i'm getting a group together to make WHFRPG3e characters tomorrow night and I'm so loving excited seriously the character action cards alone are fantastic, and the fact that star wars did away with them is a god drat travesty. the star wars game is so drat boring in actual play

The Warhammer version had a variety of neat things you could spend the secondary resource good/bad stuff on based on a) the abilitiy cards you were using b) whether or not you were a spellcaster and what kind and c) the specific environment you were in (there were dozens of these, easily), which could be anywhere from an abandoned shrine to a blasted chaos hellscape with magical fissures bursting forth from the ground. In Star Wars I usually just ended up using them to give myself another bonus dice on my next roll most of the time

The Star Wars system just doesn't give you enough to do imo. There's only so much you can do with the narrative with a small number of successes so it's often more useful to give yourself extra dice in the future in the hopes of rolling good in a future die pool. Yes you need to narrate that bit it gets very samey kind of quick.

Arivia posted:It’s Pathfinder so expect at least two books a month, a big rulebook every few months, and as many support materials as your budget can take. Well it's usually something like, one campaign supplement, one adventure, a map, and either a new big rulebook or a mini version of an existing one, plus maybe some pawns or cards, plus Bones/Wizkids minis... yeah

If you wanna do the Cyber without the Punk you're gonna have to put some work into explaining a counter culture aesthetic where things are kinda just going alright. You don't have to add, say, the body horror elements (as a for instance) that show up in some works in order to do the -punk elements, though, so it can kind of depend on which parts of the themes you don't like.

Honestly I think the biggest problem with combat in the FFG SW games is just encounter design itself. There basically isn't any.

It's very Fantasy Flight what with all the proprietary dice and symbol tallying resolution mechanic but if you're not down on that it's a perfectly serviceable generic system. It will 100% depend on how good the inevitable Android supplement they come out with is imo

So I'm looking for some stuff to add to a 4e campaign I'm going to be starting up soon. Are there any good examples (or hell, even lovely, fixable examples) of summoning systems a la Final Fantasy in a TT RPG?

Ghost Leviathan posted:Summon-based stuff has been in D&D for ages but it's usually pretty rough, either a game breaker or more trouble than its worth. (or both) A few 4e classes have summons of a sorts, Artificers and probably some Wizards come to mind, and plenty of abilities could be refluffed that way. Depends on what you really want out of it. Can be a little especially powerful in 4e because having more pieces on the tactical board is always nice. Well I'm not talking about just summoning random monsters onto the table D&D style, I mean like the really ridiculous bullshit like summoning Leviathan or Ifrit or Bahamut or something crazy like that. It doesn't necessarily have to be a playable piece, though in my head I'd like it to be something akin to Summons from FFX or XII or something where the party gets temporarily replaced by the monster and it can fight for a while and then you can return the party to play afterward. I might just end up writing some story specific powers for the Summons and attach them to specific characters like in FF XII and have the summon replace the player on the field for a limited amount of time. Xarbala posted:Final Fantasy summons are usually just big spell attacks that happen to have some extra flavor, summoning in tabletop rpgs is usually about bringing another combatant into the fight. It's been used in a few different ways over the years. But like I'm said, just curious if there are any RPGs out there that have summoning systems in the FF vein. I assume Anima does, but that game's an out of print garbage pile. S.J. fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Dec 28, 2018 |

Yeah, that helps a little. I've played enough and am familiar enough with the math that I'm okay with writing my own powers, just posting mostly to see if there are any ideas anyone has come across that I might be able to steal or get some inspiration from, d20 system or no.

So my immediate plan is to have a scaling daily that summons a dude and the cost to summon it is a combination of action points and healing surges. Considering allowing people to sustain the summon by spending actions plus healing surges and then maybe even add additional effects based on flavor like Ifrit deals x fire damage per sustain to the caster every round that can't be mitigated. I'll start writing up some drafts soon and throw them in the 4e thread if anyone is interested.

Yeah I've considered putting together a limited "feat" selection for them so they can choose from say one of three options every so often to help them supplement the party better.

If nothing else, I'll have collected some good information on what does/doesn't work, and either way, my players will enjoy being able to call on some ridiculous bullshit for the set pieces I'm going to be building for them.
