>>18086322
You did a good thing today OP

I am anonymous and I approve of this action soldier.

But what if they turn on you?

Today OP is not a faggot.

>>18086322
Clearly, nothing bad could ever come of this. You're gonna be responsible for so many dead children one day. That, or the gods are gonna fuck you.

But good on you, until that day.

>>18086353
That's when you give them more candy.

>>18086353
Ask that yourself about real child soldiers.

>These....SEXY little soldiers....

>>18086322
Son, you rank up there with the best of them.

>>18086322
So... your DM is running a Fallout/Elder Scrolls game?

>>18086322

Wait, so, in your setting children have no way out from a life of constant abuse and neglect when the local law fails to intervene on their behalf?

Damn. Your GM is an evil man.

>>18086366
You can kill real child soldiers.

These children will catch on really quick that they are unkillable, so threats will mean nothing to them.

OP is the poster of the day.

>>18086394
You think of suicide as a way out? For children? Wow.

When I think about it, that would make a good quest. A setting where kids can't be killed, people become aware of this, and they end up turning them into soldiers.

>>18086322
Mission Accepted.

>>18086397
Which is why you will be a benevolent Warlord. Chocolate and Ponies for everyone!

>>18086322
>all children in his setting were protected
What defines a child? What is the age limit of invulnerability?

>>18086421
Actually that does sound pretty sweet.

>>18086397
That's why you keep them drugged up enough to keep them controllable.

>>18086397
Rescue orphans, train them and show them affection.
Lead your invincible army against any and all that oppose you.
The cutest and most loyal shall be your honor guard.
You are the Emprah!

>>18086425

This should be investigated in depth, immortaility awaits those who can find those variables and exploit them!

>>18086425
When this arbitrary age is reached the child is automatically put up for leadership training.

No longer can he fight as fearless warrior, now he will guide them to expedient victory!

>>18086366
>>18086362
>>18086363
>>18086374

Wait, why are we assuming he's using them as immortal soldiers? What if he's using them as sentient guided munitions?

>>18086412
How will the mortal adults control the immortal children, and how can those control schemes fail ?

And how much warning do the children get before losing their immorality ?

>>18086425
Not sure really, probably anything not of "adult" age, perhaps younger.

>>18086440
Age manipulation spells are the new sleep.

>>18086448
>suicide bombers that are immortal themselves

FUND IT.

So logically:
The children cannot go below 1hp. They cannot "die"
Give them easily concealable explosives and collateral damage weaponry and use their newfound invulnerability to sow horror and discord. Brainwash their simple minds into being gods of justice. Have them realise pain is nothing.

And accurately gauge when their adulthood kicks in and inform them of this timeframe

>I promptly made him regret it by weaponizing these little immortals.
Then the BBEG left piles of candy across the street from his stronghold.

It also soon becomes apparent that the Gods enforce both curfews and time-outs. And your final villain is a supremely well traveled bard.

>>18086448
Because making them into ammo is stupid.

>>18086436
they won't be cute for very long

sure, they can't die.. but their bodies break just like anyone else. They suffer in anguish until reaching adulthood (and death)

>>18086448
Re-usable suicide bombers?

Dear god, that's a superb terror weapon.

Most people would only seek out some Magic to turn them into a child themselves. But not you, anon. You'll take it even farther. I'm proud of you.

>>18086464
You misunderstand; they are always above 1 hp. That means they are always sufficiently able to move and fight. Which means they are never in so much pain that it's debilitating.

>>18086464
>>18086470
>it is a good pain....

>>18086462
What's the point of making them immortal in the first place if he didn't want OP to do it? To act like a fuckwit?

>>18086461
They're exempt from dying. He didn't say anything about pain, which gives a way to discipline them. >:)

Forgive my emoticon use. Dealing with malware that hijacks just about any search so I have no relevant pics.

>>18086468
"Pappa OP said that when we come back from battle today we can all ride a dragon!"

"I love Pappa OP!"

Thank you exploitable and stupid gms in limited if not broken game systems

>>18086478
I'm guessing to avoid a "LOOK HOW DARK AND EDGY AND EVIL I AM I JUST MURDERED AN INNOCENT CHILD LOLOLOL SO EVULS" scenario.
Not knowing what actual evil is.

>>18086322

>>18086478
>i know what'll stop them from being That Guy(s), unkillable children! no murder sprees here.

When good ideas go wrong

>>18086478
DM just wanted children to not die. He never forsaw this use of them. Thus the win of this thread.

>>18086462
>And your final villain is a supremely well traveled bard.

OH SHIT IT'S THE PIED PIPER OF HAMLIN. OP is now proper fucked.

>>18086478

See >>18086490 That's what he was trying to avoid.

>>18086490
>>18086500
>>18086493
Well I don't know who to blame for that, but if your players are going about and killing people "just for teh evulz XD" or what have you then you need new players. Isn't that the most reasonable approach?

You did what any human being would do in that situation.

IRL, nations would take advantage of that shit.

>>18086520
Did you seriously just refer to me to a post made after my post, in reply to my post, while I was in the middle of replying to that post? You're three kinds of retarded.

I wonder what system it's in,

Cause then we could find the quickest and cheapest way to cause mass destruction with this invincible army.

We could give them magical artifacts that backfire explosively and just unleash them on the world.

>>18086535
No, he just said it before me.

>>18086522
Yes. But the most important rule as a DM is to never tell this to the players. Because they will abuse anything and everything. And you will deserve it.

>>18086536
d20 future with some tweaks.

>>18086541
Then you didn't need to say it. If nothing else you could have said it without acting retarded.

>>18086545
This.

If it somehow comes to the party harming a child, that's when you pop up with the whole 'divine intervention' rule. And try to downplay it. Alot.

OP, that is fucking terrifying.

Imagine a child who got trapped in an avalanche and, because they can't die, must spend years alone in choking darkness and silence until they are old enough to instantly expire.

>>18086568
That child will be my general, I must find and rescue them, and shape the agony and hatred festering withing to my will.

>>18086450
If the kids act up you could still imprison them, encase them in concrete or something. They can't die and that makes it even more terrifying, being deprived of senses until you hit adult age and finally die. Immortality doesn't mean they get superpowers.

>>18086478
Because the part OP fails to mention is that whenever he sees an Orphanage, group of more than 3 children, or single child by its lonesome he goes full That Guy.

>mfw OP is Big Boss

Then you end up with a couple of kids like this.

>d20 future with some tweaks.
Doesn't drowning damage ignore HP?

What happens when you get on the bad side of the Squirtle Squad? Or the Empoleon/Blastoise/Feraligator triad? Or the mother fucking Mudkip Mafia?

>>18086656
Are there six generations of pokemon games yet? Because all I want to make is a team of the six water starters. That is all I want.

>>18086652
>cement shoes
>throw them in lake
I hope they enjoy waiting until they're old enough to drown

>>18086513
>OH SHIT IT'S THE PIED PIPER OF HAMLIN.

I OWN A PIED PIPER?

FUCKING AWESOME!

Play me the song of your people, Piper.

>>18086652
Hey, I just noticed : the guy that did those is doing Cucumber Quest ?

And this is why back in the day we had death spells with no save. We killed so many children it was no funny.

Who am I kidding, it never stopped being funny.

>>18086722
>guy

The reality of child soldiers is pretty grim.

I mean they are usually forced to mutilate and torture small animals in order to desensitize them into killing machines.

>>18086783
But other times it's adorable.

This thread is like Little Fears: War Edition.

I actually want to run this as the premise of a game where the PCs are either immortal child soldiers or the mortal adults that operate this military machine.

Could use AdEva for this, I suppose.

>>18086769
Human is too long of a word for my weak fingers.

This stinks of a railroad trap. Think about it for a moment.

>all children in his setting were protected from being brought below 1HP by the powers that be.

This alone infers that something or someone is watching out for said children yes? If this DM sees that a simple change is going to be abused by corrupt players, he has every opportunity into rail road them into something awful and they have no one to blame but themselves.

If i were a god that protected all children from dying in the same manner, i'd be rather pissed at those that used them as weapons and there would be literal hell to pay. Such an opening is ripe for DM shenanigans.

>>18086925
Until he turns his armies against the very god which protects them.

What kind of shit DM makes a railroad trap for their players?

Holy shit.

Child Paladins.

Immortal blessed Paladins of the CPS God.

>>18086970
Very logical counter, however, what's stopping the god(s) from just yanking said protection away? They could inform the kids of this if you had a reasonable DM, but if you have a malicious DM, they could let the kids march right to their deaths and still punish the PCs for convincing the kids they were un-killable when they weren't. Thus turning the would be heroes into the new villains on the run.

>>18086982
Considering some of the THAT DM stories i've read on /tg/, you'd be surprised who'd pull it. If you have doubts about that, lurk and find a thread in the archives with the text "WHAT THE FUCK IS A YELLOW DRAGON?".

>>18086464
This only makes your enemies yearn to take them in and comfort them!

>>18087056
And then they trigger the bombs.

>>18087043
He has a policy of not fucking over clever players, luckily.

>>18087043
Well the general idea is that if you a god which give protection from death to all children that that god would either be incapable of removing it (by the manner of some agreement) or unwilling to. And if you force a god to revoke such protection to ensure it's own survival then even if it kills you in the long run you've still won a moral victory over a god in forcing it to not only revoke it's protection over children but also forcing it to kill the children it loves so much.

>>18087082
Then you are more fortunate than most in that regards, although it's something i hope isn't taken for granted.

>>18087105
When dealing with gods, it's not a matter of who's right and who's wrong, it's a matter of who has a better smite button. A moral victory would be a sweet thing against a lawful good god, but against practically any other aligned god, all you've accomplished is getting to the top of the list of things that it needs to smite.

>>18087223
Perhaps, but personally I'd I be more than happy with a moral victory of the Child Protection God.

>>18087261
And as I said before I can't see anything but a Good-aligned god in a position to remove that protection.

>rcessanc may
Well okay captcha, .but rcessanc is a dick.

I've not laughed at anything so hard today, thanks /tg/, that's why you're my favorite.

On topic: I see the immortality being yanked as soon as one of these kids made their first kill in the name of said overlord. Innocence = childhood to me. Once something has killed something else, it stops being a child. Accidents are one thing but moving with intent to harm is another, even if the thing doesn't understand the concept. If the DM was a party pooper he would pull that card, I'm sure.

If he's not and its an immutable rule, I'd love to see him try and work his way out of that one.

>>18087472
Hmm, this is a good point. I guess we'd just have to use some sort of mass mind control on the children so that they didn't willingly commit the murders in that case.

Children are now remote-controlled murder shells.

>>18087656

"Can we go out for ice cream afterwards?"

Immortal Child Thralls for the win.

So... what if it's not a *good* God who's doing the protecting, but an evil one who foresaw all this dickery?

Probably a bit above the DM in question, and a bit of a derp-retcon button, but it could make the basis for a very interesting campaign?

>>18087843
I plan to take a page from one of the above players and have my players play immortal child soldiers.

>>18087783
>"Can we go out for ice cream afterwards?"

For the life of me I can't remember where this portrait and quote are from.

Please help.

Mecha and Manga sourcebook for Mutants and Masterminds 2e.

Strap babies to your chest to use as a meat shield.

Childhood is lost with innocence, GM could define that as fully understanding love or death.

Your child soldiers are now one-shot immortals that had better never see the results of their handiwork.

>mfw this is future so give their HUDs a tactical overlay that turns combat into a war simulation and spawns repeating avatars over enemies

one of the most hilarious moments in any campaign i've ever played involved the death of a child.
Star Wars saga games. Good aligned force user attempts to use the force to hold a sith apprentice (about 12ish) while the sith tried to force jump away and escape. crit fail on the jump and crit success on the force use equals smooshed sith appretice. coul not stop laughing.

>>18091922
>Childhood is lost with innocence
So he can't just kill a child for the lulz, he has to thoroughly corrupt it before killing it.
You made everything worse.

>>18086451
>>18086450
Until they loose their virginity.

Which could lead to some very awkward explaining if someone's kid dies

>>18086322
Your GM is a moron from shying away from the problems instead of enforcing the consequences.

Good for you. Make him face himself. Then he should face the child killers with heroes.

Cast enlarge person on some of the children. Train other children to serve as archers. Have child archers mounted on giant children firing flaming arrows. Children hurling children over city walls, slingshotting children to the roofs of castles with satchels of alchemist's fire at the ready.

Destroy the world OP.
