How would you play a hero race based on H.R.Gieger's work?
Like, despite looking repulsive and monstrous, they are actually the ones preventing the industrialization of the world?
>>48183851
Make them very individualistic. They have the mindset or notion that Industrialization takes away the value of a person, a being of great potential being reduced to another gear or cog in a machine only to be replaced when they find someone better then them.

"instead of taking from the earth and creating a machine to do the work for you, take from the earth only what you need to become what you must in order to get the job done yourself"

First I'd learn how to spell Hansruedi's name.
Then, it's been done. From the Xenomorph in the Alien series, which was entirely inspired by Giger's work, to the Harkonnen in Lynch's Dune, which was at least colored in Giger's tones although the sociopolitical details come from Herbert and I don't know where the gay stuff came from.
Now I'm not sure what your beef with industrialization implies exactly, but I'd be totally up for a hidden ecosystem beneath...

Any more opinions about the heavy support Malcador?
>>48180693
We'll see.
Also, some legions have only 2 specific units, while others have 3. Will that be fixed in the next book? (or at least in the DA/WS/BA book?)
>>48180634
Mostly loaded down with Vindicators and Havocs, followed by more single units like a Basilisk, Deredeo, etc... Between the legion uniques and IW generally having a hard-on for armour I end up running out of room, and just want more big guns.

>deep in the dungeon, you find a small child
What's a non-terrifying explanation for this?
Illithid nobles have bet an entire inheritance on who could keep their chosen human child alive the longest while never directly influencing them. It just so happens this girl happened to get "lost" in a cave while coincidentally avoiding every single monster and abomination your party recently just slaughtered minutes to hours ago.
>>48179281
>"Oh thank the gods, we've found the superdungeon's safe haven city."
>>48179281
There's a chute or hole that connects to the surface that is hidden and the kid fell down it.
Dragon keeps a hoard of children
Mongol keeps a Horde of children
Pimp keeps some whores who are children.
Boatsman keeps some oars which are children.
A previous party that came through hte dungeon brought their mascot along and then the rest of the party died and the mascot has been surviving ever since. (like that child in jojo part 6 who lives in the ghost room of impel down).
How does your mom feel about your tabletop habits?

She's happy that I have friends, and that I'm not doing anything stupid or wasteful.

> PC is fighting with one hand weapon
> Off hand is free
What can the PC do with the off hand in a combat situation?
I'm looking for something to give one-handed combat some distinctive property, not just being subpar until you got a shield or a two handed weapon.
I was thinking about a bonus to disarm, or maybe getting up close and personal and trying to unbalance the enemy (giving...

You don't really fight one-handed in that case. You use a dagger, or something like that. You know, as long as it's not some kind of sport competition.
>>48175157
I agree that everything resembling a weapon (or a shield) in the off hand is probably better than not having a weapon. It's just common sense: you have something you could use, why go empty handed?
I was just thinking if there really is some kind of way to make that empty hand interesting, beside filling it with another weapon, or shield.
Or if it's just it's fate to be subpar until you arm it.

Some sort of grappling bonus?

My mate was scattered across the multiverse and I was killed, trapped forever in the astral realm while people try to feed my soul to a god I created.

Until the local TO banned the Klawstompa, I had a list of Zhadsnark, Klawstompa and Traktors. Unfortunately, the TO complained to ITC enough for them to remove their tentative approval. Now I'm getting people to try to flood the ITC questions box with the Klawstompa to try to get it ITC approved. In the meantime, I would be able to switch to Buzzgob, but that stompa won't be as effective as Da Knight Flinga.
Since people in the last thread seemed to think orks could put up...

Judging from the spoilers, it looks like Lifegain is going to be a strategy in draft. What are the chances this will move from completely unplayable to remotely playable?
In virtually every case, doing damage to creatures or players or countering spells is a better use of mana than healing. Pic related: another card that is strategically a trap choice.
Guaranteed.

Sir Aaron Annesly is a noble of in Water Deep. He is infamous for constantly spending time with those below his class, despite his upbringing. His family is known for their pride in their bloodline, and their distaste for watering it down with nonhumans, most so with half breeds. Aaron has shown little to no care for this, however. He spends far more time amongst the merchants, learning their trade, and has the ear of the city guards. He is rarely seen without his squire, Patsy. Patsy is a bumbling idiot, but Aaron bears with him since the young fool was recommended by Lea,...

His other titles include Knight Tentacular of the Holy Order of the Tentacle, the Liberator of Elelphants, Psion Extraordiare, and in a small italian town, Spaghetti Man. This fresh faced young hero's goals are no more than to be a hero, and spread the good word of the tentacle. His traits include heroism, bravery, unsurpassed intellect, childlike innocence, and giving himself titles, and secretly being a dire polar bear. His flaws include obliviousness, foolhardiness, is literally 12 years old, gives the party unforgettable titles, and lacks opposable thumbs and can't fit through doors because hes a fucking bear. He is allied with Raptor Jesus, also known as Ketharuil, and a pasty little mage named Zaniel. His enemies include elder evils, bad guys and color yellow. His other relations are his adopted sister Charlotte, an aranaea weaver, and Kirahe, the paladin whose body he used to inhabit. He wears a magic item to look like his old form, as seen in the picture, but switched minds with a polar bear.

What the fuck is the subtext here?
Is the man succumbing? Is the vampire succumbing? Who is succumbing, and to what? What is being succumbed to?
Vampire is offering human a steaming cup, probably full of vampire blood. Human is succumbing to the temptation, taking the cup of vampire blood to become a vampire.
