How would one go about to create the strongest weapon in D&D 5e with highest damage.
You're only restricted to it being melee and within the boundaries of the rules.
share your ideas please.
>>46352243
also make sure to add what rules/material/whatever you're using to craft your masterpiece, if you can.
If you're not sure about all the details, then just name whatever you can remember

Fellow fa/tg/uys, I was planning to start a Pathfinder campaign sooner rather than later, my second one DMing that system actually. So this time, I'd like to try and tweak the system so to make it more fun. Some problems I've encountered are:
>Maneuvers. You need to expend shitloads of feats for only a handful of them not to cause an attack of opportunity, that would most likely make the maneuver useless. This was frustrating, as it took flexibility from melee characters.
>Feats in general. Some feats were...

>Everyone in my group took Dodge, for example. I don't like at all these universally useful feats, as I feel each playstyle should imply having a different set of feats, and not just picking "the best ones".

I run with a bunch of houserules. Take a look if you want.

Just ignore the firearms stuff at the bottom....I am aware it is retarded but my group enjoy it and we are already using it now....
>>46349744
>Opportunity attacks:
Unless the potential attacker is in a defensive stance, have them roll for reflex to be able to make an attack of opportunity.
If it wasn't the case already (my pathfinder is a little bit rusty), limit how many they can take (taking two attack of opportunity should leave you completely exposed and not being able to do anything well during one's own turn, unless you have some crazy feats).
Either that or make the opportunity attack roll harder...

Do Eldar ever turn to the other chaos gods in a bid to save themselves from slaneesh?

Yes

Yes, that's basically how the eldar daemonic princes on crone worlds came into being.

Not so much doubting you as having never seen it before and wanting to.

What adventures are possible?
A journey...to the game store. For more players.
Or ERP.

World Conquest. Any decent Villain can take over the world single handedly... you know, by making his NPC minions do it. Don't have need for any weak partners/competition/backstabber.

>How does the Lucky feat interact with advantage and disadvantage? The Lucky feat lets you spend a luck point; roll an extra d20 for an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw; and then choose which d20 to use. This is true no matter how many d20s are in the mix.
>For example, if you have disadvantage on your attack roll, you could spend a luck point, roll a third d20, and then decide which of the three dice to use. You still have disadvantage, since the feat doesn’t say it gets rid of it, but you do get to pick...

Oh no.
That creates hot new meta.
Forcibly creating bad conditions for yourself actually help you with the Lucky feat.
>>46348662
Not only that:
>You can choose to spend one o f your luck points after you roll the die, but before the outcome is determined.
So imagine this situation:
>DM: okay anon, you and the BBEG are on the edge of the cliff with the pool of lava underneath, you have your swords locked and you're trying to push each other off into the lava

This is one of the problems with narrative mechanics. Many of the stories they try to encourage only work because of the "mechanics" of the world. The point is that they're ~exceptional~. Giving them mechanical encouragement not only creates an odd dissonance where the way the game works is directly at odds with the world it's meant to represent,
For example, think of the trope where a heroic underdog defeats an overwhelmingly...

Has it ever come up in any campaigns you've been in? Was it done well? What advice would you give DM's attempting this in their campaigns?
>>46348218
I have always been interested in RPG systems made specifically for playing characters with moral values completely different than the average person. The only ones I know of would be from White Wolf's systems.
>>46348218
>Blue and Orange Morality
blue and orange what?
>>46348356
It's a dumb TVTropes term, but it basically means "this dude's got some weird values when it comes to ethics and morality".
Why is it so best?
Non-caster peasants need not respond.
It's good for over the top stuff and everyone going in is powergaming, including the DM. Only reason to still play it. Other than that it's pretty shit for vanilla flavor D&D.
It's good for non-casters too, if you're using Tome of Battle (ie if the DM isn't a retard).
>>46346396
Just about everyone still playing 3.5 these days allows it at least. Now psionics, on the other hand, still triggers DMs for some reason.

How the fuck can anyone afford playing 40k? Is there any cheaper way to start building an army?
use army men
>>46346275
Play Dawn of War. It's not perfect but modders do amazing things to the game.
>>46346275
Buy used ones. Get cheap chinese models.
Find someone who uses Vassal.
I just read about warhammer on imageboards and play related vidya.

Hey /tg/ I come in search of advice. I'm thinking about running a supers campaign with my regular gaming group, but I'm not sure which system to use since all the reviews I've seen are fairly conflicting.
I'm probably going to have the power levels start out somewhere around movie Batman and end up somewhere around movie Avengers, though neither of those are set in stone, and I'd prefer something relatively crunchy.
Beyond that, the only thing set in stone is that it'll be a primarily nonlethal game (though it's easy enough to...

The Bro: Hero; typical dudebro, though he's always there to help people out when they need it. Has some fairly generic super-enhancements (mildly increased strength, endurance, etc) that he can loan out to other people, plus has something along the lines of a D&D Paladin's Lay on Hands ability (touch someone and they feel better / their wounds aren't as bad now) that doesn't work on himself. Also has the ability to swap his location with that of one willing person instantaneously, though he typically holds this in reserve until it's needed to save...

Name not yet determined: Non-combat character; looks basically like a succubus decided to dress up as a stern librarian. Works as a defense attorney with her encyclopedic knowledge of the law, and is famous for getting people off on technicalities. There are a lot of people who are completely convinced she's doing something illegal, they just don't know what and can't find any evidence.
Bat-man: Hero; basically just a dude with a bat and fairly minor enhancements to strength/endurance/etc. Dresses like an old timey baseball player.
Souperman: Hero;...

Names not yet determined: Villains; they have various remote-controlled robotic vehicles that they send in to banks or jewelry stores and the like and basically threaten to open fire unless someone puts valuables into an obvious compartment on one of the vehicles. They tend to use vehicles along the lines of APCs (but with more firepower, also they're amphibious) and aircraft along the lines of fighter jets but with the ability to hover. They have various hidden bases, but tend to show up in a submersible aircraft carrier from which they launch their remotely-controlled...
