Do you think its possible to use a Arianrhod character together with Konosuba characters in the same system? I know the building methods are slightly differant between the two books. Like Arianrhod has you select a main class and a sub class to buld your characters.

>minor teleportation powers
That was my pick for powerset for a teen heroes series I was in years ago. It was set in the Marvel universe, and basically a rip-off of Avengers Academy. Basically a bunch of delinquent teen supers given one last chance to get their shit together and do something useful - or end up in prison. My character was an early 'influencer' who used her sight-range teleport to get into places she wasn't supposed to be like exclusive clubs and parties. Doing a video from an empty Oval Office was great for numbers and engagement, but put her right on the government's list.

Another character in that series was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed secret clone of the Red Skull trying to prove he wasn't the danger they thought he potentially was. Which I thought was an interesting character concept with a lot of drama to hang a story on.

The dwarves of Teutony to the East use their mythical metalsmithing skills to trade their legendary arms and armor in exchange for the bountiful harvests blessed by Jotunn druids. While the two nations differ greatly in way of life, they both agree on the principles of unity, and their partnership benefits both nations greatly.

I can't even find people to play Magic with. All I want to do is play janky theme block con decks or dirt cheap combo decks or other shit, but everyone plays fucking commander now. I can't even buy a pack of 60 sleeves. I have a few friends who actually will play kitchen table but they get so butthurt over the game it's often not worth it because they take every attack as a personal insult. Go to the FLGS? Yeah I'll jsut roll up with my block con Esper deck from 2009 and see if anyone fancies a game?
>uhhh anon what the fuck? Is that a modern deck?
>technically yeah
Then I proceed to get raped for 5 games straight by some giggling autist and his Boros energy deck or whatever the fuck.
I really fucking hate formats, I just want to play Magic but no one even does that anymore cause of tryhards.
I can't play with you guys either because playing mtg on the computer is fucking gay.

I was just talking about this recently, in the 3.5 thread. All their turns individually, but they're trying to grapple rush you. Each zombie will attempt to overrun you until you are knocked down, then they'll start grappling until the max number of grapplers is reached, then any remaining will stand around you and make their slam attacks. I'm giving them an ability called "unfeeling" that lets them continue an action that normally fails when they are hit with an AoO.

This so much more interesting and scary than "each zombie moves up and slams".

I don't like how grapples in D&D automatically do damage though; thats a bad rule imo. I've been trying to think how I want to handle it.

Oh, totally different. In WWN I'd treat them as individuals.

"The best" according to what standard?
>>
>>94923493
I've been tired of zombies for a decade, but sure. Return of the Living Dead style is my preference but I'm a skeleton guy.
Do not run each one individually, that's slow and boring and not what you want in a combat. If you want a horde you can run it like a swarm, or you can bum the minion rules from 4e so instead of keeping track of the HP of every individual zombie so it's a binary yes/no situation, give them a gang up bonus.
Boss zombies are a staple, but do more than just "bigger more HP". Use the horde. The players can't move through a corpse carpet, but they can. Depending on the boss they could throw zombies or redirect attacks into the mass. Depending on how smart they are they could drag zombies into the players, or the other way around. If they're real nasty they could chunk a PC into the maw of meat mountain.
Just do not run a combat where you keep track of an acre of health pools slowly shambling forward with nothing interesting going on, that sucks for everyone at the table including you.

Except that we're not discussing cross in general as a geometry as we might for a thing like a cross road. Crusade is a modern word, neither it nor its immediate origins being used by the medieval people who carried them out, and crusade is explicitly tied to the cross as a religious symbol for Christianity.

This is one of those "problems" people bring up that boils down to "Well if I wrote it then none of the drama and action would have happened because MY intelligent character would have solved everything before it began!" that makes fiction boring.

You can do those things and make them interesting but more often than not the people who bring this stuff up just want the blandest most boring story ever. People write stories the way they do because they like those stories and the people who engage with them like those stories. If you kneecap the premise with your perfect fix then less people will be interested naturally.

Star Wars could have all been prevented if Anakin killed Palpatine when he realized he was a Sith but then none of the rest of the story would happen etc etc etc.
