Thats really only a sin of the necromancer class. I�ve seen everything else reflavored without issue.

On the whole though ya I would recommend Strike if you want easy to run tactical combat to be the major draw. The other systems are functional but nothing special.

in my star wars game the necromancer player flavored their powers as being the result of weird, experimental nanotech stuff. in my second game the necromancer was a psychic. i almost ran a modern-day metal gear solid-esque superspies setting with the system and i again had a player interested in the necromancer who made not-psycho mantis. it's a versatile class once you get into it

I guess? Imo generic systems are a good thing because there are tons of cool, well written settings attached to mediocre to garbage systems.

You could skin it as a hacker who sticks nano mines to override robots, a voodoo dude with mind control poison darts, a wasp man who lays eggs that burst out of people's corpses, you can ignore the raising completely and have a psychic eating people's brains to grow stronger.

I agree that strike is in a weird middleground between "here's a game to play" and "here's a toolkit to play with" and it doesn't always hit the mark, but there aren't many games that are so open to that kind of tinkering. It's cool that all the systems and abilities are splayed out so you can easily tweak them both mechanically and fictionally.

Unbound is similar, in that it requires, instead of just encouraging, you to skin abilities appropriately, but it's going for a much looser storygame feel.

LuiCypher: Apr 24, 2010; Today I'm... amped up!

Splicer posted:

God no.

Assuming by "the game" you mean 5e:

1) remove charisma from the game
2) merge str and con while we're here
3) have the player describe their action
4) they roll stat, prof, or stat + prof (or no stat + expertise if better), based on how well they tie it into the existing scene. Paying the tiniest bit of attention gets stat or prof, whichever is better. Actually addressing relevant parts of the scene gets advantage. Having a background or skill relevant to the scene or NPC and integrating it into the description gets stat + prof or no stat + expertise.

Default stat for interactions is brawn because people trust healthy looking people

It's just an idea I had - it's only been through two other people before I put it before the thread, so I recognize that it's still very much a work in progress. I definitely appreciate the feedback, though.

Yes, "the game" is 5e, which I rarely play anyways, but I wanted to try to explore another way to handle social skills by creating a relatively level playing field for all classes.

The overall intent of the houserule is to:
-Give alignment at least some mechanical consequence aside from encouraging people to act like moronic dickbags/pompous asshats - I'm more than happy to dispose of it especially since it can make the math real janky. Without alignment I'd be searching for something else to give bonuses/penalties to the roll, so in that scenario how well/convincingly the player pulls off the interaction like you recommend should have that effect instead.

-Give classes mechanical weight. I want players/DMs to have a tool to encourage other players/classes to step up in social interactions. Give the ones you want to step up a reward (advantage) and those who step all over the rest of the party to dominate conversations a penalty (disadvantage). There's nothing saying you can't adjudicate this on the fly, but I wanted to tie it to something concrete like classes so the DM has something to point to that feels impartial.

-Nerf the overall effectiveness of charm spells and limit access to them. I like the idea of Charm-type spells getting you the result you want but at a cost. They'll obviate the need to carry out the interaction/make the roll, but they're never going to be as effective as taking the time to interact with the NPC. Also, any time I can take something from Wizards I feel like I'm giving an angel its wings.

-Destroy Charisma. I think there are a whole host of benefits to doing this, especially with regards to disrupting min-max math by removing everyone's favorite dump stat. But it also levels the playing field, so to speak, when it comes to social interactions.

-Destroy social skills. Similar to getting rid of Charisma, the intent is to level the playing field for all classes/players and removing a 'trap skill' for a new player from the game.

With regards to your method:
In terms of stats - what's the point of obliterating Charisma if you're just going to use other statistics (Str+Con) in its place? Although Strength is a dump stat for certain classes, Constitution is far from a dump stat for any class. High Con already carries a whole host of benefits with it. More than that though, using statistics still favors certain classes over others - you'll get into weird situations where the dwarf fighter is the best negotiator and some of your Wizards are surprisingly swole. Not to say that there's anything wrong with muscle wizards...

That being said, I do like the simplicity of adjusting the roll based on stats/skills and giving proficiency. I can't say too much bad about tying seemingly useless skills (professions) into social interactions/roleplaying, and overall I like the idea of giving rewards instead of penalties.

Moriatti posted:

I've got one of these kicking around in my head. How in-depth would you want it?
Also, Jimbozig, do you have any plans to release something like this or not because if not...

Just write it. I have no immediate plans for that. My most immediate Strike! plans are to get the big supplement out with the classes that have been in playtest for the year (If I had known that loving cancer would mean that I would get zero work on it done this year instead of the "not as much work" that I expected, then I would have been releasing the classes one by one as mini-expansions instead.) And after that I've got a lot of notes on an X-COM like setting which would have all-new and remixed classes and roles would be replaced by another thing entirely. So no, this thing you're thinking of is nothing like what I've got planned and you should write yours.

ImpactVector posted:

-The Kits system is optional but kind of all over the place, and should not be used unless you've tried the system without it and think people need another axis for character customization (hint: they probably don't).

I'm disappointed in Kits, too. I wish that I'd done "Perks" instead and had them be like non-combat Feats instead of like non-combat Classes. I think that would have been a better fit and still let me use the best of the ideas.

My other big regret is that I don't have good adventure writing skills (yet). I'm with Gradenko in saying that someone should write a great Strike! adventure! I'm so bad at putting down the right amount of rails because it's so opposite to how I run games, but a published adventure needs so much more structure than the improvised glorious messes that my best IRL games became. Also nice maps - and I can't draw nice maps, and a mini-expansion won't have the art budget to afford nice maps. I would need to make a proper mid-sized adventure to be able to afford that kind of art. If any of you goons have RPG mapping skills (for making combat grid maps, not overworld maps), let me know and I might pay you to make me maps when I do decide to do that in the future.

So yeah, the Necromancer is one of the harder classes to reskin, but the psychic reskin really does work well and is broadly applicable to other settings, and Serf's post has some more. With the right power choices, it's also perfect for making a vampire (or a space vampire like in Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun and Book of the Short Sun series, which are not quite as good as Book of the New Sun, but still really great and everyone into space fantasy should read them) or any other life-leeching person/monster.

I'm a bit confused by the lack of love for Chase - it's like my favourite thing in the whole game. Maybe I just have some weird blinders about it, but I find that as a very short and sweet prediction minigame, it's perfect for car chases and foot chases. It takes like 2 minutes and is more evocative than a simple roll.

Some people have a hard time being creative, especially off the cuff. My 4e GM is a literal rules encyclopedia and does a good job running games, but he has a rough time coming up with spontaneous things either as a GM or a player. Even without a scifi or fantasy setting, the Necromancer class can just represent someone who beats the snot out of someone so resoundingly and impressively when they offer them their hand to get back up, they immediately side with them. Think of it as MGSV without the fulton.

That Paladin is a joyless shitpail who is out to spoil everyone's fun by "but it's my characterrrrr"-ing their way through every interaction, be it social, combat, or even just setting up camp. I'm pretty sure you can't do it too badly by accident, but just in case here's a few tips from someone who used to read a lot of Liesmith's posts on the subject, and who's played as/with a few top-notch paladins.

Generally speaking in a historical context, a paladin knows that deep down they are fundamentally a bad person, not a good one. Most of the stories about knights that weren't "this is my super cool OC Galahad" tended to be about how they were actually kind of lovely, but strove to better themselves by keeping that on lock and forcing themselves to do good. They were trying to best their base nature, and become a better person. They had to work at being a paragon of virtue and every day was a struggle.

So there's the opportunity for the narrative of someone who's struggling with doing the right thing and does it through faith in themselves, others, and their deity. A lot of the time in D&D, your choice of deity basically boils down to "what matches my alignment" or "does it have any cool feats" and then you sorta forget about it until the DM mentions a temple of Avandra and looks at you expectantly for about 30 seconds before you suddenly remember.

That Paladin is going to use their whole "sword and shield of the divine" thing to bash people over the head and be all "but my goddddddd says" every time someone suggests so much as picking a lock. Because heavy-handed evangelism is all some people associate with religion of any sort, rather than stuff like charity, compassion, etc.

Instead, think about what your deity does (their domains, general attitude) and think logically about how to be nice about it. Of course you'll always offer aid when called upon, because you're representing your deity. You're answering a prayer on their behalf, it's the whole "I sent two boats and a helicopter" thing. You are that boat, or maybe the helicopter if you can get a flying mount. But you're also going to end up doing stuff that might seem inconsequential "in the grand scheme of things" but the moment you start thinking that something is beneath you, you've already stopped being a paladin.

As a paladin you have been given a glorious purpose by your deity and you have to find it. Not blessed with it, but given. It's a burden to bear, and one that will test your moral and physical strength. You may falter, you may even fail, but you will never accept that failure. You won't face down a dragon with no armour because you know that your deity is saving you a seat at the table. That's arrogance. But you do know that when you die, and you get asked "did you do everything you could?" you're going to have to tell the truth.

This is a really good post that makes me both want to play a paladin in a game again, and also try and hunt for some of the old Liesmith effort posts about Arthurian knights.

LogicNinja: Jan 21, 2011; ...the blur blurs blurringly across the blurred blur in a blur of blurring blurriness that blurred...

My favorite knight/paladin/etc related character concept actually comes from what 4E (and then 5E, IIRC) did by making it so that once divine characters were invested with powers, the god couldn't just take them away. That means that gods/preisthoods actually have to be super careful about whom they allow to undergo the investiture ritual. The screening has to be super rigorous, and nobody's ever sure that their god will go for them.

Because if you're a good, conscientious deity, you can't just pick someone who's a decent person now. You have to be sure that someone you're giving divine power to swing around, someone who's gonna carry your holy symbol and do your work in the world, isn't just a good person who represents your ideals now, but will continue to be a good person five years down the road, or ten, or twenty. That they won't buy into some heretical teaching and turn your church against itself; that they won't fall into evil and use their powers for ill; that they'll be a good person no matter what happens to them--even if their family dies prematurely, or their lover leaves them for their enemy, or someone tortures them, or if they see the horrors of war for years on end, or if they get things handed to them on a silver platter for years and lose touch with the common man, or anything else. So think about a person who wanted to be a paladin, got top marks in their class, was entirely dedicated--and then during the investiture ritual, nothing happened. The god turned them down.

So you're left with a character who knows that their deity decided that they were fundamentally flawed in some way, but doesn't know how--that maybe not right now, but in five years, or in ten, or if they gain power, or if they're put in the wrong situation, they will do something that makes giving them divine powers Not Worht It. And they have to live and constantly watch themselves for signs of this imagined flaw and wonder if any given thing they're doing that they know isn't 100% cool is The Reason They Didn't Get Chosen.

There's an interesting Lawful Good knight right there.

Ratoslov: Feb 15, 2012; Now prepare yourselves! You're the guests of honor at the Greatest Kung Fu Cannibal BBQ Ever!

So yes, Ray, I'm ordering you in the name of the Light to have a nice time at this party and try to chill the gently caress out. Wine pong?

I encountered the same problem with the previous game I wrote, where it was somewhere between "too much of a toolkit for people to get any creative inspiration from" and "tonally clashing anytime more than 1 human was in a room, putting fluff to a character."

That's one of the reasons that for The Next Project, I went with more easily-identifiable D&D-ish classes (aside from, just personally actually liking that style of fantasy.)

hyphz posted:

That looks good, but I�m not sure how any 4e like system can work without a grid. Movement is, like, a core part of tactical combat.

There's been a handful of "4e, but..." games, over the years. It always boils down to taste, and what the author decided to leave in or keep out. Like, my experience with D&D is 97% of the time using a grid, but I noticed the party largely ended up just crowding into the biggest open space on the map (with the enemies.) So between that, and 5e doing such a poor job of being gridless, I decided I wanted to actually build something from the ground-up that didn't require it. It's also something that reduces DM overhead, if you can get it right.

It actually takes a bit of design work (anyone who was in my first playtest can attest to the early flaws I hit) but you can have movement and tactical considerations within a more relative/abstract positional structure. Honestly, I've found a lot of it has more to do with action economy, i.e. shifting away from the melee as a minor action or as part of an attack is a lot more valuable than the universal "5ft step" that anyone can do, but at the cost of their whole movement.

This isn't the 'post lovely fiction' thread so I won't bore you with backstory, but it's a Dark Sun/Dying Earth type of setting except not as messed up and has more tech.

The crux of the system is essentially shadowrun.

(3 + modifier)d6, count up 5's and 6's and compare the number of successes with a check (the base check being 2)

Unlike Shadowrun, I added in 4e Powers. The system is classless, so as long as you meet the level requirement, you can learn the power on your next level up.

You're limited to 5 powers per encounter, and if you run out you'll be back to basic attacks. All damage is flat plus a modifier. This is done to speed up the game a bit when you aren't having to roll for damage. Technically your hit roll decides damage, as 1 success is a 50% damage glancing blow and 2x the required successes is a crit :v:

Powers can be divided into two groups - Base and Interrupts. Yes interrupts like MTG. You can play interrupts on anyone's turn, even in response to your action. They still require modifier rolls.

Examples of interrupts:

quote:

Ranged Block
Interrupt - Requires shield
Ranged attack takes a -1d6 penalty to hit the user

quote:

Guard
Interrupt
Blocks melee damage from a skill targeting an adjacent ally

quote:
