It's a symbolic thing. Goats, with how they eat everything, ruin fertile fields and turn them into wastelands. So they're associated with destruction, even if they're not particularly deadly. It's to represent how the chimera is not just a monster but an abomination that ruins the world by its mere presence.

The goat is frightening to the common man as its head is on the same level as their crotch, and armed with durable horns. You likely do not know of this particular discomfort, as you have never had any testicles, Brother Leandros.

Also, Heresy.

BLAM.

>>44596870
Ramming horns, giving the creature multiple avenues of attack each beast composing it lacks. The goat head can ram its foes, the lion can bite and claw, and the snake can bite and constrict. They should've added poisonous stingers or something. Would make for an incredible challenge, brother.

Because they're aliens.

No, really, that's the entire reason. We find healthy humans beautiful, and Tau are an entirely different species.

They probably think we're ugly, too. But they'd be wrong, because they are the ugly ones. Damn zenos.

Why should they conform to human standards of beauty?

As it is, HUMANS in 40k are ugly as fuck, too.

YOU HEARD a piece of bad news on the way: A cosmonaut known to many was on-route to rotation to Callisto. His name was Mikhail Lebedev. He's been around the block and known by quite a few. During joint-nation training, you were introduced to him at Star City, the nickname for the Cosmonaut Training Centre. A lot of people eventually work with Lebedev up in space after training, and you were one to make fast friends with him.

Meanwhile, as your ship gets nearer and nearer now to Callisto, you've felt a nagging feeling again. The experimental "booster"...

That ASSHOLE.

First he steals from me, then he rubs it in my face with this retarded "calling card," and now he's threatening Charlotte too!? I swear to God, if he was right here, I'd just-

"Hey."

I jump at the sensation of a hand touching my shoulder.

"...oh," I breathe a sigh of relief. "Theresa."
"Yeah, it's not like I went anywhere," she replies.
"Sorry," I shake my head, "reading this stupid card has me all pissed off."

Out of fear that I'll end up lasering it to death, I shove the card at Theresa and then head for the door. With her hurrying after me, I stomp down the stairs and return to the living room where I left Charlotte... and it looks like she's made herself more comfortable since I left her a few minutes ago.

Seeing her all sprawled out on the couch like this without a care in the world almost makes me forget my foul mood for a few seconds.

They're just a crappy flavor of caster with a shitty spell-list. Not a fan to be honest.

>>44594769
You can play a better bard most of the time by just tacking on levels in musical prowess in your skills list.

The only exception I've ever seen is Anima, in which you can literally cut the shit out of people with rockin' lyre playing. And one time in D&D 3.5e where I watched a munchkin fucking whistle his spells so he could keep his hands free.

>>44594769
They were my first class, and I love them. I usually go with human, but any race can be fun from a flavor perspective.

My favorite thing to do with them is branch out what their "performance" is. It doesn't just always have to be a lyre and some singing; dancing or acting can be fun, too.

A page from a beginner's spell book, containing the very first spell she was ever able to cast.

A very large axe.

The amount of people he killed with it makes him very sentimental about it.

had a gnome that only used a greatsword for sentimental reasons

>>44593521
Dwarves because they have large steel dreadnaughts while every other race uses faggoty wooden ships.
Dwarven craftsmanship is top-notch, they have amazing camaraderie and boarding their ships is very hard because their decks are dwarf-sized. All this makes dwarves wildly superior not only on land, but also on the sea.

Elves would make great sailors, they have a natural trust for one another and generally believe in the greater good for their people so there would be little threat of mutiny.

On top of that their natural dexterity would make them great swashbucklers and rope climbers, and keen elven eyes could spot threats early.

The Hadozee from 3.5 D&D, apemen who are naturally at home in the rigging of a ship

It's not the revised version.

IDK, I've never played it. My FLGS has the reprints though.

>>44593517

I ran that system for quite a few years and remember it very fondly. That said, even I don't think it was perfect.

To answer you question: class / level based system.

Play online over IRC or some other text-based medium.

It's technically practice, but you will be getting better at roleplaying both by doing and by observing and copying the other players. Eventually you will be at a level where you can produce competent and eloquent blocks of roleplaying text, and then it's just a matter of speaking those out loud.

My suggestion would to build up your confidence in everyday social actions. The more comfortable you feel with yourself in general, the more comfortable you'll be role playing.

Find a good group that'll be patient with you. Maybe even others who are in similar situations as you are. Knowing that its just a game and there are little major consequences for mistakes, your objective should and always be to have fun.

Create a sturdy character with a few major bullet points of personality. Reference these points whenever you can. Perhaps try giving your character a few catch phrases tied to the bullet points. That way you'll have a rehearsed response that would fit with your character. Once you get comfortable you can connect dots and add more to your character.

Never feel that you are abnormal. Everyone roleplays differently, everyone gets something different from playing. The common denominator is that everyone wants to have fun. Get in a good group and you'll quickly get the hang of it.

>CthulhuTech

It's bad but it's not *quite* as bad as /tg/ makes out. The fluff is okay… nothing grand but okay, a bit too much edgy but nothing out of place. The system is serviceable if nothing amazing It's not FATAL bad.

The only major problem is how broken the power level is of the different classes. There is no over lap. Your players either all need to be taggers or no ones is.

But if your looking for a cthulhu vs robo tech game it will do the job.

>>44592756
Cthulhutech isn't that bad. There's issues, yes, but mostly they're easy to handle. The only thing you can't do, that breaks everything utterly, is something it straight up warns you about: Do. Not. Mix. Splats. Taggers will laugh at anything but other Taggers. Mechs step on anything not on mech scale like they're ants. The... shit, the Evangelion expies, whatever they're called, the shit on anything, including most mechs.

Except that even though they claim inspiration from Macross for part of the setting, the only part that resembles Macross is their Zentraedi knockoffs.

Off-hand, the best system I can think of would be Dogs in the Vineyard.

>hurr Mormons

No, really. I've used it for several different "band of wandering warriors" settings, and it works really well for what it's designed to do: tell a fun story about people in quasi-authority making hard decisions. It's pretty easy to pick up once you get the hang of it.

Too many.

Not many. Most end up as gods or trans-dimensional beings before all is said and done.

No, this is not an excuse for you to make the PCs suddenly cease to exist because it's statistically impossible for them to be together.
