I've been homebrewing a George Droyd monster for my campaign as a CR6 undead construct powered by Mordayn Vapors.

If I want to put it on D&D Beyond, should I just rename it to something like Mordayn Cyborg to avoid getting banned? Do you think anyone would notice?

What a retarded thing to want to do.

I want to make a villain in my game be a murderous Kalashtar GOOlock, and have him be attacking people mentally in undetectable ways. He'd be able to disguise himself, cast spells through an invisible familiar without noticeable components, and all the other fun GOO warlock stuff.

My question is how to make it so the party can discover it is his doing. If he is half a block away casting Enemies Abound through his invisible quasit using gaze of two minds, how does the party figure out he is the cause, especially when some random dude starts going psycho in the middle of a crowd? I feel like it has the makings of a cool villain, but feel like it is almost too slippery. What could be some ways to lay breadcrumbs for my players to figure it out?

>>97220368
>Do you guys like making a backstory for your characters?
I keep it simple. Simple life with his family. His parents, or one of them, taught him how to fight or use magic in general. He has a job, whether it’s working as a farmer, guide, or something else. He’s curious by nature, so he decides to venture out

>>97220783
All you need is one person with see invisibility or divine sense to ping the presence of the quasit. Maybe that isn’t a member of the party, but someone raving about the invisible demon controlling the guy who just lost his shit in the middle of the street might get some attention.

Intelligence is great for magic-users and illusionists (1e) and wizards (2e), but beyond that it's merely a good stat, and OP asked about the best stat. The best stat in AD&D is strength. It adds to hit in melee, it adds to damage with all weapons, and the damage gain is ridiculous. There's an entire minigame with percentile dice when you get to strength 18, and magic items let you step past that. It's by far the best source of damage, and if no one at the table has it, you're gonna struggle. Intelligence is not the best stat in AD&D, unless you're a magicbro.

But if you are, yea, it is.

Hollow Earth Expedition.
This is a dice-pool game. 17 out of 30 skills fall under INT. For comparison, DEX has 7 skills
Those 17 INT skills involve stuff like Knowledge, Science etc, so they have sub-skills that have to be bought separately, further increasing the utility
INT governs the strongest weapon skills in the game
There is a talent that allows to use your INT instead of whatever your combat skill of choice was using (so you use INT instead of STR for Brawl, INT instead of DEX for weapons etc) - each stat has this talent, but INT
Raw INT rolls are used when you lack specific skill and need to figure shit out

Hard mode requirements are also passed.
Magic is under CHA/WIL and you need a FUCKLOAD of Body (local version of END) to not faint non-stop. INT is completely out of the equation.

>>97220107
*but INT has the biggest utility of the stats

Starfinder 1e because hacking is broken and it's an INT skill. Basically everything in the game can be either reproduced or circumvented via hacking. You can hack doors, alarms, vehicles. You can hack people's phones, even their weapons and armor. It's the best combat skill, the best social skill, and the best utility skill. And it all hinges on a single kind of skill check: Computers, which is INT-based. You can even get wireless hacking at a very low level, allowing you to basically hack anything in Bluetooth range, removing the need to actually touch what you're hacking or look suspicious while doing it.

The developers released a supplement later on that tried to nerf hacking by splitting it up into three separate skills, forcing hackers to at least choose one or two things to be absolutely broken at, rather than bending the game over and fucking it constantly. However, the devs didn't have the balls to just straight-up patch it, so they released the change as a set of "optional rules," which--when a playgroup is even aware of them--are generally ignored.

A wizard lair should have a Golem or construct of some kind. Maybe a room that appears to be a place for high quality statues and other shiny bits of loot, like gold jewelry adorning the golem and the gargoyles being crouched over a bowl filled with gold/platinum coins. If a PC moves to steal then the constructs all come alive to attack the thief.

It doesn't normally take much for player characters to kill people. The location of something shiny is usually enough.
>false leads
This is normally a bad idea. A game is not a story, and you shouldn't expect it to work like one.

>>97217422
Without knowing more about your party or your world's history, generally anything that indulges or promises to enrich or empower the players is enough.
The price for profit can always be reduced to money. Life insurance is proof enough that even the average person understands how much someone's life is worth

If you're talking about raw power, heck just attach a meta-mechanical benefit for getting a piece of treasure or book. You promise to give them a feat from the book? If it's the first time, you don't even have to tell them it's the worst feat in the book.

One could argue that it's pathetic and effeminate to complain indirectly about what others do on an anonymous forum instead of telling them. Paint your models, set an example for others to follow, and have fun. Life is too short to get angry at people about this sort of thing.

Cool. So you don't actually own any of the models in question.

>>97220766
Following up on this, they say that TF works on the characters own convictions, could a cult leader use their own faith to justify true faith or would they need to be based on a "real" religion?

No, they absolutely do not. You are just not aware of the inner workings of your LGS. I promise you that they buy land stations, because every LGS does. They are the only people its even marketed to really.

>Eldar aren't post-scarcity anymore, actually.
Technically they still are, especially the Commorites, but the Exodites actively reject it and Craftworlders practically don't have the means to reproduce their post-scarcity society, without resorting to the same shit Commorites do (which they don't want to do morally/ethically), due to the fact how post-Slaanesh the natural way to procreate for eldar is severely restricted due to the inherent dangers involved, and they are already an extremely slowly reproducing species to begin with, so they lack manpower to actually expand their craftworlds.

>>97211911
even if the earth caste could make a suit of similar nature for their human subjects, most orthodox tau and especially ethereals would not trust them with it. you'd need an offshoot willing and able to take radical action like the farsight enclaves or the 4th sphere colonies to do that

>>97213037
>so they lack manpower to actually expand their craftworlds
they have been physically expanding their craftworlds for the past 10 thousand years, it is population that has been generally decreasing

Vtols live on the same map as armor, so armor. Or infantry if they've got infantry compartments.

>>97220539
VTOLs go in their own units but are air cavalry rather than aerospace superiority, so they go under the armor commander

Oh, they're definitely using the sixth true magic as a final powerup here. Probably unlocked through Olga Marie master love or some shit like that.
It would even fit with the idea of the sixth true magic bringing 'happiness to all', given it would be used to save literally all life in the universe.

>Only pure charisma and wordsmithing or are you open to using sorcery to addle the mind and go full dark influence?

He does have Cursed Flesh Seal, which makes people he's beaten much more susceptible to him. There's also whatever we think Maximum Talisman Master and the like could do. I am open to mind control but a significant part of his character is that he's very knowledgeable, 'wise,' and charismatic and uses the truth as a weapon rather than purely reliant on just lies. I fully expect him to never actually fully corrupt or control anyone, but enough to cause some havoc and disunity.

>>97220551
As an aside if we did want him to be full dark magic master controller I could easily trade out some points to up Charisma to III and take Attractiveness III as some sort of hypnotic evil glamour rather than being the sexiest man alive. He'd become VERY reliant on Perks instead of Techniques but it could even be a point that he isn't a great Cultivator.

>>97220534
>Its just my midgoal, I hope things go that way but don't intend to hamfist it.
I think it can work pretty well, we have the characters for it. I had some ideas for that as well but I would need to ask the relevant anons to see if it can work.
>and have characters with Iron Will no-sell the dark spells.
It sounds fun, but going by this and the 5s in both perception and int I made a character that is as immune to it as you can get. Without having a dedicated technique for it that is. So he's more likely to be the one that finds out, at some point. Still a cool subplot.

>>97219557
Nobody officially picked it up. We had a brief discussion about planning it in thread and then someone just puts the ideas in a story but that was a bit shortlived. I can find the links to the discussion if needed.
I will wait a little more for it then I may just close it myself. Not in the spirit of a chain but it is kinda holing us back, at least that's the general feel.

>>97220632
