>>97248672>Exactly 0% of Combat professionals will miss a shot at point blank range against a target that's standing still. Meanwhile every single D&D character will fail to hit a straw dummy with a stick 5% of the time.NTA but you don't roll an attack to hit a dummy. You don't roll for things that don't have a reasonable chance of failure or success. It's right there in the DMG. Probably in the PHB too and nowhere is it implied that hitting a stationary inanimate object has any chance of failure unless we are taking into account extreme range or low visibility. Even if such conditions exist in the scenario of a shooting range with no distractions you can just use the take 10 rule. I would, and if that wasn't enough I would call for a roll or a take 20 depending on the situation.>Take 10 is only possible if you are not distracted.Yes. Because if you are distracted you can fail, spectacularly even, in things that you wouldn't otherwise. This isn't strange or peculiar. A short distraction can turn your every day drive to work to a fatal car accident. It happens.>Yes they are, they are even given explicit DCsSet DCs don't necessarily imply rolls.>There are also instances like walking across a 2x4 that the average level 1 commoner can't beat even if they take 10In 3.5? I don't think so. They will have to have a dexterity score lower than 10 and there is no RAW to achieve that on average.
>>97248672>Yes it is, the average is 10.5No it isn't, the average is around 13. With either 4d6 drop the lowest(PHB) or point-buy(DMG). Of course if you are using point-buy the average score is meaningless.

I’m running a low fantasy game, and social advancement is gonna be a thing. So the PCs are gonna be rubbing elbows with a lot of noble families as they make their way into high society. I’m just asking for NPCs and ideas.Most of the nobility are humans, but a few are half-elves and halflings.
>>97242977Your idea is as generic and soulless as your photobashed garbage.>>97233040Merchant that can rent out fine furniture and garments for cheap. Handy for down on their luck nobles to keep up the appearance or to impress an important guest. Rumors about their clientele make for fine gossip and while their services helped more than a few people to save their face, secure a deal, or cheat their way into high society they have also been proven to be a downward spirale for others.
>>97251270>If you're aiming for maximum believability, there's almost no way that humans would accept a different species ruling them. They struggle enough with humans of different nationalities ruling them (William of Normandy had to practically burn down England before they stopped revolting at the idea of a Norman King).I will clarify that the half-elven (as in humans with significant elven ancestry) and halfling nobles are mostly ruling over other half-elves/halflings, or areas that have integrated for centuries at this point.
>>97251505Whats wrong with it? It's a classic trope.
>>97242977This looks like shit.

>>97218759By definition, as described under "unarmed attacks" bites count as unarmed attacks, so they qualify for the powerful fist ability."Certain ancestry feats, class features, and spells give access to special, more powerful unarmed attacks. For instance, goblins with the razortooth heritage can attack with their sharp jaws."
>>97189848>>97190019It's amazing how many people fail to realize this part.
>>97256144Draconic Acolyte isn't really Disciple. It's pretty clear that Dragonblooded is where you go for all the "be a dragon" feats like Scaly Hide and claws. Acolyte is more like a Final Fantasy Summoner or Lyria from Granblue, more about calling a dragon spirit and using that. It's cool but I rather have a real Disciple remaster over needing to take an heritage slot.
>>97250702Casters have worse saves all around, many martials actually have better Will saves and some will even have evasion on them before casters are at 3 expert saves. On top of Stupefied not actually doing anything to most martials, every other class would not have gotten fucked by it. Enfeebled is a joke for most classes. Clumsy is equally as bad for casters as for most martials just because they are already at worse AC, so putting them lower is asking to be crit on a sub 10 number. They're probably also making a lot of the same reflex saves just because spell range is pretty bad overall. Drained is equally bad for everyone and definitely the strongest of these four, but also the rarest. So, this actually is a caster debate when casters are more likely to get hit with these effects, and suffering more from them.As someone who casts Befuddle a lot, you fuck over enemy casters with it way more than you do anything else. And this is acknowledging that you can absolutely dumpster an enemy's Will save with it.

More confident just seeing that others have the same solution. That bit about damage to armor vs unarmored works naturally with my system just from how damage reduction works.Excellent! Happy my yammering was useful or encouraging in some way. >>97232866>Shotguns have their appeal for me in either just being unga bunga "close range big damage" because it's coolHell yeah mang!>or for using them as scatter blasters to pick off sensitive parts like optics and light vehicles.

Agreed, in most mecha anime it seems like the spray of smaller projectiles often tend to damage smaller, more sensitive bits of a bigger target. Like that Clay Bazooka vs Asshimar clip, a good example.>>97234680Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97250544>"How do you do Ace Customs? Are there any? Do they have improved performance, or are the exact same as other mechs with a different finish?"In Mekton Z, you can build anything (pretty much) so you could just design a version of whatever grunt unit that's little better. Faster, more maneuverable, better armor or weapons, whatever. There's also "Maneuver Pool," which is a metacurrency pilots developed when their Piloting skill gets above 5. There's a Mekton tech feature called A.C.E. (Actuator Control Electronics) which multiplies a pilot's Maneuver Pool. So an ace pilot with a Piloting of 7 in a grunt unit would have a 2 points in his Maneuver Pool, but in an ace custom unit with 2.5x A.C.E. would have 5 points in his Maneuver Pool.The Gundam RPG that was based on Mekton Z actually called the A.C.E. system "Ace Custom" and called the Manuever Pool "Ace Points." I thought was a great idea and I wish I'd thought of it.

>>97252313>>97252324IIRC cats depend much for hunting prowess on their mothers teaching them how to hunt.Considering how little nowdays cats can hunt (well, at least comparing them to the absolute range-free cats of a century ago) I would assume what we're seeing is cultural degradation more than anything else. Even if a cat had a great grandmother huntress and now it can roam free, the generations that lost the arts of hunting would severely hurt its ability now.
>>97252313Ctas generally aren't very good for killing rats. Full-grown rats are rather large, and cats prefer smaller prey like mice. Dogs are much better for killing rats, and there are breeds of dogs bred specifically for hunting rats and other pests.
>>97251725With sneasure.
>>97256505not snakey enough
>>97255630Depends on the species. Adult brown (Norwegian/Wharf) rats get to 28 cm (11 in) excluding tail while adult black (Ship) rats are about half that at ~15 cm (~6 in) excluding tail. Considering that adult domestic cats are usually 36 cm to 46 cm (14 in to 18 in), brown rats are likely out of their weight class. The location the study in >>97252313 was done at is dominated by brown rats which likely biased the study.

>>97221448Sheng, of course.
How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?
>>97254882>so you can't use goblin breeding/eugenics as a justification for a pest race; you are not justifying a pest race at that point.WRONG FUCKOyou can just demonstrate those traits are mal-adaptive in their current societykey example pigeon, used to be very useful, they're very clean animals their job is done they left.Culturally, see muslims with dogs, there are a lot of good, useful dog breeds many of which would get culled and rejected in Islamic societiesthen you have wild hybridization or selection pressures, see the coywolf or the rattlesnake and how either intermixing or adaptive pressures have made them more agressive.any change in a society will fuck around with them.but i agree it's hard to handle goblins when they can interbreed with humans. you can either make those pairs sterile or jig up a major cultural expectation
>>97255913>Or that it was one of those hentai scenarios where the gender and species is fixed and you don't need to worry about itthat is literal elderscrolls lore.from Notes on Racial Phylogeny: "After much analysis of living specimens, the Council long ago determined that all "races" of elves and humans may mate with each other and bear fertile offspring. Generally the offspring bear the racial traits of the mother, though some traces of the father's race may also be present. ... Still, the interfertility of these creatures [goblinoids] and the civilized hominids has yet to be empirically established or refuted, likely due to the deep cultural differences. Surely any normal Bosmer or Breton impregnated by an Orc would keep that shame to herself, and there's no reason to suppose that an Orc maiden impregnated by a human would not be likewise ostracized by her society."
>>97215302What if it's more a spectrum and a product of the very short life spans of goblins. If a goblin settlement is stable for long enough they start to build a functional culture and some social experience that allows them to peacefully interact with human settlements, but if the settlement is consistently blown to pieces they go feral. For example, if only a few goblin children are left after a major culling, they grow and breed very quickly without any respect for the cost of offspring. They would have no agricultural skills, no hunting skills, no shelter, no resources to trade with, and no elders or experience to teach them otherwise, so they start raiding farms for chickens and loving in barns and caves. Raiding ends up being the successful means of providing, so you catch bad attention, get obliterated and restart the cycle. Alternatively, a stable village figures out growing crops, teaches children to trade or work in the nearby town, people come to begrudgingly respect the little fuckers, they get help maintaining their little village from the local humans, and even though they only live fifteen years there's continuity of culture and experience. Controlling goblins ends up being either a process of aggressive extermination or improving their lot enough that they realize farming is better than being exterminated (and providing them with condoms). You end up with goblin public health specialists that are overall more economical than equipping a goblin task force.
>>97231892Could be the same business as killing coyotes too, lotta people just don't feel comfortable killing something like a dog, lotta people don't have a gun and the right experience to safely deal with a coyote. Could be the same for goblins, some people would do it, but others would get the ick because it feels like killing kids, most people wouldn't feel safe confronting the two goblins in the trash can.
>>97213989>ANOTHER thread where OP isn't pretending to post about his fetishcome on man
>Halflings to do the farming>Dwarves to do the smithing and mining>Gnomes to do the researching>Elves to do magic>Humans to do the fighting (and thus, the ruling)This seems the obvious perfect order to things. Humans don't want to be the peasant farmers, we want to be the knights and lords, but somebody has to farm, somebody has to smith, etc. Why not have the other races do the menial peasant stuff that they specialize in anyways?
>>97251874I prefer the races to be climate/region based than job based. It makes no sense for Dwarves, Gnomes, and Elves to not have someone that makes the food, or Elves, gnomes, and Humans to not have someone to make pottery and iron.
>>97251874>Elves to do magic>Humans to do the fighting (and thus, the ruling)Unless it's a very low magic setting, the people with magic would absolutely be doing the ruling. Human infantry and cavalry would get demolished by a bunch of wizards firing volleys of magic missile and magic missile is far from the most potent magic imaginable. Imagine the Battle of Nagashino only worse.
>>97255104>as hardy peasant boys are good stock to make soldiers.You don't turn peasants into warriors, that's a myth, most medieval soldiers were either gentry or higher in social status or straight up mercenaries
>>97255104>So 80-90% of the population is halflings?Sure, why not? Humans don't wanna do farming work if we can avoid it and we need lots of the peasant class so it makes sense we'd breed halflings for that purpose
>>97251874>short lifespans>Decently tall and strong>(relatively) short reproduction>affinity for fighting in large groups and formationsHumans probably do handle the fighting, however, the majority of humans are probably also dirt farmers and the ruling is probably done by elves since monarchies and feudal systems crave stability more than anything.
Trench Raiding With The Lads 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.

Everyone I know who watches Fatt Coville videos is a fucking terrible GM. I've never fully watched one and I am widely considered the best GM out of all 3 groups I'm part of. I am regularly requested to run campaigns. People borderline fall asleep in the games others run. There's also no tension because they know that these Coville acolytes will fudge rolls until all PCs survive the battle. If you're a good GM, it's an inmate talent you can hone over time. You're born that way. If you aren't, then no amount of shitty advice is going to make up for your lack of talent. It just is what it is. This idea that everyone should "try" DMing is retarded. The idea that anyone can be good at it? lolno. Its like some fat divorced on who suddenly decides he's gonna become a famous author. Fat chance. Most people fucking suck at GMing. Hell, most of them suck at playing, but at least in that case the game depends less on them.

>>97255318>I've seen the same thing a few times; bad DMs who stay bad.And it's the majority of players, unfortunately. Maybe 25% of the hobby at MOST is even passable at DMing.>I'm talking about an IRL context, but it's pretty hard to get players to usefully critique DMing, out of politeness if nothing elseWhy bother? It's like critiquing some middle schooler's garbage poetry. It's not even worth the trouble, it's not going to help anything.>>Hey, person who just put a bunch of time and effort into entertaining me and three other people, before I head out I just want to say that the adventure was really bad, I didn't have fun, and you should do things better, by doing them differently, because what you're doing now isn't good.Yeah, exactly. No one wants to hear that, and also asking for feedback as a DM is cringe as fuck. It's like going to the car mechanic and he asks you afterward to take a look and see if he did it right. No, as a DM, you show up, you deliver, and that's that. You should know if your session went bad. You should know what went wrong, and work on fixing it. If you need to ask for feedback, you are either severely autistic, or fucking retarded. I am not trolling, I am being 100% serious. Maybe I was a little bit hyperbolic earlier, but I am absolutely serious. DMs that try to be super-transparent about their DMing, and want to have meta-conversations about it, are just adding another layer of awfulness to their shit DMing. Do not ask for critique. It doesn't fucking matter, you're not capable of implementing it anyway. If you aren't seeing the problems, there either aren't any, or you're too fucking retarded to fix them. I am dead serious.
How would you implement undead PCs in a game, in a way that feels flavorful and meaningfully different from regular PCs?
>>97256034No it doesn't. PCs don't go into the negatives once they're level 2 or higher. Why? Because the negative margin is small compared to damage per swing, especially once you're past level 5 or so. By the time you're level 10, if you're taking damage while you're that low on health, the same hit almost certainly kills.And furthermore, I know you agree, but it bears emphasis that stripping all the tactics away so that the game is reduced to just doing hit point damage is an excruciatingly anti-fun situation for everyone involved. Not just not fun. I mean it is anti-fun. It removes whatever fun you might be having in an algebraic manner which can and will reduce the fun you're having to a negative value. A negative value of fun in this sense is an active sensation of revulsion and antipathy. It isn't just boring, the players have a direct motive to take steps to avoid the experience.
>>97256580I literally just had a player hit -2 at level 4.
>>97255834
>>97256594Ok.
>>97255834OP, I'm gonna blow your mind: There's an entire game where you play as undead characters called Vampire the Masquerade.
