What races exist in your setting, or at least are races that you like, be it in science fiction or fantasy settings, and wish were seen more often? For me, I wish Warforged were in more D&D settings naturally.
>>97825003>not really, they just act like evil humans.They evolved to mimic humans to hunt them more effectively IIRC.
>>97830563That tangentially reminds me of what of the quirks of a shapeshifter race in my setting: they actually evolved to be LESS perfect at shapeshifting than early members of their species were. The other intelligent races provided a pretty strong selection pressure in that a given member of the species was much more likely to be killed out of fear and paranoia if they had previously perfectly passed as a member of the race they were mimicking. People were generally more willing to accept the weird autistic shapeshifter people when you could still obviously tell what they were.
>>97830605Huh, that's an interesting idea. What system does this use?

>>97834286I don't think UltimateBrachiomon and the new Titamon justify Dorimon's effect yet, so I'm still expecting some more Titans in this set to flesh that out into a slightly different flavor of Titans deck than last set.
>>97833242more like>we aren't changing it>but for the people who immediately have tournaments and might get fucked by this here is an extension so you can sort it outI think its silly that its official tokens only instead of stricter guidelines for tokens.But a lot of tokens are very unclear about the stat lines of the token, things like level and play cost are very often not written on a lot of fan tokens which makes it very annoying (be it they have them or directly are lacking them)if they put out a bunch more tokens and make them far more accessible then idc really, but as it stands its pretty shitty. and I say that despite having more than enough official tokens for all my decks and having gotten the nice foiled art ones for all the ones that have them that I play (diaboro, medusa, puppets, sakuya) and that this has 0 impact on me as I didn't buy fan tokens anyway.

>>97833591No problem, glad to have a chance to rant about my current autism trap honestly.>"atomised Charm design"This is also why Investigation is my least favourite Ability tree. Don't get me wrong, it's good enough at what it does, but it has the most Charms that work with the mechanics as stated rather than get weird with it like Awareness eventually rewarding you for devolving into solipsistically ignoring attacks. Even then there are a few neat effects like World-Memory Echo (glimpsing the past), Sand-Writ Exodus (cursing someone with footsteps of silver sand that reform if swept away without appropriate magic) and Inevitable Manhunt Summons (teleporting the guilty into the Endless Desert, which they inevitably escape into the Infernal's presence). Bureaucracy is surprisingly fun even though it basically amounts to a second Socialise charmset plus some assorted (mostly) large scale curses.>Solar BrawlAdmittedly despite my unease with the mechanics, my takeaway from both is that essentially while Solar Brawl will whip Infernal Brawl in a Charm-for-Charm contest, Infernal Brawl is designed in a way to ultimately be greater than the sum of it's parts in ways that are more sustainable. More to follow, and everyone else feel free to correct me if I'm wrong/inaccurate.
>>97833591Take a look at Retribution Will Follow, Infernal Monster Awakened and Glory to the Demon-Monster for example. Individually each is a very modest effect compared to the Supernal Brawl Solar using Fivefold Fury Onslaught to punch you forever (and let's face it, Joyful Cessation of Restraint is just a shittier, lower Essence FFO) or reset all his rounds of control-but taken together you end up with multiple scenelongs that cut down on Essence/Willpower costs, enhances Strength when you Decisive/crash someone then adds it to your effective Initiative while ignoring some soak/hardness, reduces wound/crippling penalties and adding an automatic success to attack rolls. There is nothing like Inevitable Victory Meditation that lets you stock a functionally guaranteed hit ahead of time...but /you don't have to time it or rely on that one good hit either/Another example is the flashy Lightning Strikes Twice, which gives you an extra attack using ANY Ability in Brawl and lets you charge several rangebands to potentially put someone in a grapple with their Defense set to 0. Infernal Brawl does not really fuck with Defense directly. Nor does it have Ascendant Battle Visage's enhanced Clashes, powerful long ranged clash effects, speed buffs or immunity to being crashed.What it DOES have are competitive alternatives. The Infernal may not be able to double Rush results...but with Nowhere to Run the Infernal can simply attack at long range, no questions asked, with 4 bonus damage dice to boot. Slavering Horror Maw is already a pretty good heavy weapon that's just there PERMANENTLY on your face, and it can be upgraded to add it's daamge to even non-savaging bite attacks, convert damage dice to automatic successes and make reflexive decisive once per round. One Hand Fury (also PERMANENT) can give the fangs even BETTER traits, rerolls (Strength failures) and makes them very nasty. The surcharge effect is seemingly indefinite.
>>97833591The long and short of it is that Solar Brawl is very flashy, but from what I've seen it's individual Charm costs ramp up very quickly. Whereas Infernal Brawl is comparatively modest, but is way more generous with scenelongs/permanent effects. If the Solar gets the timing right and pops off a good attack, nothing can stop him. But that's a big if, there's a reason why Dodge has often been recommended as a supplement to Brawl, and Infernal Brawl kinda approaches fights with both being and adapting to worst case scenarios. Worth noting that Hero-Sundering Hands forces a grappled foe to either accept the highest crippling injury possible (which doesn't count for their maximum) and Star-Swallowing Cosmos Collapse (showy name but it just lets you grapple out to short range) implies Infernal Brawlers have much less to fear from multiple opponents and battlegroups.>Blasphemous Miracle ProvidenceFor me, the big breakthrough was seeing Distant Whisper Wind (influence someone in Essence X10 miles briefly, or everyone in extreme range for a prolonged period), Spoken Sigil Ideogram (sub Linguistics for another social Charm's Ability. Did I mention Performance has a separate Charm to use it's Charms interchangeably for all kinds of performance? Or War) and Conceptual Rebus Concatenation (use TWO Simple Linguistics Charms together!) together in Linguistics. And after some consultation realising that yes, you CAN blast people with your Torments while ravaging their Resolve.>the main thingMercifully not only do Infernals have a lot of tools to even the odds (like the Brawl Charms I mentioned), but Shadow Spite Curse is back (in Larceny) and better than ever at absolutely fucking over everyone else's rolls. Best thing is unlike Abyssals, Infernals are much less reliant on actually landing penalties on people; the overall Charm design is more about either winning the war even if the battle's lost or throwing out costly to deal with effects at crazy ranges.
>>97833660>real, cooler NPC InfernalsHolden, of course, claims he had no idea what he was thinking when writing that. And yeah, Essence really discouraged me as well. I do wish there was a bit more substance to what Infernals currently have, but I'll gladly take it over either Cosmic Exalted Akuma or the SJWs of Hell.>Interpreting these bodiesIt's a reasonable take, one thing I will never be used to with 3e is lots of things going unexplained or confusingly worded when 2e at least tried to lay all the cards on the table when it wasn't OUTRIGHT withholding the big boys' statblocks from you.One thing that strikes me about the draft demons' statblocks is they look much more incomplete than the ones in HDNP, and what struck me about a lot of HDNP demons was that in many cases they weren't MEANT to be combat monsters. So my final cope is that the actual, published version of Ligier, Ululaya and the lot may just have a few extra things to clarify how their celestial bodies work or add to their powerset. It doesn't have to be anything too showy, I would be quite pleased with a Principle Invoking Onslaught-style hack of a Merit that just goes "Ligier's might transcends mere physicality. He can make these effects with Presence, Performance, Occult etc which makes them manifest as pillars of hellfire erupting from beneath the foe, rains of molten metal, environmental hazards with X Difficulty and Y damage etc etc etc" It's not a hope I'm holding onto particularly strongly, because I've consistently seen 3e's development take the path of least resistance and most low effort, shallow, reactionary kneejerk response to prior editions' content. But 3e Infernals has restored enough of my optimism to wait and hope at least. That and fill in the feedback form for what little good it'll do.
Speaking of Infernal Bureaucracy, while the whole arsenal of bureaucratic curses is very creative and all, looking through Solar Bureaucracy I find it funny that there is one (1) Solar Charm (Woe-Capturing Web) that is designed to hard counter all of them as long as the Solar can match the mote cost of said curse. There is no roll-off or anything. The curse just gets negated or returned to sender by the Solar who can maintain it for as long as the motes are committed.I'm not even mad, it's fucking hilarious how that one Charm exists specifically to punish counter-organisational mystic hubris.

>>97831574My idea with Ward is to have a Shield+ cantrip that you can keep raised for +2AC when you get the sustain feat at 12. That's why I didn't add it to Shell like Metal Carapace and Hardwood Armor have their shields. Also so I could improve them separately, but mainly for the later sustain. Will tweak the numbers, though.Shell is a better Armor in Earth, because why do 5/1 when you can do 6/0?
Is it just Me or is the lack of low level monsters in PF2 kinda weird? Seems like the majority is between levels 8 and 13.
>>97833659Factually untrue, go look at Archives of Nethys, most monsters are low level.
>>97829866oh yeah, the commonplace immunity to bludgeoning damage...
>>97833659There were a lot of low level monsters before remastered already, but you can always use adjustment to take some critter a few notches down to make it low, like using young dragons as the base for wyrmlings since they have been removed from the bookalternatively, exercise your brainz by adapting some low level from the first edition or other source, or make up your own

>>97833849> with the exception of episode 9, not even they like that onePretty much agree (though episode 8 was, I’d argue, slightly more trash than 9) But I did kinda like Exegol (the location anyway) and the look of Sith Eternal stormtroopers.And the idea that bigger chunks of the DS2 might be found on other, less inhabited, moons of Endor wasn’t a horrible idea (the dagger thing was stupid) or the wayfinder stones feels like something force users of the past might concoct to keep their sacred sites secret.… basically there’s bits and pieces from the sequel trilogy that I’d like to cannibalize for my own Star Wars adventures, so long as I can completely disconnect them from the god-awful story and shittier elements.
>>97827927Literal retard take. Clonemasters using forbidden technology and kicking off a series of destructive wars is kino. Lucas's faggy "lol palpatine was the puppet master of both sides the whole time" is something a 12 year old would write and think was super edgy and cool. You're not a 12-year old are you anon? You have to be at least 13 to post here.
Test
>>97834064Even Lucas's ideas for the Clone Wars seem to have changed somewhere between the OT and prequels. In an earlier script of ESB, Lando was supposed to be a clone, and he mentions how there's not many clones around after the Clone Wars and implies that clones have a bad reputation because of the war, which would suggest that the original idea was that the war was against clones (which would also fit with it being called the Clone Wars: the PT conflict would make more sense to be called the Separatist War or the Droid Wars, since that's what the Republic was actually fighting against).
>>97834064Bad bait nigger>Clonemasters using forbidden technology and kicking off a series of destructive wars is kinoNo it isn't. It's generic sci-fi slop which appeals to the lowest common denominator. The kind of shit you'd see in a subpar sci-fi comic series in the 50s. "Oy vey le misterious evil dude has clones to invade le galaxy" bleh.>Lucas's faggy "lol palpatine was the puppet master of both sides the whole time" is something a 12 year old would write and think was super edgy and coolPalpatine is the TRUE villain of Star Wars. You're just such a fucking retard that you take Sheev to be a bog average villain that gets defeated and replaced in a week. Palpatine is Satan, his conquest of the Republic using political manipulation and fearmongering is TRUE kino, it's realistic and not just pew pew nonsense. It also requires thought to understand unlike Zahn's trash. Chances are you don't even understand the PT and think the politics are boring lmao>>97834478>Lucas's ideas for the Clone Wars seem to have changed somewhere between the OT and prequelsNo fucking shit retard, Lucas' ideas for the OT changed between movies. That's how stories go>Lando was supposed to be a clone, and he mentions how there's not many clones around after the Clone Wars In early ANH publications Stormtroopers were mentioned to be clones, which was what Lucas adapted into the Republic Clone Army. In the novel Palpatine was revealed as the manipulated Emperor and that was tweaked in ESB, RotJ and the PT>which would also fit with it being called the Clone Wars: the PT conflict would make more sense to be called the Separatist War or the Droid Wars, since that's what the Republic was actually fighting againstNo. This is retarded. Is WWII called "the Axis War"? Is the American Revolutionary War called "the British War"? It's called the Clone Wars because the conflict heavily revolved around the new Clone Army which got mass media coverage.

How classist and sneering is your character to other social classes? Does your character view peasants like filth, or anyone not scholar like an uneducated vermin, or nobles like tyrannical parasites, or sees settled, urban people, as soft and stagnant?

>>97828161it's a light game. not as elegant as knizias, but only a bit harder to teach. you go fast by matching a bunch of symbols together from up to three cards from your hand, plus one from a shared crowd card. there are a number of suits with abilities like cornering, healing, and attacking. whenever you take an action in a suit you advance its skill marker. depending on the crowd's whims you have opportunities to advance the skill marker double. once the skill markers start landing in the bonus zones, your speed when you take those moves gets much much stronger. it turns a game of simple hand optimization into constant tough value judgements of when to prioritize upgrades over your current position. there's not a ton of player interaction, but the mind games around when to shield from attacks and using whips to maximum effect based on position do enough for mevery timeless vibe and plenty thematic for my tastes
