>I feel this unit is too exploitable as it is to keep rules as written, especially within the spanish book.
I see what you mean with wordings, but I don't think these problems are anything a rule or two couldn't fix. It's not a mechanically complex unit outside of choosing which special rule you want on deployment.
>Joke Rule Name That I Haven't Thought of Yet:
This unit only counts as having been killed once all three inquisitors are dead. Only one inquisitor per turn may rally.

Going to put a Neo Atlantis engineer unit on the backlog since them having one would make sense with their advanced shit, and would help reduce the lack of them >>97896078 mentioned.

Just gotta work on everything else first while dealing with the misery that is IRL.

Also, fucking bad gateway errors. Fix your damn servers, Hiroshimoot.

On the topic of everything else, I'm trying to think of ideas on how to write the rise of Neo Atlantis, as well as figuring out a real name for the head honcho behind it all. Dunno when I'll figure it out, so I'm open to suggestions.

The only one I've gotten so far is "what if this is a certain pale stranger's indirect fault" but even if I use that it doesn't really give a direction, only a possible seed

The Thran and The Brothers War are great. Prequel/beginning of the artifacts cycle and also the best in that series. Covers the rise of Yawgmoth and Urza vs Mishra.

Ice Age cycle (The Gathering Dark, Eternal Ice, Shattered Alliance) I loved in high school. Jodah and Jaya Ballard are fun to read.

Chainer's Torment is my favorite, great story and you can treat as a self contained novel if you want. Chainer and Kamahl are bros.

>>97892324
Not the best but I think the weatherlight crew is overhated. The rath stuff is good and Mercandian Masques is a fun fish out of water adventure. Invasion block is sadly proto avengers endgame despite being good in game.

>>97895116
Challenges are a good mechanic in theory imo, the writers of 3.0 just got completely lost in the fucking sauce and overcomplicated the shit out of it for very little real gain.

>>97895050
Eh, I dont think turn based scoring is the root of the problem. My friends and I have been playing with homebrew missions that include some with turn-based scoring for like years now and its great. The real issue is more that 40k rulebook missions have just always been utter trash. In 4th and 5th I think every mission is just the same "move your units on to the objective at the very last turn and you win lol". 6th edition only had one single good mission, the relic. The rest were trash.
>all that matters is if you were standing on it when the battle is over
If it helps you theme the mission, its easy to explain away as some sort of time critical thing like a data uplink, or AA emplacements, where by the end of the battle its too late. I actually think its the opposite, where holding objectives at the end of the last turn is harder to theme. It needs you to make up some event that brings about the end of the fight, and unless that involves annihilation of the enemy forces as part of the theme its a little hard to rationalize why everyone just stopped fighting.

But, I think even worse is when you combine progressive scoring with fixed turn length. Being able to calculate that you have lost by the half way point is super lame. A combination of random game length and both sorts of missions is best.

>>97895746
I've found a good way to run progressive scoring objectives is to give each objective a set points value which 'drains' as points are granted to a player. So whichever player holds it each turn earns 10% of its VP value and whoever hols it at the end of the game gets what's left. It encourages fights early to take as much from the objectives as you can but also rewards the player holding one the end of the game with big vp boosts to help prevent foregone conclusions.

>>97895839
>hybrid approach, mine more minerals
Thats a really cool sounding mission actually. And I think it just goes to show that there are multiple ways to go about the problem and none of them are inherently bad. Variety is really the way you want to go here because it means you cant lock in a winning strategy (read list building) to bring to the table every time. 10th edition has like 11 missions, but all but 2 of them are just classic capture point with some lame twist.
Ive got a pretty rounded selection of missions that encourage all styles of play. I think this just goes a long way towards keeping the game fun and interesting.

One of the more harmful changes in modern 40k I think is OC. I think having a tie state is very important, and having weakened units be capable of doing so keeps their importance up which is fun for gameplay.

Along a similar lines, an approach I take (which is built to encourage well balanced armies) is that you build the table, build your list, roll for mission, place objectives, and then roll for deployment type. I find this is a great way to end up with balanced scenarios. Knowing what the table looks like before you list build means no one feels like they get too shafted, but not knowing the exact mission parameters keeps you from being able to min-max too hard.

2E

I want to play the typical commissar with sword (mace) and pistol, I’m going to play commander, but it seems like it isn’t built for dual-wielding, we’re going to use starfinder firearms because the 2e ones suck, but still not sure how reloading is going to work with two full hands. Also, for aesthetic, I really don’t like putting the banner on a small one-handed weapon, I’m thinking of picking Plant Banner just for looks, but then that’s a whole other problem with feats.
Any suggestions?

>>97895771
2nd edition just added "3 Kobolds in a Trench Coat" ancestry
https://2e.aonprd.com/Heritages.aspx?ID=433

So I'm thinking of doing an evil campaign in a custom setting for PF2E. I have access to the monster book 1 right now, will be getting 2 later. How should I handle do gooder parties. Scour the books for a low level of that class and use those abilities on a generic splat page. Or could I just roll characters for them to go up against in pathbuilder and use that. How OP would the second option be, I think that would be more fitting for a boss or his LT.

When Sunblaze went to discuss the plan with Senna that evening, he was surprised to discover she could remove the primal skull that moved so organically when worn. He’d always recognized her voice, but could never place who she was. Before him stood Serena, a high priestess from the capital who had been on sabbatical. Obviously self conscious of her bald head and scarified runes, she spoke sadly.
>My beauty was the price I paid.
Ultimately, bringing Senna to the cave would end up a simple process. All she would need is a decent cloak, boots, and gloves to hide her skin and face, and probably a reliable escort for everyone's protection. Otherwise she could, within reason, come and go as she pleased. The bigger issue with the plan was distracting Autumn for long enough while coordinating the two different philosophies of magic.

Skogsrå laid upon the branch watching out over the forest. Beneath her wandered her new curiosity while she watched the smoke rising from the city in the distance. She knew Dahlia couldn't join her whenever she pleased from the discussions they'd had in the past, and was content to wait. The elves were burning the dead her daughters had brought them and she looked forward to learning why they wanted to do so.

The funeral pyre was a frightening sight and practice to the brays. The few that watched did so from a great distance. Röst, however, made a concerted effort to be seen joining in with the procession. She needed to show both sides that they were both civil. Rost and Corun still garnered distrustful glares and snide remarks, but they were lowering in frequency.

There is no 'WE' in any house of Tremere I can say for certain, but there is a 'MINE-MINE-MINE' of whoever sired you.

All derives from the arrogance of Goratrix and Tremere however, and considering the literary one-handed-symphony they so often produced... That is believable. Tracking with the pattern of 'rehabilitating' the Gifts of the 'low-graced and spiritually desolate' clans. Even now, the House of Goratrix detest the Tzimsce, as much as the Gangrel, Ravnos, and Nosforatu.

The million metaphorical paper-cuts I've endured since my embrace have given me no love of the Antribu, nor the original House of Tremere who seem to replace sadism with control issues. Which is why I have decided to peel myself away from the idiocy of the Tribu and Antribu and climb atop a mountain.

just take the anima: beyond fantasy pill and implement both
attack roll vs defense roll
attack < defense, you miss; enemy might counterattack with bonus based off roll result difference
attack > defense but attack < defense + armor you hit, make the target flinch (hence lose the turn) but cause no damage
attack > defense + armor, you cause damage based off the difference between both rolls
there are also creatures which don't defend but rather are hp sponges; those can't flinch and lose the turn under normal circumstances

>>97895682
>attack < defense, you miss; enemy might counterattack with bonus based off roll result difference
As long as it isn't Shadowrun style where entering melee can get you killed on your own turn

The game is alright. You clearly put a lot of time into it, but it's just another fantasy game. It doesn't have a good hook or unique mechanic.

If you're going to sell it then you have to give me a reason to play your game, because right now you're just Pathfinder with less content.
