Why do people here say that martial clases need to be underwellming because they aren't supernatural.

But the 2 clearly supernatural martial classes monk and barbarian are also underwellming.

That's not what use-activated means.

Manacles don't do anything unless you spend an action to do something with them. You don't have an action to spend.

An attack roll requires an action, which you don't have.

>>98740962
>Not really, level 1 spell by a level 1 caster, it's crazy cheap.
Bonus squared * 1000 gp.
>And use-activated means the spell's normal action to cast doesn't exist.
This is wrong.
>Are still an attack roll.
No they are not. That's Pathfinder. You would buff the TOUCH ATTACK component of grappling and not your grapple bonus. And even if I gave you this, you don't have actions to take.
>Negated by the item being use-activated.
No it is not.
>>
>>98740962
>Activating a command word magic item is a standard action and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
You first.
>>
>>98740962
Use activation does not equate to free action spells you dumbass. Read the rules and understand them. These would be standard action spells and you would be better off having permanent spells which still wouldn't help you because Dimension Door turns off your actions for a round.

Cleave is good because you are very likely to have more than one enemy next to you in combat and it's a prerequisite for some of the best melee feats in the game. Great Cleave is shit because having 3+ enemies next to you in combat is a bad situation to be in if they're threatening, doesn't do anything because you won't drop 2+ enemies in all likelihood, or all the enemies are weak and then it doesn't matter that you had Great Cleave. All of those tactical feats are the cream of the crop of tactical feats.

Google Tucker's Kobolds. You will get all the answers you need.

Just tested 3 colours.

GW did it again. Best paints on the market. Like contrast, now all the third world brands will try to copy them.

The DEI Team did a great work. Also the DIVERSE GROUP OF PAINTERS that joined the Warhammer World test of the paints.

There's nuance to it. Like they all emphasize one coat instead of saying hiding strength or pigmentation. Like none of them call it increased open time despite that apparently being a core change in the new paint. Like none of them saying x paint is better than y brand, but for reds (or whatever) I
they still prefer y brand over gw. It's fairly obvious it's a coordinated campaign once you hear the same emphasis and blind spots from several different creators.

every time you need to fudge a dice roll , you then use a coin instead to supersede the desition and if you want to fudge the coin , you use a normal deck of cards and play black jack and if you want to fudge the black jack you use a tarot deck.

until you run out of methods to organically use as a randomizer at that point its the will of the gods and its for the better for this to happen.

That's a self-own. You picked that pic out of everything because you know it's wrong. It shows you do have an understanding of what the drow are supposed to look like and what they are not.

>>98730725
In both cases it was a cultural reinvention of an existing concept with the characteristics of the reinventor that made it so distinct that it can be considered a cultural product instead of a cultural loan.

Westerners came up with the concept of Elves, Tolkien created a strong isolate of it, Americans then further codified it via D&D, Japanese took this codification and then made it into a genre in and of itself with the long ear aesthetic. At this point we can consider Elves as they are understood in anime to be an indiginous Japanese concept because nobody else would have used them in this configuration.

Germans had a tradition of mincemeat patties. A German immigrant introduced them to Americans, who then started making sandwiches out them with pickles and mustard and such. I would say "The Hamburger" as a sandwich can be considered an indiginous American food because that configuration had never been done before. Sort of like chili con carne, which is the -actual- greatest contribution of America to the culinary world.

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?

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!
