I don't know if people actually read a general from the first post onwards and give up if they don't like the first 10 or so posts.
Generals usually have people popping in and asking or saying something, getting replies, and moving on. Side discussions is the point of having a general.

speaking as a lurker here, that is somewhat interested in nsr systems but doesnt have much experience i am sure there are more people that lurk the general like this.
My personal experience is reading from the first post but skimming over troll posting and all the ACKS arguements.
Don't let the general buckle under the weight of the osr puritans, ACKS shilling and they will eventually tire and leave, at least if people stop engaging them

I am curious how an appearance build would work. From what I can tell if you had the Black Claw martial arts you could get it up to 8, at least for a single action. You'd probably want to go Dreaming Pearl instead though...

Totally useless but...

Outrage-Kindling Cry - 1 appearance for the rest of the fight, 10m 1wp
Awakened Carnal Demiurge - 1 appearance, -1 enemy resolve committed, 5m 1wp.
Thousand Courtesan Ways, 1 appearance, 5m scene long.

How sexy can we get I wonder.

Picking Resistance as Supernal is tasty because it's advantageous in a combat situation, but it strikes me as pretty boring and niche otherwise. Am I wrong in this? Can Supernal Resistance be cool and flavorful?

>>96767876
The other two here are ill informed. What actually happened was that one of the updates a couple months ago caused a bug that made Tomb King and Lizardmen AI completely passive on the campaign map, which meant both lizards and TK’s were getting wiped out in every run every time. The community review bombed the game to hold CA hostage until they fix the issue, which they did a few days ago.

It's like HeroQuest in terms of genre and having a weird parallel history, but it plays very differently and is more like a game than an RPG. It's like the difference between Left for Dead and CoD Zombies.

Thanks, this is helpful. Follow up question: is there an obvious perceivable difference between arcane and divine magic, or is that more of a hyper-specific backend information kind of thing? Basically, what I'm asking is if the average uneducated peasant, or the average middle-class show-owning merchant or skilled craftsman would see someone cast a spell, would their response be...

>That person is dressed like a mage, so they must be doing mage stuff.
>That person is dressed like a priest, so they must be doing priest stuff.
>That person is wearing normal clothes, so I have no idea what they're doing but its some kind of magic.

Or would they be able to kind of instinctively distinguish between a person in plain clothes casting arcane or divine spells, kind of instinctively based on how the spells look or feel? Even if they are not necessarily able to identify the spell itself.

Do we have any updates on when the Swashbuckler Subclass for the Rogue will be reprinted? It was in the Playtest UA before 5e.24 came out and I thought it was pretty neat, but I don't recall us getting any information on how it scored before they decided to put the Psionic Subclasses in.

>>96768221
That's up to the DM, but it's standard fantasy fare that the distinction be apparent. But ultimately even beyond arcane/divine, each individual spellcaster could look and feel different, or at least subclasses. The illusionist whose spells all look like purple translucent cards vs the sorcerer doing draconic stuff full of runes and sigils or his skin tatoos glowing etc

>>96767322
>the Eldrtich Blast spell could only be obtained from a Pact.
And that isn't even true, because lore bards, Magic Initiate and Spell Sniper exists, and the later doesn't necessarily involve a pact of any kind.

>>96768221
It's very individual. The same spell may look different even with the casters of same class, but I would assume divine magic would involve actual prayers instead of nonsense words, and most likely holy symbols (because who even uses actual material components anymore?). Similarly, bard spellcasting may involve music, and sorcerers may use less elaborate components than wizards.
Warlocks and clerics may be amusingly similar in their casting, though.

>>96768354
>And that isn't even true, because lore bards, Magic Initiate and Spell Sniper exists, and the later doesn't necessarily involve a pact of any kind.
Right! I forgot that those were options in 2014 D&D, so yeah that muddies the water even more in that game. 2024 ***so far*** its not possible to get Eldrtich Blast without being a Warlock.

>>96767568
A maul blow to the skull will almost certainly cause stun anyway. At minimum ST to wield it effectively, you're doing 2d+4 damage, minimum 6. Subtracting 2 for skull DR, you still do (4*4) = 16 HP injury, which is more than enough for a major wound. That means a roll against HT-10 to avoid being stunned and knocked down, which is only possible on a critical success for a normal person with HT 14 or less. Even if they are wearing a helmet, an average damage roll will still be a major wound unless it's a greathelm over a normal helm with extra padding or something.

>I'm running a fight simulation against Greatsword to see what stats say.

Drop ‡ from every weapon. It's a retarded legacy thing.

Oh God, ChatGPT doesn't run fights completely correctly I have to train it. I hope after I train it it will learn and never repeat these mistakes. (miscalculating base swing damage, omitting the +2 damage for Strong attack, and I'm checking the rest there might be more)

No I just started to notice it felt good to do that.
Laying face down and limp it felt nice to squish it against things.
Used just to do it for a long time on end.
Didn't ej-culate til I was 13.
That time I had my sexual awakening.
No one taught me to do it.
I wasn't warned off doing it except by my brother.
It didn't cause me ED tho.
I didn't have that til after I spent 5 years sleeping 5 hours a night working in a factory.

>any advice on "eating clean"
NTA, but /fit/bro checking in. The single most important thing is to avoid drinking your calories. Eliminate soda, Starbucks, Mango Sabrina Refreshers from Dunkin Donuts and all of that shit. Even if it claims to have fruit in it, it's fucking poison and making you fat. After that, find out your calorie max for the day with an online TDEE calculator. It's not letting me post a link to one because spam (lol ironic) but go to your search engine of choice and type "TDEE calculator" and go to literally any of them. Count your calories and don't eat more than this. Next, eat your bodyweight in grams of protein per day. So if you're 180lb, eat 180g of protein per day. You'll notice that by trying to do this, you won't have much room for many other calories, and all of a sudden you'll start feeling fucking great. Finally, when you start working out, just remember that you're wearing your body from two weeks ago in the gym (i.e. it won't look any different for about 2 weeks). If you've never worked out before, it will unironically take 2 months to appear on your body, but you'll have a "holy shit" epiphany that will feel like Link pulling the Hookshot out of a treasure chest, music and all. Good luck bro and godspeed

Male human fighters can have a ton of backstory and flavor. I've made a human fighter that is the son of ancient royalty for instance, and has a hint of a romantic pairing with a mysterious girl he's had a crush on ever since he met her when he was six. But even the classic "farmerboy turned soldier" male human fighter can have excellent backstories. I mean hell, look at Luke Skywalker from Star Wars.

>>96767018
Naw, I can confirm from playing said male human fighter, who I've given around a millennia of backstory surrounding the circumstance of his family - I've only had the story been engaged with once. I found them pretty fun to play out of battle regardless, since that's just personality and character, but once you get into a fight it's mostly just spamming the attack button.

>>96768295
>Male human fighters can have a ton of backstory and flavor
Key word "can"
Guess what doesn't happen in 9 out of 10 cases.

>>96768295
Besides, I don't give a flying fuck about backstories, I want a player who isn't sitting by the table, doing fuck all and having to be almost forced to speak up or participate. Why even occupying the spot, if you don't plan to play?

>>96768310
This, what most male human fighter fags don't realize is that the stereotype "fighters are boring" doesn't come from the class. It comes from years of the most boring people you know playing fighters.

I'm not even talking about a lack of backstory, because that really doesn't matter. But a total lack of attention, initiative or involvement. Mostfighterfags just exist at a table to bloat the enemy CR limit and nothing else

>>96755849
Iconoclasm isn't against church or faith, it is against idols, condemning them all to be false. Its morality is that people who think a picture of Christ is capable of miracles is attributing the miracle to the object at least in part and not fully to Christ, etc.

One suspected origin of the doctrine was from Greek Orthodox Christians who lived near the Saracens and observed the piety behind calls to not depict god or the prophet and then thought "damn my neighbors do go hard over that heirloom crucifix of theirs, they treat it as magical. Maybe that's a sin."

>>96757491
and all of these are usually connected to the fantasy church, if not its leader/founder

Do you not know how a message board works?

>>96759453
Second this, but for me it was that the characters reflected their players in that they have no personality, hobbies, or interests outside of combat. For that particular group I learned that they were only good for dungeon crawls.

>>96759434
There is a franchise called The Ark Knight that is a common place for entire sessions of discussion, debate, arguments, and musings about many subjects.

>our characters were fundamentally incompatible with each other.
The fuck is this even supposed to mean? Other than some newfag shit it tune of "oh woe me, we didn't have a single, unified goal across the party".
This is literally the whole fucking point of playing those games. If you have entire party that's single-minded and driven toward a single goal, you might unironically just play a cRPG.

>>96766583
Seems self-explanatory to me
>Elf: I fight for my tree

>Orc: I fight for strength to defeat dwarves
>Human: I fight to get revenge on all orcs because they killed my parents

>Gnome: Once I have enough cash I am funding a project to genocide halflings.
Unless you're lobotomising your character to get along there's no getting along.

>>96759434
I feel like "what does your character do when they have nothing to do?" is an interesting question that more players should explore, but it's not something to fill an entire session with.
