>>97222798Plus he is the family's hero as they are descendants of one of his disciples and thus genetically engineered to be his fanboys. Not really genetically engineered, but the passing of magecraft requires the descendants to share a certain mentality as magecraft is pretty ritualistic in one way or another, so magi families are bound by ideology and traditions as much or even more than they are by blood.

Is Talespire worth the asking price? How does it compare to other VTTs?
>>97219400i pirated it. it's got 0 usable templates so you have to do everything yourself and making a decent map can take up to like an hour at first but if you invest time into getting good there's really no other VTT that compares in terms of atmosphere and wonder.
>>97219400Depends on how you use it. Do you have 10 hours of free time to prep before every session.
>>97219518>>97219617That and the 3D Canvas module lets you do what Talespire does but in a far superior program.

Does anyone else feel like the Byzantine Empire is the closest thing human-kind had to an Elven civilization analogy during our actual history's middle ages? Or am I crazy?Even the part where their highly advanced culture was eventually wiped off the face of the Earth and forgotten in most normie perceptions of history.

How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?
>>97213989...like cockroaches and rats have been eradicated IRL? Oh wait
>>97221259They serve a useful ecological purpose of draining human male testicles.

>>97224342That's the most reasonable explanation I can think of. Goblin threads are pretty common there but I don't think I've ever seen them moved here before. If anything they're usually just left to hit the bump limit.
I haven't bought a model since like 2023 maybe early 2024. When I bought Dante he was like $35. What the fuck happened? This is legit robbery.

>>97220920don't know about the entire planet but I'm pretty sure GW said that Empire is about the size of the entire Europe
>>97224014I'm not sure that the case is with official maps, which make it about as big as Germany
Been working on a conversion
>>97220920>>97224014>>97224027They're never very consistent on the exact size of the world. The Empire is probably the best documented of the setting, but its actual size will vary. I've seen one common map listing the Empire as only about 500-600 miles from roughly Bögenhafen to the easternmost frinches of Ostermark, while this map of Hochland (a reproduction of an older) has the entirety of the Empire's smallest province be roughly 200 miles from one end to another.If we want the Empire to be of a "fun size" then I'd say about 2000 miles from the westernmost parts of Reikland to the ends of Ostermark would work the best. For the entire world? Four times as large would be four times the fun content.

>>97215677Fuck, I forgot one final question.>Can a Daemon Prince that has taken Demonic Stature (he's a monstruous creature now) still have a retinue?
With Ai you can plan your paint schemes easily :)
>>97222395Not covered in the 2004 Chapter Approved CSM codex FAQ, but I'd say no on account of being a monstrous creature rules wise, with the option of yes if you and your opponent aren't going to get shitty about it and can reasonably talk your way through rules disputes because a daemon prince surrounded by a retinue looks cool. I don't think it was ever done in a battle report if that helps.
Why does lichdom exist when you can just clone yourself in 5e?
>>97223626Because your clone living on isn't the same as your consciousness continuing.
>>97223626In addition to the continuity question >>97223655 poses which is quite difficult and generally costly to answer (which varies by edition, which is in-universe split between obtuse changes in how magic functions and versions of the spell), lichdom makes you a lot harder to put down in the first place, brings you back faster, for as many times as you can get away with for a single up-front cost, and actually "solves" aging fully.
>>97223626IDK about 5e, but in many of the earlier editions your soul adheres to your racial lifespan. Spells can stretch your lifespan a limited amount, slowing ageing or giving you the statistically unlikely but theoretically possible best lifespan while keeping you younger than you look - like a wizard looking ~50 from the ages of 50 to 140, then dying.But there was usually a limit in place that prevents you from attaining immortality while in possession of a mortal soul, which is why lichdom was appealing to some. You had to tap into some kind of necromantic bullshit to acquire eternal existence on the material plane, otherwise your soul would "wear out" and rejoin the cycle or whatnot.Clone spells combined with spells that diverted your soul into them if you died unexpectedly were great for staying YOUNG and for avoiding surprise deaths, but they couldn't make you immortal, just long-lived, iirc.
>>97223626You can clone and transfer conciousness into it, yes. That is what some do. But not all. Some prefer the even safer and more permanent version.
>>97223626Hehehe. Boner
I feel like this edition has alot of objectively bad things about it and is absolutely where the alot of worst qualities of current editions showed up. But I feel like I prefer playing this edition compared to a lot of previous editions and 10th edition. Its a weird transitional period where there's still a lot of the old units that haven't been legended yet while still having the fucking Primaris lot. Its strange but I don't feel like I'm missing out on much staying on this edition and playing with friends casually instead of going back to playing the current edition.
>>97217254I recall in 7th playing with Sisters of Battle. That I simply spammed Immolator with twin multi-melta, as much meltaguns dominions, flamer battle sisters and deeptriking seraphins with shred as I could, then fill up the rest with penitent engines.It worked surprising well against Necrons
9e was just 10e with more stupid bullshit to remember
>>97213017>Nu40kDo you mean units? Because many of the units are foul.>>97186166>There will never be a definitive editionBy design because they want to milk you for $If for some reason I didn't want to play OPR any more, I'd play the fan SRD for 4th. But that would only be if OPR shits the bed and I didn't like Xenos Rampant or something.

Speaking of 9th, who the hell thought Combat Attrition was a good way of getting people to buy more models?
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?
>>97217677I agree, however i understand more people seem to like flashy magic. How i think of it is people like lovecraftian and hate lovecraft. They like the seeing what the giant monster can do, where people like you and i prefer to leave that part up to the imagination. I think gandalf is cooler when he isnt showing off all he can do, but most people would just rather have wizards that are more like superheros or anime characters. To each their own
>>97217677Nah, that sounds lame as fuck. Give me wizard societys with flying cities and army destroying giga spells.
>>97224083That would have been cool as hell back when I was 12

>>97223169I think 3E demons are mostly fine, but I'm kind of unreasonably angry about Makarios's art in Hundred Devils Night Parade. He looks completely different from his past depictions, and he also looks like a shady as fuck trickster which isn't really at all what he's about.
Merit ideaEducationOne dot is basic reading, writing and math for languages you speakTwo dots is for nobility and higher status individualsThree dots is a high class education typically given to Dynasts or royaltyWhen making a Lore roll, you can substitute your rating in the Merit in place of the Lore ratingIf you want your Dynast or royalty to be a bad student or dumb you can voluntarily have a lower Education rating
>>97224338That's a Lore specialty
>>97224338Yeah, that's just Lore more or less
