So I was thinking about this:
Khorne is the Chaos God of rage, war, blood, anger, courage, honor, carnage, violence, and anything that goes into there.
Yet apart of these elements, Khorne came up with every single tactic imaginable, so he would not only be the patron of warriors, but also patron of leaders, generals and everyone who combines all the other things he's associated with along with leadership and tactical/strategic thinking.
Case: Egil Styrbjorn from Warhammer Fantasy.
Guy's a Norscan dedicated to Khorne, yet he literally massacred...

Hounds of Abaddon marines from the Black Legion maybe
The Sanctified maybe
idk brazen beasts use a lot of daemon engines
Overall, not really. Lots of chapters in 40k dedicated to khorne seem to wipe themselves out and leave daemons in their place.

War was a thing long, long before Khorne was born OP. Khorne is a manifestation of rage, hatred, bloodlust and martial pursuits, brought into existence by the minds of mortals with any sort...

Darn. And I thought that there would be actually a Khornate Warband that would focus to much greater degrees on tactics and using both their skills and what they have in the smartest ways possible while being led by a Chaos Lord that wants to become a personification of Khorne's tactical capabilities and leadership (like a Khornate Creed).
Is this actually a good game?
>>44746179
It is. It's great fun.
It's playable and not an unbalanced mess, though anything beyond that will largely depend on how much you like 40k, since that's where most of the fluff is drawn from.
I'd play it over any of the FFG 40k games, though.
Has jank balance/rules problems, but if you canq get past those it's a fun tool for setting up a game. I never use the given setting though, too jank.
So, in the absense of /hbg/, I have a project in mind. I looked around the internet for an Avatar roleplay, but only turned up circlejerk online RP boards. If one does actually exist then of course this post is irrelevant, but if there's honestly nothing then I was wondering if there's enough of an interest in the universe to grab some people to help write up some rules. Timeline could be Aang or Korra, or both, or something completely new.
If there are some anons who would be interested in the idea, let me know. It could be pretty good if we kept the autism to a minimum.

There was a good DnD4e version floating around some time ago.
>>44744784
I know there is an RPG system out there, but I just don't have the PDF.
>>44744784
I like 4e, and using 4e for Avatar, but the version that>>44745124 mentions is not great in my opinion. I've had more success by simply using some of the common feat-tax-aleviating house rules, then adding one feat for each elemental bending.

Firebending: whenever you use an attack power, you may change the...

>sorcerers and wizards get bard skills and 4+int skill points at level 1
Will this stop level players from trying to be Dumbledore? Will this be unbalanced at high levels?
>>44744556
>Will buffing the strongest classes be unbalanced
Yes, very. Also what the fuck do you mean trying to be Dumbledore?
>>44744582
Like "ooh I'm a wizard guys. I only take knowledge skills and during most dungeoneering I'm pretty pointless."
At this point in their career, a level 1 wizard is a dilettante who has picked up a few spells.
Oh, I also give all the fighting classes 4+int skill points. Sorry, forgot to mention that

What fucking dungeons do you fucking run? The Wizard/Psion/Int based fucker is pratically the party Pokedex for whatever monsters they run into. They're the ones identifying magic items, runes, and traps.
Is this fluff-plausible?

I wanted to shit on this at firstbecause /tg/, but the idea of some tribal marines working like the American Indians sounds pretty badass, especially after reading the comic East of West featuring OP af Native American.
Marines, codex compliant or not, work with other Marines on the battlefield no questions asked. Off the field, sure, they can hate each other.
So tell me. Who saves the weak from the man that saves the weak?
>>44743766
"I stab whoever said that in the face."
The player characters.
And no, nothing can save the weak from the player characters.
>>44743766
Other men who save the weak, probably.
How would one start to become a druid? I'm actually playing 3.5e. I'm just trying to get a grip on this backstory logistically and I never see a 3.5e thread. Maybe I'm weird but I can't start making a character sheet without this kind of info solidified.
I have a character leading a sheltered life on a large farm, possible visitors and sneaking out, but other than that, pretty much forbidden to leave. I could say there was a forest bordering the farm. I suppose it also could be when she was rather young and could later leave to fulfill whatever requirements...

It's rather bare bones to give people more freedom in terms of how they want to make their character. For example, they could have just grown up wandering in the woods, listening to nature spirits and picking it up slowly, eventually becoming a fully-fledged druid. Alternatively, there could be a higher level druid somewhere in the forest who took her on as an apprentice.
The important part is that at some point she developed a talent for Nature magic. The exact means is largely up to you, and as long...

I guess that's what I figured. I suppose it's me wanting it spelled out kinda carried over from the only table top I have played, WoD where a lot of these things would be pretty specifically said. Not that it's a bad thing. I think I'll go with the druid taking on her as an apprentice but still, since I made a whole thread and all, I'll also take into consideration what anyone else decides to input. Thanks!
While I have someone here who seems well versed in this, is there anything mechanically you might suggest for the character, given what you know so far?
Basically, fluff wise, your character at some point has to have felt the magical power of the world around them, and desired to pull from it. That's really all it takes. It could be anything from random chance to a dedicated life goal for a shaman in service to the nature gods, so long as the connection to the land is real.
Additionally, Druids do not "learn" spells like a Wizard or Archivist, or possess spells like Sorcerers. They can make use of the entire spell list available to druids, because they just draw from the wellspring of nature rather than their...

Tell me about Alpharius. Why does he wear the mask?

You wouldn't be able to figure which he was if he didn't.
