11 Moses grew up. One day, he went out to where his own people were. He watched them while they were hard at work. He saw an Egyptian hitting a Hebrew man. The man was one of Moses’ own people. 12 Moses looked around and didn’t see THE REF. So he killed the Egyptian WITH HOPPING HIGH HEBREW FRANKENSTEINER. Then he hid his body in the sand WITH THE THEN-TON TABERNACLE SLAMMER

Reminder that a level 20 monk/brawler should, in any realistic system, still die to a conscript with a spear or crossbow because he has no meaningful way to either defend himself or hit first.

In any realistic system a level 20 brawler should not exist. E6 exists for a reason.

In any system a level 20 brawler (as well as magic and shit) exists, they should just take the spear at worst and kill the fucker.

In any case, this is why I like stuff like KSBD and Exalted over DnD. If you hone your skill well enough, it becomes supernatural, whether it is magic, martial arts, or gardening.

I'd argue Umbra, Sin, Void or Blood for edgiest subpath, and Fire can be edgy with the "I sacrifice YOUR characteristics to fuel my bullshit" spell.
Though Blood subpath could be played as, I guess the term I'd use is light edgy.

You don't really need to go tao to make a good martial artist in anima. It all depends on your priorities, a techie or even something weirder with martial arts can work perfectly, you just need some engineering.

It's true that the official sheets tend to be a bit lame though.

>On the other, Prince Sylvanus and Romeo Exxet.
Romeo gets 3 free levels.
He still dies to a ninja.

>>46751701
Necromancy literally destroys souls to make magic.
This is a huge no-no in the magic community, which just uses the soul energy and releases it, that's why everything is opposed to necromancy.

Also the only 2 necromancer factions hate each other.

There's not a lot that doesn't die to ninjas, unless that thing has specific anti-ninja techniques, or a level 14 Technician with several monster levels who can bend reality to protect her instantly for a bodyguard.
Or Damage Resistance creatures. They give zero shits about one powerful attack.
>>
>>46751804
Spanish here, it doesn't sound bad at all imho. Specially considering it's a fake name invented by a teenager. I can't think of anything now, it's been a long since I played on the official setting, but I'm sure that Anima has worst shit.

Romeo while not stupid doesn't sound badass at all for starters.

>level 20

Seriously didn't think this through did you?

Long spears are an incredibly powerful weapon for phalanxes, but terribly stupid weapons for single soldiers to wield; it's entirely realistic for a combatant with a short weapon or no weapon to get inside the range of a polearm wielder. That weapon is an advantage, but not the overwhelming one that a proper weapon for that kind of one on one engagement (eg, longsword) would be.

Much closer to correct with crossbows, though there's still some of the same problem. A single crossbowman without backup doing something other than assassination or guarding a long narrow position (eg, corridor, bridge, top of a wall) is not a great proposition. Think about the fact that it's not a given that in a calm, zero pressure situation against a still target, there are professionals that miss targets with guns, much less bows. A hit will be lethal, but one missed shot against an opponent with a skill and physique advantage and a crossbowman is probably done for.

Really, the entire structure of most TRPG adventures comes off kind of silly compared to real life. One very rarely sees very small, relatively equally matched groups facing off in a long sequence.

>Or Damage Resistance creatures. They give zero shits about one powerful attack.
Thanks god that +170 to attack in core is actually -170 to defense, otherwise stealth would be the most annoying shit ever.
>>
>>46752419
What "170 to attack" are you talking about?
>>
>>46752550
In spanish core exxet for some god-forsaken reason instead of reading "defender gets -170 (for surprise, back, blind)" it reads "attack gets +170 (for surprise, back blind)", this was clarified as an errata in the web complement.
