>>98524077The description for Hyper Absorption is a bit weird. I guess the permanent absorption is limited to once powerset, not a single ability, since right before it does say powers plural.
Charisma should not be the primary "casting" nor "martial" stat of any class but it should always be useful and worth pumping points into, if not even focusing on entirely. It would make dumping or pumping or just keeping charisma even a rather valid choice for both a warrior or a caster. A mage for instance could use their charisma to bolster their illusion spells or to make their use of fireballs more terrifying and a martial could be a commander of other droogs or a leader of thieves and such. There is something inherently onions about just using your sheer power of rizz as a direct battery rather than using it as a supplement to your other abilities. That is why you get all of these fruity 5efag classes that use their charisma for every fucking thing. On a materialist (Philosophical) manner this is simply giving theatre kids an excuse to be nothing but rizzers who are feeble retarded fools but they are also good at dancing! Like every other 5e character. Hell, like most 3.5 characters as well.
>>98508124That may be the fault of him using the diplomacy skill rather than the bluff skill. The bluff skill has some modifiers based on what exactly you are trying to get someone to believe, which can be GM-judged reasonably (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/bluff.htm), while the diplomacy skill is purely about altering hostility/obedience. He shouldn't have been using the diplomacy skill unless he was trying to alter someone's hostility/obedience to him, anything which has to do with facts or arguments would likely use bluff.
>>98508344NTA but your strawman is actually a correct indictment of other D&D-like games which just treat combat as a pass/fail test rather than an event which occurs in the world and is modified by circumstances beyond how good at fighting your character is. 3.5 mitigates this by including a bunch of modifiers for your accuracy based on locations and other circumstances, but this is insufficient and also significantly limited by the use of a d20 additive system rather than a d100 system with both linear modifiers and nested probabilities (3.5 at least has concealment and incorporeality), and my ideal combat system would require every attack to be a called shot, although even if the attack hits, it might not necessarily hit the targeted location if the location is really small (essentially, to-hit rolls would be a 2d matrix with rows for where you aimed, columns for the die roll, and entries for where you actually hit, some of which would be empty, and which would also have rock-paper-scissors elements like Bunnies & Burrows, Arduin's brawl system, or OD&D's psionic combat system).And don't recommend GURPS like a reddit faggot, GURPS isn't actually exclusively simulationist, it is just a really detailed 3d6 narrative system which allows you to run a game in any crossover of genres, including genres that might incidentally require more detail in some areas. GURPS is the rule of cool/rule of genre savviness as a game. I think it is possible that claims of GURPS being simulationist are deliberately used to dismiss any suggestions of increased simulationism in games that actually have an implied setting and genre, even if most of the suggestions actually existed in prior editions of D&D or spinoffs of them.
>>98514565>>98514584>>98515861Embarrassing
>>98507130Charisma should not exist in any ROLEPLAYING gameThe entire game is talking with NPCs, being able to actually talk with them shouldn't be locked behind a stat or a skill or anything unless the system is flexible enough that John Fightman, Sneaky McDicks and Casterio the Caster all have ways of convincing people
>>98507130You probably want to have generic battle actions for every stat. Say:STR for normal attacks CON for reducing damage actively.DEX for moving and attacking or tumbling aroundINT for sheltering yourself or pointing weak pointsWIS to counter better attacks that have already been use in the fightCHA to give bonuses to other characters by saying "Go tiger" or whatever and intimidate to give penalties to enemies.
Happy 810nicle Day, everyone! Been too long since we had one of these, so I decided to fix that! This is a thread for the discussion of Bionicle tabletop games, both in terms of the setting and the mechanics of it all. There are three links below, in order, Masks of Destiny, the Red Star Games site with multiple systems, including a war game one (among other things), and an in-development system called Kanohi & Cryoshell. If you’re familiar, what are the pros and cons of each one?https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kHy5h1wMyjFXOmV656zLruSphkAYpBPK?usp=share_linkhttps://www.redstargames.org/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nH2YLRWp4FHFwVcVo-lly6D0jm5c3-898rfTBDCzCgc/Thread Questions: >What was your favorite arc of Bionicle and why? And do you prefer G1 or G2, and again why? I’m a fan of the classic original Toa designs so it’s the original setting’s Mata Nui arc for me.>If you heard that they were making a Generation 3 of Bionicle, what would be your hopes for it? I’d like to see if the Generations exist in the same multiversal framework as each other, just imagine the crossover potential!
>>98483992What are your favorite Kanohi outside of the big names like the Mask of Life or Mask of Time? I’m a big fan of the Mask of Flight, because why wouldn’t you want to fly, and it’s a big advantage.

>>98517122Can you check and share the downloaded STL with us if the link expired, please?Not gonna lie Bionicle is an example of "no humans" settings done right. Yeah it had some human cultures, but it still did the no humans universe concept right. Mostly because they are cool mechanical robots that house some organics last I checked. I have the Makuta's Guide to the Universe somewhere where Matoro's thoughts were racing through his head somewhere.

>>98517424TC basically shat on people who were Christian or "right-wing" trying to please the "woke left." Then are shocked that they didn't like that and left calling them out, which was funny as the woke even went after for some shit they did in their lore and all. Also their world building was pretty shit and people been calling it out as tumblr AU fanfic bad. Which didn't help they just ended up saying their was no canon and everyone can be right.They also had bad 3d models with resin traps, late books, and basically went back on not being like GW and went full GW the first chance they got.

>>98525073I started playing at the age of nine in 1982, and played through the entire '80s, and on and off in the '90s (forever DM). My group and other groups I observed always utilized alignments, but how consistently a DM enforced adhering to one's alignment lest one's character suffer penalties wasn't universal, maybe because it wasn't common for players to radically change their character's behavior from what I witnessed, but that's anecdotal, and I'd be interested to hear if anyone out there experienced the opposite, back then.
>>98525073>It remained pretty consistent through out all the OSR editions.Remember, though, that there are a lot of us still playing who never "revived" / "renaissance-d" anything as we kept playing the '70s and '80s editions from back then up to today. So there is probably a divide of "old-school" play that cuts along generation lines.
>>98515059If younger people played in a game I DM'd, they'd definitely get an authentic '80s-style experience, though not "the" authentic one, as anyone who played back then would attest that there wasn't a ubiquitous way of playing or interpreting/implementing rules in that time except for maybe at cons or the back room of local hobby/comic book shops.
>>98515059I remember guys back then who said they only play Chaosium or I.C.E. games or whatever publisher, so the OSR should be reviving and retrocloning way more games and game styles from that time, as well.

Implications of using this as a resolution system?
>>98504512>Congrats, you somehow made a worse resolution mechanic than 1d20.That would be all of them, d20 reigns supreme.
>>98504512this is a good system if you have the brain of a gambling addict, though
that kinda looks like the side profile of a boob
>>98517525Hence why I called it worse than 1d20.>>98517509It's only worth using if you want full randomness. If you want a system with skills, stats, or any other form of mechanical investment into checks to have those investments matter at all, you want 2d10, maybe 3d6 depending on the modifiers.I've done this math before. With no modifiers, 2d10 loses to 3d6 and 1d20. 1d20 immediately loses this edge when you introduce modifiers, with 3d6 being the most consistent and 2d10 being second-most consistent.If your system is going to use anything other than a flat roll with no modifiers, you don't want a d20. You want multiple dice, either 2d10 or 3d6 (unless you're doing roll-under in which case that changes things of course). This ensures that investments players make into their characters are worth the cost, because they have a greater impact on the dice rolled.A D20 spits in the face of that and says "Your fighter with a +10 to hit? That doesn't matter, a peasant can hit you just as hard.".
>>98524044>I've done this math before.>most consistentConsistency has a distinct definition in the field of statistics, and it has little to do with RPG dice mechanics. It means that given more samples, you converge to a true value. In RPGs, there is no true value and the sample size of rolls is low, often just 1.

Although nothing stops you from rooting for the corporations, snd playing as people crushing leftists.Someone's gotta play the bad guy so those who want to be the underdog heroes can be the underdog heroes.It grinds my gears when people think that wanting to play the "bad guys" of any setting somehow reflects that a person might be the bad guy.

Especially after they take the original good group and make them bad in some bad retcon just so they can make a new main good group who would be better off as villains who just think they're the good guys.

>>98524486Really what STL makers deserve some money for their good work? I would like suggestions, please.>second the wga, esp if you have the gone stuffI gotta evacuate my phone's files onto PC. Problem is my current PC is busted and the owner of the PC I'm using I share living space with is stingy about what gets downloaded to his PC from adblock to anything.And winzip isn't opening. So I can't inspect the STLs to see if I mislabeled some somehow or if they are shit.But so far I know the Les Grognards cavalry got removed and the "The Damned" Stls got removed too. I would like those unsupported and supported. There's also a cults3D that remakes warmachines from animes as STLs and the (last I checked) 2K priced Canadian money amount is a bit much to buy them all so I don't know any buygroups that are trustworthy or whether all of the guy's stuff has been archived.To find these places one just is supposed to ask in the general chats of the respective sea sailing app channel, right?
Anons I am in dire need of helpful means of finding or even being linked some STL file recreations of the 28mm human 40k imperial guard shoulderpads like pic related.The plastic Krieg ones and the 2022 Cadian (with kneepad) shoulderpads.Every search yields a sea of space marine shoulderpads and it hurts.
>>98524632I have madrobotminiature shoulderpads. Those things go on nearly everything from MRM shoulderpads to AnvilIndustry and I think even the Kromlech Imperial Guard chainsword arms even though those have shoulderpads. Is there any way to measure the concave, convex, and curvature aspect of those shoulderpads to remake them but in the shape of the Cadian shoulderpads?AnvilIndustry has shoulderpads too and I think some in STL form, but I'm not sure if those will work as a starting point.

The only cuck here is you, someone who'd give up something they enjoy because they can only play things that are Muh Actively Supported(tm), constantly spoonfed, and the thought of curating and managing your own hobby terrifies and confuses you.

>>98524386>Is there a reason that derangements are incurable by Solar medicine, other than some "Muh mental illness is muh identity" troon bullshit?Soul stuff probably, in-character. Rather than troon bullshit, it's anti-troon bullshit, because souls exist and derangements are flaws, curses, and destabilizing elements in them. It's detectably not just personality traits, so it goes against the agenda, even if the devs didn't realise that.Also, can't you just turn it down to Minor with Wholeness-Restoring Meditation? There shouldn't be a problem at minor. Derangements don't naturally get worse just like they don't naturally get better, and minor derangements are just the equivalent of a minor intimacy and need you to botch a Willpower roll to have any other effect, which is unlikely to say the least (and you can just spend Willpower on the wp roll if you don't want to fail). It's barely even a personality quirk at that point, and W-RM can turn it down to actually zero so long as you keep treating symptoms you really really really care.The only situation I can see where Wholeness-Restoring Meditation doesn't make this no longer a problem is if the Derangement was made by that one sorcerous initiation in Scarred by Nightmares, in which case bad luck you're fucked and the player literally asked for it.If you STILL want it gone... go grab a Dragonblood with Chaos-Banishing Revelation Gesture.>>98524493It sounds like the issue is that your Twilight player cares, more than that the Twilight cares.
