How would one create Jetstream Sam for a Dungeons the Dragoning 1.6 game?
Human Paragon swordsman with artifact sword, desert wind special attacks? Vengeful trait?
Also, general Dungeons the Dragoning thread
Cyborg arm, likely artifact type - don't forget that. Possibly Diamond Mind or Iron Heart for sword school. Not sure about Alignment, if it matters.
The other question to ask is, 'What level is he'?
>>45727716
With stale memes and shit mechanics, just like the rest of DtD
I just had a weird thought.
What does the warform of a Unicorn Werewolf look like?
>>45729230
Someone's cranky
>>45729217
The arm is optional if I'm not going for post armstrong, I'm more focused on the sword and how to replicate the shotgun slash
>>45729560
horny
>>45729844
Hah.
>>45727716
Why would you?
He isn't remotely interesting at all.
It's just anime inspired Katana porn.
>>45730816
Because I want to make a simple character for one of my mates who is new to exalt type systems, and a sheath that shoots swords is inherently appealing to him.
>>45730845
So have your character buy a crossbow and cut off the pointy bits of the crossbow bolts. same effect.
Blunt force trauma without having to look like a flourishy dick-head.
>>45730885
I think flaming quickdraw sword attacks, vergil style moves, and a cocky attitude all fit pretty easily into the DtD/exalt system and leave plenty of room for actual originality on his part.
>>45730845
A sheathe that shoots sword.
>P1: I shoot my sword into his face!
>DM: Roll it.
>P1: 17, haha! yeah! eat sword.
>DM: And now roll for reflex.
>P1: huh? okay.... 6.
>DM: You didn't catch your sword after it fired. It clatters to the floor. Your enemy is stunned but you look like an idiot.
Or alternatively.
P1: I fire the sword while my hand is on the hilt, giving my swing the speed of a bullet!
DM: Your enemy takes 13 damage. YOU take 1 damage.
P1: What from?
DM: the shock trauma of hanging onto a sword that's being fired form a weird shotgun hilt.
P1: but that's my mechanical arm.
DM: That shit is prone to wear and tear.
P1: BUT IT'S MADE OF NANOMACHINES!
DM: ROCKS FALL!

Our DM is pretty laid back, but you're right, it will be a bitch to use the special attack if he rules it that way. My hope is that if he rolls a paragon and uses stunts for the special attack it won't be as bad for him.
If anyone could use such a weird ass impractical weapon in an RPG, it seems like a paragon would be best suited stylistically and ruleswise.
>>45731152
>a weird ass impractical weapon
I think this says it all.
If anything, I recommend ditching the notion of having this in a DnD setting and.... fuck, i dunno, make a RWBY setting, where madness, ultra-choreographed, super-acrobatic, my-sword-is-also-a-rocket-launcher combat is welcome/required.
>>45731214
Its not for DnD, its for DtD, an exalt style system https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Dungeons:_the_Dragoning_40,000_7th_Edition
where you have said ultra choreographed combat in addition to more sane fighting styles
>>45731047
ah, c'mon
simplicity, man
it's an action of drawing a sword, don't take it so far as to make 7 rolls
>>45732477
It's not just that- he's trying to make a... hm. once-a-scene attack, likely with increased penetration and damage, that targets only one opponent.
That sounds like the "Last Resort" special attack demonstration from the forums:
Standard Attack
Any weapon
Martial Adept 5
Cost: 350 XP
+1k1 Accuracy
+1k1, Damage +2 Pen
Once per scene

>>45727716
Wouldn't the Guardian exaltion that was being worked on for that work?
>>45727716
How about you make your own characters rather than stealing them from video games like a lazy fuck?
It's not clever, funny, or interesting.
>hamfistedly trying to fit something into a system as locked-down as DnD
It's either going to be an unbalanced mess or a reskin. Why bother?
>>45736871
Dungeons the Dragoning, asshat.
>>45736871
Learn to read senpai.
>>45736847
I dunno about that with DtD. The whole game is kinda made for that practice.
>>45727716
What is with this guy and everyone trying to be him? I've met one guy on a Roleplay site who's every character in every scenario is some sort of version of this guy with the exact same character image and name.
Orichalchum Cybernetic Arm, Light Power Armor, Paragon, Go Through Assassin/Rogue/Fighter.
>>45738245
Also look up the HF Iaido Blade on the forums.
>>45738256
Exact post.

Trigger Weapon rules can be found in the book of homeless stuff.

Lots more melee weapons.

I personally liked him, but yeah he's most likely inspired by some other character.
>>45730816
Switch to a glorious best quality greatsword.

>>45738245
Thanks guys, this has been extremely helpful. I'll encourage him to not try to immediately make sam, but to rather aim to get those abilities over the course of the game while figuring out what original additions he wants to make to the character.
>>45743643
No problem.
Personally I'd encourage him to use a combat style similar to him, but try and make his own personality.
>>45743643
You should encourage him to not be a human, make it more diverse from the source material.
