Fun setting, at least.
You are Kusajishi Riku, Captain of the Ninth Division of the Seireitei Court Guard. After a taxing pair of duels you and Yoruichi managed to defeat your own clones, albeit at a cost. To defeat your mirror for certain in a single move you employed your modified kidō called Yūgure Kasō, which burned away your left arm as backlash and necessitated the use of a second vial of regenerative serum.
The result however was that your own copy was completely obliterated on the spot, with not even traces of dust left behind to mark her passage from the world, while Yoruichi lured her copy into a trap and destroyed her body. The fake Yoruichi's soul, contained within a small red pill, is now somewhere on your wife's person. It's likely her intent to interrogate the pretender before handing her off to Kisuke for a more in-depth analysis. Only problem is that there's still a lingering sensation in your new left arm that bothers you.
“Your replacement isn't quite right, is it?” Yoruichi asks, no doubt noticing the slight difference in how the limb moves as you walk towards the farmhouse where the Valhallans you were tracking had holed up. They seem to have been sheltering in place there while your own battles strayed increasingly far from where they began, the rapid series of hundred-meter-long strides having made it very difficult to keep track of such details.
“Sharp eyes,” you admit, gently stretching your fingers. First all at once, then one at a time... each careful movement feels slower than it should. Clumsier, too. “The muscles are naive, but that should improve with use. Sensation's just how it should be, so that's a bright spot.”
“True, had there been lasting nerve damage it would've been worse,” Yoruichi agrees, leaning over to rap her knuckles against your forehead. “Hey, Rosa! You know what to do, right?”
>1/2
>>47956649
Rosa's response is a silent one, but immediate. Tiny threads of reishi emerge from your left shoulder, near the base of your neck, and weave themselves into a net which hovers a mere finger's width above your skin. They run from your shoulder all the way down to the tips of each of your fingers, and slowly begin to sink themselves into your arm with a strange, spreading chill.
After the last thread disappears your arm begins to move to another's will, repeating your stretching routine with a measured speed far closer to your norm. The arm still feels weaker than your right, but it moves the way it did before you burned the old one off.
“I'm handing active control back to you,” Rosa informs you as a sense of control returns to the previously independent limb. “I'll keep up accelerating the process of healing and retraining your muscles until it's back to normal, but while I'm at it that's about all I'll be able to do.”
“Lemme know if my help's needed in a fight and I'll consider it.”
“Better?” Yoruichi asks, prodding your arm.
You make a fist, then relax your muscles once more. “Better.”
“Good,” she smiles calmly. “Now that we've solved that little performance issue, shall we have a chat with these Valhallans?”
The two of you stop in front of the door of the farmhouse, standing in a front lawn that looks as if it's been peeled back like the skin of an onion. Any time there are lumps of sod stuck in the lintel above the door something bad's happened.
They're certainly still inside, that much is for sure.
>Knock on the door, it might confuse them.
>Calmly allow yourself in. This should be a civil meeting.
>Kick the door in, it's Riku time.

Bolt Action: Empire in Flames
20th of June in military history:
451 – Battle of Chalons: Flavius Aetius' battles Attila the Hun. After the battle, which was inconclusive, Attila retreats, causing the Romans to interpret it as a victory.
1620 – The Battle of Höchst in the Thirty Years' War.
1631 – The Sack of Baltimore: The Irish village of Baltimore is attacked by Algerian pirates.
1685 – Monmouth Rebellion: James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth declares himself King of England at Bridgwater.
1862 – Barbu Catargiu, the Prime Minister of Romania, is assassinated.
1900 – Boxer Rebellion: The Imperial Chinese Army begins a 55-day siege of the Legation Quarter in Beijing, China.
1940 – World War II: Italy begins an unsuccessful invasion of France.
1941 – The United States Army Air Corps is deprecated to being the American training and logistics section of what is known until 1947 as the United States Army Air Forces.
1944 – World War II: The Battle of the Philippine Sea concludes with a decisive U.S. naval victory. The lopsided naval air battle is also known as the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot".
1944 – Continuation War: The Soviet Union demands an unconditional surrender from Finland during the beginning of partially successful Vyborg–Petrozavodsk Offensive. The Finnish government refuses.
1963 – The so-called "red telephone" link is established between the Soviet Union and the United States following the Cuban Missile Crisis.
1979 – ABC News correspondent Bill Stewart is shot dead by a Nicaraguan soldier under the regime of Anastasio Somoza Debayle. The murder is caught on tape and sparks an international outcry against the regime.
It is 1,565 years since the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains (or Fields), also called the Battle of Châlons or the Battle of Maurica. It was fought between a coalition led by the Roman general Flavius Aetius and the Visigothic king Theodoric I, against the Huns and their vassals commanded by their king Attila. It was one of the last major military operations of the Western Roman Empire, although Germanic federates composed the majority of the coalition army. The battle was strategically inconclusive: the Romans stopped the Huns' attempt to establish vassals in Roman Gaul, and installed Merovech as king of the Franks. However, the Huns successfully looted and pillaged much of Gaul and crippled the military capacity of the Romans and Visigoths.
In the years preceding 450, Roman control over Gaul and its other outlying provinces had grown weak. That year, Honoria, the sister of Emperor Valentinian III, offered her hand in marriage to Attila with the promise that she would deliver half the Western Roman Empire as her dowry. Long a thorn in her brother's side, Honoria had earlier been married to Senator Herculanus in an effort to minimize her scheming.
Accepting Honoria's offer, Attila demanded that Valentinian deliver her to him. This was promptly refused and Attila began preparing for war. His planning was also encouraged by the Vandal king Gaiseric who wished to wage war on the Visigoths. Marching across the Rhine in early 451, Attila was joined by the Gepids and Ostrogoths. Through the first parts of the campaign, Attila's men sacked town after town including Strasbourg, Metz, Cologne, Amiens, and Reims. As they approached Aurelianum (Orleans), the city's inhabitants closed the gates forcing Attila to lay siege. In northern Italy, Magister militum Flavius Aetius began mustering forces to resist Attila's advance.

You are the former United States Navy warship USS HOEL, now returned as a shipgirl and ready to kick Abyssal ass!
Currently, you were standing side by side with Portland, San Francisco, and Enterprise in the Tarawa's well deck. It was God knows what time in the morning, but it was pitch black outside, with only the soft illumination of the stars and moon barely highlighting the clouds and waves.
Naturally, due to the warmtime regulations, Tarawa and her escorts were running full blackout procedures, reducing external lighting and keeping electronic sensors and communications to a minimum. It was still uncertain if the Abyssals could detect, much less intercept or understand human communications or signals, but nobody was taking any chances.
Plus Argentina would start asking questions on why an American fleet was hanging around so close to its coast.
(cont)
>>47948500
"Are you ready, Hoel?" Portland puts a hand on your shoulder. You see that even in the dim lighting, her Rig, like yours, had been painted completely black, with extra cosmetic protrusions attached to make it resemble Abyssal design. Even her clothes were different, with her normal sailor uniform replaced with a simple form fitting black bodysuit. Hell, she had even removed her trademark glasses and undid her ponytail, making her look like an almost completely different person.
Meanwhile, you were pretty much the same. Your Rig was painted black and slightly modified to change its outline, and you were also wearing a black bodysuit. You didn't look EXACTLY like an Abyssal, but these measures, combined with the darkness of the night, would be enough to fool the regular human eye.
"Yeah, of course I am, Sweet Pea!" You nod, though you could feel your hands trembling slightly.
"If you don't feel comfortable about shooting at human targets, I understand." Portland leans in closer so nobody else could hear her. "I'll cover for you if that's the case."
>Yeah, I'm not too keen on fighting humans.
>We were originally built to fight humans, so I'm not bothered.

Is there a good mechanical reason to use a melee weapon in Cypher, except for a "nonmagical unarmed character"?
>Point-Blank Range: If a character uses a ranged weapon against a target within immediate range, the attack is modified by one step in the attacker’s favor.
Ranged weapons are more accurate than melee within 10 feet.
>As a part of another action, a character can adjust his position. This is considered an immediate distance, and a character can move this far as part of another action.
>As an action, a character can make a short move. In this case, he is doing nothing but moving up to about 50 feet (15 m). A character can try to make a long move—up to 100 feet (30 m) or so—in one round.
>This is a Speed task with a difficulty of 4.
>A character can also try to make a short move and take another (relatively simple) physical action, like make an attack. This is a Speed task with a difficulty of 4
Melee characters have poor mobility unless they take a special ability.
The "modern" and "sci-fi" equipment are extremely ranged-slanted. In "fantasy":
>Inexpensive: 12 arrows, 12 bolts, burlap sack, candle, rusty and worn knife
>Expensive: battleaxe, cutlass, quarterstaff, sword (all medium); bow, light crossbow (both medium with 100-foot range and no reload)
>Very expensive: Greatsword (heavy), heavy crossbow (heavy with 100-foot range and hidden reload time in page 26)
>Exorbitant: Elven chain (medium armor, encumbers as no armor)
In "fantasy," warriors, explorers, and combat-flavor (free) speakers and adepts can all start with Practiced in Armor and free elven chain.
Between a battleaxe/cutlass/sword and shield (rules for shields are back in Numenera/the Strange), a greatsword, and a bow, the bow is still the best because of range and point-blank accuracy.
Most decent warrior or combat-flavor abilities for melee have ranged counterparts, like Bash and Fury vs. Thrust and Deadly Aim. Mighty Blow works for ranged too. Remember, in Cypher, Speed > Might.
Cypher is simply unpopular, so it seems?
>>47947611
If you use your speed for attacks, you won't have speed left for defending against attacks.
If you focus all your edge and pools on speed, you won't have the might to take hits, resist physical effects like super-science poison and gravities, or even swimming in some futuristic ocean.
Have you ever heard of trade-off?
>>47948204
This logic is flimsy and fallacious.
For one, a character who has Armor 2+ (e.g. elven chain in a fantasy setting) will want to spend Speed Effort to defend only against enemies with devastating attacks. Spending Effort can help mitigate damage, but it is effectively automatic damage to oneself. If an enemy would deal 4 base damage - 2 elven chain = 2 damage to you, then spending 2 Speed points with Speed Edge 1 is foolish.
For two, Might-using characters are no better off against "super-science poison and gravities," because their Might Edge is cancelled out by the fact that they have to spend from their Might pool if they want to have good accuracy and/or damage from their attacks. Considering that Might is the pool that is whittled down by the vast majority of opponents, and that a pool dropping down to 0 results in a debuff, it is imperative to conserve Might.
Investing in Speed is generally better all around (though Intellect is even better on its own). Even if you *do* intend on focusing on melee for whatever reason, the ideal way to go about it is to be a warrior with stealth flavor, take Extra Edge, Practiced in Armor (elven chain), Thrust, and Fleet of Foot, wield a heavy weapon, and then move across the battlefield with relative ease while making Speed-based attacks with Thrust (Might cost goes down to 0 and Speed cost has a -1 discount).

Orbs are the best arcane focuses. Prove me wrong.
>>47944480
It depends. I've had a house rule staves can be treated as a quarter staff, so they offer that utility. Wands can also be concealed. Orbs aren't particularly concealable, and don't make sense to use as an actual weapon.

Okay, guys, I need some help.
As you might remember, there'll be a campaign at the FLGS, with teams of heroes trying to fight their way out of the realm of Shysh.
For this reason, every participant makes up a number of custom heroes; either 6 regular heroes, 4 mounted/flying/ogre-sized heroes or 1 monster hero.
>cont.
As a special rule, all heroes can use their Command Abilities, but only one Command Ability can be used per turn between them all.
In addition, all heroes gain the Command Ability 'Second Wind', which restores d3 wounds lost earlier in battle.
As you see, I plan on using Stormcast.
