I was thinking that maybe the tac ops that force you into enemy territory to score them would be enough to counteract this... but there's only 3... (5 if you include plant devices and plant banner)
and they're spread around the archetypes meaning you're never forced to take one
also the two security ones are more like toeing into enemy territory as far away from danger as humanly possible
not great

The one issue is the different armour marks. You need some way to differentiate between the models that are supposed to be tacticus, phobos, and gravis, since they have different stats. Especially the gravis ones, since they should have a larger silhouette and would look weird on a whole 40mm base.
But it's absolutely a good choice for how to make them. Picrel is how I added a gravis operative to my team, converted mostly from a tartarus terminator.

>>96911745
I'd argue base size and weapon loadout do enough to differentiate, but maaaybe phobos would want some more distinction

I imagine it would have both, given the state of the mechanicus in this sector and the major inquisition presence. Probably the only absolutely loyal Imperial presence in the sector, possibly because their faith in the Emperor is strong enough to overcome/mitigate the corruption that's been spreading, which is also probably why the Inquisition are here in force.

Pretty much agree with these. I would probably slot in Kineticist and Wrestler over over some of your other choices. Wood is the most well known strong one, but stuff like Thermal Nimbus and some of the water impulses are underrated. Wood and Earth Armors are also excellent to give better AC, on top of giving you stuff like Bulwark and Shield Block.

Wrestler speaks for itself. Free Titan Wreslter, free skill bump for the best skill in the game, feats that do everything from let you "grab" AC to punishing creatures for escaping your grabs.

Not that anon, but Wrestler always seems to be good with a lot of melee classes, especially with the Gymnast Swashbuckler from what I've seen since it synergizes well with it due to getting panache from grappling, repositioning, tripping and shoving. I like the cool abilities and flavor of Kineticists, especially the Wood/Earth mix for defense and healing it provides, but they often feel very limited in what they can multiclass into since the Elemental Blasts don't count as strikes and wouldn't trigger stuff like the Investigator's Attack Stratagem.

>>96911661
ehhh.
Wrestler is pretty great, but I wouldn't call it busted. It's best things (since Whirling Throw was nerfed) is that quick bump in Athletics proficiency and easy access to Combat Grab. It isn't the kind of meta-defying "win more" button the options I listed are. It's on the same tier as Scout, Pistol Phenom, Fireworks Technican, or Acrobat -- an incredible slot-in for your build/statline but there are obviously higher powered picks.
And Kineticist does have great feats, but the +2 to CON prerequisite is the most taxing requirement and the dedication might as well do nothing for most classes. Plus the inability to mesh with other options really handicaps its possible power.

>>96911668
>It really should not be such a hard class to understand or play properly when it's such a basic bitch, common fantasy to be "Guy Who Punches Good (and A Lot)"
It sort of comes down to 2 issues
>"Guy that punches really hard" is kind of a different fantasy compared to "guy with a really cool magic sword"
>Redundancy
The better you make the core punch fantasy, the more you downplay the effectiveness of other traditional martial skills, especially when you introduce actual physicality to weapons (sunder rules/durability, ammo, weight, metals). So it becomes an awkward balancing act of finding ways to amp up punching and other Asian martial arts without making all the other options less valuable. Hence the super weird ki systems everyone makes for them. Hell, some fault can even be pinned towards Cleric/Warpriest/CoDzilla issues, with how it ends up being the "disciple of a martial order" deal.
It doesn't help grognards have a history of getting really uppity when a traditional fantasy game starts getting too weeby, see the longstanding joke of the Book of Weeaboo Fightan Majick.

>Dwarves just Hobbits with beards
>Balrogs as horned Christian devils

The first three, I get. But could you elaborate on these?
How are most Tolkien-inspired games doing Dwarves wrong?
I mean, sure, the Balrog in LOTR isn't described in tons of details, but imagining them as horned devils doesn't seem too far-fetched?
Aren't Ents described by someone on Saruman's side as looking like a forest that walks?

>>96908504
>How are most Tolkien-inspired games doing Dwarves wrong?
Dwarves were not ever described as being aggressive drunkard Scots for one thing, nor were they just short people with beards. They were hardy, strong, stubborn, but honourable people, designed to survive through the harsh times of the First Age. D&D first began the trend of Dwarves being axe-wielding morons, but the LotR films really cemented them as this slapstick idiot viking midget trope.
>I mean, sure, the Balrog in LOTR isn't described in tons of details, but imagining them as horned devils doesn't seem too far-fetched?
It's too Christian to think of them like that. Tolkien's pretty much only inclusion of his faith was having a single primary God in Eru Iluvatar, but the bulk of divine interaction in Arda was the Valar, which were much closer to a pagan pantheon style of deities than anything Christian, precisely because Tolkien was going for a native British mythology to fill the gap that Arthurian legend (polluted by French and Christian ideologies) awkwardly perched in. It's then fairly obvious to see that Balrogs would be less like Christian demons or devils in aesthetic, and more like fire giants of Norse mythology, since it's clear Tolkien used a lot of Norse mythology already. Less horned goat and more enemies of Asgard.
>Aren't Ents described by someone on Saruman's side as looking like a forest that walks?
That's the Huorns. They were what looked like a moving forest, because they were literally trees that could move. Ents (name derived from Ettin) were always described more as giant humanoids, similar to trolls, but with some traits that resembled trees (Treebeard, for example, had smooth brown arms, a beard that had some slight mossy and twiggy qualities, big feet with seven toes each, and what was likely clothing made of green and grey bark but potentially was his torso skin, though I lean more towards clothes, his arms were bare and not bark-like, neither were his feet).

First, you need to understand that when people say it's like wow that's a metonym meaning "it's like a vidya rpg". Wow is just one example of a vidya rpg, though the biggest and best known at the time 4e was released.

Second, I'm not your web valet. My goal was to show that the 4e designers themselves said it was like vidya contradicting the anon, maybe even you, who was implying that claims of similarities were invalid. The similarities are there regardless of the designers being aware of them. That the designers say this was a deliberate goal on their part just amplifies the anon's wrongness. If you want particular details of similarities that players have found over the years do a websearch.

Dismissing those quotes as wishy washy is disingenuous when only one of them mentions being told what to do, and the first says "the lessons we learn from online games are going to be the most obvious". You're coming at this in bad faith and you're still asking me to provide sources for you. That's rude. Do it yourself.

>>96909452
>No that's 3E. Looked at Fallout and Everquest.
Interesting. I very briefly played Everquest, well after it's original release, never played a single Fallout game so I can't comment on that, but I don't see 3e being similar to Everquest, certainly not as obvious as the relationship between 4e, wow and diablo.

Reminder to jerk off BEFORE posting.

It would make more sense for them to be aware of their "delicious" status and develop warrior culture that leverages aesthetics and elements of eroticism to gain advantage in combat.
Something like developing an intentionally-sensual fighting style, which combines flashy blade-dancing moves with scant clothing to deliver performance that borders on being erotic.
The result works to distract and confuse the opponent, making them prey to mistakes and hesitation.
Or, if they lose, make seduction easier, convincing said opponent to spare them in exchange for submitting to the carnal desires that they themselves have caused.
Which serves to give a second change to finish the job during intercourse with the help of the assassin training.

Suddenly, this is no longer mere coomer bait, but a curious sort of people that combine sex and violence into a strange and exciting mix. Likely natural-born assassins, courtesans, and spies, or anything in between.
tl;dr coomer bait can be made interesting, you simply choose not to make it such.

I need an idea for what (non magical) class would best embody a childish or autistic character
example:
a homebody type personality who is not retarded or unintelligent but is ‘simple’ and while fully capable, prefers childish hobbies
My idea is either a non-flashy swashbuckler or prankster type Rogue who enjoys simple childish pranks and is able to weaponize that spirit just enough to become an adventurer

>>96911593
a tardo personality has nothing to do with any of that and anything could apply to such a person.

>quiet but competant guy with strange hobby

is not a class.

My best experience with it was when I was a member of a game who's storyteller (yeah it was WOD) ran side sessions for down time activity. We'd have a main session that was full of action and fun and a Side session that was mainly dedicated to fun. It was in one of the main sessions I met the character of Ruby. A wonderful changling woman who had such a zest for life... I would only interact with this character in the side sessions, Me and My storyteller basically treated it like a dating sim.

Then that character Died while his Girlfriend was kidnapped by unforseen forces, and after that The Dating Sim went to 3 fat chicks of which my Story Teller said "You don't get to Roll." and I ERP in my leisure, so I traumatized everyone because I couldn't get my classic romance story, because I am Top 50 Retard

All the new Starter sets contain a list fit for an initiation game.
They are not perfectly balanced for a "real" recon game as Empire and GAR are both above the 600pts limit while Rebel and CIS are below but they are matched well enough in power level and activation counts. What's cool about these starter list is that they use all the model in the box and gives most of them upgrades which helps with grasping the rules.
