I posted this thread awhile back, but never got to see where it went. So here it is again.
How do you balance martials and casters, /tg/? Can you balance them? SHOULD you balance them? What game does it well?
>>47262043
By letting martials do cool things too and accepting once a character is lvl 8 plus they have moved beyond being a.mundane soldier or mercenary.
>>47262043
I told you last time, REMAIN INDOORS
>>47262068
I like this. After reading up on mythological heroes it makes me sad that a level 20 fighter can never pull anything like Beowulf or Cu Chulainn
So... now that we've killed the raptor cult I guess it's time to check the civillian centers for any leftovers of chaos infestation and then leave the Ordo Malleus do "their thing" with the place... right?

I'm not gonna post one of those cancerous stat me theads, but I will post it here. What's the best class to play her, /tg/?
>>47280085
Tough call but I'd go with Rogue because they have decent selection of proficiencies and combine that with some sort of academic background. See if you can make a deal with your GM for making gas grenades with the poisoner's kit and the good ol' doctor already uses knives/short swords, so sneak attack fits the theme.

I think it's because the vast majority of players just want to unwind and have a good time. For the average Table Top Tom it's hard to keep track of all the all the piloting and planning need for a Political Intrigue game to work. Pulling it off right would require the right people with the right mindset and a lot of talent on the DM's part to make everything come together right. Your OP pic's kawaii as hell BTW.
>>47269180
Some players want to put in effort though.
>>47268978
Because most people don't understand how politics actually work from an unbiased view.
Frequently not even people actually involved in politics.

Devil's Due has you covered, and it's also a fucking awesome book.
My players are traversing a Devil's lair in the depths of Hell itself to recover a princess that he kidnapped.
What are some interesting challenges they may face on the way other than "demons attack?" I'm at a bit of a loss.
>>47265939
There's always the idea of encountering interesting people from the past who went to Hell when they died. That could be something obvious, like running into the setting's Hitler equivalent, or it could be shocking, like finding that your own father is in Hell.
>>47266044
That's pretty good. Or finding people that the PCs killed or allowed to be killed. I even considered having the PCs find dead versions of themselves. It doesn't make much sense but it's pretty spooky.

If Hell exists outside of space and time, everyone that is going to go there is already there.

Anyone played a regiment using these?
Postin' 3.0 of that one anon's paratrooper homebrew because it got swallowed by the last thread's bump limit pretty fast.

Man I didn't even know you could us mounts. That is pretty cool.
/tg/ if you could design the Titans of the Adeptus Mechanicus what would they be like?
>>47235838
A lot more reasonable.
>>47235838
Why don't TItans have skitarii security forces? They're big enough to have a few.
