So I tend to run high-powered games with lots of homebrew and shenanigans going on in PF1e/D&D3.5e/d20 systems/etc. and I've used plenty of optional rulesets and such and tend to allow copious (some would even say insane) amounts of 3pp and alt content as long as I have a chance to review it first and it seems like it'd fit. Among other things I have used the Mythic rules for some of my games and overall I do find some of the content rather overboard even for my games. I have also granted players customized extras (that occasionally scale) before, once I called them "atavisms".I am trying to design an "add-on" system that's a bit more regular for my games instead of the random campaign specific stuff I've done for people. I'm just not entirely sure what to call this though and I was hoping you lot might have some interesting suggestions (barring making up my own word ofc).Thus far some name ideas include> atavisms> blessings> boons> awakenings (there is a 3pp system for these)> gifts> modifications/mods> templates> splats (WoD reference)> sides (eating lol)Comment too long.

>>97372311Heirloom. I always start my players off with a minor magic item that makes sense for their backstory. I let them homebrew it too if they can justify it and it's not too strong
>>97372311Inheritance. Could be a physical item, could be something genetic or bloodline related, could even be magical or divine power passed down via ritual or gods' gofts
>>97373967I actually tried to do something like that once before but noone seemed really interested in the idea when it was minimal and mostly RP focused unfortunately.>>97374529They're more like innate boons I suppose, but they can be items.>>97374560I'm specifically trying to avoid generic terms like "gift">>97374673Cute pic, though most of those terms don't seem to fit very well as they're mostly all physical item exclusive.>>97375041Some form of "bequeath" might prove interesting.Comment too long.

>>97390209Hell, I don't even post my models when talking about nice topics or complimenting people because I don't want people to think I'm being patronizing or something like that.I also just don't post models ever because I never actually sit down and paint anything. So there's that as well.

Blue menace creature
>>97390014No, because copiable values include when a copy effect has "except it has" such effects. Copiable values are mostly intuitive except when you're copying copies is the main thing.
>>97390172Not QUITE a first, but the first since Ice Age.
>>97390183And, well, better menace has existed on mono-Blue before. It's functionally 'worse unblockable' so it's technically something Blue CAN do, it just feels wrong.

I found Asymmetric Warfare but it seems a little small in scale. Is there bigger stuff?
>>97388860Bigger stuff of what?
>>97387443How's the new edition of Conquest First Blood looking? I've always liked the aesthetic and sculpts for Conquest but I hate the idea of rank and flank on 38mm scale with about ten different models, it's just a little silly. Seems like First Blood fixes that problem for me.

>>97389576They'll be showing off the new rules in February. But historically, First Blood has always lagged significantly behind Last Argument in terms of resources and attention from both the company and the community. While I'm hopeful the new version is decent and turns things around for First Blood, I'm not holding my breath until I see the actual rules.
I'm looking for duelist / flintlock-wielding girls who'd fit into a Warhammer Fantasy RPG. Sadly, it's really hard to any that don't look too anime.

>>97387179Most long serving Chaos agents figure out they basically got scammed by mutant psychic wizards but don't have any outs. It's like many real life cults.
But this makes sense, the Legions were bamboozled 10,000 years ago. They've had time to understand that The Lost and The Damned is more than just a band name. They've either sullenly accepted or just went crazy so it doesn't matter.The ones who are still naive enough to buy into the whispered promises are the warbands, The Sanctified, Flawless Host, etc. That's where you go for Chaos piety and fresh faith.

>>97389205That is just OC BL wank from ADB
>>97390068>to let their masters fight without ever stopping even for a moment.that is exactly the ideatoads in the thick of it are a whirlwind of extremely precision violence that play around one another and it would be a waste to have them even bother with slotting another magazine into their weapons and insodoing interrupt said dance playing outthe most that is afforded is planting their weapon into the surface below to have their assistants reload their shit before picking it back up again and it's all laid out to be quite a seamless and efficient affairthey -could- do it by themselves but with the luxury of helpers around it's handed off to them instead
>>97390185Its custodes, their entire existence and narrative purpose is as wank. Theyre the setting designate marie sues, the specialisest bestest ever boys designed to make marines look like guardsmen. You could write that each one of their bolt-shells is hand crafted by the finest smiths in the imperium, and that the process is so long and difficult that most die after only one such bullet and it would fit their tone and vibe. The cooling for their armour is actually using the tears of virgin unicorns? Yup, that fits.Their weapons are forged from a single meteorite that fell to earth during the emperors lifetime and which he had spent the millenia enchanting and working on? Sure. One of them can fight an entire ork waaagh? Okay.And then they do nothing of note and fail to defend the imperial palace anyways.
>>97390216>fail to defend the imperial palace anyways.the innermost sections of the sanctum and dungeon were not punctured into and it could stand to reason that they were largely behind said defensive feat atop whatever else remained of the denial companies of astartes that would end up stationed near to the core of thingsi don't think it's really illustrated anywhere in the fiction but said holding actions were probably as crazy as the fighting got amidst the entire heresy and siege

Would people be able to tell your character is a "tough guy" just from first glance?
Obviously.
I usually DM, but sometimes I play 5e, sadly. The character is a rather stereotypical half-orc barbarian, so I'd say yes.
Yes.
Necromancy Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/Comment too long.
