But Maleficent was just a nice girl scorned by a greedy little shit of a man.

>>36156877

That may be true, but not necessarily what has happened in this setting.

>>36156926
I would still bang her.

>>36156987

Noted.

>>36154233
>>36154456
>there is a small band still free, waiting for the opportune time to strike.

Grimhilde Mirrorfetish, queen: The Fairest Queen rules the Mirror Kingdoms. I am queen. We are in the right in all matters.

PC, Adventurer: I am here to discuss serving your cause.

Grimhilde Mirrorfetish, queen: A particular outlaw has been causing us much hardship.

Grimhilde Mirrorfetish, queen: Appleeaten is a short walk to the southwest.

Grimhilde Mirrorfetish, queen: Seek this place and kill Urist Grumpydigging the Miner.

>>36156877
She was a psycho bitch.

>You didn't invite me to your party? THEN I KILL YOUR NEWBORN DAUGHTER!

That's exactly how a fae queen should be though.

I think I might try to stat out a Hunnic Chinese Campaign character for fun. Just your standard, run of the mill human, but out of curiosity, was there ever any discussion about the possibility of playing an undead character within the context of Mulan's Spiritual War? Personally, I think that within this specific context an undead character would work nicely, but that it might not be entirely appropriate for this setting, and that many posters might not be in favor of it.

Sample Character:

>John Littlefinger
>Nimble Guy
>Attributes:
Robustness:8
Agility:10
Intelligence:7
Sensibility:8
Charm:7

>Skills:
Withstand:3
Acrobatics:1
Travel:3
Persuasion:2
Ranged:3

>Powers:
An Impressive Performance: Spend a will point. Gain +5 bonus to Acrobatics or Athletics during this turn. Your movement speed doubles.
Eagle-eye Shot: Spend a will point. You can target two enemies during a turn. Get a +3 bonus to Ranged skill.

>Traits:
Feeling Lucky, Punk?: Gain a +3 bonus to Persuasion if you fight an enemy on one-on-one combat.
Mexican Standoff: Gain a +2 bonus to Ranged if you face two enemies in a duel.

>Ideals:
Here's how you lasso: Teach someone how to lasso.
Law and Order, folks: Impose law on a small settlement.

>Goals:
Law is Justice: Impose law around the territory of Alameda Slim.
Lasso em' boys!: Make lasso-ing a countrywide sport.

>Equipment:
448. Godwyn Revolver (two-handed weapon)
Juegos Traditionales' brand armor (light armor)
Nob, an old horse.

>fluff: <Just make him a once Deputy Sheriff that went into hiding when Alameda SLim took over. Has an affinity for lasso's and wants to make it into a sport.>

>>36156847
Updated KLR. I actually posted these some four threads ago, but apparently nobody noticed.
http://pastebin.com/Z8wFJrhh

Contains Hades, Facilier, Frollo and what little there was regarding Yzma

>>36156877
We're ignoring Maleficent apart from the fairie designs.

Loving it so far, but I have a question: what about the Princesses? Are they the same ones as in the movies, or are there new and different ones? What relations would they have with the villains: would they be evil too, or would it be a disturbing and smoking hot "master/slave" thing?

>>36157248
This is up to the discretion and/or perversion of the GMs.

>>36157248
I think the only real answer I can give to these questions is 'Yes'.

So people were going to re-make the Mononoke lore last thread or something?

>>36157280
I thought so. I just wasn't sure how magical our realm would be, ifyannowhatImean.

I really hope i can GM this with some friends. They are professional actors working and composing musicals. They also make improv music and musicals.
Can you imagine how awesome this would be?

File: Gaston.jpg (172 KB, 1920x1080)

>>36156847
Gaston is only a villain if you're a beta-bitch boy.

So what would have happened if Gaston had won? He kills a fucking kidnapping monster, and puts an objectively crazy old man in a place where they can give him the care he needs.

The Beast is like a metaphor for abusive relationships, and teaches young girls a terrible lesson: "Deep down beyond that raging, plate smashing shouting asshole monster is really a hurt little child that you can fix." It's like page one of the abused womans handbook.

What's Gastons biggest crime? That he's not really into Books? Who cares? Don't be elitist. He's a hunter, he actually contributes to the society by putting food on the table. He's got a lot of chicks into him? Does that make him bad? He could fuck any girl in town, he's looking for a smart interesting woman for a WIFE. Usually women consider that a GOOD thing.

>>36157248

Of all the Princesses, I believe that we've only come to a consensus on three:

>Kidagakash of Atlantis has completely merged with the Heart of Atlantis, but has retained her consciousness and acts as a sort of guardian deity for all Atlanteans, coming to them in their dreams and protecting them through the crystal pendants they wear.

>Princess Anna of Arendelle was frozen solid and killed by her sister ice powers, causing Elsa to fall into the deep despair that doomed their country to suffer a permanent winter. That despair then animated her body, transforming it into a friendly but ditzy construct of blue ice.

>Mulan was killed by the Huns some time during their invasion and Shan Yu was able to take over all of China, executing the Emperor and usurping his throne. Unable to let this transgression stand, the Honored Ancestors raised Mulan as an unkillable, undead Joan of Arc figure to lead a Spiritual War against the Huns.

>>36157087
Maybe a downgrade to agility in favour of one for ROBUSTNESS?

Does anyone feel like writing up rules for playing different raptors, from Velociraptors up to Utahraptors?

>>36157622
I'll have a crack.

>>36157394
Or if you're Belle.

As her father is insane and she is a woman and therefore doo dumb to run her own life she'll be married off for her own best, and it's not rape if they're married.

>>36157581

That might actually work. An agility cap with a boost to ROBUSTNESS. Or perhaps an intelligence cap? I don't know. I think it might be able to work out in a Chinese Campaign, seeing as the theme of that Land is good(ish) undead and spirits against the Huns.

Still working in my Chinese character.

>>36157644
Can't think of more powers/traits


Raptor
Size - Small to Large
Natural Weapons - Bite, Sickle Claw
+2 to Agility, -2 to Robustness

Racial Traits
-Clever Girl - +2 on Brawl rolls against an enemy already engaging another character
-Thief Species - +3 on Legerdemain rolls


Racial Powers
-Fastest Thief- Spend a Will point for +10 on any Acrobatics or Athletics roll

Should any of the "villains" be actually not evil in this setting? Not necessarily good or kind, but just not as vile and malicious as they are depicted in their respected animated films? More like neutral forces that people don't understand and are afraid of, but who don't want to just destroy or rule humanity for the sake of ruling or destroying it? Maybe PC could ally with some of them if they behave a certain way or turn the neutrals against themselves if they do it wrong.
What do you think?

>>36157836
Elsa, the Firebird (sort of), the Aurora Borealis, Alameda Slim, Radcliffe all sort of fit those criteria.

>>36157828
Eh, I'd say only the smaller raptors get the stat adjustments. Good work though.

>>36157864
don't forget President Rourke that glorious bastard

>>36157836
I mean, it's not different then how he's depicted in the films, but Louie isn't malicious.

He's reckless and dangerous but he doesn't go out of his way to harm people, and can be quite helpful and friendly.

>>36157864
>the Firebird
>The Firebird has no alliances; he serves no one, he cannot distinguish friend from foe - he is a primal living force of destruction. He lives only to destroy and despises all that brings life and creation. His only weakness is that he only destroys - he cannot create nor can he persist, as he returned to his slumber when there is nothing left for him to destroy.
Yeah, no.

>>36157947

Well, it doesn't want to destroy humanity for the sake of destroying it, it seeks to destroy everything because that is the only thing it can do in any way, shape or form.

Hence why I said 'sort of'.

A'ight you glorious bunch of faggots

Fuck that, let's go punch some villains guys

I just realized something

Our shotguns give a huge bonus to ranged, right?

I'm not sure if that's how it works but by now we can probably have people sniping at each other with shotguns

>>36156871


You guys know these lists are also full on the really early not balanced stuff right?

>>36157864
>Elsa
Yes.
>the Firebird
No. It is the force of nature and nothing else, if we don't change it in this universe. There's no way PC's would be able to communicate or ally with it. Lure a villian so it eats him|her? Sure, but that's not really the same thing, they could as well use an avalanche or a volcano.
>the Aurora Borealis
Yes.
>Alameda Slim, Ratcliffe
Not really. These two are pretty much self-centred and egoistic bastards and don't really care for anything else but their miserable goals. They minor and pretty much powerless but would hop in place of the present big guys if given the power.
>>36157887
>Rourke
I guess so.

However, I was talking about other villains. What do those who don't strife for world domination want? Do any of them regret what they done, wish the past was different? Maybe the present state of the world irritates some and they are ready to help bring the most annoying rulers down just to so noone would ever bother them?

Like, should Queen Grimhilde even try to take down the players? Should Maleficent be as malicious?

As a fellow Dredd fan, I approve of this.

>>36158141
If they threaten her power, Grimhilde will try to take them down. If one's them beautiful, she'll do her damn best to kill her. She's a narcissistic control freak.

Yes, Maleficent should be as malicious as she is. She tried to kill a child because her parents didn't invite her to the christening - and when that doesn't stick she tries her hardest to make sure the girl will never be woken. She's a fey, she calls herself the Mistress of All Evils and calls upon ALL THE POWERS OF HELL. Why on Chairman Bob's blackened earth would she not be as malicious?

Writing up a oneshot to start out, something simple (I know people in my group browse /tg/, so now is a good time for you to leave).

I haven't seen much fluff for the gargoyles from hunchback, so I'm planning on using a crazed one as the main enemy. I figured Frollo might order them removed from any church when he comes to power, so they all come to life and flee, some becoming feral without the church binding them. This one ends up terrorizing a small town, not important enough for the Inquisition to get involved, but a difficult encounter for a low-level party.

>Huo Zhi
>Medium Sized Chinese Farmer (Strong Guy)

>"Ohhhhh I can't be having with this..."

Huo Zhi is a farmer with modest desires and ambitions: all she really, truly wants to raise her children, farm her land and honor her ancestors in peace. She is also, however, a farmer with a temper who doesn't tolerate tomfoolery and who refuses to be pushed around. When the new Hunnic governor of her province began levying higher taxes and making examples of the farmers who couldn't afford to pay them, Zhi decided it might be time to find out more about this whole "Spiritual Rebellion" mess that her neighbors keep whispering about, and just who this "Ping Mulan" thinks she is.

Aurora

—>getting revenge on Gaston by getting herself turned into a Beast
>after fleeing from the burning and ruined castle of the beast, she wanders deep into the faelands where she meets the enchantress who originally placed the curse upon the beast. Telling her that beast had found love, but died from the foolishness and cruelty of Gaston and the villagers, the Enchantress bestowed upon Belle what she desired most: Revenge. As the green mist envolped her, Belle faded away, and with the twisted laughing of the fae, a new beast emerged.
—>Nobody knows what happened to Belle when her love, the Beast, was shot and killed by Gaston. Fanciful stories place her in Australia, seeking revenge against the Hunters but the validity of these stories is unknown.

Cinderella
—>probably starved under a bridge
—>This former serving girl is now a nun in Catholic France. She has been linked to an underground revolutionary movement known as the Glass Slipper but she maintains that she is absolutely loyal to Pope Pierre II.

Snow White
—>better believe she ded

Beata Maria
You know I am a rules-light man
Of my virtue I am justly proud

Beata Maria
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, min-maxing crowd

Then tell me, Maria
Why I see them playing there
Why their complex rules still scorch my soul

I feel them, I see them
The fun caught in magic spells
Is blazing in me out of all control

Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in my skin
This burning
Desire
Is turning me to sin
It's not my fault

I'm not to blame

It is the anons there
The wizards sent this flame

It's not my fault

If in God's plan

He made the magic so much
Stronger than a man

Protect me, Maria
Don't let these siren casts their spell
Don't let their rules ruin my perfect game
Destroy all the wizards
And let them taste the fires of hell
And let these rules be mine and mine alone
Hellfire
Dark fire
Now wizard, it's your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Rules-light or you will burn

God have mercy on them

God have mercy on me

But this will be mine
Or it will burn!

I made this to give an idea of worship. Obviously it's not hard and fast rules but it gives an idea of religious distribution.

I like the idea of Belle the Beast, if only to give the PCs more allies around the world. Besides, it would fun to fluff and crunch out Belle Beast as an NPC hero, and it gets REALLY fun imagining her like Beast from the X-Men, hulking and monstrous but super eloquent and well read.

>>36158987
>>36159006
I sort of figured that Ratcliffe would have utterly removed any trace of native belief in Virginia. I could see it persisting in the Old West though. It should definitely bleed into Elsa's realm a bit.

Aboriginals, yeah, and maybe some persistant Incan beliefs in the Hunter's South American territories.

Definitely post it on the 1d4chan page if you'd like. It will be a great resource.

>>36159030
I agree wholeheartedly that final say as to what happens to the Princes and Princesses in-game ought to be up to the GM's discretion, but its always fun and helpful to work out different options and possibilities even if the GMs aren't obligated to use them.

So how would Ice Anna react if she met Hans? Or if the players decided they wanted to kill Elsa rather than redeem her? Should the players be given a choice between helping Anna and helping Hans, if Hans is involved here?

>>36159242
Will do.

>>36159242
Don't forget about this one.

King: Captain Hook - Pixie Dust. Thanks to the captive Tinkerbell, Hook has outfitted himself and his allies with flying ships to best evade the wrath of the sea witch Ursula. With the pirates constantly thinking happy thoughts about pirating as much as they could ever want, the majority of the captains and their crews are capable of individual flight as well, making them formidable foes. (They are, however, prone to depression. Songs about mothers seem to cripple morale).

Lands: The Islands and the Cloud Sea. The islands controlled by the pirate alliance are constantly under siege from the sea, and so are largely unused on a day-to-day basis. Shore leave is a joyous occasion for the pirates, though very brief. PCs without flight must risk traversing the seas and catching one of the crews during their brief shore leaves before Ursula catches wind of the party and whips up a storm. The skies are where the pirates reign supreme, however, and any airborne group is a potential target for the loot-hungry pirate fleet. Walking the plank is nearly a mile down to the treacherous seas below.

Rule: Good Form. The crews of Hook, Davy Jones and the Pirate Lords abide by the strict laws of the Pirate's Code. The Code dictates everything of piratical life: rules of hierarchy, manners, fashion, engagement, combat etiquette, loot and just about every other aspect of life. The Code is to be strictly adhered to, and the pirates' views on the PCs will relate directly to it. A pirate PC would know the Code by heart, but any other would have to ask around or guess as to whether an question or action would possibly go against the Code. Violating the Code is a serious offense, one that could merit death if severe enough, though the rules can be skirted fairly easily since they're more of guidelines than actual rules.

Also hey all, I'm awake again.

I like this a lot. It shows that there is something wrong both spiritually and politically in the Archdiocese, in a way that has a lot of promise without height too much for low level characters to handle.

I found a problem with your map. It appears to imply that Yzma would allow worship of anything aside from Yzma.

>>36159252
The players should ALWAYS be given a choice. They may have even been sent into Adendelle at Hans' behest. It's up to the characters and the players to decide what the best course of action is in dealing with the Snow Queen given the information they learn from Hans, from their own investigation and from what Ice Anna tells them.

I feel if Hans met Ice Anna, he would probably be taken aback momentarily by the thought that Elsa had raised an "abomination" before attempting to shatter her. Which might not work out too well for him seeing as she's made of magical ice with only a hazy understanding of human mortality. Ice Anna herself would probably just be thrilled to meet someone new who also knew the Old Anna.

>>36159378
What if she knew that he killed the old Anna? And was also the one responsible for Elsa being the way she is?

>>36159410

This hypothetical meeting makes me want to try and stat Ice Anna out as an NPC hero in the same way Mulan the Undying was statted out in a precious thread.

I think that as a REALLY sophisticated construct wrought from intense emotion and the body of a dead Princess, Ice Anna might have some access to the same frost magic that her "sister" has, albeit much less powerful and perhaps comically inept. At the very least she'd be able to keep herself from melting away, and at most? Perhaps some sort of freeze-on-touch and ice-bolt abilities.

Fulffwise... What Ice Anna would actually do if she had the knowledge of Hans' actions is a good question. I feel like she would probably ask a lot of questions, innocently and confusedly at first, starting off referring to "The Queen" and "Princess Anna." The more answers she got the more confused and upset she would become, transitioning to saying "Elsa" and "Anna" before finally becoming distraught and desperate and using the word "my sister" and "me," maybe not outright attacking Hans but trying to hold on to him or go to him seeking more answers to the questions that are hurting her.

>>36159410
The answer is probably 'not very happy.'

Random thought. So you need the original body to bring a Soul from Hades back to life, right?

What would happen if you crammed Anna's soul into Ice Anna? Is it still intact enough to be used? If it is, what about the fact that there's already somebody using it?

>>36159629
Would she end up fighting the PCs if they try to fight Elsa? Hell, would SHE fight Elsa, if she thinks it'd put her out of her misery? Maybe Elsa worries that she will, and might be tempted to use her powers to assert complete dominance over Ice Anna's will. I could see her resisting that temptation, and probably going "what the fuck have I done" if she actually did it, but it might work for making her a little more morally grey.

Rule number one of Disney is that the power of Love, and occasionally friendship, can best ANYTHING.

>>36159755
>>36159785
Well, can power, love and friendship prevail in a world where Cherno Alpha exists? Maybe it's him that's preventing the standard Laws of Disney from taking effect. With him around, the world becomes a little worse. Heroes aren't as lucky, people don't miraculously survive things that will kill you 99% of the time, and friendship won't let you overcome absolutely everything. I like the sound of that - our BBEG is so evil and powerful, the entire universe is objectively worse just because he exists.

>>36159683

I really don't know how this scenario would play out. I believe but am not entirely sure that the current line of thought is that the process that made Ice Anna transformed her from a frozen flesh and blood body into a construct of pure blue and white ice.

>>36159819

>Chernyroberson makes the Power of Love/Friendship useless

THAT FUCKER IS TRULY THE ANTI-DISNEY

>>36159832
That makes a lot more sense. Otherwise, Ice Anna would be pretty terrifying. Imagine an inanimate corpse being dragged around like a puppet by the ice that coats it.

>>36159875
Not totally useless, because then it's just shitty musical DnD. Just not all-powerful.

>>36159819

Wait.....Does that mean that he sucked all the supernatural Power of Love/Friendship from our world before moving on to Disney? Did sucking out our power give him enough strenght to kill God in that setting??

DID WE ALLOW OR CAUSE IT TO HAPPEN BECAUSE WE WANTED TO MAKE THIS TABLETOP?!

>>36159897
Yeah, Ice Anna isn't a corpse. Shes a statue made of ice formally known as the artist Anna

I believe that LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP are probably the recipe for Arendelle's best case scenario, and that players and characters that choose this option ought to feel rewarded for having not just beaten the Snow Queen but having healed her as well. That being said, I can see three possible endings for Ice Anna in my head already: Bad, Bittersweet, and Good:

>Bad
>Elsa the Snow Queen is attacked by the party or is completely unmoved by their overtures of friendship, and does battle with them, bringing her full power and all her madness and grief to bear against them. As they fight, Ice Anna is stuck on the sidelines, desperately trying to stop them from fighting, and just before the killing blow is struck by either side, she leaps between them in an attempt to stop the battle. Ice Anna is struck, shattering into a thousand pieces, causing the Snow Queen to scream "SISTER!" and immediate stop fighting, dropping to her knees before Ice Anna's deliriously smiling and quickly fracturing head. "You called me sister..." She says before falling to pieces, leaving the once terrible Snow Queen a sobbing wreck, unable to do anything else to stop the party in their task.

>The PCs can't even stand up or do anything anymore; they are trapped in a hurricane of ice and grief, the wind carrying Elsa's cries everywhere

>Until it suddenly....Stops.

>The PCs slowly crawl out of the snow to look at what happened, and then they see

>Glinting in the light, kneeled in the snow, lies the frozen form of Elsa. Her face is buried in her hands, and her whole body simply....Froze in place.

>She will never hurt anyone again. But even as they leave the statue behind, they can hear in the snow and the wind, the soft sobs of the Crying Queen

>Bittersweet
>Elsa, the Ice Queen, is not entirely convinced by the party's negotiation techniques, and may as before begin to fight the adventurers in her throne room, with the party and Ice Anna working together to try and get the frosty monarch to see that things can still get better and that she is not a bad person at heart and can still do what's right, even if it won't fix all the problems she's caused all at once. Through the impassioned speech of the party leader and the heartfelt encouragement of Ice Anna, Snow Queen Elsa finally manages to wrestle control of her powers once again, causing the blizzard to break and summer to return in full force. Seeming relieved and in so tired after it's all over, both the party and Snow Queen Elsa turn and look for Ice Anna to congratulate her in her help. They find her, settled down peacefully by the open window, a balmy breeze blowing in. She has thawed out and once more is no more and no less than the flesh and blood body of Princess Anna, but she is smiling and looks happy in her rest at long last.

We explode Bald Mountain? Make it erupt. Shove some magic in that bitch and watch it go boom.

Is Scar still running the pridelands like he was when he was in power in the movies? Because really, that shit was not sustainable. Heroes or no, he'd end up ruling over a wasteland then eaten by his hyenas regardless. Unless he worked something else out for food, I guess?

Also, Gaston needs to have some darker dealings than just being the local violent meathead.

It's quite a problem, yes.

Domestication and slavery of the smaller herbivores and omnivores. For example, humans.

I swear, ONE more character, and then I'm going to start working away at real-world shit.

A note to whomever runs the traits pastebins: the 'Cree' trait should actually be 'Half-blood'.

>>36160281

>Good
>There is no battle, no flinging of frost and arrows, no clashing of ice and steel. The party, along with Ice Anna, confront Queen Elsa not as enemies but as people who care and who understand the pain and the guilt the young monarch has suffered alone with for so long. They speak to her not as a squad of would be conquerors but as a group of new friends, as well as two very old, if peculiar friends. Ever so slowly, the fears stop falling from Queen Elsa's eyes, and she can bear to face these people, can bear to face Ice Anna, and can bear to face herself. Ever so slowly, the wind stops howling outside, and the great blizzard dissipates, leaving only sunny skies and quickly thawing snow outside. Rushing to the throne room's balcony the party sees that not only has Arendelle begun to thaw, but so has its people. All those flash frozen in the streets far below have begun to revive, as life and spring return. The party knows their job is done, but tell Queen Elsa that they need her to come with them, to bring her power and her might and her heart to help defeat The Lord of Bald Mountain. To this she agrees, though reluctantly, determined to go out and do good in the world to help make up for her mistakes of the past. She smiles to herself at the idea, mistakes off he past, and calls Ice Anna and Olaf out into the balcony as well, conjuring snow squalls above their heads to keep them frozen in the growing heat. Smiling to Ice Anna in a painfully shy way, she tells the construct that, while she is away adventuring, she is going to need someone to help the people of Arendelle recover and rule in her place. She says that the people of Arendelle could use a kind and familiar face on the throne, even if that face does belong now to a new friend.

Hey guys, you know the thing about Belle possibly having moved to France?
Can she be at least partially a Beast anyway? Like, maybe a werebeast?

>>36160533
That would require forethought, and not immediately eating all resources available outright. Which is not out of the question or even out of character, but it sure as hell isn't what he did in the movies. Maybe he got some brains to help him out with planning? That or he has a policy of ever encroaching on others territory in order to feed his subjects. Maybe both.

>>36160581
Up to the DM of the game.

>>36160579
You know, in this case the bittersweet ending is actually the best ending for Anna. If you can keep the body fresh long enough you could mount a raid to the underworld and get her soul back into it, after all.

So, if Cinderella is leading a resistance as seems to be the general idea, then should we go into more detail on how that works? For such a famous character, we really haven't gone into detail about her backstory.

>>36160581
>>36160606

Though it is up to the DM's final call, if you want to stat Beast Belle up or write some fluff, go ahead on! I'd love to see it.

>>36160619

The best for Anna maybe, but Ice Anna is fine forever, and even getting Anna's soul back isn't a sure thing, even if she is in Hades' Underworld.

If she hadn't stolen Stephan's ruby and thrown it in the river, he wouldn't have had to work in the castle in the first place.

She's a cunt in either version.

What's our rules on various firearms? I assumed pistols would be +1 and longarms would be +2 like one handed and two handed melee weapons, but then greatswords are only +3 while shotguns are +6, even though they have the same Robustness requirements. Do shotguns have a higher bonus than greatswords because you wield a greatsword with Robustness anyways, or do guns just give higher bonuses than their melee counterparts?

>>36160864

>Do shotguns have a higher bonus than greatswords because you wield a greatsword with Robustness anyways

Yes, exactly, but you can also explain it by saying that a shotgun is a far more advanced weapon that a great sword.

But balance wise, it's totally because you need Agility to use a Shotgun, while in Disney movies Shotguns are for people like Gaston.

Should we put the capitals on the map?

>>36160864

In general, shotguns aside, firearms should juyst be considered to be very good weapons.

Guns, this way, would give a +2, while Riffles would give a +3.

Shotguns are just over the top weapons.

>>36160932
We'd have to settle where they are, first. Places like Atlantis would be particularly problematic.

You have 3 Will Points.

You pick a Race and get its bonuses.

You pick a Basic Role and get its bonuses. Pick a Power from that Role's list.

You get 3 Traits. You can pick them from the Generic Traits List or from some other Traits List open only to your Race or Role.

You get one extra Power. You can pick it from the Generic Powers List or from your Role's Powers List.

Your starting equipment is up to the GM, I guess. It really depends from campaign to campaign.

>>36161153

Oh, and you Speed is equal to your ROBUSTNESS! + your Agility.

Nimble Guys get a bonus to it. I guess there are Races that get you a Speed Bonus as well, but I didn't pay attention to those so I can't really tell.

And now I'm checking out.

>>36161776
Yes, exactly. So FIVE GOALS

>>36161818
But I thought the point of this is that you'd start with 3 and the other 2 would arise during gameplay.

>>36161846
Yeah, you have three starting goals and gain two as your character adventures and realises other things they need to do.

>>36161818

Five Goals when you get to Hero Tier. We just explained character creation rules here.

>>36161809

Beautiful. A great character and a truly perfect use of the Rules.

You're a good man, Knightfag.

>>36161846
>>36161862

Exactly: three Goals in the beginning.

Honestly, starting with 5 Goals would be too fucking much: you'd basically have to plan your character's entire history since the beginning, instead of letting it grow naturally during the game.

>>36161683
>>36161818
See? Calm you tits, bro, we got this.

>>36161682

>You procure transportation to the Grand Archdiocese and trek alone, as is your way, through the French countryside, tracking the Beast.

>At least a few peasants in every little village and hamlet you pass through seem to have some sort of story or other about the Beast you hunt, which is encouraging news.

>The stories of dangerous beasts of the forests like bears and wolves and more Eldritch things from the Briarwoods being ripped to shreds are interesting.

>The stories of gifts being left on the doorsteps of poor families and destitute farmers, mostly enchanted antiques and well-read books are rather puzzling.

>The stories of stranded hunters and lost children being rescued from certain death in the deep woods by a great and mysterious She-Beast are completely unbelievable.

>You hunt on.

I don't know, I was just writing down what people said. Generally, I would say that bonus only applies if you're shooting at point-blank range, and decreases by 1 for every five meters.

Keep in mind you can make up your own traits, m8. Still; good. Zealous Champion is strong but villains still have a means to overcome it so it's fine.

no.

no no no no no no
we are not having this argument again
EVERY SKILL GOES FROM ONE TO SIX. THE BONUS YOU GET FROM THE SKILL JUST HAPPENS TO BE +3 AT LEVEL ONE. LET ME USE AN EXAMPLE FROM THE FORBIDDEN GAME; PATHFINDER GIVES YOU A +3 MISCELLANEOUS BONUS TO A SKILL THE FIRST TIME YOU PUT A POINT IN IT.

>THERE, HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS?


A lot of times, because it's retarded and you're the only one thart wants that.

Why should we use an idiotic mechanic from Pathfinder when we can just put the +2 directly into the Skill?

The Skills go from +0 to +3. Done. No need to write 1 into the character sheet and then remember to add +2 every time you use it.

I also think we should just go from 0 to 3. Easier to remember

Both ironic and hypocritical.

>>36162644

Like hell I'm gonna use that: first you're all autistic about keeping it rules-light, then you want me to "decreas a bonus by 1 for every five meters"?

>>36162644
Cool your autism, namefag, we were doing great without you here. Go back to burning a Harry Potter book.

>>36162688
If we do that, we'll have to change the math to skills going from 0 to 8 instead to keep the TN balanced and by extension traits and powers. Feel free, but keep in mind that means that it makes things need to be edited heavily. Go for it, remember to edit the tiers to have skill cap go from 6 to 7 instead of 4 to 5, etc.

>>36162682
Why would I hate Atlantean technology?

>>36162730
Because crazy Atlantean technology doesn't break games in half over it's knee like magic does in 80% of the games it's in.

>>36162757
Hey, we came up with it back in thread 6. It's a long-runner.

>>36162767
Christ almighty, you're like vultures. I just made that up in 10 seconds, I'm sure you have a better suggestion for how to balance shotguns.


>>36162794
No.
anyway, back to business:
Genies:
Genie
Size Medium (But usually larger than equivalent humans)
Traits:
Genie magicks!: Manipulate 1kg of living matter as you see fit. This requires one minute to actually operate, and has no offensive capabilities. This translates to a +2 bonus to Craft if you use it for anything other than comedic relief.
Attribute Bonuses: +2 Robustness.


Faeries:
Size Tiny
Faith, trust, and faerie dust: +3 to Acrobatics and Athletics while not under any sort of pressure other than the task at hand.
+2 to Agility

Not sure if they should be mute or not -- tinkerbell is, but the fae in sleeping beauty aren't.

>>36156847
planning on making a character right now, which is the most underused class?

>>36162794
He's been here before, you know. He's one of the founding members.
Then again, we have been taking a lot of what he says as granted. Nob, respectable you may be, but anonymous is the leader of this project. We lead the namefags, not the other way round.
>>36162806
And in the other games, they just don't call it magic. There isn't some supernatural curse on the concept of magic that makes it unbalance absolutely everything.

>>36162757
To be fair, pathfinder magic and skills are entirely separate. He wasn't even promoting it either, just making a comparison. Be fractionally less mad, man.

>>36162815
Smart Guy, I think.

>>36162806

>If we do that, we'll have to change the math

Nob, for the love of God, it's the exact same thing, nothing changes: we are just calling it

>3, 4, 5 and 6.

instead of

>1 + 2; 2 + 2, 3 + 2 and 4 + 2.

It's just so that the number you have written on you sheet is the number you add to you rolls, without having to remember an extra bonus.

With Drive: 1, you have to had 1 and then 2.

With Drive: 3 you had +3.

Also, fuck you: Nob is a cool namefag and he made a shitload of Traits and Species. Maybe YOU should calm down a bit, son.

. . . of course, I also wish he would stop changing the PERFECT way I explain the Skill system.

>>36162965

Shit, yeah, add.

>With Drive: 1 you have to add 1 and then 2.

>With Drive 3 you just add +3.

Thanks.

>>36162867
Well then, let's just do it if it's that easy to change.

I've got no particular care for the mechanic.

>>36162644
Fuuuuck, this guy again. Go away, Anti-Mage, we don't want you here.

>>36162995
Which is exactly why, in our discussions on magic, we concluded that spells, or technology or alchemy (we might give players a choice), should be mostly support abilities. Setting an ally's sword on fire, brewing potions the whole party can use, creating force fields using Atlantean tech to protect your bros, channel an ancient spirit to give strength to your friends, that kind of thing. This is why some systems make magic a game-breaker: They don't know what wizards are supposed to do. They just let them teleport and throw fireballs and do whatever they want. We have a role for Sages. We have a purpose for magic/tech/alchemy/spirit channelling. They're there to make everyone else better. And most importantly, we know OUR magic is not PATHFINDER'S magic, and SOME PEOPLE should stop assuming it is.

>>36163086
Except given a micrometer, the bastards known as wizards will take an astronomical unit.

NO QUARTER! Burn the witch! Punish the wizard! Purge the unclean!

>>36163086
I like it.

Let's start statting up some wizards.

>>36163073
What kind of mage do you support a OC using?
If you say anything remotely similar to towing fireballs, teleporting, stopping time, flying at will, etc. , your opinion is disregarded because that is the only kind of magic user Nob disapproves of.

>>36163086
What character aspect should incorporate magic? Powers, skills, traits ... ?
If anyone has the skill, they should consider making a model magical character. There was a genie a thread or two ago that wasn't horrible, but needed improvement.

>>36162263
Yep, I should probably make Zealous Champion a trait instead of But It Is Not This Day!. How's this for a replacement power?

>Pick On Someone Your Own Size (or Bigger, Like Me): When an ally is physically attacked by an opponent you can spend a Will point to either A) take a move toward him and attempt to Withstand the attack in his place or B) take a move toward the attacker and (if in range) make a Melee roll against him.

>>36163086
Then make some powers for it that emulate magic. It shouldn't fit under traits, those bonuses are too good for +2 or whatever. You need to keep it under tight control though, want to avoid magic buffs running rampant as the only real means to support.

Do we have a skill for alchemy yet, or does that fit under Science/Occult/Craft?

Anyway; game mastery.

Mooks: Mooks is a generic term for enemies the player characters will encounter that aren't generally important enough to have their own name or even last out the encounter. Mooks are defeated on receiving even a single Strike, and generally have a 7 in every statistic. They tend to only have 3 in any skill unless they're highly skilled, in which case it may be 4. Use liberally -- it makes the players feel powerful to run over crowds of Mooks. Villains should have at least a handful at all times!


>>36163181
The Genie was something I came up with on the fly. Any suggestions are appreciated, at the moment all I have is minor magicks for released Genies.

>>36163154
Oh, for fuck's sake, will you stop it with this "LE ANTI-WIZURD INKWISISHUN ECKS DEE DEE" ebin may-may. It's not funny, it's not clever and it's holding back the project.
>>36163163
>>36163181
I was thinking we give the Sage class abilities at level 1 like being able to detect if an enemy is lying, or giving a friendly character they touch +1 defense.
By the way, a mechanic I've thought of to go with the Strikes system:
>Second Wind: By calling on their own determination, their devotion to their friends or some other source of energy, a character can roll 3d6 to regain 1 strike. More than 9 means that a strike is regained. Second Wind can be used (X) times per day.
If this is implemented, Sages might get a healing spell at level 1 that gives a bonus to Second Wind or an extra usage. Wouldn't directly restore a strike, since I think we should save those powers for later, but it'd help.

>>36163220

Also, Mooks don't roll to avoid attacks: they just add 3 to their Attribute + Skill.

This means the TN you need to reach to hit a mook is usually 13.

I think it's a nice TN, since it means a skilled hero can automatically hit a mook, but maybe we should upp it a bit. Maybe they could add 6?

Still, they shouldn't roll: it's too much work for they GM if every mook is rolling to avoid being hit and there's dozens of them.

What do you guys think?

>>36163298
>I was thinking we give the Sage class abilities at level 1 like being able to detect if an enemy is lying
That's rather impeding on the niche of the sensible guy.

>>36163220
>>36163321
Sounds good for me.

>>36163298
If you want, I can detail some games that are completely imbalanced by the presence of magician characters or equivalent.

>>36163321
17 would be a better TN to hit a mook. 20 is the average for attribute+skill+roll, but it's a bit too high for a starting character to reliably hit.

>>36163338
Hmm, good point. Maybe he gives the ability to somebody else?
I don't want magic to JUST be "Make somebody else better", though. Then Sages would be no fun to play.
>>36163358
I've played Pathfinder, thanks.

>>36163321
A small squad of mooks should be easy for a party of 3-5 to take out, but yeah 13 seems rather low. It should still be possible for a mook to actually hit a PC without extraordinary luck.

>>36163338

Boy, do I agree: that's totally a Sensible Guy thing.

>>36163358

Yeah, 20 it's just too high for a simple mook: Player Characters should be able to hit them a lot more reliably.

Since an average Player Character is going to have at least 10 in his main Attribute and +3 in the Skill he uses to deal Strikes, that means he can't go lower than 16.

Let's say 18? So, Attribute + Skill + 8? It would mean mooks always roll lower than average, but not too much. Sounds fitting for a mook.

>>36163298
No. Specifically because fuck you and fuck magic.

>>36163387
A magic user could do something like produce a flash of light in front of an enemy's eyes to force them to take a -2 on prevent harm checks for the next round or something.

>>36163298
>Second Wind
D&D fags go home.

>>36163444
I've acknowledged that it's a bad idea to give that ability. Idea withdrawn.
Still, what about the other suggestions? I'm particularly interested in peoples' opinions on Second Wind.
>>36163462
Okay, from now on I'm just going to ignore people who hate magic due to it being magic. We're in a Disney esetting. There's magic. Deal with it.
>>36163470
I like that idea. We should make that a thing.

>>36163482
>I'm particularly interested in peoples' opinions on Second Wind.
It sucks. D&D fag go away

>>36163481
>A thing has the same name as another thing, therefore it's a thing
If you meet a man called Adolf, will you accuse him of killing 6 million people?
>>36163499
And you're not even pretending not to samefag. Okay then. Troll acknowledged. Good job.

>>36163444
Mooks roll +8 to Strike on 3d6? Sounds good to me, it should be below the average person's Prevent Harm score. Their Defense (pre-rolled Prevent Harm) should also be 18.

>>36163470
Something like that, sure. Just... keep it in check, okay?

>>36163482
There is magic.
It's usually evil.
This is a setting in which the villains won.

Magic is usually evil in this universe.

Moreover, most characters are the heroes, not the fairy godmother or stern teacher type that usually has magic.


>>36163515
Mate, Second Wind is already really, really edging in on the Science skill's utility. Why does it need to exist?

>>36163481
>>36163499
Put you name back on, Nobody.

>>36156847
Saw this a few days a go, I really am impressed with all you guys have gotten done.
I want to make a character but I'm uncreative as fuck, anybody have suggestions?

>>36163551
>2 posts within 40 seconds of each other
Totally me.

>>36163538
What does the Science skill do again? Haven't really seen it. And it's mostly so everyone gets the chance to heal up during a particularly tough fight even if there's nobody with healing abilities in the party. Not to mention I thought being able to recover by reminding yourself of your friends and what you were fighting for definitely qualified as Disney As Fuck™.

>>36163482
I would also like for magic users to mainly have utility spells. Spells for combat should be very sparse, even at hero level.
Example: producing light from a smooth river stone for a couple hours, but after the spell wears off, the river stone crumbles.
Another example: Creating a bubble of breathable air around the head of one person in order to foil noxious gas or underwater areas. Higher level versions of this spell would grant a longer duration and the ability to cast it on the whole party at once.

>>36163565
A former member of the Catholic Inquisition - possibly a novice.

>>36163565
Saxophone playing alligator. Faerie pugilist. Trader from the Shadowlands who's cut off more than he can chew with the Friends. Sharpshooter from the Hunters Club who thinks the sport should be noble.

>>36163582
Science skill is detailed in full on 1d4chan, but basically you test Science against TN20 to remove one strike from an ally over a couple seconds.

>>36163597
>light from a river stone
this has the problem that the Light spell did in WHFRPG; It literally destroys the stone. Cast it on a stone wall and it crumbles after a few hours.

>Creating a bubble of air: Clever. I like it, but we'd need to balance it against the Cauldron mist or whatever.

>>36163538

>Mooks roll +8 to Strike on 3d6? Sounds good to me, it should be below the average person's Prevent Harm score. Their Defense (pre-rolled Prevent Harm) should also be 18.

No, I meant they add 8 to their Attribute + Skill when they Dod. . . when they Prevent Harm.

I think they should still roll when they attack, or a Player Character with enough defences could be literally immune to mooks.

>>36163582

Since Science includes Medicine, you can roll Science to make people regain Strikes while they are resting.

Remember that you can already recover Strikes by doing something cool and in character.

>>36163482
And what has magic done for the populous in the setting? Subjugated them to A THOUUUUUUUUSAND YEARS OF DAAAAAAARKNESS.

Even though there's plenty of things that are magic, the wizards and witches and people who use magic should be feared and have the light of suspicion cast ever upon them. Because the last time magic users got strong, all this shit happened.

Its not how it actually is from an OOC perspective but its easy to see why people in setting would treat magic users like radioactive leper cannibals who shoot lasers from their eyes. So, less a crunch problem more a fluff problem of why anyone would let magicky guys fix their obviously magicky guy problem.

>>36163551
Nah, Nobody isn't as much of a fag as the other guy. Don't get me wrong, he's a fag, but not THAT much of a fag.
>>36163597
Glad to see you and I agree.

>>36163597
Additionally, we should not punish people who choose to use their Smart Guy archetype for alchemy or tech use. They should all be perfectly viable but different in a few ways.

>>36163635
That's... literally exactly what I said. They have an automatic Prevent Harm score of 18 (the number to Strike them) and to strike the heroes they roll 3d6+8.

>>36163644
Gee, thanks for calling me a fag.

>>36163653
This is rapidly going to lead towards that, you realize. As one section of the class gets more options, it's inevitable that it becomes a better pick than the others.

>>36163635
Well, Science doesn't work in Combat, so I guess it works. Second Wind is partially intended for being the squishy one in a boss fight or a big encounter.
>>36163700
You're welcome. Fag.

>>36163620
Good point.

okay, then the spell requires a smooth stone from a river, but the stone turns rough after the spell has concluded. And on the air bubble, it has a chance of failing if exposed to magical gasses.

>>36163700

You made it sound as if I said that they should attack with 3d6 + 8, which is not what I said.

Mooks should attack with 3d6 + Attribute (7) + Skill (3). So, 3d6 + 10.

Remember that mooks don't usually get good shields, armors or weapons, so they don't get the physical bonuses a Player Character can get.

>>36163642
Right. If people get wind that you're a spellcaster it's possible you'll be lynched.

>>36163642
So people in the setting are all clones of Nob? I can dig it.

>>36163824
You're extremely bitter about this. Why do PCs need to be capable of magic? Alchemy is just fine.

>>36163821
Certain areas would probably be more tolerant of magic. For example, areas like the Shadowlands don't care and in Arendelle you do what you have to do to survive, but in the Grand Diocese you could get lynched for anything. They'll hang a guy if he coughs too loudly in public.

>>36163856
I'm not being bitter, dude. That was a joke.
Also, fluff it as alchemy if you want. I won't come over to your house and beat you until you call it magic, I promise. Beating won't be punishment enough to convince you.

>>36163860
Only if he does it heretically.

Hey guys, what's going on in this....

Fucking. Hell.

Stop feeding the fucking troll wizard, guys.

The system is done already, for fuck's sake. This one faggot comes in, starts some shit by insulting Nob and now look at this

For fuck's sake /tg/, you were supposed to be untrollable

>>36163824
Funny.

But no seriously, look at the setting. Jafar, Grimbitch, Faciliter, La, Tzekel-Kan , Ymza. Big name human assholes who are known for three things: Evil, ruling, MAGIC. Its not like its not obvious that the average joe-schmoe is gonna think 'ALL MAGIC = EVIL!!!!'

>>36163821
Possibly. Like a peril of the warp, only is the peril of getting lynched by the mob.

>>36163898
Look, alchemy is magic. It's just magic that requires a lot of reagents to get working AND it can directly benefit anyone in the party. Can we just leave it at alchemy and make the potions do cool things?

>>36163910
You are sorely mistaken. Conventional troll techniques are slightly ablated by our cynicism and love for fantastic worlds but all that does is open up a whole new category of specialized trolling.

>>36163910
How is including magic and laughing at Nob a troll? We've been laughing at Nob for ages. For Cherrybomb's sake, we made a parody of Hellfire about him. Besides, if the system is done, shouldn't we start working on the expansions? Like the one where we were going to add magic?
>>36163956
Then make alchemy a thing the Sage can do. Sounds good to me.
Ooh, maybe that's the only way a Sage can get blasty abilities: By taking about an hour to brew them in his downtime, and then sharing them among the party because he probably can't throw a firebomb for shit.

>>36163938
>Possibly. Like a peril of the warp, only is the peril of getting lynched by the mob.
>At the bottom of the sea, the PC's are in dire straits fighting against flotsam and jetsam
>Wizard rolls to maintain breathing bubbles on everyone because fuckers are too stuck up to be turned into mer-people/sea creatures
>Fails
>Suddenly diving bells drop all around the wizard with pitchforks and extinguished torches out
>Stab wizard then zip up back to the surface
>Full party wipe because no breathing

>>36164033

If you wanted to make it sound like a bad thing, you failed: that sounds awsome.

>>36164033
As is right. Using magic to survive at the bottom of the ocean as opposed to superior Atlantean sub-oceanic powered suits? What fools.

>>36163715
Also, I wanted Second Wind because otherwise we can't fit in healing without it turning into Strike removal/restoration, which is something we want to keep for later because getting a Strike should be a big deal, not something you can solve by chugging a health potion.

>>36164072
Yeah, Magic should definitely be worse than its alternatives. The Sage is around to give you a slightly inferior version of all the things you can't have, and to improve the things that you do have. If you don't have any money, he'll give you a dollar/euro/pound. Give him 20 pounds/dollars/euros, and he'll give you 50 back.

>>36158954
Laputa.

Shit now we know who Atlantis was fighting in the Antediluvian Period.

>>36164026

Laughing at him is one thing, in good fun alright. Some idiot up there though comes in and says h the guy that made 60% of the whole crunch is holding the project back, that's a troll if I've ever seeb one.

Besides, seriously, magic was ruled out before. By fucking pools, too. Heroes don't use magic in Disney, and Elsa was a villain originally

>>36164207
Also, heroes generally aren't part of adventuring parties of more than one or two guys in Disney either, with exceptions. They almost always have a single clear protagonist and his sidekicks, which is not the kind of party dynamic we want to encourage. It's already clear that our characters won't be exactly like the protagonists of Disney movies. Besides, why shouldn't the wise old man who gives the hero his magic items and tells him to trust in his heart or something go along with him?

> Give him 20 pounds/dollars/euros, and he'll give you 50 back.
See? MAGIC IS RUINING OUR ECONOMY!

>The directions provided by your new friend the fat fairy, Whisky or Mar-Teeny or whatever her name is, seem to prove accurate despite the magical creature's constant state of inebriation.

>You once more pick up the She-Beast's trail, a careful path with much subtler tells than a creature of its size should have left through a forest this dense.

>The tales of the villagers you'd collected along your trip come back to you that night as you sit beside the campfire, the fairy already snoring louder than you thought possible.

>This whole expedition has troubled you from the beginning. Gaston's insistence in you hunting the Beast that had scarred him, all those stories, the trail you followed now.

>Deep in your but, you know this is no mere animal you're hunting. There's intelligence there, and a game being played that you don't yet understand.

>But you will soon. You're getting close.

>Tomorrow, the hunt continues.

so, just checking, is the game in fact ready to go right now?

>>36164340
Yes, except it turns back into a twenty either when he dies or after a certain time. Or when he loses concentration. Or when you get too far away from him.

>>36164376
It's in alpha. You could feasibly play a game with it, though we really ought to stat the various bosses and mooks before we ship, so to speak.

We need anything else written up, fluffwise/ mild crunchwise? I'm kinda motivated to do a KLR for The Firebird, if no one else has addressed it.

>>36164376
Pretty much. We don't have anything more than generic mook stats for enemies, so you'll have to do some statting if you want anything more impressive than that to show up. It should be ready for playtesting, at least

>>36164376

It's an alpha, but in theory yes. We just need some playtesting to be done to see if it really is balanced

>>36164418
Sure, but I can't imagine that the Firebird's KLR would be that that complex.
>King: It's made of fire
>Land: Shit's on fire
>Rule: You're on fire

Ask back later; we're having an 'engineering dispute'.

>>36164418

I feel like any additional fluff is probably welcome, KLRs especially. I've just been puttering around with this "Hunting Belle the Beast" nonsense, which I'll finish up tonight and move onto another bit of fluff.

>>36164473
He doesn't really rule so much as exist as a force of nature.

So, to compile a list of all the spells (I'll treat them as class powers for the Sage) we've come up with so far:
>Give +1 defense on touch (Nobody said it was a bad idea)
>The second wind thing, if we implement that
>Blind an enemy with light to give them a -2 on Prevent Harm checks
>Create light from a stone, said stone is then destroyed
>Create bubbles of oxygen for underwater areas
Nobody, do these sound okay to you? I'll let you help with statting them since that way you can keep an eye on us suspicious wizard types.

Well ain't you just a smarmy little bitch.

So what's the status on the IRC/roll20 playtest game we planned?
By the way, I'm writing a fuckton of songs for general usage. None of them are based off of current Disney songs. I've gotta walk my dog and attend to real life, but I'll have them posted before the end of the night.

>>36164718
Well, it's that or we just let everyone complain about how magic is unbalanced. If the biggest magic-hater in the thread is helping us balance it, you know it won't be OP. If anything, it could be UP.

>>36164690
Somewhere in Frollo's Paris, preferably after its suspicion towards magic is made clear, the players should find a book

"How to Cast Spells so that Nobody Dissapproves"

Have we made a decision on Skill Check levels?

10 - Easy
15 - Average
20 - Tricky
25 - Hard
30 - Impossible

Is that good, or do we need to par it down?

Well, since we can probably assume Muska's expedition never happened, Laputa is just sitting there doing fuck all like it has since the War of the Flood. Roarke kind of fills in Muska's character motivations anyway.

And besides, it makes sense. One power with absolute dominance of the sea fights a purely air power. Their folly wakes up something…dark.

But yeah, probably a splat problem.

>>36164784
The word 'Don't' is printed in size 72 type on every page in a wide and interesting variety of fonts.

>>36164784
Better that than we don't get anything done because nobody will stop yelling about magic being unbalanced. Not to mention, it's not getting added if nobody else wants it anyway. Which is why opinions on these spells/powers/whatever you want to call them would be useful.

>>36164473
Come now, things can be so much more interesting:

King: The Firebird is the living (though some contest that the beast truly lives) avatar of nature's fury and power. A great bird, formed of lava, smoke, ash, and flame, it serves one purpose: the destruction of all it can reach. When it has spent its fury and power, it slumbers, for weeks, months, decades some times. But it always awakens again.

Some characterize the beast as evil, but this is a flawed judgment: destruction is the first basis for creation, as many young heroes would be wise to note. How else can good grow in this world if the Evil is not laid low? All things in nature grow, and all things in nature die. The Firebird is the bringer of that death.

Some theorize that this mission is the reason the Firebird's awakenings grow more frequent and violent over time: In a land filled with sorcerors, gods, and undead, the Earth is screaming in fury that these beings will not lay dead, as is the natural order. Savvy (and incredibly brave heroes) might be able to direct the Firebird's fury at such powers.

Lands: Many think of the Firebird's lands as a scorched, burning wasteland. And that is true, for a time. But those who think they STAY that way forget the old maxim: nature abhors a vacuum. Indeed, there are a wide variety of plants who only grow after they are burned, and wood ash is a strong fertilizer. Within months of the Firebird returning to sleep, his lands are verdant and rich again. There are a very few foolhardy souls who live in these lands, and some that seek to profit from them: That same ash is a powerful alchemical regeant. Ash-Rakers spend their lives living as close to the 'burn zone' as they dare, and rushing in when things seem calm to make their fortune.

Second wind still horns in on Science. Not sure if it should be included or not.

+1 defense on touch is okay.
Blinding an enemy is likely okay.
Bubbles of oxygen is okay but it needs a chance of failing before magical gases, cauldron mist, etc.
Light is actually a bit underpowered. Just enchanting a held object to glow for a few hours should be okay.
But I do have to agree with >>36164718; I'm not the sole arbitrator of what's fair. Don't cast off everyone else's opinions just because I think it's fair. I've been wrong before.

Also; we need to be very, very careful about how we implement magic; we don't want the technician and alchemist subclasses to never get picked because Sages have so many potential options.

>splat problems
My god, my head is hurting thinking about how many splats we're gonna need to write. So far we have at least:
>Magic, good and bad
>Villains of the future
>High seas villainy
>Ghibli madness
>Dreamworks madness
and that's off the top of my head.

Target Number 20: an average problem for a Player Character. Challenging.

Target Number 25: something that would give a Player Character pause. Tough.

Target Number 30: a big ducking deal, even for a Player Character. Hard.

>>36164814
Maybe the dark thing was the giant walking nuclear allegories from Naussica? Or if we didn't want to bring in a third thing they could've just woken up Chernobyl with the fighting and Atlantis attempting to crystal-nuke him was what cause the flood

>>36164859
All the stuff but Second Wind are ok.

>>36164800
I think there are enough bonuses available to characters that those numbers don't need to be brought down. It's impossible to do anything over average with just 3d6 and no skill bonuses, which makes sense. Should be good for alpha.

>>36164880
Why make them subclasses? We could just refluff spells.
>+1 Defense: Force field
>Blinding: Flashbang
>Bubbles: Temporary gas masks
Also, remember that you still need to roll for Second Wind to work. Science is a lot more reliable at doing what it does, but can't be done in combat, I think.
