For the Sharpshooter I would suggest letting it use a variation of the predestination prophecy where only it can attack once the condition is met, but it can do so without LoS and with a damage buff. Sevenfold Sharpshooter or something like that.>ElephantsIt is a bit of a kludge, but you could combine the profiles and add an addendum saying that two elephants constitute one elite for the purposes of the elite counter.

>>97238006Something like this?>Seventhfold SharpshooterSecretly note down an Enemy or Hostile model, a hex and publicly note an upcoming turn. If at any point in the noted turn the noted model enters the noted Hex, interrupt its activation, and the “Lemurian Sharpshooter” resolves as many ranged shots as it has available (if it has 4 shots, do 4 attacks; if it has 2 shots, do 2 attacks; if it has to reload, nothing happens). The “lemurian sharpshooter” still needs to be within its range to do so.

>>97238575The secret is to be an optimized dawn with your optimized pokemon you taught kung fu to.
>>97238578No, but honestly, if you've got a tyrant lizard, you're probably either a deeply unsubtle person, a dynast, or both. I do rather like the idea of a DB that cares for a t-rex buddy as the distraction for the rest of the circle, honestly.
>>97238590>I do rather like the idea of a DB that cares for a t-rex buddy as the distraction for the rest of the circle, honestly.You sort of just described Belkar from Order of the Stick
>>97238601Nah, not necessarily a token evil teammate, which is what Belkar's actual role is. A DB that acts as the party face and has a legendary size familiar as a pet to be able to contribute to fights is a solid mechanical niche, and DBs are expected to have weird entourages, so if the circle is even remotely laying low, the other PCs being special snowflakes shouldn't be an issue. Belkar doesn't serve that role.
>>97238461The secret to minmaxing 3CDs is not to try to compete with dicepools, but environmental and Shaping effects.

But that's irrelevant in a situation where he really should've been rolling Dodge instead.

>>97237683There are optional rules in the crit deck to not draw them when the person nat 20'd is a higher level than you, solves the issues of bosses randomly being decapitated and henchmen suddenly kneecapping heroes
>>97238053Yea, my GM has it so only enemies equal to or greater than the pc's level can get crit cards. Also, you don't draw a fumble card if it was against a lower lvl enemy.
>>97237683This is my experience as well. There's no real baseline power-level for the effects. Sometimes it's basically nothing, other times it drastically swings the fight. The deck is in no way balanced or fair, but then again I guess that's kind of the point. Like, both the 1e and 2e versions of the deck have at least one card that reads something along the lines of "you throw your weapon a random distance in a random direction", and my group has lost two high-level weapons that way--one was hurled overboard at sea, and the other was tossed from the top of a tower into a horde of demons amassed outside.Also, some of the crit/fumble effects just fucking erase a character. This is especially true for spellcasters. Like, every time you cast a spell with an attack roll, there is a very small chance that you have to make a fort save or (direct quote from the card) "your head explodes and you die." Another card forces two rolls on the Rod of Wonder table, which has a chance to literally teleport you to Hell (no save on either effect). For anything but a high-level character, that's guaranteed death. The decks are honestly terrifying. Basically, using the crit/fumble decks just adds an extra layer of gambling to every combat encounter, with stakes that are shockingly high.
>>97238140Correction: as the other Anon mentioned, not EVERY combat encounter, as by default the cards basically have the incapacitation trait.

>>97236622Incorrect. Even the Imperium doesn't go that far. The Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer contains instructions for Guardsmen on anointing and field-stripping their lasguns.

Has anyone had any memorable ship combats in games? Give us the play by play, who were you, who was the enemy, what were you both there for, and how did it go?I had one where I was hired by the navy to recon a suspected ork system. I was in a Firestorm, the initial opposition was a pair of roks (formerly the planet's moon). I played wild weasel with them for a while, chipping them down a bit, when something (possibly a warp drive implosion, definitely a random table result) spat a pair of traitor ships out of the aether. One was a Hellbringer, I believe, and the other was likely an Iconoclast.The traitor ships emerged north of the roks, which was rather unfortunate for me as I was east of them at the time, recovering from a pass at them. Being in their broadside arcs, I had my enginseer hit the jets and managed to loop around to their aft, where I sank a lance shot into the Hellbringer's engines and rolled well enough to cripple its maneuverability. The roks, sporadically and chaotically, as is their wont, began to converge on the damaged cruiser, and I moved wide to pick off the now lonesome escort (which had unwisely tried to chase me down.)Given that my Firestorm was equipped with a rather powerful archaeotech lance, and the escort had already taken chip damage from 'Eavy Gunz, I slagged the hull in a single pass and set to towing it away for the bounty of adamantium, leaving the cruiser and orks to duke it out behind me.
>>97237639RT ship combat is an absolutely awful system. I wish FFG would do "legally distinct 40k" a-la Void War and revise their early work, they were getting close with DH 2.0 and IM is a step back.
>>97237486>working with them openly is the best cover possible. Fighting them just wastes time and resources, and hiding from them would likely fail.except they call his bullshit immediatelysuccessfully lying to them is even more likely to fail than hidingit is possible he will still manage to convince them, but it will be against some really long oddsthe obvious choice is to wait for Roy and Xykon to fight and then act amidst the chaosmaybe Nale feels it will take too long for them to clash, and his tacky makeover is time-limited
>>97237435>>97237486So it's a durkon situation. Will durkon intervene on Nale's behalf on the next page?
>>97237435>>97237850I don't think this is as bad a position for Nale as you're making it out to be. He knows he can't take Xykon on his own, but he also knows that the Order's odds on their own are poor as well (not to mention that they can't afford to waste resources on fighting him, and that's without even knowing about the dragon they just wasted resources killing). The Order also has no reason to assume that his goals deviate from their own, even if he himself is obviously untrustworthy. If Nale frames it right he might be able to get them to agree to something seemingly harmless that ultimately benefits him.This could also just escalate into Haley and Roy attacking before Nale can present his case and Nale retreating to rethink his strategy (assuming he isn't intentionally putting the Order on edge as part of some greater plan, who knows) I guess.
>>97237486>Nale's goal is to break the last gatethat's the task he was given, but whether he actually plans to do it for the guys who barged in and threatened him is still unknown

Thread #02 Lean Winter on the TundraPrevious Thread: >>97090196Welcome to /un0/, an RP thread for playing a World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness Hunter. For any OOC questions about WoD/CofD, check the official general. >>97224887Rules:>We are acephale. There is no storyteller, we are not a quest.>This thread is based primarily but not exclusively in the nWoD/CofD game Hunter: the Vigil. However, Vigil is defined by being highly setting agnostic, with a system for creating entirely custom monsters that do not exist in other WoD/CofD games.

Feel free to play a member of the Society of Leopold, or a member of the Lucifuge hot on the tail of a Lasombra.>Namefagging is encouraged but by no means mandatory.>Keep in mind that even highly experienced Hunters typically only have fractured pieces of the puzzle, and every table has their own canon.

>>97238127I wouldn't know save what I hear through buddies, I'm not crazy enough to leave terra firma without knowledge of how to get back. But you hear things. Knew one hunter who had a psychic friend. No clue if he was legit, but when they were looking for a missing person, the psychic claimed to see some sort of lightless pelagic world filled with incomprehensibly large creatures, and legions of smaller, far more ravenous beings, illuminated only by the crackle of lightning above a dark sea dotted with rocky, lifeless islands. Psychic started drinking heavily after that. >>97238206It feels wrong to say on this of all days, but I agree. I didn't grow up terribly devout but what faith I have has been shattered by ten years of knowing the truth. Arguments of free will ring hollow when you've seen an undead monster steal it from someone with but a glance and an utterance. I would be cautious to attribute angels to california wildfires, could just as easily be some esoteric spirit. Or, loathsome as it is to say, mundane hallucination.

>In the game Werewolf: The Apocalypse, the Garou (werewolves) were made to defend the earth from the cosmic forces that threaten to tear it apart. The Garou fight against the Wyrm, the destroyer. It is a struggle against nearly insurmountable odds, especially considering the rivalry between many tribes. These rivalries make it almost impossible for the werewolves to present a unified front against a cosmic force that pervades reality.>From this morass of hatred and mutual betrayal, there is little hope that the Garou can emerge triumphant against a foe so well armed as the Wyrm. The Wyrm promises money, power, sex, and whatever else the heart desires to its followers while the Garou receive no reward for their striving. It drives them deeper and deeper into despair, or into betrayal so deep that they choose to serve the Wyrm instead.Main Rulebooks:>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Rulebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Rulebook>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Second Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Second_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Revised Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Revised_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_20th_Anniversary_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition Corebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_5th_Edition_CorebookComment too long.

>>97235374If you're not excited to pour over the rules, then you might not have the right enthusiasm for this
>>97235374>Go to a books-based hobby>There's books>Whine
>>97235374I just skim enough to put the least amount of information necessary on my sheet. Sometimes I just make shit up that sounds right, and if I get called out on it I just say I didn't understand that part of the book and write in whatever they correct me on. I usually don't even spend XP, or if I do just dump it into the one or two skills I use all the time. If the GM or play group makes an assumption about a skill or piece of equipment they think I have I just write it on my sheet and go with it. I'm just here to play pretend, and my groups like the characters I play, so they don't need to know about how I do my character sheets.
>>97235646NTA but there’s a point to be made that you don’t wanna play with retards that couldn’t GM, and GMs have to at least be able to read the DMG before a session
What's a character you always wanted to play and what's stopping you?
>>97238091I always get to play what i want to play, the trick is thinking about the character concept AFTER reading the setting primer and the allowed chargen options (and after rolling stats if the DM wants randomized attributes instead of point buy).
>>97238091A fundamentally monstrous creature (eldritch horror, biblical angel, sapient ooze, etc., something that clearly isn't humanoid or common-animal shaped) that disguises itself as a human but has a really poor understanding of how humanoids think and behave. The narrative draw would be (poorly) learning about humanity, while the combat draw would be playing a giant monster.For all the goofy backstories and character identities modern DMs and GMs allow, it's rather disappointing how few of them allow nonhumanoid characters, and those that do tend not to care much about the rules of the game in the first place. Most of them won't even allow such a creature trapped in a human body (basically, just a mechanically normal character with a weird backstory), though playing a downgrade would be a copout to begin with. I can't really blame them though, as I myself wouldn't let someone play that sort of character in my usual campaigns (I did host a "players play the monsters in a dungeon and fight off adventurers" game once though, which was great). Perhaps one day, I too will get to play in a "monster party" gameIf we're talking about characters the typical D&D campaign is designed to handle though, then playing a stereotypical rogue would be nice sometime. Nothing particularly special there, just a guy that's really good at being sneaky. Most games I play in tend not to care about stealth or subtlety in general, so I've somehow never played one in the past decade. Hopefully, an opportunity to change that will arise sometime.
>>97238091I've got plenty but mostly I just end up doing this >>97238243In most games I play a character made for that game. Maybe take some things from an existing character and tweak to fit. Probably the only time I didn't was when i played Lost Mine of Phandelver. Don't really think being on-theme mattered much in that game.
Back in the day I've had a friend, who played this guy. He was a wizard school dropout and a huge chuunibyou. One day he decided to dress up in black armor, put on a spiked helmet and name himself after a random mangled latin word he half-remembered from a lecture. Thus was born the evil overlord lord Gastron, who set out into the world to build his evil empire.Immediately he met our characters - the actually evil party, who decided to make him our leader and humor his delusions, because we've thought it would be funnyThe campaign fizzled out after like 3 sessions, so we didn't get far, but I've always wanted to emulate him and play that character myself
>hear a rich merchant has purchased your local tavern>go to check it out>see this mural painted on the wallyou ordering or leaving?
>>97236113for me, burgers. Call me autistic but it's just a lazy cosmopolitan modern food spread. Complete with the slant-eyed elf eating with chopsticks
>>97236252Oh I had not noticed, thanks. Yeah I guess if you're going for historical accuracy it would be a red flag though modern (post 5) DnD stopped caring about that. Largely as a result of Californian influence, I would assume
>>97235028Hopefully, your local tavern wouldnt effect you much, unless it is a particular old or quirky tavern with some noteworthy characters or history you can include in a game. Just plopping it straight into you game 'as is' might not be a good fit though.Regarding OP's pic, Maybe the DM lacks experience of the world outside their town, of history or of the many, many fantasy genres and settings, or is just unimaginative, so just bases their game on the limited things they know? The majority of people are like this, hence why the publishers target them with OP's pic - it isnt to make a good game, but to make one that sells their product to the biggest market. Stuff like OPs pic is the McDonnalds or Greggs of the world. Doesnt mean you have to serve that to your players, as Good DMs know how to mix up elements than the mass produced shit to make finer offerings. By the way, Merry Christmas.You sound as if you try to include more what some retarded marketing executives choose in a brainstorming meeting though, so I raise a tankard (oldy worldy cup) of mead (oldy worldy drink) to you. Keep up the good work.
