there might be an argument that it's actually skewed the other way, depending on how people feel about shit like war caster
shoutout to war caster, with most people not knowing how s/m works war caster getting abused to fuck
"If you don't like T2K for mechanical reasons, I would recommend BRP. The percentage rolls really help evoke the tactile nature of STALKER"
what the fuck lol
astarion rolled way better stats this run
maybe he can hit stuff this time, too xD
did psychic damage to myself typing this out so now you all have to read it too
ngl this is the second time i've run bg3 loosely as a ttrpg and i'm still not entirely sure how to run korrilla as an interesting side npc
hilarious how she can be used as a deus ex machina if you really bungle it in-game tho
also not sure how i feel about college of dance bard
it's a real good subclass but some of the stuff is some real non-synergistic stinkers you might have to multiclass to get benefits from
still unarmored defense is so good that the rest of dazzling footwork doesn't matter xD
tandem footwork has made it so even if i roll like shit across the board i only roll Half Like Shit TM
grossly op shit you get at level 6
you're not really a monk tho (which is fine, since your ba is to hand out inspiration like candy anyway)
but if you ever make it to steel wind strike things will probably be great
i am 9000% convinced that no one just played from the phb because this is the worst fucking thing
i bet this is like every other old ass rpg where the splatbooks offer some incredible boost to power that just breaks the core systems apart
i can't even cast cure light wounds man
that shit is level 5
so is 1-4 just the worst fucking dice lottery
i am told 13th age is made by 3.5/4e people, but presumably more "modern"
might leaf through that
not wanting a pc to die because you like them: ❌
not wanting a pc to die because you hate rolling new pcs in mythras 2e: ✅
the real power of hirelings/henchmen/npcs in this game is to avoid having to look up a bunch of skill stats
"no, YOU go first"
my dice absolutely know the genre of the games i'm playing
mythras: "yeah sure you intercept that guy in the tavern and clock him in the head with a tankard, no problemo"
delta green: "no, actually your graduate degree in computer science means you don't know what a keyboard is"
mister mittens is a grumpy old white cat but the cat emoji i used is an orange cat so i imagine him as an orange tabby
gaslit myself
wait mongoose released a new campaign thing? every publisher notifies me when shit comes out, like a dozen times per thing
mongoose just like "haha yeah whatever man"
i would add that my only mild regret is that i set the star wars universe in-game date to about 4000 years bby so i don't have krogan charging entire stormtrooper barracks or some shit
but i got sith and mandalorians out the ass, so
can you believe going back in time and being like "ahhh, the first jedi purge"
the jedi: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE FIRST"
"You get one success for every 2 or 4 rolled and two successes for every 6 rolled."
what the fuck lol
not sure how much i like resolve in prowlers and paragons
also i need every point buy system to stop doing the colorblind gurps thing it's weird
it does seem to have a good spread of low/high tier play with their point buy system and just rolling dice pools of whatever trait, as opposed to other less bound systems that have you add a characteristic + a skill design
also appreciate how even though it's emulating high powered supers it nods at heroes being able to die and it's not hard to weld on top of
lower tiers because it's too strong: ❌
lower tiers so you don't have to roll as many dice: ✅
protip for people who make tables for rpgs
number them even if you don't intend for people to roll on them, because someone will probably want to roll on them
