Is Scion any good? I kinda want to run a game where the players are children of gods and do epic quests à la Herakles.

The setting is great!
The system is horrible. Like the worst system I've played. It's just SLIGHTLY above unplayable. And as the group gains experience and meets tougher opponents it goes below unless everyone builds into the exakt same kind of things as their opponents.
I mean, the exalted game with solars and dragonblooded in the same gorup was nowhere near this unbalanced. The dragonblooded could contribute team buffs and using his powers openly.
The level 18 campaign with a monk and a wizard and a druid was basically fair in comparison. A monk could hit opponents and deal damage.
But in scion. None of this would apply. You're the same kind of creature. Just one of you might REAAAALLY suck and be at mortal level when your enemy throws a hangar ship at you. Or be literally unhittable. Because you need about 30 successes on your shitty dicepool of 13. Because you're only as good as the best normal human ever (or even better!). ANd you CAN'T. Ever. Even when he sleeps. He dodges you.
Hell. If he's into that kind of shit, he can become immune to attacks he's not aware of.
Realism has no place in rpg and should die.

OP has no place in rpg and should die.
are necromancers inherently evil? (D&D 5E)
Perhaps a thin scraggly hermit who doesn't sleep much. If his entire goal is focused on learning ancient arcana and lore and he uses necromancy as a tool to get it, is he inherently evil? Perhaps his long term goal is resurrecting wizards of legend to learn lore from them. Maybe with a higher goal of trying to create cures for diseases etc using ancient knowledge? Could you swing that as CN or CG?
>>44918174
Yes necromancers are always evil because popular culture demands it to be so, deal with it. As long as you play shit gamed like D&D there are no exceptions, no grey area allowed! Shut your whore mouth you are not supposed to ask INTELLIGENT QUESTIONS.
>>44918174
How many times do books, shows, and theater have to say it before you necronominiggers finally understand that trying to beat death is a fucking bad idea that leads to suffering regardless of the end goal?
Is the Evil spell descriptor still present in undead creation/summoning spells in 5E?
Does it exist anymore in general (now that classes aren't restricted by alignment anymore)?
Basically, OP, in any edition of D&D you can become an Evil magic user simply by casting spells that happen to be Evil.
A Good necromander in, say, 3.x could exist but wouldn't be using several spells that increment the amount of undead in his plane of existence. The fundamental principle being that negative energy is inherently bad an so is undeath, that is a crime...

What do you mean by this? You literally just buy the game and play it.

Anon, you're talking to a plate of spaghetti.
Imma ask this one again in the hopes that I get a bit more of a response.
How do you get your group to let you play oddballs?
What oddballs have you liked in the past?
Do you follow the at least 1 wookie/1 human rule?
>>44917391
Convince everyone to do it. Throw around slang like 'YOLO' and 'for the lulz'. Get them slowly warmed up to the idea of doing something really different. If they're powergamers, try approaching it as a new kind of challenge. If all else fails, bring along a huge bag of weed when the group gets together for character creation for a new campaign.
>>44917461
>>44917391
I think a better solution would just be to play savage worlds.
Get a group that doesn't play D&D and the oddballs will flow.
>>44917391
>How do you get your group to let you play oddballs?
Nowadays, I start games playing as completely plain and normal characters that become wacky and deranged over time.
>What oddballs have you liked in the past?
Gregor the Fighter, a warrior with more muscle and personality than grey matter. I tried to play him as a simple fighter when the game started, but he slowly evolved into Gaston.

So Barbarian Princess looking for a strong worthy mate but falls in love with a scrawny man who can't fight?
1. He's a warlock using mind control on her to get that barbarian gold for himself.
2. She wants a man who will die fast so she can become full queen without it looking like she killed her man to get power.
No.

Recently got invited to a CoC 3.5 Homebrew. I'm thinking of going full Paladin, but it's my first time playing an ERP so I was wondering if you guys could give me some ideas as to how to approach this sort of thing. Any advice?
>>44916885
Bring your own lube.
>>44916885
unless you're playing as a paladin of a fertility god or something, it sounds like you're going to fall really fucking fast, and in 3.5 that means being a fighter without bonus feats
i think you may be better off playing a cleric or something else that won't be transformed into shit the moment they break some oath of celibacy or whatever
>>44916885
Roll for AC.
I don't mean armor.
I'm sure many of you can relate that finding someone to game with can be a bitch because so many gamers are a little... off.
I've been having problems filling some empty chairs, partly due to the first test - the beer test. If someone won't meet me at the pub for a pint then they can just fuck off. Whats even worse is the guys who show up at the pub but don't drink even if I offer to buy them a pint. If you won't have a pint with me, you can fuck off.
Any similar tests you use for new players?
>>44916665
If you offer a Bud I wouldn't drink that piss either.
>>44916665
>bud light
carbs kill gains, isn't bro?
>>44916665
not really.
Can't pass the beer test. I can take at most one shot of powerful drink. Any large amount of drink, weak or small, will make me vomit immediately.

"Here's what I want," you tell Nathan and Amy. "I want to actually relax and take a break today. After yesterday...fuck, after yesterday I need it. We all need it. Literally everyone here needs it and the only reason the medics aren't taking one is they're irreplaceable. But," you continue, "I...may...be bad at relaxing."

If cats can never be herded together, how could you have an army of catpeople without laser pointer technology?
>>44913937
Magic laser pointer.
>>44913937
I guess you couldn't? If catpeople behave like cats in nature, mothers would seek a mate during a heat period, conceive the child (or children depending on your personal magical realm), give birth and care for the newborns for a couple months, and then when they were big enough to fend for themselves they'd just wander off. Actually, that would be an interesting dynamic for a race if it wasn't so steeped in a fetish
>>44913937
By making them more like lion people.
Does this mean BL has a new series to milk to oblivion?
Not really milk, they've already set the last book in the series. There will be 12 total.
It's described as GW's "big event" of the year, and the story isn't that bad desu. A lot of interesting High Lords of Terra scheming and politicking. Which I at least have always wanted to see.
>>44907760
Sorta. It's a fixed twelve novels though. One a month.
Also Imperial Fists got wiped out, they're gonna be replaced by the Fists Exemplar.
Yes. And that's fine with me. At least their not raping important established fluff or ruining beloved mysterious characters.

Why are one of the most common and interesting places on almost every campaign ignored? Where do shops get their items? Where do they get the gold? How can they stay on business?
I am building a campaign about a party working for your typical adventurer shop, and I need details to make it stand out. Any ideas?
First of all, who is the target audience for the shop? Do they do supply the local militia? Do they serve adventurers? Farmers? Maybe the Shop only needs items which are useful to farmers and ranchers, so you get paid a higher commission for a vorpal scythe than a vorpal great-sword. Is there an on sight craftsman/enchanter? Would the party be gathering raw materials be helpful? What type of advertising scheme does the shop use? Do they even need one? Are they located right in the middle of diagon alley or are they the only place for miles with more interesting stock than horseshoes?
>>44904220
>First of all, who is the target audience for the shop?
Mainly adventurers. Seems like the most profitable group.
>What type of advertising scheme does the shop use?
None now that I think about it. Good point though. Maybe the first adventure could be something along the lineS of "save the day while yelling "GOOD GODS, THE GEAR FROM DRAGON SAVINGS INC. IS TOP NOTCH. WE SHOULD ALWAYS BUY OUR STUFF THERE, BY GOLLY" at every bystander.
>Are they located right in the middle of diagon alley or are they the only place for miles with more interesting stock than horseshoes?
It is located in a crowed city, and has plenty of competition.
Thanks for the insight. Certainly helped me come up with some ideas.

If a basic class weapon with the accurate quality also has the twin-linked quality, does the extra shot also gain bonus damage dice from degrees of success?
For instance, if someone with a long-las with the twin-linked quality scored two degrees of success to hit a target, would it be
one 2d10+3 and one 1d10+3 hit
Or
two 2d10+3 hits
First for no session this week
>>44903112
accurate is only good for single shots
twin-linked for automatic fire
you're welcome
Boss, I waz finkin'... how do dem humie boyz decide who'z da boss? Dem's all da same size 'cept for dem marine boyz, and dey's not da bosses of all humies. It just don't make no sense.
Well, the Emperor IS the biggest humie.
And the Primarchs are both the biggest Marines and the leaders.
So... size, still?
Also, they make up for height disadvantages with pauldrons and hats.
Humie bosses all wear bright gubbinz.
wot about dem pointy ears? how do they decide?
