You will not stop me, not now!

I am the bone of my Fist,
Calcium is my body and milk is my blood.
I have been raised over a thousand times.
Unknown to Death, nor known to Life.
Have withstood criticism to make many bone puns.
Yet these puns will never be humerus.
So as I pray, Unlimited Bone Works.

I always wanted to play a skeleton necromancer PC character in pathfinder or DnD, but my DMs always just say no, there can't be an intelligent skeleton.
>>
>>46249349

Tell them their own skeletons are smart enough to cart their fat asses around, so why the fuck not?

>>46249349
There are multiple skeletal undead that are intelligent.

obitu is a race, its a kind of parasite that lives inside undead skeletons. they are living creatures.

Why is /tg/ so obsessed with skeletons?
>>
>>46252926
They are everything we want to be.

Skeletons had cast off all the superfluous features.
They are not subject to the whims of flesh and everything that comes with it. They do not fear death, and they don't need to struggle for survival.

Skeleton is basically a perfect creature. Regardless of your race, sex, age, species - when you die there can only be two things left - either nothing at all, or a skeleton.

All skeletons are created equal, because all are equal before the face of death.

Skeletons can still be destroyed, because they are a physical object, but they are as close as we can come to perfection without shedding physical form entirely and ascending.

In the words of Eric Idle, "And that's death".

My love of skeletons came back to bite me, it is what got me to start reading this book series, and while it starts off good it turns into some terrible stuff with anime-tier power level bullshit and horrible characters taking over the plot including multiple evil dopplegangers or evil superpowered alternate personalities of the teenage girl main character (she also cheats on her boyfriend with a vampire just to set up a number of easy jokes at Twilight).

No, thats a pretty good place to end things, the stuff I mentioned comes later as he tries to escalate his escalations.

You do realise that a human skeleton isn't a monolithic piece that's as dense as the densest part of the densest bone, right? A human adult should be able to hold the skeleton down with minimal effort and quite literally pick it apart.

Continue to play with this group to this day. my insistence on skeletons is a small benign tumor compared to the cancer that I cut out, so they humor me, prolly because each of my skeletons don't have a boring bone in their bodies, unless the setting needs a straight man.

Good shit skelebro, you're an inspiration to us all.

Playing an undercover necromancer in a current game with a skeleton companion named Morte. Maxed Disguise and Bluff and keep him constantly in armor and robes, then it turns out our adventure starts with the boat we're on sinking as an old man lobs a bunch of water breathing potions at us. I chug one as time runs out, Morte just jumps right in since I thought they were limited duration and wanted to keep mine just in case.
>"Wait hold on" OOC stares from most of the table
>"He'll be fiiiine, I'm a wizard remember?"
>thank fuck for new players
>other exploits involve riding on Morte's shoulders across a field of leeches
>mostly just a lot of hiding in the inn while the other players meet the fancy higher-ups since I'm paranoid they'll have detect evil or detect undead shit set up

Really early in the campaign though so not many chances to do anything cool yet, and it'll probably go nowhere. I wanna save the concept though, a guy who animated the corpse of his best bro because bro claimed he'd always get his back, and wanted to make sure he held up his end of the bargain.

Nope, that completely voluntary and has in universe justification.

The MC and his father have special back muscles that look like demon face and grant them special powers.

Also, demon faces in the folds of the brain, with much the same effects.
>>
I played in a homebrew setting once where there was an insular undead nation, that didn't have much contact with the outside world.

The DM let me play the skeleton 'daughter' of the king, who ran away to the real world, because that's what princesses who are kept in confinement do.

She basically wore the full burqa with a veil, but was completely oblivious to people hating the undead. She was doing it to protect her royal identity. When the truth finally came out, she thought the party was making a big deal because she was a runaway princess.

Only the party fighter cared. He was constantly asking others "Does anyone not notice this?!" because like... Innkeepers would discover her identity, scream, and he'd come bursting in, but they'd be gushing about her colour of lipstick, not fearful.

So many stories.

Werewolves aren't immune to poisons, bile, suffocating, bleeding, old age and magical-realming. Werewolves are usually too wolfy to use tools and armor. Skellie beats it.

Baki does anatomy weird a lot of the time, yes. But that picture is justified. A character is perfecting a whip-like punch that breaks the sound barrier, and was told to visualize his skeleton as being entirely made of joints.

For those of you that do want to get into hookah smoking, its not that expesnive after the initial investment. as long as you get a glass pot and metal stems theres a serious price/performance plateau. buy natural coals unless you aboslutely cant findthem in your area, and al fahker is by far the best brand ingredient quality wise, the other oes use american artificial bullshit at almost double the price.

It's by and large the most cost efficient way to get nicotine in the home, besides vaping, but vaping is for fags. it's also the most pleasurable and social. I'm spening maybe a quarter of what I was on cigarettes, and provided you use natural flavorings and coals it poses lower health risks than anything but swedish Snus.

I had a game idea in a dream a few months ago. Skeleton knights! Immortal warriors whose sole mission in undeath is to keep mortals safe from the Angels of Destruction, hell bent on laying the works of men to waste before resetting mankind to the gilded cage of Eden, in ignorance of their own great accomplishments.

What system would be good for this? I was thinking low sci-fi or cyberpunk era wise to give the Skeleton Knights a degree of culture shock, since they're primarily drawn from the ranks of actual knights or other ancient warriors who catch the eyes of the Old Gods and Lucifer.
>>
>>46303637
glad to know my dream hauntings bore some productive fruit. when in doubt, use gurps core with max 5 supplement books. I'd go with low magic medieval fantasy or a metal gear solid clone for setting remember to ban PC high magic use tho.

How the hell can GURPS account for all the shit they just did in that ship? I love stories like this, but I'm at a loss to understand how all this stuff can be accounted for and how the players would even know about any of it.

Gurps can work with pretty much anything, granted less efficiently at times, it offloads more respnsibility onto the DM though. admittely we use a lil bit of fiat, bit of jerry rigging by me and the DM to get everything working
we treat the systems like creatures with certain treatments and have a homebrew system add on that makes space stuff quite a bit simpler than the books ou'd have to use to get this level of sci fi dickery working. this is an experienced group that I saved from a that guy, they knew how to RP outside of D20 before I ever showed up, which helps

operate vehicle [spaceship]
repair etc
>>
>>46304645
I started out in some weird version of homerule 3.5 where everything was allowed while nothing was allowed and didn't even know anything was wrong til I looked into DMing it myself. Living in the deep South I only get to play online, so my experience is pretty limited to 3.5 and 5e with a dash of M&M and recently from FATE. Have yet to get to try GURPs, but every GURPs story I read has all these crazy details that seem like it'd be impossible to spec into and not run out of points. If it's just flavor-texting a catch-all "operate vehicle" skill that's understandable, but kind of disappointing...
>>
>>46304712
im assuming the pilot has a specialized operate vehicle and specialized profession skill. gurps stuff is split into things any chucklefuck can do and stuff you need a professional for,
so Bounty hunter prolly has artillery or military training. AI is probably all in o compter skeelz and storytime PC is likely invested heavily in science and repair skills. find a pdf for core rulebook and take a look, its actually a very functional and modular system
