I'm playing a Rogue building to be a Shadowdancer in 3.5. My GM wrote me a check for a magic item worth 4000GP.
What should I get?
Fun is more important than combat IMO

So how fucked would tyranids/necrons/orks be if the Imperium teamed up with the Eldar and Tau for good?
Your question is too open, are the 'good' guys just working together? Or are they actually consolidating into one faction, sharing tech, resources etc
>>44280438
Either or?
and when I said "for good" I meant permanently
>>44280397
It would never happen, so it can't be considered in the current 40k setting. Humanity is too far into Xenophobia to even contemplate that. Space marines however we know have been known to mix in with them on occasions.
If the majority of Chapters teamed with the Eldar/Tau, they would be considered renegade with how heavy handed the Imperium is.

What kind of character are you playing/working on, /tg/? Tell me about their looks, personality, background, etc.
This is a character that I had a while back for a game, but there was only one session of it and it was awful. I'd like to bring her back in a future one.
It's a cleric/priest who was a nun in he church. Her diety's given her good undead-killing power in exchange for her never telling lies. She's ultra lawful good and is out to SMITE EVIL to the max.
>>44279896
Does she have any lies worth telling though? Give her a reason to lie to create conflict. It could be anything from a dishonourable family member to something she herself did in her past or present.

>looks
Smallish (5'6'', 150lbs) light-skinned male human with unkempt finger-length brown hair, light green eyes, and an athletic/acrobatic build. At 1st level (3.5), he wears dusty worn leather armor, a worn and tattered green hood/cloak, and has an assortment of rogue/ranger weapons. At 10th, he's upgraded to light mithril armor. At 20th, he wears short and practical robes w/cloak. He is 1/4 high elf, and often has short stubble.

What if the Emperor had just popped down to Angron's home world with all the War Hounds to help them defeat the slavers?
Angron would still have been a broken primarch
He would be mad about something else

Sorry, anon. How can I redeem myself to you?
>it's a /v/ thread
So. I'm putting together a Succubus as a PC for Pathfinder. Let me give some background to this decision.
Sitting talking with several friends discussing fun cursed items. Girdle of Opposite Gender being a classic. Hear tell of a Helm of Opposite Allignment. Come up with idea.
Succubus is summoned by mistake of a dude into dark magics and collecting enchanted items of intrigue. Manipulates him, drains him dry, and sees ornate helm on a shelf. Can't figure out what it does, puts it on for a giggle. Boom, Lawful Good. Is now disgusted with herself for all the things she's done up until this point to mortals through the years. Runs and doesn't look back. Wants to redeem herself by spreading the tales of great heroes and aiding in the adventures of new ones, possibly becoming one herself. All in all she wants to feel properly 'redeemed' for the shit she did and what she is.
Found a DM starting up a campaign willing to take it. We've decided to go with -2 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Charisma. Gets to keep Draining Kiss as a once per day (going up every 3 levels a use per day), and chopping off Profane Gift. Keeps Change Shape as spell like ability. Reasoning is we're doing a low level campaign and don't want to bother with CR conversion.
As a drawback for being a LG Succubus, DM set ruling where she has to make a daily Will save to stave off sexual frustration. Totes okay with this, find it hilarious. If she fails she has to seek out a willing 'partner' to help her relieve or start taking save and check penalties. Said I can yadda yadda the gist of it should the rest of the party not be comfortable with it, so, all good.
All in all fits in perfectly with the overall theme of the campaign he's setting up, which is 'redemption'.
Decided Bard because we're already going to have a Paladin and want to keep some level of party diversity.
So main problem I'm having is what KIND of Bard do I make? Buff/support bard? Dervish Bard? Rock goddess? Diva? Suggestions, le go.

Its the best game it knows
It's real. The absolute madman.
>>44279431
How does it play?
Why do problems always happen when you allow women in your group?
Because you need to understand that you can't touch your pee pee in front of them without their permission
Never had it happen to me. Maybe you just attract shit people in general?

Hey \tg\
I'm running a game with one character who's always stealthing about. He min maxed like a motherfucker and began the game at 7 Stealth. 7even is huge because it's a 1-6 stat, 1-7 skill game and such a stat is as godlike to wield as it is Hurculean to obtain. It was clean and he has many other weaknesses (uncharismatic, kindah dumb, very low endurance).
He takes everything really slow and sneaks around everywhere, relying on thrown explosives on the off chance anyone's observation beats his Stealth (iPlan to have a group commonly sporting...

It's hard to be stealthy if you're lobbing explosives; in fact, it should be more likely using them would reveal his presence.
I'm more interested in the Princess Peach picture you have there.
>>44279398
Provide situations where stealthing doesn't cut it. Not all the time, but try to limit the time he can shine to his share of the game time.
Examples specifically against this character would include social judo and goals, planning and puzzle solving, or endurance gauntlet missions. This is all providing the other characters excel in those areas, mind; try to keep the other PCs abilities in mind so they can actually do the things you're leaving for them.
Various time limits may also work,...

Min-maxing a character in stealth and then using explosives?
Pic-related.
I thought of a general sorta setting that I'd love to play in inspired by MGSV.
>A world ravaged by war to the point that countries are structured more like your typical fantasy land with villages separated by miles of wilderness
>mercenaries working for the general public
>Most tech and weapons is 80s and 70s era
>The PCs would be a group of independent mercs.
What yall at /tg/ think of this?
>>44279107
It sounds fun to me, but you have to make sure that you have the details right/consistent. Also make sure that all of your players know how the game works, the tone, and level of realism other wise shit is gonna hit the fan hard and fast.
>>44279145
I'll take that advice to heart if I ever end up running it, not like I've got enough experience to be a dm yet. might suggest it to my group's dm tho.

I'm running a Delta Green game as a sequel to a CoC game which went very, very well last Halloween. We've already gone through two sessions since, completing a pretty awful few days embedded on an island off Vietnam, and now there's only time to wait between missions. But that's not important. What's important is where they're going next.

The setting, by the way, is December 1965. This will be set immediately after the lunar eclipse on December 8th of that year.
I'm really trying to avoid the standard tropes of Shadow Over Innsmouth and other "town is found to harbor great evil" stories whilst also cultivating that essential abyssal feeling one gets when all is not as it seems. The townsfolk only have the slightest idea that what they're doing is perhaps objectionable, if only to outsiders, but these outsiders have experience they do not.

Take the Solar stat block, swap its greatsword for a maul, swap all fire and radiant damage it deals for lightning damage, make it immune to lightning damage. Maybe give it call lightning and lightning bolt at-will.

He's a god, bro. He doesn't need stats, just make shit up as you go along.
How does your character/party deal with traitors?
>>44278332
Scorched earth campaign against them. Doesn't matter how far they run, how many opportunities the party has to pass up, or how far out of their way they need to go.
Perseverance past the point of rationality is the order of the day. Treachery is the single biggest death flag an NPC can raise in the campaign, because my party becomes so angry that they will basically start shooting through each other to hit the traitor if it comes down to that.
It was quite impressive to watch them sabotage everything...
