News that should be on Twitter or Tumblr but isn't because I'm lazy:
>Combat is being overhauled thanks to a suggestion in a thread that is now found in the Suggestions Doc
>As per a suggestion on the Suggestions Doc, races are now getting several more Racial Traits, with players being able to choose from two.
>Some Skills are getting axed or repurposed to cut down on redundancies
I'm also reformatting the PDF to be better suited for a limited-run physical printing. However, I want to be sure that the game is actually more polished and more complete. I don't have an exact timetable for a release (per the usual) but ideally I'd have a physical copy in hand for Momocon (late May). Even if it's an updated version of the old-as-hell v0.3 that I have in a binder.

>Combat overhaul? What's that?
Well a while back we kinda' decided that it was time to abandon a raw Damage to HP form of indicating that damage was done, since that just doesn't suit the narrative of Dragon Ball and was kind of a pain to balance for.
So somebody suggested that we look at a game like Legends of the Wulin to get an idea for how we could implement a system where damage dealt doesn't necessarily directly correlate to health lost. So now we've got a system where for every 5 Damage done to an opponent, that opponent adds 1 DC to a test to soak the damage. Soak tests are STR + TOU, and can be increased with armor or by blocking. The net failures of the soak test result in "Damage Effects" rather than health lost, which are effectively narrative injuries backed up mechanically by fatigue or other status effects.
We're planning on having a bunch of sample damage effects (that lack hard math, meaning that they'll be functional this time around), ranging from "You're hit hard enough to be winded, but not so much that you've taken lasting damage. Increase Fatigue by 1," to "The blow finds purchase and you hear a sickening 'crack' as the wind exits your lungs. If you were hit by a Called Shot, that limb is now broken. If the called shot was to the head, you are unconscious for [an indeterminate length of time]. If you weren't hit by a called shot, your now have several broken ribs. Increase Fatigue by 2 and you may not move next turn."
Ki will get a different set of damage effects just so we can have "You emerge from a cloud of dust completely unscathed," and "You struggle to survive, but you never stood a chance. You feel an overwhelming burning sensation, which gives way to a total numbness as your nerve endings are completely seared beyond repair. Panic sets in as you see your limbs turn to ash and break away from your body. If you wish, you may let out a single, short exclamation before your torso is evaporated."
Your 15 minutes of /tg/ fame ran out a long time ago.
>>46515649
In addition to the damage mechanic replacement, there's also various revisions being done to various combat actions.
-Block is being changed from a Full Round Action to a Reaction that players use to add to their soak pool.
-Reactions are being revised to allow for a reaction per attack rather than per round
-Afterimage is being revised to something that occurs after a high enough number of net successes to dodge is met (ie: if you get at least three net successes to dodge you leave an afterimage that confuses the opponent, who may make a relevant test to immediately acquire the target (Sense Ki, Perception, Search, ect) or otherwise reacquire the target at the top of the round.
-Special Combat Maneuvers are being added to allow for more depth in combat. These include acts such as:
>Called Shot (how was this not there?)
>Feint (Revised): On a successful Deception test vs the target's Perception you may remove a number of dice from their reaction by the number of net successes, and add those to your own attack.
>Knockback Attack: A punch or blow of some kind that results in the target being pushed back by a number of meters equal to 10 meters per success. The target may make a Fly test with a DC equal to the successes the attacker made to hit. If they fail the target loses their next move action readjusting.

What's the best way to field a squadron-heavy "carrier"-feeling fleet in Armada?
>>46513932
As a complete casual I'll say that a Neb-B Escort with the Yavaris title can be amazing so long as you keep it from being focused by a cap ship.
Nothing tickles the nuts on an ISD like a double-tap from Keyan Farlander and friends.

I didn't realize this was the Fantasy Craft General.
I turned body horror up to 11. My players are ever more uncomfortable. Things are going well.

Can't complain if you are dead.
All in all, it's a good plan to make the knights a male-only job again.

I gave one of my players a circlet that protected her body like a plate mail, independently of the armor worn.
She didn't opt for the bikini armor, still kept a chain mail.

Punch edition. What sort of MArtists and brawlers have you played? Did they give that proper Wuxia feel? Which style/form weapon do you prefer?
>>46484990
As big as they need to be.
Cecelyne is so big it takes 5 days to cross her
Kimbery is so big that nothing can cross her without her aid.
Malfeas is so big that he imprisons all the other Yozi despite several of them also being bigger than him.
>>46484990
Yes.
Any individual one, metaphysically, if not physically, is massive. A grand and majestic thing that has to express itself not only through one existence, but several MORE sub-beings, and even THOSE must be sub-divided further.
Imagine trying to explain the fullness of a human being's existence to an ant, or a squirrel.
Physically, they're generally no smaller than geography, and most exist in multiple bodies, any one of which could be as large as a mountain range or as small as an insidious thought between your ears.
>>46484905
Playing one now. Resistance Supernal Dawn with lots of points in Brawl. Just wades into battle and beats the shit out of people, often with OTHER people.
Let's play a game: Describe an existing setting. Others first decide whether or not they want to play it and then try to guess what setting we're talking about.
I'll start:
>An alien race is successfully conquering the universe, colonising planet by planet.
>They share no biological resemblance with us, each alien is composed of energy and specifically created for a single purpose within the colony.
>However some of these aliens fail their purpose.
>The squad that was sent to colonise earth failed to do so and instead grew fond of the earth.
>The break off contact with the colony and use the advanced tools they have to start a rebellion.
>Humans are unaware of the war that has been started between the rebels and the colony, but the threat is looming.
Would you play it or not?

I would never play a setting that uses nickles as its primary coin!

What are your personal house-rules/system hacks? Do your players approve or piss and moan?
>>46467135
I have a few that I have outlined but the big ones are
1 - If using a shield/off-hand weapon and your character takes max damage from a melee attack you can break the shield (rendering it useless) for half damage
2 - Max health at 1st level
3 - No alignment, just don't be a dick
I'm thinking about adding some skills to LotFP that aren't there.
1. Medicine: roll under and heal that many pips of HP. if you roll over, 1d4 damage to patient.
2. Speech (CHA mod adds pips): persuade/intimidate/bribe/haggle.
3. Arcana (WIS modifier adds pips): know when items are magic.
4. Appraise: know items sp value.
i know that Speech kinda goes against the books idea of RPing the character successfully enough to do those things, but for my players, i think it's a good choice.
Posting an updated version of the Castles & Crusades attribute generation method I was working on in last thread. The scores were coming out too high, so I cut the number of dice you roll. I also changed it so that you add your racial adjustment to the final attribute scores rather than the raw numbers.
(i love these and didn't see one up, don't know if there are rules to posting one)

>>46460367
>>What are the most prominent social issues in your world right now?
Is it really ok for the god-kings to just sit on their thrones, dwidling their thumbs and let a democratically chosen council rule the country while they themselves random get up from their toilets, before they start becoming one with the object, and instead shit on the council table and call it a degree. In a more serious tone: Is it truly fine that there are nigh omnipotent, yet oddly benign, tyrants that manipulate everything that is happening in the world.
>>What different positions do the public hold on those issues?
Some don't give a monkey's because they are content with the fact that they don't have to go into the wilderness to fight 50ft long snakes because the king's armies keep them safe, while the more philosophic and anarchistic parts are greatly against it, though their efforts are usually muted by the kings either publicly or in silenceso guess it pays that one of the kings is an assassin able to appear anywhere he wishes
>>Which side do you sympathise with the most and how do you prevent bias?
Well i sympathize with the less worried people because their lives are constantly interrupted by people trying to rouse rebellion only to become stains on the street when the king they are trying to overthrow comes and wipes them out of existence, but they still do have a point: the kings are tyrants by mandate of the gods and they don't care for the common folk for they are too busy making sure that history repeats itself.
>>How do those issues affect the daily life and/or politics of your world?
Assassinations, random rebellions and terrorist attacks that occur on a monthly basis for the common folk. For the political side there is the fact that if the king says B when the council decided A then there's nothing they can do. Also any opposition is dealt with harshly.
What are some truly original superpowers? Seems to me like most powers people qualify as "innovative" are just commonplace abilities restricted by really specific conditions.
