"Even when successful, allowing oneself to be a direct conduit for the Abyss comes with dire risk. After using this power, roll a number of dice equal to the Mystic’s Road rating, difficulty 4. Each success allows the Mystic to retain two dots of her Road rating for Mystics on the Road of the Abyss, one dot for Mystics not on the Road of the Abyss. If the Mystic’s Road is reduced to 0 in this fashion, the Abyss utterly annihilates her existence." fucking abyss mystics...

what's up

So I've been writing a Chronicle largely based around Philadelphia and I noticed that there's a lot of Hunter: The Vigil books based in that area,

so far I've found content in:

>HtV: The Main Book
>HtV: Spirit Slayers
>HtV: The Hunter Recognition Guide

I noticed on the White Wolf Wikia there's talks of some vampire sects and a Vampire named The Curator. I would appreciate anyone who knows some more books that have some good blurbs about the city.

The bible asserts answers without logic evidence. Scientists and philosophers use logic and evidence to assert their answers.

An ethical hedonist might have to assert on faith that it is good to maximize happiness, but at least the rest of their arguments flow logically from their and the present several scenarios to examine why it is good to maximize happiness.

A priest says you're not allowed to fuck up the butt because the bible says so.

The two are clearly not of the same kind.

Again, axioms are a prerequisite for ANY reasoning. Not being able to give an all-encompassing non-self-referential logical construction without any priors does not entail that the meaning is bullshit.

Epistemological skepticism is utterly fucking useless, science is rooted in the Empirical school of epistemological thought, and you are an obnoxious retard for trying to shoehorn the former into a discussion of the latter.

7D. Thing fucks hard. You just point it towards the meanest thing on the board, march towards it while firing, and it dies. TC means you don't have to pay for gunnery 3, and the weapons mean you can effectively engage at almost any range. Only weakness it has is no case, and even then there is a decent chance you'll survive it.

That was Tucker Harwell in one of the old DA books back in the 3130's. It was as far as he understood it, until Bonfire where his sister kidnapped him and he realized everybody was building stuff back in bulk.

This reminds me, another situation when he should have just given her the dick. How many plot points could we have fixed with that?

>something nature wouldn’t artistically create
OK, let me get it straight. Are you arguing that nature doesn't produce flashy things because they are too artsy? The nature? The same nature that literally sent multiple species, like peacocks, into an evolutionary arms races of flashy visual appeal? Dude, that's just too dumb.

>It doesn’t, outside of survival or adaption, because again, nature/evolution wouldn’t naturally produce pic related. It just fucking wouldn’t.
Both convergent evolution and mimicry are known things.

Frankly, you keep on saying "it doesn't, it can't, it won't" but you never explain why. Like your example of eye beam eel. Why is it impossible for nature to do so? Especially with different set of physics (AKA magic) changing what's achievable for an organism?

Nature doesn't give a flying fuck about what humans consider artistic. It cares about what works.

Also, your statue formation idea is irrelevant to most magic systems. OK? Spells are artificial. They are tools. Claiming that a magic system is too neat and artsy to be natural is like claiming that a computer system is to be natural. It debunks a statement that's already so obviously false people are wondering if you even understood the question in a first place.

Also, there are plenty of systems where magic isn't alive at fundamental level. Or at least isn't alive in same sense as a bunch of silica rocks aren't alive just because we made a computer out of them.

>>92575810
But the real question is (from an in universe perspective), why would they? Seems like it's just some bullshit game devs and lore writers come up with to justify the gameplay limitations they need to put on players to keep the game balanced.

>>92635225
NTA, but Mystra's case was basically her declaring that making repeatable magic formulas on a scale of mass reality warping and letting mortals have them was just too dangerous for the world at large. She just didn't want some idiot deciding to raze the world to the ground being able to do this with a formula spell.

>>92635169
>Are you arguing that nature doesn't produce flashy things because they are too artsy?
I’m saying the way the magic works and is constructed, or just came about, implies a sort of intellect behind it. I don’t care if it’s the gods, some alien AI, or the author itself. It’s just the way it is. All magic in real life myth and folklore is like this too. It’s all like a game.
>The same nature that literally sent multiple species, like peacocks, into an evolutionary arms races of flashy visual appeal?
There’s an evolutionary, selective advantage to that. Like literally anything else in nature. Outside of survival or adaption? There’d be no justification.

>Both convergent evolution and mimicry are known things
Because of convergent adaption, yes, like in Australia. The shape of the crab is *efficient*.

>Frankly, you keep on saying "it doesn't, it can't, it won't" but you never explain why
>Like your example of eye beam eel. Why is it impossible for nature to do so?
Lol.
>Nature doesn't give a flying fuck about what humans consider artistic. It cares about what works.
You say that, and yet you think physics would just naturally, childishly, produce x-men superpowers for you? It doesn’t give a fuck about a childish monkey’s imagination.

The problem with all these well considered things you said that I only sorta read is that there's a lot of people who very genuinely approach the topic like this >>92635100 and that's just the end of it with them, they cannot be dissuaded or worked with

>>92634658
I think people only consider it power gaming when it's annoying. Someone who just likes to be good at the game but still acts social is fine. But someone who acts anti-social is just annoying.

>>92634658
Like most things it depends on the group. One powergamer can easily unbalance a group making everyone but him worthless as he either blows through encounters or the entire party gets slaughtered as the GM tries to give him a challenge. However a party of powergamers can be very fun as the GM has to think of ways to challenge them without being too bullshit “lmao you didn’t find this trap because I didn’t describe the room well enough so you die.” Some of my most fun games were PCs being bullshit murder machines who were fighting shit well above their sipposed capability, for example an Dark Heresy party who managed to take down an entire squad of Chaos Space Marines. A hell of a fight that they barely survived but it required clever tactics and them pulling out all the bullshit to win.

>>92635238
This.
I'm currently dealing with a powergamer and even tho he's OP who roleplays and help other players, he starts nagging everytime something doesn't go the way his combo dictates to work or when put in a spot that exploits his tertiary abilities.

>>92634856
Battlesmith Artificer + Sharpshooter was the most powerful build when it came out.
You really don't need to minmax it that hard, just do the stuff that seems fun instead.

>>92635090
My old character was a wis sling based ranger but there were two other players that picked up sharpshooter and GWM and was outdamaging me by a lot
My initial idea was to use crusher with light hammer to move enemies into aoe effects but artificers dont have that many and the most important one I wanted, cloud of daggers, isn't even on the list

>>92635141
That'll happen. Especially with something like a sling you absolutely should have picked up sharpshooter, it has very low base damage so it benefits greatly from it, plus it extends the range by a lot.
In the case of Artificer, what made it the most broken build at the time (I'm not sure now) was
>has extra action economy and board presence and utility through their pet (they seem limited at first but the amount of shit they can do is revealed when you play a game with it)
>if they build sharpshooter then, either with CBE or their pet's bonus attacks, they have some of the highest DPR in the game on par with martials, though their burst is far more limited than a fighter's
>they get to have more AC than martials while doing this
>SAD, just pump INT to max, very easy to do and still get feats if rolled stats are in play, not a problem if you have standard array though
>then they also get spells, including healing spells and a healing ability that doesn't even require an action to get allies up from downed, or spells that do all sorts of other neat things off of half-casting
>including Shield, as if their high AC wasn't enough
>furthermore, Flash of Genius is better than Paladin's Aura of Protection by quite a margin, just don't be retarded with it
and more little things than I can ever list in one post or remember for one post (I'm assuming magic items go towards the DPR but they can do other useful things, too)

Alright, I choose
>Sylvari Fighter; Master-at-Arms
>Merfolk Warlock; Taoist Patron

Pretty heavy on melee, but guaranteed to be entertaining in combat.

We are at level 9 now but the campaign might be wrapping up so I doubt I will be able to get to 11 but if I do it will be even better
>+10 level 1 or level 2 spellcasts per day
>you can load up any powerful spell depending on what you are planning to do that day
>invisibility can be passed around with each person holding their own concentration on it
>vortex warp can be given to your pet and it can ready its action (it is reading the use object interaction so if the trigger doesnt happen, the spell isnt lost like a normal spell would) to teleport you if an enemy drops a fireball or similar spell making you ignore all of the damage
>web, heat metal, faerie fire etc can be used by the pet allowing you two different concentration spells in a combat
>steel defender can cast warding bond through the spellcasting item giving you +1 to ac and saving throws and resistance to all damage giving you doubled health pool for 1 hour and you could even cast heroism at second level on yourself and the steel defender to remove 10 damage every round
I think sharpshooter is my play then, it does use up one of my infusions for repeating shot so I can still use a shield but maybe my DM can allow me a repeating light xbow to free up that infusion for spell refueling ring for emergency revivify, lets hope

Having only read about half the manga, I'm going to say arrogance. He wants to be the important person in the room.

>>92635085
NTA. I do actually agree that too much modern western media does suffer from the issue of the over-sanitation of the violence. It gives people this weird notion of the violence being something clean and gleaming. At least this scene, especially if you want a full scene instead of a death montage, shows a proper ambush. Filled with chaos, people freezing in panic or confusion where things don't go as planned and of course blood and injuries. Serious violence deserves being treated seriously and that means showing its consequences.
>>92635088
Yes, I do agree with that observation. To describe faults of main groups we see:
>Kabru's
Inexperienced, lacking team cohesion and lacking knowledge about dungeon.
>Toshiro/Shuro's
Too stiff due to being literally a feudal retinue protecting their lord's son. Almost everyone of them was too focused on Toshiro to act efficiently in chaos of a dungeon battle.
>Canaries
The best guys outside Laios's party, mostly due to being dungeon delving pros. Still, they do suffer a lot from having 2/3rds of their force composed of essentially penal battalion prisoners.
>Elf and human whose names I forget
I mean, their party is too small and they are too much of noobs to even judge them properly

>>92635206

>>92635286
Didn't even notice the thighs.
And the titties is a tension break, plus calling out that something in her is still human. Pay less attention to the bounce and more to her face, she's excited to see Laois.
You're the midwit making all or nothing generalizations.

>>92630221
>they can pass through the bars on doors
wait, you don't put tiny PCs in birdcages instead of man-sized prison cells specifically so they don't slip out between the bars?
also, interesting you bring up flyers in strategy games, since a lot of the time flying rules there are a colossal headache or are otherwise rage-inducing, like 40k fliers turning any ground unit that isn't entirely dedicated to hunting them down into a BS 6 shitter (for comparison, dumb shitter guardsman who can't even tie their own shoes are BS 4, and orks who literally only hit because they shoot a billion times still get BS 5)

>>92634247
Dunno about races, but in the 40KRPGs, flying reduces your actions by half, fuel is typically limited and everyone has ranged weapons by default, making it much less overpowered while still being immensely useful in many situations.

>>92635212
>(for comparison, dumb shitter guardsman who can't even tie their own shoes are BS 4, and orks who literally only hit because they shoot a billion times still get BS 5)
Did they reverse what BS numbers mean for some reason?

>>92630221
Flying races (in the context of D&D and similar) are a pain in the ass. Either their ability does nothing (you're indoors, it's too windy, etc) or it does everything. The satisfying middle ground is much smaller than the other two categories. So, you either have to run a very narrow set of scenarios, deal with the flying character not being challenged a significant chunk of the time, or deal with the player bitching because they never get to use their flight.

This is because (low-level) D&D is not based around players being able to fly. Many lower-level monsters don't have access to ranged weapons or flight. It's less an issue in games that are built around the assumption that flight is always on the table. There are games that give shit like incorporeality as a starting option that are fine, because they work with it.

>>92635266
BS in 40k is the minimum number you need to roll (on a d6) to hit. A lower BS is thus better; a 2+ is better than a 4+.

>>92633728
