Help me build this, /tg/
I want to make a character like Tien from Dragon Ball in the sense that I want a character who focuses on hand-to-hand or martial combat, but also has a very powerful energy attack that he can use on occasion.
My friend insist on using Pathfinder so that's what I'm limited to.
What stats and more importantly class/race would you use to make a character who can do this sort of thing?
Also if you can think of a system that could do it better, let me know. I probably won't be able to use it, but I'd like to look into it.
>>48077730
Monk seems like the obvious choice, right? But it doesn't really offer powerful ki attacks like Tien's Dodon Ray. Maybe there's a better subclass of Monk?
>>48077730
Qinqong monk will do it. Just be aware that you're playing one of the lowest tier characters possible.

True facts my latest unarmed physad is based off of Tony
He makes the team uneasy
>>48077844
Group I was in, ST of an Edge of the Empire game dropped Tony in as a "friendly" NPC named Jack, who wore a Nexu mask.
Somehow, he and the Protocol Assassin Droid hit it off. The Outlaw Tech, not so much, unless you count knocking somebody out every time you meet them as a sign of friendship.
How would you handle an MMO tabletop?
Not a tabletop set in the world of an MMO, but a game that's meant to take place in an MMORPG.
I'm thinking of taking inspiration from Eclipse Phase, since treating your body like equipment is a core aspect of that game, but I'm sure there's a better way.
>>48077336
You explicitly allow metagaming at the table.
That's all.
The idea for the game is that it's 20XX and most things are done through virtual reality. Even stuff like shopping is handled in virtual malls, and you can have the real thing delivered to you.
The core focus of the game is on a massive MMO that just happens to also be connected to other VR networks because it's all by the same company or some such, everything is connected, whatever. I'm still figuring that out. One of the AIs has gone rampant and is corrupting things in The World, and even causing sickness in the real world through emerging Agent Smith type abilities. A second AI on the other hand grants the player characters access to debugging abilities that allow them to combat the evil AI and defeat the corrupted systems.
There's a bit of a thing going on where the AIs basically have to work within the limitations of the existing system, and end up taking the form of gods and demons, but really that's just to keep the evil AI from killing anyone connected to the servers and to make the game interesting.
Since it's an MMO, the players are able to swap out their Avatars. There'd basically be two types of experience: One for the players (so they can gain "OOC" stuff, like better skills to represent how good they are at the game or with social/mental tasks) and one for the Avatars, which learn Class Skills (i.e. magic powers).
>>48077575
That doesn't really cut it for what I'm talking about. The game is meant to revolve around replicating the mechanics of an MMO.
In addition to the character swapping, I'm thinking stuff like Friends Lists and Group Chat would be treated the way other games treat Telepathy spells.
I think I fucked up /tg/ and I need your help

What should I do to stop them from kicking out my character from the party or try to kill him?
One of the characters in the surviving is Lawful Good, what could I do to make peace with them?
>>48076948
If they're looking for an excuse to kill you, then get the DM to veto it because OOC is not to be brought IC, and that it's just a game.
>>48076948

Remind them that metagaming is immature

Oh shit, /tg/, the kidnapped king/queen has been released on the populace in it's Trauma-ridden form, throughly agitated by the villans to hit every switch in his/her PTSD gallery. (S)he is currently screaming, crying, shouting nonsense while spinning around as a whirlwind of gore as nearby unlucky civilians are caught be the desperate royal's immense skill. Direct approach seems useless as clearly the royal is in a mental state of desperate self defense, it's sanity under constant assault of horrible thoughts , barely being suppressed by mindless, instinctive lashing and assault against everything visible.
How do you/your party handle the situation?
>>48076486
With concentrated firepower.
>>48076486
My fighter would action surge and the king full of four sharp-shooter arrows for 1d8+15 damage. Plus extra if applying Battlemaster dice.
He would then, upon bringing the guy to 0hp, claim "Nonlethal takedown" as the rules of 5e permit, sending the kind unconcious but stable then shackling him in manacles and looking for someone responsible to care for him.
Is royalty elf? Sleep spell would work
DnD character art thread, Post them!
Just came back from postapocalyptic LARP. I've played as merchant and it was really fun. I've tricked some people, I lied with my every word and I've got annihilated by TNT taken by Lunatic to bar, where I was sitting with other characters.
Do you like LARPs /tg/? Or do you prefer less dynamic games or games with no face to face contact?
>>48076335
American live action roleplaying tends to be awful, so no.
>>48076335
Please tell me this image isn't actually from your larp.
Also, if you want to spark serious discussion in a larpthread, use a serious image.

Just returned from a ren fair kind of thing. It's an annual fair in an old castle, and they have a whole area designated medieval. There were potters, jewelers, a blacksmith, and someone who made instruments out of wood and clay. But most of it was just people hanging out in canvas tents wearing garb. I discovered that it's free, only vendors have to pay. And it lasts 2 days every year, so there's a sleepover. The public can watch but is roped off on the walkway. You can let them watch or remove the rope to invite them in. There's a lot of families with little children. One vendor sells wooden daggers, so they all run around with those.
There was a stage fight demonstration, lots of food, some live music, and a bunch of people I know from LARPs who brought bottles and bottles of shots.
It was nice.
ITT we discuss the awesomeness of arquebus, hand cannon, musket, and blunderbuss. We also discuss the absolute miserable failure of fantasy games to include them, and how to fix it.
i just want to be an arquebusier /tg/. is that too much to ask?
>>48075978
Because you have a group that is afraid that the inclusion of firearms; antiquated or otherwise, would ruin the "feel" of it.
Oddly, you have some who will unironically say something stupid like it's not historically accurate but then let something else slide because it fits their personal taste
>>48075995
>muh feels
do these people actually exist? i hate them so much.
>>48076068
Imagine when you see a topic about firearms in fantasy settings and people go to ridiculous lengths to justify the coexistance of melee weapons and firearms like saying the very chemical compounds to make gun powder don't exist or something stupid like that. They come up with these ideas as a way to maintain internal consistancy and yet how can the rest of life exist if the core chemicals that make gunpowder doesn't exist? Magic aint gotta splain shit?
Nevermind the fact that, from a mechanical perspective, let's take D&D for example there is really no difference between getting shot with a bullet versus being shot with an arrow which also sparks the sort of people who say that guns have to have ridiculous reload speeds to "balance" them out against other weapons.
In all, I just think it's people being stupid about it.
Tell me about the ogres of your setting.

What's the name of that trope where someone guards something for so long they die but they keep guarding it as a skeleton or a ghost or something because they've got their fucking orders and they're gonna stand here until they're relieved?
>>48073732
Why do you need to know the name of the trope?
Couldn't you just go to tv tropes and look up some story that does that to find out?
>>48073780
I can't remember any. There's Ryu's ghost army from LotR but they were there because they fucked up, not out of duty.
In TV Tropes, I don't think that trope exactly exists. It's a combination of purpose-driven immortality and a Revenant.
But because Our Revenants Are Different, they can just be a subtype of Revenants. Usually Revenants want revenge (Unfinished Business), but this Revenant has a purpose to fulfill, but the purpose doesn't have a due date.
Redpill me on the ultramarines, /tg/
What the fuck is red pilling?
>>48073353
They're the greatest of them all.
Lesser Space Marine races would have you believe in Space Marine equality or things like "Dorn Power", but the fact remains that Ultramarines have superior gene-seed.
Dear /tg/ I come to you with a question that's been vexing me for years.
What is the actual origin of the "metal bikini" trope? It certainly doesn't exist in the original versions of the fantasy short stories and novels often associated with it (like ERB's John Carter or Howard's Conan). I would guess that since bikinis became super-popular in the 50s that it's from fantasy literature or art made after that, but I honestly can't find any information.
Where did Red Sonja get her scalemail bikini for example?
>>48073189
im gana make a guess that it comes from Conan the Barbarian. and Xenia warrior princess. thats older stuff that is basically bikini armor.
my second guess would just be character art and general art.
>>48073189
>Red Sonja get her scalemail bikini
Not sure in the slightest about your question, but I'm pretty sure her bikini is silver coins oir something like that. Purely for show, not intended in any way to be protection - she would fight naked if she didn't have it.

Real thread because OP tried to remove the IRC and edition:
>>48073003
>>48073003
>>48073003
Also if the guy who made ti is here, you undercut me by like one second. I had submitted a new thread too.
I noticed that there was not Mage: The Ascension jump on the drive. I've done a quick check, but haven't found any reference to anyone currently working a jump for that setting.
As such, I'm going to start work on a Mage: The Ascension jump. I don’t really care if anyone makes another Mage: The Ascension jump, so long as any later author also doesn’t care if anyone else makes another Mage: The Ascension jump.
If someone has already 'claimed' a Mage: The Ascension jump, I'd appreciate it if some one could like me to the thread.
>>48075336
You want the other thread, this one is getting no attention and is likely to be deleted shortly. Don't think anyone's doing Ascension besides you, might have missed something though.
