>>97818555The player character is "supposed" to have quite limited information, with the details of statblocks "supposed" to come from knowledge-related skills rather than sourced externally, though 5e doesn't have much clear framework for how good a skill roll gives what result and the bonus scaling is a horrible constraint.It's a holdover from Gygaxian adversarial DMing where the players were expected to puzzle these things out from the results of roles, to my understanding.

Any suggestions for systems built for urban fantasy settings? I know there's World of Darkness but I'm looking for something that is more combat focused and less story telling. Monster of the Week has been suggested to me but I'm just not a big fan of PBTA, the systems just don't feel like a game to me as bullshit as that sounds.
>>97815373Either Savage Worlds or WitchCraft, depending on what's exactly your goalMotW is a memegame that does fuck all, befitting an EHP game.
>>97817523Characters are as competent as always. They simply have more HP.Which still works.
>>97815373Kamigakari is what you want.
>>97815373Option 1:Any of the japanese urban fantasy games like tenra banshou zero, they all more or less play the same. They're competent enough.Option 2:Genesys. Good combat, but it's a generic system so you have to put on the work.Option3:GURPS. If nothing else is what you want, you can make gurps do what exactly what you want exactly how you want, it just takes a lot of work.

>>97819373Depends on what you need them to represent. While I like them with big supple asses, if the idea is to make them fae and ethereal then juicy milkers genuinely work against the notion.
>>97819107Anon, they're still around as a fringe faction. Your statement is hyperbole.
>>97819373Dunno anon, aren't elves described as a lithe and slender race with bonuses to dexterity and agility, as well as a lack of toughness and constitution in most games? What do you think a creature described as such should look like, in comparison, for instance, to stocky and broad dwarves with their tough and durable bodies?What is the stat attribution of elves in your game? That could be a pretty good indicator of what your elves "should" be in your games.

>>97819141There is no therapy. You can get kidnapped by authorities, sent to looney bin where they strip your chrome and brainwash you back to full humanity.There are rules in one of the Chrome books for more expensive cyberware that eats less humanity, but that benefit is only available at the time of installation.
>>97819141Port the rules from Red and EMK
>>97819246Speaking of therapy, I really thought it was a good idea when first running red, but too many players just treat it as paying a tax rather than a narrative turning point for the character. I think it should be scrapped for something with better incentives, or just made into an actual consumable.

Think I finally nailed my units of lengthBase unit is a foot. There are 5 feet in a standardized pace. 3 in a step. Used in the same context of yard. So something is such and such paces away. Or two paces long. etc. The hole is 3 steps deep. The stone slid 4 steps to the left. etc. Strides are 4000 feet. Based on the average distance someone can walk in the wilds in one hour. So its not uncommon phasing to describe directions as being a hours stride north west, or 2 and a half hours stride east. It is around the middle distance between a mile and a kilometer and used in the setting's context in a similar way. So a person used to miles can think of strides as similar to miles in their head. While someone used to kilometers will think of strides similar to kilometers. Anything smaller I use comparisons or fractions rather than smaller standardized units. I doubt I will meaningfully need larger units so those too can be handled with comparisons to get scale across.
>>97784855Quick question - is there any fantasy or urban fantasy equivalent to the Space Marines? They're made by implanting various extra organs with some genetic modification from the geneseed. I can't think of anything else quite like that in other settings.
>>97818348Oh wow. Just thought of a secondary measurement system for one of the particular people groups. Because it wouldn't make sense for them to use such a human eccentric measurement standard even in their own settlements. So in my setting the Guyin people use Yins as their length measurement system. One Yin just so happens to be exactly one meter. Can add prefixes to yins to go up and down in scale similar to meters. centimeter/centiyin, kilometer/kiloyin etc. So the foot based system is called the Walker system of standardized measurements, also known as the Walker System (WS for short). The yin based system is simply called the Guyin standard (GS).

Where do I even put this on the alignmen chart?There's collectivist angle allowing "all people" to pursue their dreams, which is pretty Lawful.But also dependence on slave labor (drugged out of their mind to stay content and compliant), which seems pretty Evil.Or is ensuring the working class doesn't suffer kind enough to shift towards Neutral?Assuming high fantasy, not mudcore where the peasants make over 90% of the population.

>>97816223>Hey now, there's a difference between trafficking with Demons and trafficking with the Wyrm.Debatable. Cosmologically they serve similar purposes and even the same fate. Demons were imprisoned by God and went mad, the Wyrm was imprisoned by the Weaver and went mad. They're practically mirrors of eachother.>I assume the Wyrm getting imprisoned was a pre-Caine thing but I don't know that for certain.There is at least one Garou cosmological legend that places Caine quite literally inside the Wyrm as part of the reason it went mad. The Wyrm tried to consume the Bloody Man but he fed on its blood from the inside. But then, Garou cosmology is even more schizo than Noddism.

>>97818881Wonka is a Devil-Tiger ideal. He provides the means to engage in all sorts of sin (overindulgence, overweening pride, foolish leaping before you look to use something before it's tested) and punishes anyone who walls for the bait.(For real, one of the esteemed members of the Dharma is a pastiche on Willy Wonka. He's in the Devil Tigers splatbook.)
>>97816190Vico was more unhinged than you, because he had no "I'm a Malkavian" excuse.>>97818486As already mentioned, I'm a Ventrue Antediluvian Truther. Though I personally hold to the belief that Caine hated him and he 100% took part in the slaughter of the 2nd gen. May have even been one of the ringleaders, though I'd wager it wasn't his idea initially. Ventru absolutely wants to stop the Gehenna and his dumbass siblings' plans, largely because he doesn't want to rule a pile of rubble. My other big Antediluvian headcanon is that Haqim is at his core a coward. Assamite disciplines are all about fighting in an unfair manner, and they can easily pivot to escape if something goes wrong. All that talk about Haqim the noble warrior, Haqim the demon slayer, Haqim Caine's Judge is bluster and cope. Fear dictates his every move, a fear he's had since his embrace. The Path of Blood was just his way of creating a radical brood, loyal to him, who would kill every other vampire. He wants them dead out of fear of them doing to him what he and his siblings did to the second generation. In time he grew to fear even his own clan, and that's why he hasn't been seen even by the brood that worships him as a God. Sheer cowardice.
