Last post before I head to sleep, but perhaps if the spell resistance is removed from temporal shield (leaving it with just "no hp damage" and "freedom of movement") it may be suitable as more of an 8th level spell after all.

Nature's Warrior can with one of the armaments. I'm sure there are other ACFs and PrCs that allow this. Maybe I'll look into it later

Similarly, the Kensai can choose a natural weapon to grant his enhancement bonus to. I don't believe an Occult Slayer can choose a natural weapon for his weapon bond, unless there is some obscure way to grant masterwork properties to a natural weapon.

It has the same issue as every other variant rule though, it's fucking worthless after level 3-to-5 depending on optimization level.

That's just a quirk of Sora in general. Unless you very specifically prompt which direction a character is facing, they'll always face the viewer. Sometimes it'll still have them face the viewer even if you tell it not to.

Similarly, Sora really resists any attempt to have a distorted face, which is why the "grimlock slaves" aren't eyeless despite the prompt requesting that.

>>97227804
Never got into it but it's good to hear that the idea is out there at least.

Can an Alchemical whose become a city use Synthesis of Divine Affiliation? Asking because the idea of turning a bunch of Matropoli/Patropoli into a giant robot is cool.

>>97227780
and then it says that different backgrounds experience greater difficulties, not that such a thing is flat out impossible.

>"Lore in 3e requires you to focus on a subject the Lore is in, and allows or forbids rolls based on that,

That's only half right though, seeing as how you can use your lore for other things besides just what your subject is. It's not like craft where you have several types of craft, basically.

I don't get why it's so hard to get some in game examples of these things in action.

Actually I do have agricola and have played it some. Its good. Now that I think of it you're right and its an early newschool mps game. I've previously felt that the action economy is tight enough that it has enough meaningful indirect player interaction to belong in to this vague category of transitional period games where I place stuff like hansa teutonica, power grid or concordia. But yeah that is incorrect and actually agricola is early newschool and Uwe is probably the pinnacle of mps.

Okay, instead of just best mps I think im looking for a newer newschool mps, you know whats the best game in the vein of I dont know, terraforming mars and uhh wingspan? I looked into the previous anons recommendation of imperium: horizons and it seems very interesting.

How do they play ? are they more of a aggro team or do they just hide in their tunnel and do missions mostly ?

hard to discribebut they mostly play passive aggro. practically like traps. if som,ething comes to close to the tunnel. they seem durable but mostly aren't. so hit n run tactics are a must.

Hey anons, A friend of mine has his birthday coming up and he's been using crappy cheap synthetic brushes up until now. I want to get him some nice brushes, but the problem is that he's vegan and has been for like 10 years, so sable is a no-go.
After doing some digging on my own, i found W&N make "Synthetic Sable" brushes, and monument hobbies make their Pro Synthetics, but I've not used either and don't know if they're any good.
Anyone here got any recommendations for good synthetics that don't hook after an hour of use?

>>97228498
The AK quick gen special brush is really good but it’s also very cheap so not very fitting for a present. A couple of those would last a while.

>one damned cigarette
I can't have a cigarette, I could smoke a pack but my dead lungs don't work. Even if I force blood in them it won't absorb the nicotene, it won't make my brain pulse, because my brain is dead.

How the fuck does a dead man smoke cigarettes. I hang outside clubs, hopign to smell that stink, to find that vixen, that one who's too drunk and smoking too much when its too cold with no jacket. Fuck I want to breath in that stink, but instead I wait. The drunk are easy, just wait. They'll make a mistake. And there it is, she stumbled left, she left the crowd, she only has one cig left and I am left carrying her. Just around the corner , out of sight, out of ear shot. It only takes a moment, I run my hands over it, my nose over it. That smell, that ashy burnt smell, I bite. It's a foundational issue. Why did you put one cigarette at the bottom. Why do I need just
> One last cigarette
Forever.

I turn her around, I bring her back. I recognize her friends, I've been following their smell, it's not the first time. I should just stop. I'm a dead thing, I don't need this. But my head aches for it, my blood sings for it. I put my ciggie back in it's pack. They carry her away. They laugh about how trashed she gets. Her head lols on their shoulder and for a moment, unknown to the rest. Our eyes meet.
>She winks

I exhale, I can finally get about my night. I finally feel that pressure in my head let up, I feel not alive but ready to put up with all the bullshit and all the clowns, my circus of corpses. Fuck. I should really quit smoking.

>>97222828
>I don't want to benefit from someone else being in thralldom. Only reason I can tolerate this is a bond is somehow better than the default Malk mental package and I refuse to treat her like a thrall.
Oh, I don't mean it like that, babes! Not into that sort of slavery myself, comes with the Tremere turf to not like it overmuch.
I meant more, she got a good reading for questions relating to how well her bondage would go. She'd benefit from it, in some way - and she's liking it. That means that the bondage will perhaps continue for a decent while, to good results; and that means that you, yourself, are probably not going to suddenly die tomorrow. Can't be bound to a pile of ash, now can she.
Inferring good things for yourself out of readings for other people is a fine art, where you've got to balance an urge to see yourself not die horribly with realism and a bit of skepticism. This, I think, definitely leans towards a justifiable good reading for you, all in all. So you benefit.

>>97224898
>I was making fun of my sire nagging me, British accent and all that...
Oh, I can tell, I just wanted to scold you a little. I don't get to call people bat-babies very often.
And your resistance thing is fun! Not sure if it's actually real or you all are just insane and are knee-deep in interwoven blood bonds, but I have heard about blood bond resistance, even if mostly through third- and fourth-hand studies and that relative I mentioned who is all about the fucking vitae ranting on and on about the bonds.
>Which do you think is freakier, guys, this resistance, or being intentionally blood bond to your childe?
Oh, easily the latter. The former is just a quirk of the curse, the latter is most probably some sort of fetish, or a bit of masochistic penance. Definitely freaky.

>Do they know you expect them to do mapping?
Better yet, or worse.
OP expected his players to 'map the area', and clearly hasn't given them a dungeon map.

If he had given them a map, or even just drawn out the shapes on a notepad, this entire thing wouldn't be an issue.

OP is not only a shit GM, but expecting his players to correctly visualize a complex 3d space by verbal description alone, and is getting mad that they fail to intuitively recognize that they've been in a space between two points.

>>97206676
Yes the riddle is easy even without making the connection from nitz to knights which is retarded to begin with because you indicate a short sound i. Make it Nitez or shit. Why would that entire retarded setup even exist? If you don't want your players lockpicking a door don't add a door or add a lethal trap as if someone actually protected that room. A set of reinforced bars with no obvious way in would make the existence of a hidden door near the statues even clearer.

You are reinforcing a behavior on your players that will make them less likely to engage with the riddle anyway. If they wanna use an ability that they chose to learn, in a way that makes sense, don't "gotcha" them with retarded roadblocks. Instead change the challenge. They wanna bash the door in? Now they have to find a way to banish the guardian ghost. They wanna lockpick it? Now they have to deal with a lethal roomtrap. Did they overcome either of them? Now they "earned" their entry by going ahead with the method they chose and have a sense of accomplishment for 'outsmarting' the dm or feel like their character was useful because the way they built it added to the progress of the story.

Once inside you can have them accidentally notice the hidden mechanism and everyone will have a good time about how obvious it was and how they managed to miss it.

Stop being a "no" dm and start being a "yes but..." dm

Gonna be real with you, OP, I would be your kryptonite, because puzzles that have to follow a specific logic you have to understand by somehow presuming the mindset of the DM is the bane of my existence due to how many DMs are not as clever as they think they are, and I suspect your players felt the same way

Divine handler was awful in 2014 and removing it was objectively a good thing because now you actually have room for less goody goody aasimar
The reason they're less popular is because visually they're perfect humans
Tiefling are varied, they're hot, they're flawed, they have narrative hooks in their lower plane connection, they have media hooks in the form of characters like Karlach, Woljif, Kalikke, and Kanerah (and indirectly characters like rimworld impids and that girl from dispatch who are visually similar)

An excerpt.

“Now just take a moment to imagine what it must be like to be in his position. Here he stands at the end of time. He’s an immortal cyborg superhuman. He possesses all the secrets of the universe. He’s created at least one universe to help bend this one to his own ends. He may as well be a god himself. And after everything he has accomplished, after learning every last secret Reynolds has hidden on the technology tree, he still has to humble himself before an alien god and beg to be spared.”

“We’ve already seen how he values the acquisition of knowledge above all else. It’s literally baked into the game as his favorite Social Engineering choice. It is thus perfectly fitting that when he is finally forced to make his prostrations, his offering is the sum total of the datalinks themselves. This is a beautiful image; it works on every literary level.”

Last time I used the setting with GURPS, it was spring '19 and we played a campaign set in late early game, basically making bunch of recon missions and light skirmishes (Morganites and Miriam). We played as Gaians, we rolled a copter as the content of the very first pod we were tasked to examine and retreive, so a fuckload of Captain Planet jokes followed now that we had a flying recon vehicle. GM meanwhile simply generated random world and used that for our campaign map.
We moved to using Ubiquity for SMAC right before covid, the crunch fits much better and allows to acknowledge equipment and its quality/advancement, while being far more aimed toward auto-resolution rather than high probability of success (plus no need to re-calculate 3e source book to 4e mechanics)
