whats this dyel faggot's name again?
Hello Elegen/tg/entlemen.
When making my D&D setting, I realized that with enough money and time, a middle class citizen of the Kingdom can hire a magic tutor. I figured if this was possible, there would be a whole class of citizen that is at least somewhat magically adept.
What I want from you is to pick THREE cantrips from the D&D/Pathfinder books that YOU would choose to learn to use in normal everyday life*.
*Tech level is around 1850.

Friend been talking about running a Song of Ice and Fire campaign with the Green Ronin RPG.
He does seem to get a bit salty when I whip up a character with the following stats:
Fighting: 6
Athletics: 6
Agility: 6
Endurance: 6
Awareness: 6
Cunning: 4
Will: 4
Survival: 3
Marksmanship: 3
Animal Handling: 2
Everything else: 1
Leftover 60 points to bump up either two of the 6s to 7, either of two of the 4s up to 5 or one up to 6.
Specialties would probably end up drumped on resilience and stamina.
Also picked Massive, Tough...

>Is this as gamebreaking as he fears it could be?
Not if he remembers to add a bunch of INTRIGUE and problems that can't be solved with direct combat, but then it will be less "Haha, xXFAGBALLSXx has a challenge!" and more "xXFAGBALLSXx has nothing to do here".
>Am I making pic related?
Yes, but it's easily fixed by giving up a couple points to add just a little variety, and then make sure you make xXFAGBALLSXx...

With those stats you'd BTFO the mountain in the first second.
If you create your own lore/campaigns, how detailed do you like the world's religions to be? What, if any, real world religions do you base them off of? And how do they play into the main story?
>>44233882
If there is any religion, then I'd probably put in a variety of local primarily nature-based religions.
I usually just keep it to one god that's worshipped in a variety of ways.
Until one player just ruined everything by asking so many questions I wanted to set him on fire.
>>44233882
If it's a classic fantasy system I go in depth to make some cool stuff. In this case I make "one" religion with a large pantheon. About 90% of the population believes in all the gods but will only worship one as their patron. From these deities I can make tons of holy orders and fun things for the players to run into. These are usually key to the story. I generally make up them up on the spot and try not to make them too much like any real religion.
If it's sci-fi I make a bunch of religions...

Fuck off OP
>Exalted
Cat people already exist as Beastmen or Wyld Mutants in the East and Southeast. Aside from their own communities the majority of Creation revile them as mutants and less than human. They look it too with a more feline than human appearance. She wouldn't be sexy, but if she has high Appearance she would have the majesty of a great wild-cat.
Backstory wise she can have her parents slain while she was very young, and she herself taken by slavers. Her new master raised her to kill.
You just need to figure out why she's...

You know, I just realized something I didn't miss from my old life. I fold my slightly syrupy arms over my chest, sending a ripple slowly through my slimey body. I shiver and jiggle as Kandence sneezes, all wrapped up and bundled under quite of few coats and scarves, including a weird little tail cozy thing.
Yeah, I didn't miss having to stand out side for PE for what seems like hours on fucking end, don't know why I have to be out here,...

I also notice he's wearing what looks like the bastard progeny of a suit of armor and a bomb suit, looking as bored and emotionless as usual as he raises a card to his eyes and sighs.
"Well, most of you have been in your new bodies for a month or two, or even three" He says with the barest hint of annoyance "and today we're going to be making sure you're getting used to it and how to safetly act around...other people without harming yourself or them, as well as making sure...

Welcome to The Lost Island Quest. Last thread our hero, Alan Rodain, finished his rescue mission, discovered Island orcs had captured a Cerilian diplomat and successfully tapped into the powers of his bloodline. He now sleeps, preparing to take on a new day.

Your eyes open to the sound of birds chirping and the light of the sun shining through your window. You look over to see Ed still sound asleep in his own bed. You made your discovery at around two in the morning so it's about six right now. You quickly settle into your required hour of prayer. Just as you finish communing with The Great Will, Ed gets up and starts studying his spellbook. You say hello before you sit down at the table next to him and the two of you relax into a nice silence as you look over your respective tomes.
You only have three spells written down in the thing, but you're very new to trying to gleam information and re-orienting yourself with the sketches and steps you've illustrated. While Ed goes from spell to spell, rapidly reacquainting himself with moves he's practiced and performed for months, it takes you thirty minutes just to remember the complicated procedure to get the grease spell to work.
All in all, it's a lot like working out. But for your brain rather than your muscles. Like an actor who must memorize his lines for an up-coming play. Some parts are easy and memorable, others are quite tricky and will be for awhile. After an hour passes by and the both of you have succeeded at warming up your minds, you head down to the second floor to grab breakfast. (1/3)
As you bite into your sandwich, you think about your new life. This is the end of your third week on the Island. A lot has happened in the past two months. You're an adequate sorcerer, a novice wizard, you have a modicum of access to the divine as well as some training in martial arts. Although it'll probably plateau soon, you've really been skyrocketing in terms of new skills. You've paid your way into both the Fighter's Guild and the Circle of Mages, you've become a reliable agent of Blackburn's and your group has some small measure of renown...

“So,” Ed pierces the natural silence. “You're a wizard now too. That's, uh, neat.” You nod. “Honestly, that might be a big enough accomplishment to earn your membership for next year if you're able to write a thesis on how you synthesized the two.” That doesn't sound fun, but it beats spending 1000 gold. “You'll probably make it to mage status.” You look at him quizzically.
“Oh, you probably weren't told anything about the ranks either, were you? So, acolyte is you, me and anybody who've recently joined. We're the bottom rung, about sixty altogether. Next up is your mages. They're anyone who has had their membership fee waived for adding something of worth to the Circle or 'the magical community' which is essentially just the Circle. Maybe thirty of them. They take up the fifth floor. Then you have your Circle Magisters. They're the elite spell casters and only the Archmage herself can raise you to that rank. They get to have a vote in the Circle's policies. Currently there is only ten of them and they live on the sixth floor. Archmage gets an entire floor to herself. And, uh, that's it.”
As the two of you chat, you notice that aide of Blackburn's approach your lunch table. You look up at him expecting this to be some sort of message for you. Your expectations are quickly dashed as he turns to Ed.
“Blackburn is offering a payment of fifty gold to any Seaside inhabitants with Orcish blood willing to donate some for study at the Research Library.” Before Ed can really respond the aide nods to the both of you and heads out of the room. Ed quickly glances around the place to see if anybody paid attention to what just happened. Nope, the anti-social magic junkies have their noses in their books, oblivious to the real world.
“Well, I guess I'm doing that now. Have a nice day Alan.” Ed gets up and smoothes down his coat.

>Investigate the magical helm

Sup /tg/, I was reading about Warhammer's lores of magic, and after reading the schools of magic from DnD, I was inspired to generate their bastard lovechild. Here it is:
The chromatic lores of magic, as defined by the Bohemian College of Sorcery, are characterized by their different effects and manner of working. They are as follows:
Red: Evocation. Summoning familiars and firebolts, etc.
Orange: Creation. Using nature to attack, creating familiars, and healing via stimulation of body's natural processes.
Yellow: Transmutation. Buffs and debuffs,...

So it's just D&D magic schools with colours stapled on? Kinda disappointing.
The White/Black thing is kinda interesting, but also so incredibly vague that you could argue practically anything as being whichever you prefer (for example, after getting your leg chopped off it SHOULD be separated, and the bacteria should spread and grow because those kinds SHOULDN'T be in contact with the gory insides of your leg).
>>44230289
It's not very interesting.
It mostly looks like you've assigned colours to D&D magic.
The best part of Warhammer's system was it was thematically appropriate and roughly elemental, it wasn't 'categories' of how to do things.
Something which you've mostly ignored.
>>44230346
the white and black magic is just like positive energy and negative energy in DnD

Favorite miniature gaming/tg/related YouTube channel?
My vote goes to Guerrilla Miniature Games/Ash.
Loads of different games, entertaining and informative battle reports and great background info videos.
My favorite's Ash's stuff, too. I just wish that he didn't do his first episode of AoS with his older WHFB minis; it kinda gave AoS a bad name. But his AoS BatReps from second episode onward have been great.
>>44228537
When AoS got released I watched some videos and pretty much every single one gave AoS a bad name.
I haven't played it at all, I think it might be a neat quick gateway tabletop but all the early videos on YouTube make it look like 10 terahitlers.
>>44228507
GMG/Ash really needs to upgrade his fucking production quality. Those title cards and sequences make me cry.
Also he really needs to emphasize the fact that the channel is supported via patreon much more, I'm sure plenty of people have no clue that they can even support him via patreon. And IMO he could/should totally "lock" some of his content behind the patreon paywall. There are tons of people that aren't willing to donate money if they don't get anything for it, regardless of how small.
>Portal to a fantasy world opens up Gate style.
>The fantasy world can actually fight back.
Explain why.
>>44225866
Magic.
Duh. Fuckin' retard.
High fantasy setting, where magic is stronger than technology, for example enchanted armour that can deflects bullets, if not rockets and tank shells, dragon riding knights, demon summoning warlocks and golem building wizards
>>44225866
Fantasy world has a technology on its own, along with magic.
>Turning out the brigand's pockets, you find a few copper coins, a pair of wooden dice, and a small, perfectly round rock.
They spent the next hour figuring out if the rock is magical. Eventually one of them swallowed it just to see what would happen, and another player sliced his belly open to get it back. The group devolved into in-game fighting, then ooc arguing, very loud racial insults were exchanged, and we're now banned from the FLGS.
I love fucking with my players.
>>44225148
Sounds like a bunch of top notch players you've got there, what kind of magic did it actually possess?
>>44226454
Madness aura, clearly.
>>44226454
Nothing. I just like including worthless loot items to make the world more believable.

Post-apocalyptic Middle East campaign.
Where do you set it, and how do you do set the mood/setting?Please no /pol/, I'm serious. I actually want to run this. I'm considering urban parts of Israel.
It's really hot, there are large stretches of desert between fertile areas, but the lack of overall moisture means the structures there will survive a lot longer. The local petrol sources would be nice but it's not really all that useful without ways to refine the raw stuff. At least there's plenty of easily-accessed weaponry for self-protection... and more. If modern religious sects seen today exist in the post-apocalypse, it might be pretty dangerous outside of what caused the apocalypse in the first place, if applicable.
>>44222558
Oh man, the petrol shit just gave me an idea, even if it might not work out.
Gang of raiders out of Dubai jacks the fleet of supercars their police own. A rusted to shit Bugatti Veyron with a PKP mounted out the passenger window and armor plating on it, leading a fleet of sports cars Mad Max-style.
Impractical but cool as FUCK.

So how exactly is it any different to how it now looks there?
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but I was directed here to /tg/ if I wished to read more stories in which humanity endures the odds thrown against them.
It doesn't have to only be humanity as a whole vs aliens, but more localized like planets defeating an entire invasion force, or even a colony of humans just outlasting their would-be overlords.
I was hoping /tg/ had more that they wouldn't mind sharing, either as a screencap, or an archived thread of such stories, or even a pastebin of said works.
I'll go ahead and post the 4...
