Specifically for 10e which is soon to get rolled over, so buyer beware
>Stealth suits
Spotters that also give rerolls. Slap them down behind ruins and peek one out at a time
>Shadowsun
Reroll aura. Uncommon castling piece.
>Crisis Suits
Deep-strike units with preferred targets. Likely to be traded with opposing units.
>Coldstar/Enforcer Commander
Almost never run alone or with mixed gear. Coldstar gives Assault and 12" move. Enforcer gives always-on Armor of Contempt against shooting. Most give them 4x the gun their Crisis squad has.
>Farsight
Gives bonuses at point-blank, but he's a pet unit.
>Broadsides
Mostly taken for being fairly cheap as a single suit, but often taken in pairs to avoid half-strength rules. Again, weapons have preferred targets. Position them in firing lanes and provide a modicum of deep strike screening. Very slow.

How is the Horus Heresy presented to the plebs? Obviously they know it happened but the existence of traitor marines is a closely guarded secret as is the existence of the ruinous powers. So do they basically get the 2nd edition version when Horus was a mortal general whose Imperial Army troops betrayed the emperor? I know he's generally shown as a dragon being slain by the emperor.

I only mention it because I was going to include a medieval style mystery play and was wondering how far to go propaganda wise i.e having the emperor pushing child Horus on a swing or having his minions on the vengeful spirit being auxila mooks while the emperor is flanked by dudes in foam Imperial Fist outfits etc

You can corrupt the story quite a bit as long as the gist is "emperor good and horus bad". Do some funnies like mix up IF and custodes since both would be yellow or change characters around like angron and magnus being swapped because someone fucked up hard on the record keeping.

>>97188463
To expand more on my suggestion, imagine if nobody on the planet had forbidden lore (horus heresy) and instead relied upon common lore (imperial creed) or scholastic lore (legend) and all the books got rewritten a few times and whoever was in charge of remembering everything to the letter got a few blows to the head in a fight spanned over thousands of years.

Intending on bringing in the Kabal of Crimson Woes from DH1e’s Purge the Unclean. Given how weak they are in that book and how they get no respect in the Expanse I imagine they’re kind of a joke. How can I make them “weak” without making them too comedic? So far I have their Archon wield two Venomblades but with no venom because he just puts his own blood in instead. Came up with it cos I saw someone’s megaedgy DEldar OC have a vampire theme and so I wanted to take the piss out of it.

So something I'm just tossing out there, the Virizid, are only rough Imperial technology(Advanced Space) and their naturally long lived(100~200 years). So if we factor in rejuvenants they could probably live centuries. What if they still haven't mastered warp travel. They just travel through real space because they're in no rush to their destination. They haven't been able to distinguish, AoS humans or the Imperium. During the Great Crusade some Space Marine legion rocked their shit but the Heresy started. Imperial records thought they were effectively genocided but the crusade only reached outer colonies. So Virizid are slowly reclaiming worlds that they lost and they stumble upon the Frontier world and their fleet was armed and ready to engage a much larger force than what was stationed there.

Are there any mech games where the mechs are a sideshow to other vehicles? I like the idea of blowing up mechs with superior conventional vehicles but basically every mech setting ever made exists to justify the opposite of that happening.
98 replies and 7 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>97187425
To a point, but that's also what dozer blades and combat engineers are for. There's definitely something to be said for the amount of piloting skill and training required for a mech to move through woods or rough ground without tripping, and Battletech severely under plays how much damage a 25 ton mech falling over would do, let alone the bigger ones. Every gun would be fucked and out of alignment (at least) and it should definitely not be so easy for them to stand back up, let alone continue to fight. A tank getting stuck is usually a death sentence if there isn't an ARV ready to pull it out, but the turret can still fight, and if it doesn't get blown up it'll be fine once it's freed, where the mech *should* be out of action. However a tank going through trees can very very easily get it's gun instantly wrecked if it hits a hardwood tree any thicker than your wrist and turret gets spun.
Personally, I think a troop of 50 ton tanks with the same weapons as a lance of 50 ton mechs, and equally experienced crew/pilots; the low profile tanks would win against the towering easy targets every time, in a fair fight (which doesn't exist outside games anyway)
>>

Mechs have largely replaced the infantry role in Battletech. Mechs are common and cheap enough that they can spam them in enough numbers to give most of their professional military soldiers mechs.

If you're not interested in either then why force yourself to run it? If they players are really interested then they can run it with you as a player.

I haven't played Daggerheart but I love DS. If you like shit that makes you feel cool and smooth engaging combats I recommend that system heavily. I could talk a lot about the things I like about it.

PC option balance in Draw Steel is okay enough. There are definitely some outliers and "correct" builds.

Forced movement builds completely demolish enemies without high stability, and a hakaan null (metakinetic) is probably the one build with the highest optimization ceiling in the game because of this. Yes, a "monk" shoving people around is as strong as it gets. A good runner-up might be a hakaan fury likewise abusing forced movement, probably with a Hurling weapon for range.

I hope you do not mind some Reddit links, because these two threads cover a hakaan null and a hakaan fury:
https://www.reddit.com/r/drawsteelbuilds/comments/1mulvvi/what_are_your_thoughts_on_a_hakaan_nulls/
https://www.reddit.com/r/drawsteelbuilds/comments/1mwh4p1/the_king_a_reaver_fury_forced_movement_build/

Aside from these, I have noted that virtually every high-optimization party wants a tactician (i.e. warlord), because it allows a party to coordinate their tactics and focus their fire far better than, say, a troubadour (i.e. bard). Similarly, the talent (i.e. psion) has some rather nutty hard control, like level 2 Slow and level 3 Fling Through Time, and its level 1(!) Flashback allows the party to spam some of its better synergies.

Honorable mention goes to the fury's level 2 You Are Already Dead, which can completely blow through a higher-level elite and trivialize it.

only to be struck down again.

Factions are one of the cornerstones of a good dungeon. I'd go as far as to say they may be one of the most important pieces. Without factions, you have nonstop hack-and-slash. Factions enable meaningful player choice and give party faces something to do without trivializing the dungeon.
Why don't modern D&D modules have much faction stuff? Classics like The Caverns of Thracia or B4 the Lost City are packed full of them. Are the people designing current dungeons just talentless morons?

I like the 2D20 system and think this is the best entry game for introducing people to 2D20.

However, as a Fallout game, it's good if you want to emulate Fallout 4 and 76 as a tabletop. If you're looking for something more like the Interplay Fallouts, you're better off with one of the other ones, yeah.
>>
>>97187838
Its dogshit. It expects you to use the game to emulate the explore-loot-craft gameplay loop of the latter fallout games. There are a lot of character mechanics tied into this. The expectation is that GMs are going to use tables to build random encounters, and give the PCs random loot that they can craft and cook into shit. This is a core system.

Those encounter tables aren't included in the core book, they are in a separate 30 dollar GM kit. Aside from being a fucking stupid idea in the first place (people don't want a fallout game so they can live out the dream of looting garbage from empty houses to upgrade their guns), it's poorly implemented ON PURPOSE to force you to buy a separate product. And this is alongside of all the usual editing and layout problems that every single modipheus product has. That company should collectively speed fuck themselves with a hot chunk of rusty rebar, they are the wii-shovelware of the rpg industry.
>>
>>97187838
