Why I see so many situations of a DM trying to pull a monkey paw's situation with Wish? You can control the whole game world and you still feel like pulling a GOTCHA with your players just because they have a bit of control? Isn't that petty? Just let the spell work.
>>97678350Wrong. Going to the future is wish, and a guy dying is a wish. He didn't make two wishes, so only one of those things happens.
>>97616535>Isn't that petty? Just let the spell work.Hey, you wished for it, vague king.
>>97680069No he didn't.
>>97678794>The wisher didn't wish for a single book to appear once per day until the end of time.one book per day over an infinite period of time is still an infinite number of booksyou only said "infinite number of books" but defined no time frame>>97678903>He didn't make two wishes, so only one of those things happens.only one thing happened: someone diedtravelling to a future where is dead is just the way that wish is achievedunder your logic, the guy dying of a heart attack is not a valid wish because you never wished for a heart attackbut all of this is irrelevant because the wish granter is an actual being, like a genie, or the spellcaster themselves physically altering realitythe wish is open to interpretation because the wish granter is a person who can wilfully choose to make your wish go wrong if they wantyou are relying entirely on either someone elses good grace when they flex their power or on your own skill to reshape the world paradox-freethe genie is only obligated to cast the wish spell to whoever frees him, but he is entirely under his own discretion to interpret wishes
What I have done, and what has worked for me, is that I interpret "to duplicate any other spell of 8th level or lower" not as any published spell or any listed spell, but as any possible spell which any wizard could ever, in principle, develop, which would be of 8th level. That honestly handles almost any case. It's only when you try to do something beyond what a 8th level spell could do that things come into question.

>>97679827Outside of hunting old ships on eBay.Any stl?I found some stl for nid ships and for some reason some of them have more holes and a syrian kid and everything is missing something.Like Big ship, cruiser, light cruiser, escorts. Something is always missing.
>>97679951I bought two boxes of Raptors from LGS since I noticed they are sold out online on GW store. I want to build them as Murderwing with extra bodies despite not playing the game in ages. I wonder if it is as bad as the KT21. Perhaps I will finally have a reason to catch up with the local Warhammer players.
>>97681958Murderwing used the new raptor kit, which has the possessed raptor with mutated arm, a raptor with a glaive, and a 2 handed chainaxe. Also come with a Chaos Lord Raptor. So you'll need to find the extra bits to convert your old raptors.

>>97679788I’d raise an eyebrow, given that two of those things aren’t in the materials I provide to my players.
>>97680191No, no one but furries would play one.
>>97679887>OOOOOH THE WIZARD IS USING SPELLS I AM MAD>I AM MAD THAT THE WIZARD IS USING SPELLSYou joke, but Wizard, Monk, and Rogue basically all chronically have that problem, DMs malding over them using their class abilities completely as intended. And have a sneaky suspicion that there's a faction doing the same about Ranger, just not around here.
>>97682000And it’s usually DMs that either lack the creativity or improvisation to roll with player problem-solving, or the DM has some control issues and secretly wanted to use the survival mechanics to punish “disobedient” players. As opposed to using more survival mechanics to just encourage players to utilize spells, tools, and class abilities that normally don’t see a lot of use because the situation they were meant for is usually hand-waved away.Incidentally, I strongly suspect that the only DMs that champion “milestone leveling”, as opposed to just earning XP through completing encounters, also have the same control issues; I don’t know, but the whole concept just feels like it’s turning class progression into a “mother may I” situation, and that just seems suspicious to me.
>>97681971I might play one if they were size small, for nonfurry reasons. Little Terrier or Corgi or Spaniel or Beagle man.Kobolds used to be a little dog-like before they were dragony. That's why they yip and why anime has them as full blown dog anthros, since the only edition of DND that got big over there was B/X and they just kind of took that and ran with it making their own systems after that.

>>97677828I'd probably copy the Little Man in the Woods ability: https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=1878It's got two parts: a melee attack with the Grab trait, and the Strangle action. Modified for your guy, it might look something like this:>Strangle (One Action)>Requirements: [NAME] has a creature grabbed or restrained[NAME] hauls the creature into the air by its neck, extending the Grab, dealing X bludgeoning damage with a DC X basic Fortitude save, and strangling the creature for as long as it remains grabbed or restrained. A strangled creature can't speak, which prevents it from casting spells with a verbal component or activating items with a command component. The strangled creature must hold its breath or start suffocatingFor damage, the original stat block deals 2d6+3 on a Strangle, which is just slightly under the "low" damage entry in the Building Creatures section of the GMC for that level, so I'd generally say pick "low" damage for whichever level you're planning to use. For level 8, that'd be 2d6+8. The DC is just a "high" DC for its level, so if we stick with that then for a level 8 creature it'd be DC 26.As for the attack, just add "plus grab" on the end of whatever they're attacking with. Grab's already an established creature ability so that's easy peasy.This does lack the bit about being able to be attacked to break the grapple. You could add a line about him having to make a Normal DC fortitude save if he gets crit or something, just to make him a little spicier if you wanted, although I feel like if his special thing is strangling it shouldn't be easier than normal to break.
>>97677872>>97677918Didn't even know about these, thanks guys.>Isn't https://2e.aonprd.com/Feats.aspx?ID=6452 much more fitting?I meant that the strike + grab would come BEFORE the strangle action. So he has to strike first before he can start strangling, which would take another action or 2.>You could add a line about him having to make a Normal DC fortitude save if he gets crit or somethingI think I'll do that. I want the option of being able to hit him to make him let go of someone.
>>97677507>>97677712Yeah, that did not work out for 1e. Didn't say the Alternate Class Features were GOOD, just that they could exist.
>>97672714In 1e Shattered Star had one as its final boss for book 5/6, and in Curse of the Crimson Throne a Blue with, I believe, Antipaladin class levels is a sort of "big bad behind the big bad" figure.
are they going to errata ki strike and ki rush to be able to get them at the same time (at least from different feats like before) or is this a soft nerf on monk?
Is it just me or for an average tabletop player, you can pretty much make them feel a game is "fun" and "enjoyable" by making them powertrip and turning the game easy, as opposed to providing a challenging setting where the enemies are tough and they might have to think outside the box?For example, let's say the party is fighting a group of enemy mercenaries. These enemy mercenaries are experienced, decently intelligent, and without gaining an advantage against them like ambushing them or attacking them while their guard is down, the fight can easily be lost. The party just decides to fight them head front and when they realize they're nearly evenly matched, the enemy "controller" is shutting some of them down, and they're getting injured, they start to get frustrated. The game sucks for them.On the other hand turn the enemies in to complete morons. Their archer decides to expose themselves easily. There is no "controller" shutting the players down. They utterly suck and go down in like one or two swings. They don't act tactfully whatsoever and it's just the party turning them in to their playthings. Players are now having fun and feeling like they're gods.I absolutely despise the latter and nothing bores me more than a world full of retards where the players can do whatever they want without consequences. But I feel for the vast majority of people it's the opposite. They want a world and setting that is in "Easy" mode as opposed to "Hard."
>>97682105>for an average tabletop player, you can pretty much make them feel a game is "fun" and "enjoyable" by making them powertrip and turning the game easy, as opposed to providing a challenging setting where the enemies are tough and they might have to think outside the box?Yes, that is correct.
There is no mode easier than being the GM, since you have infinite resources.
How big is your sample set on this one?And what's the (approximate) age distribution?
>>97682137Not the OP, but I had my players tell me that "No, we do not want to be challenged." The ages are: 2x 40+, 2x 30+, 1x nearly 30.
>>97682105It's not about power tripping, it's about being able to accomplish your game plan in a straightforward manner which sometimes intersects with difficulty. For these people, if you make Big Stick Hit Guy, and then the GM keeps putting obstacles in the way of hitting things, they are not playing the game. There is no argument you can make to persuade them otherwise.It's the same reason a subset of players will always bitch about control decks in MtG. For them, playing the game is accomplishing what they set out to do, NOT winning, NOT adapting to circumstances on the fly, just wanting to do a thing then doing it.
What's the point of social skills? Evil people can't be reasoned with, and good people don't need to be. And even more than that, GMs never let you resolve a situation just by talking it out because that's anticlimactic. And, you know, if you want to say something, you can just fucking say it. Social skills objectively just don't do anything. So why the fuck do game designers keep adding these shitty trap options to their games?
>>97671124>notice how this entire time you've never tried to say>>They use social skills to convince you to stop>because even you know that shit is absolutely worthlessThis is the first actual good point you've made.The real problem with social skills is that NPCs don't use them as they would reasonably be expected to. GMs shy away from them because players whine that they remove/reduce their agency.
>>97676428>The real problem with social skills is that NPCs don't use them as they would reasonably be expected toThere is no reasonable expectation to use skills that don't actually do anything. And this goes for both PCs and NPCs.
>>97676428There are no social skills that force you to act in any particular way.
>>97678054They do plenty for PCs and NPCs.
>>97628802They do work, you just need to act like a total fucking sociopath. Always lie, always threaten, just use that shit at every possible opportunity for everything it's worth even when it doesn't sound like a good idea. Just squeeze every last benefit out of every NPC you meet without regard for how it might make them feel.

>>97681488Had to look up what you were talking about—the ship seems to not have started the hyperspace at all.
>>97681532 (me)I mean, it started (look at the engine lighting) but it was at subluminal speeds still.
>>97681532Looks like it automatically stopped going into hyperspace thanks to the ship being blocked.
>>97677240Why is Fractalsponge unable to design vehicles that look like Star Wars?>>97677264This is just fucking false. If hyperdrives were cheap and commonplace Luke would have long been outside Tatooine before ANH, the TPM crew wouldn't have struggled so much to acquire a single hyperdrive and Han would have been able to replace the one in the Falcon without going to his good pal at Cloud City. Literally nowhere in the films is it implied hyperdrives are a common-ass technology, the opposite is implied where most of the galactic populace barely goes out of their planet if ever>>976804961.

>>97681986Is this a good thing or a bad thing
>>97682033Depends, how much do you like poop?
>>97682048Don't care for it
An alternative, but weaker overall in my eyes.5e has better mechanics, and also avoids some of the more edgelord stuff. It would have had to been significantly better both in regards to mechanics and flavor in order to try and get over the "everyone plays it" benefits that 5e has.My big gripe is the Rated M for Mature business is not done tastefully. I'm not exactly squeemish or prudish, but when there's succubi scrying through cum pools, I have to ask if that's really necessary.
>>97682052Probably a bad thing then

basically, you just want to remove the other player's cards via combat, or even better, attack them directly, while preventing them from doing so to you.there is a back an forth of this until a player builds enough momentum to overcome the other player.
>>97678689the most basic way to play this is to play only using the combat system:(print 3 of each of these per deck)>>97667986>>97667997then you'd only need the playmat and picrel rules.
