>>97171276Why would he think he's being treated as an idiot?
>>97171276>I think Jian would be up for with it as long as he’s not being treated as an idiot or anything. 1 is meant to be average for a cultivator, last time I checked.Yeah, they're also cultivators, so they're smarter than average by default. But it's definitely not him treating him as an idiot, he wouldn't do that even if he was 0.>Jian’s more creative than he is logical, which I guess is more Skill relatedPersonally I'd say creativity is related to innovation and profession perks, then both skill, intelligence, and perception, since the former is related to elevating and creating techniques while the latter is making and creating treasures, which also needs creativity.>I know you’re more of an artist than a scientist, but why don’t we try this today?Well it's not a science thing, I'd say. Intelligence is abstraction, comprehension, and strategy, and the game is more about that. It's also not intended as "you're stupid" or even as "you're lacking", it's more so "mental exercise is useful and will help you excel." It's needed for techniques too after all.
>>97171302Oh, and also memory, which is one of the main components.
>>97171276>Although, how aware are our characters of their (and each other’s) OOC stats?Forgot to answer this, I need to go to sleep. You can probably gauge via a mixture of a high perception stat and general familiarity you have with the person in question.

Sorry for effortposting your Friday1. What systems have you found that have made combat engaging?2. What do you think is a satisfying duration for most fights? Over quickly? Or minimal resolution (followed by optional exposition)3. Do you find a sort of "bidding" of dice (such as in Riddle of Steel and her derivatives) fun? Or do you prefer the dice that you roll to be fairly consistent/static in their outcomes?4. Do you find "maneuvers"- like in Mythras- fun? Do you find that tracking a number of maneuvers grinds combat resolution down too slowly? What about a sort of freeform ability to spend "bonus success" on maneuvers (sort of "fiction first")?I'm thinking about my system. It's very inspired by Mythras, Forbidden Lands, and Riddle of Steel but I'm unsatisfied with it. I'd like to really look at the fundamentals- the statistics, the base mechanics, the speed of resolving each round- before tacking on additional details. Right now, I have attacker declaring an attack and defender declaring a reaction (dodge, parry, or block with shield), rolling a dice pool (attribute+professional rank+gear bonus) and comparing successes. Extra successes are spent on dealing more damage or performing maneuvers. I'm curious if anyone here has experiences in systems that they've found particularly fun, fast, engaging, and place a lot of decision pressure on the player (to replicate- in a way- the stress of combat)
>>97170473as for the broad concepts for design, i think ive said it all indirectly already. a system should play fast so you can have more game per hour, but obviously "game" is a measure of mechanical depth. so we want to have the simplest possible resolution mechanics that offer the maximum possible ammount of emergent complexity(game depth * resolution speed) = game played per hour the art then is engineering a system that produces the emergent properties you actually want, then whittling it down to its simplest possible form to make it easily playable for a humanAlso if you have enough budget left over you should try to make it fun
>>97170077>no need for flowery prose for the fight itself[ANGRY EXALTED NOISES]
>>97170048>What systems have you found that have made combat engaging?My own. First was my Halo TTRPG, but I suspect that's more the GM being good about enemy positioning and forcing us in turn to do the same. I haven't had a chance to test it but I have a Sonic the Hedgehog TTRPG where, to keep the pace up, a lot of Actions are also Reactions, consuming Actions from your next Turn to allow combat to move quicker.>What do you think is a satisfying duration for most fights? Over quickly? Or minimal resolution (followed by optional exposition)Ideally, 3-5 rounds at most. It's a good mix of fun combat without it taking all day.>Do you find a sort of "bidding" of dice (such as in Riddle of Steel and her derivatives) fun? Or do you prefer the dice that you roll to be fairly consistent/static in their outcomes?Not my cup of tea. I generally prefer dicepools for combat, fixed rolls for skills and other stuff. I like player investments to matter heavily either way though.>Do you find "maneuvers"- like in Mythras- fun? Do you find that tracking a number of maneuvers grinds combat resolution down too slowly? What about a sort of freeform ability to spend "bonus success" on maneuvers (sort of "fiction first")?I'm unfamiliar, but I think that having more options is never bad, but using all of your options at once being optimal is a slog. Basically, have the depth there for players who want to engage with it, but if you just want to play a beatstick, you should be able to do that and succeed too.
>>97170048Idk, but my totally original donut steel way of doing things is gaining dice on good positioning or where there'd be an advantage to roll against a target number on shooting and a contested roll for melee. Having something that lines up the actual action that enables the player to manipulate the outcome means the action is more engaging due to player input. That also means the entire process of decision, action, result, has a bigger player fingerprint.
>>97170048>1. What systems have you found that have made combat engaging?I don't mind systems like D&D, PF, DC20, ACKS, C&C, "X" without Number, Veiled Riders2. What do you think is a satisfying duration for most fights? Over quickly? Or minimal resolution (followed by optional exposition)I prefer less over the top where it's roll to see if you hit/succeed (GM rolling to counter) and how much you do/what you do should be the baseline over 10 rolls for combat. I can see 3-5 rolls for crafting or long stuff. Especially for something that takes more than one session to do. However you should be able to have your +/-X added to your roll as then roll again to see how much you do. Not a back and forth for 3 mins rolling to see if you even do something.>3. Do you find a sort of "bidding" of dice (such as in Riddle of Steel and her derivatives) fun? Or do you prefer the dice that you roll to be fairly consistent/static in their outcomes?I can see cases for both. It all depends on the group, GM, and type of "adventure" the group is going for.>4. Do you find "maneuvers"- like in Mythras- fun? Do you find that tracking a number of maneuvers grinds combat resolution down too slowly? What about a sort of freeform ability to spend "bonus success" on maneuvers (sort of "fiction first")?I like the idea of them and think they can be very fun, especially when it help counter minmaxers and let's martials classes have more to do than "I attack 1-4 times."

Dunk On 'Em Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/Comment too long.

>>97169805I do think the real answer would be 'they're all different'.My assumption is "gross body, divine look". So they would have halos or stigmata or they project an aura of purity, but they're misshapen or skinless or obese or all the above.
>>97167730I think they went with the idea that since players are expected to have public warband lists, and since campaigns would have them probably changing equipment all the time, you aren't expected to WYSIWYG with the equipment and so they just went with a few nice-looking options.

Legitimate question: in Pathfinder 1e, how optimal is the Thassilonian Magic "archetype" for Wizards?To refresh memories, a Thassilonian Mage takes the Focused School of Magic mechanic (specifically Abjuration, Conjuration, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy, Transmutation) with the following tweaks:>Still gets all level-based class abilities tied to their chosen Focus School.>Gets +2 spell slots per spell level.>Those bonus spell slots can ONLY be used to memorize 2 copies of the same spell, which MUST be from your Focus School.>You absolutely CANNOT learn any spells from two schools based on your chosen Focus School, just like an old-school Specialist Wizard.>Even trying to use magic items tied to your forbidden schools is impossible unless you pass a Use Magic Device check first.The idea behind the Thassilonian Mage is that you sacrifice versatility to become more powerful in your focused school of magic, but does it actually work? What do you think, anons?
>>97170296Just choose an overpowered school and you'll get all the benefits of a specialist plus some extra. You can even get around the only annoying limitation with Use Magic Device, so it's not even a problem.
>>97170296Only as optimal as the school.So evocation is buns, conujuration is balling.
Since coming across Maximum Mike's advice in the Cyberpunk 2020 core book to roll Awareness/Notice checks before the session starts and make a table from the results, I've taken it into all of my games moving forward. Now I find myself staring down the barrel of a 3.5 campaign, having never run or played that shit before, and I see the 3.0 DMG has similar advice on page 17.I've made myself a very simple "DM's Log Sheet" that includes a basic combat tracker on the bottom and a pre-session skill check table at the top. Am I missing anything else that could be helpful on a sheet like this? I've also got a very basic NPC character sheet that I made myself which allows me to track their motivations and attitudes.
>>97170296You just take Conjuration of Transmutation and fuck everyone in the ass. You can do the same shit in 3.5 with Master Specialist into Red Wizard.
Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you? Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?>inb4 I don't because I'm not a faggut, hurr durr
>>97139776I like the mental image of making and playing a girl. I don't care what others think.
>>97164532Ironically, anon, sentencing yourself to a lifetime of misery for the benefit of others who will never know or thank you is the height of what it means to be a real man. You suffer so that others might not. Good for you.

>>97139776I have made 2.5 female PCs. The first one was a Sister of Battle because playing power armored zealots is fun. The ".5" was a second SoB PC because I did not get to play the first one the way I wanted to and her "sister" was just a do-over.The other female PC is my most recent one. I was given a chance to retire a long running PC in a way that achieved his goals. The new PC is his wife (who he thought he had murdered... it's complicated) and one reason I wanted to play her was it gave me the chance to take over the old characters assets but play a character using them in a very different way and with a very different end game. Pulling his wife out of his narrated past was a perfect way to do this. The husband was a preserver of the status quo, the wife will be a complete shit disturber and I look forward to it.
