Fair enough, the + basically reads "Discard a card to cast lightning helix" while the - is literally Angelic Purge. The ult is more of a 'Burn away the corruption' thing, I was definitely focusing on flavour here and not gameplay. If Madness was good she would probably see standard play but as it stands I doubt she'd be any better off than Arlinn Kord.
Can we have a thread of magical realm stuff that's actually printed in commercial RPG products? Like, not stuff someone wrote up and turned into a pdf, but something produced by an actual company?
I'll start, and I'll add that pretty much every single Ed Greenwood supplement or box set has at least one instance of his fetishes in them, often many. Transformation, rape, mind control, enslavment and age play are on the list for Greenwood and there's probably loads more.

I don't see anything fetish-y here. It's just a (druid I guess?) that transforms into a dryad.
>>48105641
I don't either, it's obviously a setting based off a book series or something (I looked it up, its Greyhawk) so having a minor section dealing with how to handle major plot-central NPCs. The cringiest part at most is that they keep referring to him as the Exalted One after mentioning his real name (Jason Krimeah).
If I was a famous and easily recognisable wizard then I would change form as well and a dryad is as good as any other (they are generally seen as benign).

That body horror/pregnancy monster from PF. A lot of monsters from PF, really. Doesn't one of the adventures have a literal shit-succubus?
This thread fell off the board while I was out last night. >>48077336
I'm trying to come up with mechanics for a virtual reality MMO feel for a tabletop setting. I'm taking a bit of inspiration from Eclipse Phase and other mech games. Your "Avatar"--the body that you have in the virtual reality which in-game is your Class--is different from your "User"--the player character that you control, here given a different term to prevent confusion, since you're playing a player. All your basic Traits cover what you're capable of and how well you can "steer" a your Avatar (along with mental and social abilities). This is full immersion VR, so even though the players could be pasty faced losers or crippled teenage girls in reality, in the virtual world they're sword swinging heroes. Special abilities and magical power are covered by Talents, which can be purchased with Upgrades, which are gained through exploring the virtual world as rewords. You'll also have Experience for increasing your abilities as the User, which can be used for skills or traits, as well as Assets like a good machine or an attractive Avatar.
The plot of the game is that within the virtual world, one of the AIs has grown rampant, and is slowly corrupting the world, which is leading to problems in the real world (since everything is connected), including the typical "people hooked into the machines are going into comas". The players are people who were defeated by the corrupted data and given the chance to fight back when another awakened AI, weaker but benevolent, granted them debugging access that lets them alter the data or whatever. Technobabble.

>Have you already considered that there might be a very good reason for these shows to ignore these particular MMO aspects?
Yes. And those reasons are obvious: It would be confusing if the characters weren't visually consistent. That's also why characters in anime rarely change their clothes or put on armour. That's not all that big a problem in a tabletop to begin with.

>It's not so much about death being the ultimate consequence but there's very few actual consequences to failing at an mmo.
>Maybe it's because I'm just ignorant of this genre but I'm just not seeing how you can get tangible drama from playing an MMO.
Usually in these games the characters are trapped in the MMO. I mean, I suppose I *could* still do that, and still manage to work in the Avatar swapping somehow, but mostly it's that the Virtual Reality stuff extends beyond the MMO. Everything is virtual reality now. You can go to the movies as an Avatar. You can go to the mall. Think of it as if it were what Second Life wishes it was. The Rampant AI getting out of the game would be a Very Bad Thing for all involved, and that's beyond the usual "your friend is in a coma" thing.
Of course, the problem with that is that I can't really think of a reason that actual authorities wouldn't be getting involved. At least without something like a conspiracy by the Company.
Log Horizon--an anime where the characters are all transported to an MMO world and they learn to manipulate the mechanics of the world--has it so that death doesn't actually mean anything. Characters die and then they resurrect at the Shrines in the main city. But after a while players who've die a lot realize that they're forgetting some of their memories of the real world. That's the kind of thing I prefer to "you die, make a new character". Games where Death is the ultimate You Lose screen don't interest me, they're a dime a dozen.
Damn, guess this isn't interesting to anyone.

Say something nice about Matt Ward.
>>48090792
his codexes were actually balanced in relation to each other
>>48090792
His work on the Lord of the Rings game was fucking fantastic.
The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game is one of the greatest skirmish systems ever created.

What kind of slasher would Patrick "Dubs" Bateman be?
>>48081860
Charmer. Works so well that even when he tries to admit to it people don't believe him.
Okay, so I'm middling familiar with the game mechanics of WoD/CoD, but I've read a lot into the lore of Prometheans and Changelings in particular because they interested me the most, and I've poked my head into the room on Vampires, Werewolves, Mages and Changing Breeds. I mentioned at my local game shop last week that I'd really love for someone to run a game of CoD, and was met with an entire group of people asking me what that was. After explaining the general premise of "Modern world gothic horror game that has all kinds of nasty things that can...

Gisela is also toned-down Baneslayer which isn't awful
