Way back supposedly the DnD cleric class was based around a vampire hunting sort of concept, and I'm guessing paladin came later

Aside from tradition I would say combat healing isn't very encouraged in most editions, so a more fighty class makes more sense to at least some of the people that make that decision as opposed to a more priest-like role

>>43767925
At the start, clerics were based on healing, while Paladins were based on attacking. Clerics were holy mages, Paladins were holy fighters.
These days Clerics are not nearly as squishy, so the gap isn't as big. However, Clerics do tend to have more abilities that can be used at range than Paladins, and can can be more versatile.

Clerics were always meant to be healers rather than front-liners, but people bitched about clerics dying too easily because everyone would run off and ignore the fact that their...

This is why I prefer them as distinct things. Clerics as basically holy versions of sorcerers/wizards. Not built to be tanky or physical combatants.

Recommending GURPS in every thread is a meme.

Liking GURPS is a thing, however, that some folks do unironically. I hear it's pretty good for gritty modern settings with firearms.

>>43767849
The name stands for Generic Universal Role Playing System, and it is exactly that. It can run any setting, any theme, any genre, in any time period, however it does not do anything exceptionally well.

My advice is that if you want to homebrew as much as possible but you don't want to make a game system from scratch, run it in GURPS because it will run it well, no matter what it is, but if you know of a system that is built to do what you want it to do, then run that instead.

The game itself is...

To expand on the previous posters' points a little, the reason recommending GURPS is a meme is because that's its purpose, to serve as an option for ANY situation.

So, no, it's not by any means the best system out there, but it is a viable option for essentially any campaign, and therefore, potentially the solution to any given issue you're having with it.

It's like, say, a Swiss Army Knife. If your friend asks you for "a tool" without being super specific, you hand him a Swiss Army Knife, because it's a mediocre version...

Got a tourney coming up for thanksgiving weekend.

Should I try to play Khador in an attempt to git gud with them or should I stick to my usual of trolls, albeit my lists are bit experimental?

>>43768114
Play what you know.

Also, Khador is terrible and Trolls are very likely in the top 3 in terms of faction strength right now, so jumping ship to Khador to be competitive makes no sense.

this happens down in a dungeon with no (nearby or yet known) exit and everyone is pretty fucked up, for the record.

Fuck no, it was obviously undead, and also, who cares? Alignment is the worst part of D&D, and that's saying something.

>>43767494
Seems reasonable, given the circumstances.

You have a group that is focused and directed towards your plot coupons, and you want to throw them off?

Have one coupon get stolen by a crime ring, which steals from a party member once the crime ring notices the party systematically disassembling them.

If you get bored, you can always kinda force them onto a sort-of "sidequest" like them getting trapped in a different dimension or them getting displaced in time by 100 years or something.

Have some other macguffin magically shrink them down to microscopic size and now they have to deal with the fantasy microscopic world.

Have fun with it.

Or straight out tell them you aren't really timing them on shit.

Ask one of your players if they have a past that could flesh out into an interesting sidequest for a short time.

It's ok for one character to have the spotlight for a little bit.

Shadow of the demon lord - Survival of the Fittest
https://u.pomf.io/bxrhhh.7z

An official (but actually relatively uninspiring) adventure for starting characters.

I think it would be a cool idea for each person to make two level 0 characters - one hand-made, and one totally random - and then they have to use whichever one survives (or just pick one if they both do).

You made it sounds like they tried to create worst game ever.

>>43766839
I tried this, they tried to make a super simple d20 system that just ended up being largely dull. It doesn't ever feel like the players can really become super powered heroes (whether or not you want that is personal preference) also they had a super edgy additional class in a separate rule book that had some of the worst magical relm I've seen. Let me see if I can find it.

As an example, this is from a one-off hentai.
The world has been covered in a thick toxic fog that is heavy enough to sail on. Humans constructed walls and shelters to live in.
Some people have jobs delivering messages back and forth, and some fish up old tech and artifacts.

It's a legend that some people adapted to the fog and live in it like mythical creatures. However, it's observably true that horrifying creatures resembling deep sea life live in the fog and will attack humans.

Wouldn't your players still wind up trying to fuck monster girls, though? Or would you just excise them entirely?

>>43765250
Just don't make them fuckable, or if you do, make that trait be a predatory tool to catch people, and have the PCs know folklore and rumors about it. Nothing makes a player more paranoid than knowing that it's a horror-y game and then meeting a strange, beautiful lady in a creepy place, in my experience.

The Rules:
Same system as Become The Dragon Quest. If you don't know what that is, it's best of three d20 rolls. I name a stat that sums up what you're trying to do, and if I don't name a relevant skill, you try to fill in the blank based on what you're trying to accomplish. “Break open the door” might be Strength based, but if you've been playing baseball after school and there's a lead pipe nearby, you could apply your Baseball skill to the roll. A 20 on the die is a crit threat, and if either of the other two rolls is 20 or higher...

We can't catch him with such a large party, but if we go in front of them, we have an actual chance. Further, his numbers don't matter for much, so long as we can slow him down.

Besides, we're hunters. While a royal hunt might consist of many men and hounds, a hunt out in the mountains is a solitary prowl.
