Alien Rope Burn posted:[*]Piloting: Science is divided up, and weapons require all sorts of profiencies, but if you know how to pilot one thing, you know them all. You can use this to shoot in lieu of a combat bonus (haha, gently caress you, combat classes... in space!), navigate around, or roll to make maneuvers or stunts. The more advanced a vehicle it is, the harder it is to pilot!... which also means the more expensive a vehicle it is, the worse it handles. Starfinger logic! (Well, at least the DC is just increased by the Item level, meaning you can actually get better at it.) Actually, if I'm reading this right, the italicized bit sounds like a surprisingly clever (by Pathfinder standards) bit of genre emulation. In most science fantasy settings I'm familiar with (most popular being of course Star Wars), most of the Rebel pilots we see are also decent shots. Plus it gives the combat classes a skill that makes them useful in ship combat, where you'd expect any melee fighter to be about as useful as a chocolate hammer.

Cythereal posted:Aragorn was the basis of the ranger class and archetype. How do you figure? He doesn't do any fancy archery, he doesn't have an animal companion, his one use of a magic item feels more like a 3.x Rogue 'Use Magic Item' roll that went really well for him, he doesn't use any spells, and he doesn't fight with two weapons. He's a Fighter that everyone agrees to call a Ranger. Sure, he does some tracking in The Two Towers, but frankly Legolas handles most of that for him with his 'elf eyes'.

Mors Rattus posted:It is kind of hilarious to imagine a Skaven pup being adopted by a bunch of Imperials and raised as if he was just a very unfortunate mutant, on the basis that clearly there's no such thing as Skaven. One character idea I pitched for a friend's game a while back was basically this, except he was adopted by a member of the Ratcatcher's Guild. So he was a rat Ratcatcher. That game was one of the ones that fell apart before it started, but drat if I don't wish I'd gotten to play him sometimes.

PurpleXVI posted:This honestly seems like a much stronger pitch and a better way to give people a feel for the setting. Given that it's old White Wolf, that's probably why they didn't lead with it. Can't have your settings being too comprehensible, then all the D&D normies might play the game!

LatwPIAT posted:There's just no way to become completely immune to all consequences no matter what kind of body your transfer to. Besides Rule Zero. But it sounds more and more like they're saying that the tone implied by the rules isn't one they would enjoy, rather than this being an objective flaw in the system.

juggalo baby coffin posted:the chuck tingle game shoulda been an apocalypse world hack or something When you are pounded in the butt, state what's pounding you, and roll+Lube. On a 10+, both you and the pounder have a great time. On a 7-9, you both get off, but pick 1: - You're not sure how you feel about it afterwards - You notice something bizarre about whatever was pounding you - Your partner walks in at precisely the wrong time. On a 6-, you didn't use enough lube. Take 1 b-harm, and choose 1 from the 7-9 results.
