Yeah, I was surprised the Pinkertons even existed any more, given my knowledge of them beforehand was just "something Civil War" and "gunning down striking workers or maybe just people forming unions".

I was going to say that nobody is forcing or even advocating for Gnome to eat bugs because the majority population of the entire planet still aren't equal to "a hundred CEOs" for doing damage, and the solutions barely involve anyone here changing anything - all of the news articles about h...

I actually would walk back some of my initial complaint, in regards to D&D stuff (what with "I deal fire damage" -> "this fire elemental is immune to fire" being the same as "I deal damage in close combat" -> "this thing can fly" basically, and both obviou...

I'm a bit lost in general. Is this still argument about whether or not it's ok to have ignore X resistance/immunity or have we moved on to arguing the more nebulous idea that an attack that ignores x resistance might or might not be the best attack one can pull out in all/most situations? For a bri...

The cult of the machine begins...

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.

Angel Ascendant "More and more demons enter this world, yet I have arisen as a new angel to combat them." (This definitely brings it up to High balance, but I don't know if the new spells and powers push it into Very High - the Healer is just that bad to begin with.) HD: d8 BAB: Poor Savi...

So it turns out quite a few people (more than zero, I'll take it ) use my Feat Per Level system. I decided I should probably add a general statement of greenlighting things: loads of regular (3.0, 3.5 and Pathfinder) feats totally can be taken. Some of these work well, others are underpowered but wh...

Azata Ascendant "With a song in my heart and a sword in my hand, I will undo all that is wrong in this world!" (I would assume this class is Very High balance.) HD: d8 BAB: Medium Saving Throws: Good Ref and Will Skill Points: 6 + Int Class Skills: Acrobatics, Appraise, Bluff, Climb, Craf...

Aeon Ascendant "Above all else, I now exist to bring things into the balance, return the multiverse to its natural state. Speaking of which, your natural state is dead. Let me remedy the situation." (This might be High balance, it might be Very High. I'm leaning towards the latter.) HD: d...

So, let me explain what this is: I take a Mythic Progression from the WotR PC game, with its various mechanics. I take the base class it most obviously matches (particularly in regards to spellbooks, similar/identical class features etc) with. And then I fuse them together. I won't do this with the ...

28/02, PRINCESS ROAD NIGHT 5 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Night 5 of the Princess Road tournament, where we begin round 1 of the Junior division matches. We'll start with Sailor Chibi-Moon against newcomer Tail Red, then it's another new arrival, Vivid Green, versus Ueda Rika of Kampfer White. ...

Also, in case anyone was worried about the poor owners of the bank who through no fault of their own now lost a bank after making a series of incredibly bad decisions, then you'll be relieved to know they managed to award themselves a bunch of bonuses just before it collapsed, as their final "m...

Ankou Pathfinder, here . CR 14, level 14. No thumbs. Can't speak, but understands languages and has telepathy. First World Assassin The Ankou is a weird assassin of fey that uses some light and shadow magic, and can use Sneak Attack, and is meant to terrify people before optionally killing them. Th...

Witchcrow Pathfinder, here . CR 3, level 5. No thumbs. Hopestealer The Witchcrow is an evil crow. It's an asshole, like most birds, and it can already speak, which is handy. It can fly, and has a few Witch abilities, so basically, advancement means it gets to keep on being "basically a Witch&q...

(Beedrill gets heaps of named special attacks in the card game, and I am absolutely drawing on these.)

because current system wise a one shot elite sniper hitting on 2+ wounding on 2+ and penetrating saves still only wounds 69% of the time

Nice

Okay, so I'm just going to talk about things that annoy me, starting with the constant one-upping of "I ignore that" "Oh it's unignorable" "No but I ignore unignorable". This is obviously dumb in D&D. We have Immunities handed out (to monsters, and then to players v...
