Whatever 5e did that fixed it.
There we go.

While it all boils down to balance increasing damage will generally make lower tier enemies inconsequentially easy, while reducing HP will tend to make that a little bit more manageable.

So in that manner it all comes down to what kind of experience you want to provide: do you want strong characters to mow down weak enemies more constantly or do you want them to have to get a feel and prepare for every and any encounter?

Remove HP altogether, use wounds or other shit like that. Emphasise ability to avoid getting hit over ability to take hits

However the author says it does.

However you want it to

what do you mean by angry???

And tell us more.

>>48125486

Angry because your sadly overlooked strategy game where you command a vast and varied army in a tabletop skirmish, with an unimaginable number of strategies and synergies of its own... got killed and replaced with something less. With that in mind I think we have something in common, and could be friends.

They do a lot of climbing and hunting and shit in those forests they live in, so I assume they're lean but rather fit on average.

>>48125121
Elves are also very tall. They appear skinny accordingly when muscle mass is the same.

Also strength and muscle mass doesn't always correlate.

>>48125121
Wild elves (elf subrace that is basically wood elves +) are as strong on average as half orcs (and about as smart too), while still being physically similar to other elves (ie. similar build and stature). So yes, elfs are stronk.

>>48124123
No that's evil, you're manipulating billions of peoples emotions at the price of a someone elses suffering.

Unless that person derived pleasure from that pain. In which case, with their consent, whip that ass nigga.

That's probably someone's fetish.

FTFY, and no, it sounds good. Let's hear what you came up with

>Sounds a caste system for demons stupid?

>>48123413
You mean demons are assigned social roles according to the sound they make? All demons or just stupid ones? That could work.

IMHO the broad concept of fallen angels is awesome, but only when the setting doesn't include the Abrahamic God, because it's literally heresy to imply He doesn't already have them under control. So anything you do to make your demons a bit different but still recognizable is a plus for me.

What the fuck.

In all seriousness, it's OK to theme a character after another, but don't be original character do not steal about it.

I'm a chess noob, what's Dortmund? Also Nd5-c7

>what's Dortmund?
A chess tournament with strong chess players (Caruana, Kramnik, MVL, Ponomariov and others), same for Bilbao (Carlsen, Karjakin, Giri, Nakamura, So, Wei Yi).

>Nd5-c7
There's something better.

>>48122972
This is correct.

A knife and like 10 other dudes with knives.

A pillow.

Various inedible plant extracts.

If we are talking about -ancient- northern europe it would probanly either be an axe to the head, or a long knife to the guts, followed by shouting "the chietain is dead! Long live the chieftain!".

But in general assasination techniques didn't change much over the years. A good placed crossbow/bow shot. Knife or multiple knofes in the guts. Poison. Strangulation.

Also you have to drop the thought that "assasains" wear all black, or that thy are som sort fo brotherhood or something.

>Historical hitmen were either people close to the target (like in ceasars or rasputins case) or simply random mercs and lowlifes to do the job.

Not sure you can say that all of them are like that. I'm pretty sure that even then there where professional hitmen of various places in various times.

Example: the ninja. Another is the actual Hashashin.

Play a kitsune vigilante (night terror) with Innocuous Servant, Companion to the Lonely, a Traveler's Any-Tool, and Rough and Ready who pretends to be a loving maid and fights with mops and brooms instead.

Extremely outdated.

A bit more on what I have in mind. Post hellsing ultimate, remnants of millennium sticking around being assholes, mad scientists like Herr doktor are popping up trying to cash in on the immortality market. The players would be part of a anti vampire task force whose job it will be to keep vampire spread to a minimum.

wild talents

Roleplay websites are inherently weird, most are set up by weebs and bronies to yell BAKKA at eachother till the sun explodes.

Most of the stories on here are from Table TopRole Playing Games, pen and paper games mostly. They're a bit more interactive so try looking into some different systems? Gonna get flammed for it but check out critcal role, a D&D web series with some pretty good rp.

As for the last part yeh, it is pretty good fun. Try find some friends that play RPG's, try get some into it or just jump into it online/in a flgs.

>>48120993
Where would I go about finding some of these pen and paper games? Are they like online or do I need to buy actual board games? Is pen and paper all I need to play them? Sorry for the interrogation but I am pretty new to this stuff hehe.

>>48120875
If you're going to try and get into an online roleplaying COMMUNITY, I'd recommend against it.

Spoony was completely correct when he said that those are pretty much run by an inner circle of friends, and if you're not in that inner-circle, you'll get fucked over hard.

Years ago, I had a similar experience where some fuck head kicked me out of a Star Wars RP community on steam because I called one of his friends an idiot after a huge, annoying, argument where we introduced our faction...
