>You are one of three characters: Samson, a spoiled bard, Dyrus, an axe-wielding rebel's son, or Rene, an orphan adopted by a high-ranking Director of an ominous empire, now a prepromoted archer-lancer. POV will rotate between them on a thread-by-thread basis, with a HIGHLY unlikely chance that someone else might someday take a chapter.

Samson and his team celebrates their conquest of Briggid Island, with it leaving only minimal pockets of Imperial occupation on some assorted isles people are already planning to take care of, a few of which are even surrendering on their own. It's taking a little while for the Dory agents sent to Oswald's little hideaway to do their thing, but hey, he has no idea where to look. It could just legitimately be a lengthy trip. Adelais has sort of chilled out since losing an eye, though she's still more than a bit of a nutcase at times, and she's taken to training...

You find your grandfather, sharing with him your concerns about your lack of real progress of late. "Am I legitimately not cut out for this?" You ask.
"Dyrus, just because you've hit a snag doesn't mean you'll remain that way forever," your grandfather promises. "And even then, I bet your lack of progress is all in your head."
"Yeah, but... I want to be useful to this army!" You insist, frowning. "If I can't get stronger before our most...

This is not ok
Why not?

Combining a fun hobby with the mundane and the educational is like mixing milk and water before drinking it.
>>47667187
No, its perfectly ok, you totally can learn something while having fun. And it's a good thing.
Even better if it is something actually useful and not just some trivia.
You're a sad faggot.
How do the Vampires, chaos, and Tomb Kings feel about each other?
There seems to be some overlap between them wouldn't vamps and kings have the favor of Khorne and tzeench?
>>47666790
They all hate each other. Chaos can't get at Tomb Kings or Vampire's souls as they're bound to their bodies.

>vamps
>having the favor of Khorne
THAT'S MY BLOOD REEEEEE
>>47666790
Vamps and tomb kings are unchanging. Chaos hates them.
Also souls are bound to the materium, chaos hates them.
The blood vampires drink, and the debauchery of their parties do not go to the chaos gods, chaos hates them.
So my GM is tossing around the idea of letting me start with a cursed magic item at level 1. My character is a terrorist and revolutionary hiding his identity behind a mask (the cursed item in question). He is a former beggar that was involved in the nobility as a performer before becoming disillusioned. He also has a bird theme.
Any thoughts on good ideas for cursed items? My GM also kind of wants it to be an heirloom.

If he's called Nightingale or Raven, scrap everything and start again. Sparrow and Hawk are almost as bad.
A pet bird that will go to a destination and explode when a key word is spoken to it. Anyone can say the word/phrase to the bird if they can figure it out, so the owner is not even safe from it. The blast is large enough to decimate a small room.
The bird does not come back. Use wisely.

Have you ever gotten bullied for being into the tg-life, either in your youth or in recent years?

Nah... but i bullied moba players in my school with wi-fi jammer and keep restarting routers for Ethernet branches in library...
I was a closeted nerd masquerading quite well as a Jock in an affluent suburban area outside Washington DC growing up in the 1990s. No one outside of my nerd buddies at the game shop knew about my hobbies which included pretty much all the GW games, D&D, Rifts, CCGs et al. I purposely went to game store of sufficient distance that I was unlikely to run into my own schools nerds.
I went to Lacrosse camp at the University of Maryland my Jr. year of high school. Some of the guys saw me reading a Shadowrun paperback novel in the lounge after hours. They started giving...

You coward
ITT: you provide constructive feedback and ideas to the poster above you, and only then do you submit your idea. Only reply to up to 3 people total to avoid the annoying wall of text "I must reply to Everyone" post.
In this way it doesn't become a masturbatory cycle of PC without anyone actually communicating.
My idea:
The fitharm
Runes. The pact ancient.
The fitharm are the people of the letters, who long ago made a pact with the spiritual world for power. In exchange for the ability to call on spiritual power without constraint...

I think it'd a relitively good magic system. The relative value to effect sort of thing seems somewhat arbitrary, but it justifies a lot of stuff, like why rare artifacts are treasures instead of just wood, etc.
I'm assuming this is just a method to create a nice magic systems for enchantments.
>>47665820
Thank you. Yes, it's just one system out of many, and it comes from a culture of noted warriors. Relying on magic to do the work for you is considered weak, but they see the runes as a craft , much like smithing out carpentry.

I would have asked you my own question but I'm at work, I'll let somebody else take thread question foe me.
Some friends and I are going to play a sci-fi post-apocalyptic campaign in the near future. It is supposed to be set somewhere on the US/Mexico border. While looking through available classes, I found one where a mask is class feature, to the point where the character can ask his mask for advice.
So my thought was a luchador. Sort of. The masked persona is of a brazen and brave (but dead) luchador as envisioned by the guy wearing it. The guy wearing it is meek, cowardly and not violent.
So, mask on - brawling, combat badass, with some serious bloodthirst who...

Fuck yeah, go for it.
>>47664994
This is a great idea and you are a pretty cool cat Anon.
I would consider not making the Maskless character *too* useless. Maybe he has some good book smarts or something? Or is actually decent at getting along? Maybe just very aware and a little paranoid, unlike the Mask who is heedless of danger.
Still, this could be a really fun character. Think about how the Mask might feel about the other party members vs how the Maskless feels (while knowing they're the same person). Maybe your character feels...

Luchador's don't take their masks off
Alot of Old and New Testament wonders have spell equivalents: from Create Food to (True) Resurrection. So, is there any system or an obscure splatbook with "Parting the Seas" equivalent?
Controlling/shaping water is a pretty standard thing in most editions of D&D.

Doesn't that usually only cover a 5ft cube?
