their powers and be careful while casting. Even then the curse of stone is still a thing and it simply very slowly affects them.

>>97258208What wargames do you prefer then? I'm in the rules-light model-agnostic camp, so the rampant games are good enough for me. I feel like they offer a decent mix of command friction, differentiation between units and meaningful decisions to keep me playing them.
