Hey Blackblade, if you've got spare time, fancy having a look at my breakdown of color pie for sex.

It's here >>227097 and if nothing else I figure it might give you a chuckle. Normally I wouldn't ask in another thread, but how the fuck else are you able to get a hold of a specific person on a site like this.

So the seven sins plus despair for the Archdukes, hm? Let's see…

- Bel: Gluttony (because he wants more powers, to rise higher and become more)

- Dispater: Sloth (because he sits on his ass all day working through others)

- Mammon: Greed

- Belial: Lust (because incest)

- Levistus: Envy (because he's not a devil, he's locked away, he wants things that others have like Glasya and her mom)

- Glasya: Wrath (because piss her off and she'll fuck your shit up like your shit's never been fucked up before)

- Baalzebul: Pride

- Mephistopheles: Despair

>>228153

I think the seven sins are more Abyssal things (hell, it's even confirmed in Dragon 353). The Archdukes are more obsessions, certain patterns (we're talking about Law here) that drives people to do evil shit.

> Mephistopheles? Obsessed with knowledge.

> Baalzebul? Obsessed with perfection.

> Dispater? Obsessed with keeping power.

And so on.

I'm actually working on a Dark Souls/Bloodborne system based on the Fallout SPECIAL system.

Having a pool of stamina points that you spend to attack or dodge, a static Sequence, and so on.

Currently trying to figure out how to get my magic system to have reasonable difficulty across the board.

The system runs on attribute + skill + 3d6, with both attributes and skills being 1 to 10. Magic comes in 6 difficulty levels and 10 power levels: the maximum level of power is limited by the skill in a particular kind of magic. You can buy up to 3 specializations at levels 3, 6 and 9 and 3 masteries at 4, 7 and 10 that apply to particular ways of using spells, so you can have up to a +6 bonus at level 10.

I got two possible ways of doings this going on. One is (3D)+P+10, with D being difficulty and P being power. This means the lowest roll at 1 difficulty and power being 14; each increase of power raises difficulty by 1 and an increase of difficulty adds 3. This means that at low levels you have a decent shot at making the roll, but at higher levels it's all but trivial, with difficulty 4 magic at power level 10 requiring you to roll a 12 without taking a specialization or anything. But the highest difficulty of magic becomes all but impossible to cast: you'll need a nat 18 to cast difficulty 3 at level 1, difficulty 4 at level 3, difficulty 5 at level 5 and difficulty 6 at level 7.

The other way to do this is (3P)+(2D). This means at the lowest levels magic is very easy to cast (starts at 5, with each power increase raises the target with 3 and each difficulty increase raises the target by 2), but magic becoming quite a lot more difficult. This means that 10P 6D magic takes a 42, meaning you have to roll a 16 or more, which has a chance of 10 in 216, which is next to nothing. I might add other ways to make actually casting magic easier (maybe something with magic implements or something), but I don't know about this just yet.

The mana system on the other hand will be a lot simpler: your mana points are your Magic attribute times your Attunement skill (which is pretty much for mana only) times three, meaning you have a total of up to 300 points to spend. If you want to restore your points you gotta take a good night's rest.

1.) The money people make in universe versus what PCs get is fucked from a narrative standpoint

2.) Their backstory has jack and shit to do with any of the campaign, far as I can tell, much like pretty much everything else in NPC backstories. They are just there for the GM to use to know who they are dealing with and the PCs will never have to know.

>>227458

The Queen of Cheliax is indeed a woman, and the series does have its fair share of male and female villains.

Though there is a literal demon lord of misogyny in the setting. He came from a barbarian tribe that treated women like property and got screwed over in a deal by Baba Yaga, so he hates all women now.

>>227506

You seem a bit retarded on the matter but let me help you out with that.

No, lust is good as it leads to children but excess lust is what is frowns on. All the sins are good in small doses like pride or righteous wrath but an excess is what is wrong. Also if we are talking about Christian angels and demons you realize that they take on a human form when dealing with humans, what they actually look like is far different than human. Hell most of them have four heads and six wings.

No, Christianity had nothing to do with SJW ideals and your current view on Christian values is laughable and reddit tier at best.

A quick run down of the values:

Faith is belief in the right things

Hope is taking a positive future view, that good will prevail.

Charity is concern for, and active helping of, others.

Fortitude is never giving up.

Justice is being fair and equitable with others.

Prudence is care of and moderation with money.

Temperance is moderation of needed things and abstinence from things which are not needed.

I hope this clears things up for you and you be less retarded in the future.

>>227506

>I'm applying basic common sense logic…?

>iconics and select NPCs only

>literally every named character in the setting

no logic here.

you distinctly stated "So yeah everyone in the setting" >>227363

Yes, the setting heroes, being blank slates, are bisexual as are a couple of NPCs

they do NOT comprise 100%, or even 5%, of everyone in the setting

let's refine that: even when you eliminate unimportant NPCs such as the dozen or so named shopkeeps in a given adventure, the bisexual, homosexual, or otherwise sexually deviant characters don't even comprise a number equal to or greater than 5% of important characters

therefore your logic is flawed and your statement is at best smug assholery

>Mage: Dark Ages

I'm going to imagine I'm emulating some good shit, though.

>>225685

M:DA takes place in the oWoD (so same cosmology as Vampire: the Masquerade) during the Dark Ages and the days of early Renaissance. The players take on the role of the aforementioned Mages - a bunch of reality warpers locked in a secret war over the fate of the whole world. This includes the ancient Order of Hermes (your stereotypical wizard, except with insane cutthroat politics thrown in), the various pagan spellcasters (who're perfectly capable of calling down Odin on your ass), or the Church (who're capable of working miracles and other acts of faith - and which also includes the Inquisition).

Besides fighting each other over whose idea of how the world should run is the best one, they fight infernalists, demon worshippers, vampires, werewolves, the fae and other eldritch horrors. They do it with sword and sorcery, by forging fates of Kings and Heroes (Merlin is around, and he's one of the Mages overlooking King Arthur - and yes, the Arthurian myth is real here), or by invigorating the masses to do heroic shit and fight the oncoming darkness.

One of the newer Mage groups that appeared near the beginning of the Renaissance are the Order of Reason. These guys were tired of their fellow Mages ruling as sorcerer overlords, of vampires ruling entire kingdoms from the shadows, and of people generally being piss poor and sick and starving. So they banded together, and used technology and the Consensus (the subconscious magic field that every human has - think the WAAAGH from 40K except capable of rewriting reality) to wipe out vampires, demons and other horrors from the face of the Earth.

Of course, since they're still young, they haven't managed to accomplish their goals yet. So your idea of a bunch of Dark Ages / Renaissance men fighting tooth and nail for a better future of mankind from the shadows really reminded me of that.

Oh yeah, and the Order of Reason? These guys became later known as the Technocracy and are behind every banking plot, government scheme, vaccination conspiracy theory and all sorts of Orwellian bullshit going on in the World of Darkness. They wPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I'd say you are. The WHRPG had witch hunters wandering the land, destroying the taint of chaos wherever they found it. That was their main purpose, but the Templars of Sigmar also went after the undead whenever they started acting up. The Witch Hunters are grim people, but dedicated to stopping the all devouring hordes of Chaos lest they destroy the world.

The Vampire sourcebook also made hunters who specialized in hunting the undead playable. Unlike the Templars, these sorts are mostly just crazy people.

>>225799

Well, I'll take that as a good thing! If I'm emulating ideas (although to be fair, the idea of monster-hunting for the safety of the populace is fairly…broad and popular), at least I'm emulating good stuff.

>cloning exists

Why don't they just clone space marines? Or the emperor?

>>227691

see >>227256

And the Emperor is what he is because he is a fusion of the souls of tons of ancient shamans. You wouldn't get to replicate that by cloning him.

>>227683

Fuck, I keep forgetting how slow /tg/ is, I need to start checking dates

>>227659

Yeah but that's what I said Abaddon has a reason, a purely selfish one.

Which is why he should be told to fuck off by the chaos gods (roughly like what happened to Magnus after the whole rubrik marines thing).

It doesn't happens because that's a lore can of worms.

The whole thing is a pretext to explain "The Emp killed Horus, for good, yeah sure chaos tried to resurrect him any way they could, but even that failed".

>What they could, and really should do though, is cloning or otherwise using genetic manipulation and eugenics to mass produce recruits that they know will have a maximum chance to survive the marine creation process.

Some of the lore said that about 30k era space marines. But that they stopped because somehow they were heresy prone.

>Palace of the Sorcerer-Prince

With but a single use of this invocation, the theurge calls forth a luxuriantly- appointed tower or similar structure, one capable of housing up to a hundred inhabitants in comfort. The palace is appointed with dozens of conjured servitors, concubines, and laborers, albeit none are capable of fighting. The tower is sealed against entry by any save the theurge and their chosen guests, though seige weapons or powerful magic can break through the walls and steel-hard windows of tinted glass.The tower naturally creates sufficient food, drink, and other common necessities to serve a hundred guests indefinitely. If taken from the tower, however, these viands crumble away in moments. So too the servitors if they are forced to leave its walls; they know this and will beg piteously to be spared such a death. Some theurges are said to have fashioned favored servants bodies in which to truly exist. The palace may be conjured anywhere there is sufficient relatively flat ground to support it and may be dispelled at the caster’s whim. Any foreign objects or persons left within the tower when it is dispelled will appear on the ground where it once stood, though the caster’s personal possessions may be left stored within whatever timeless pocket realm the tower goes to when it is dispelled. A theurge may have only one palace standing at any one time.

>dozens of them

Anyone ever look through the generators for this yet? Used it to generate a Ruin for a one-shot game I ran tonight in a different system and it worked very well.

>>225082

I figured you wouldn't want to do the opposed roll thingy. I was just throwing it out there anyways. Doesn't mean you can't use the hybrid dice pool idea though, if you like that, along with the ideas for non-direct attacks, flanking and more maneuvers.

For your starvation rules, I like the basics of what you got. Keeping it simpler feels better for a system like this. Like you noted, the issue seems to be with wording, as its a bit confusing, and doesn't really take into account you managing to get enough food to feed some of your starving people, but not all of them. Firstly, I'd remove the "If your settlement is left with 0 or less food at the end of the next month, the people in the “Starving” column die, and your population is reduced by that number" bit, and replace it with "At the end of the next month, tally up your food for your normal population, minus the people in the starving column. Then, if you have excess food, for every unit of excess you have, remove a person from the starving column. Then, any people left within the column are killed from starvation - reduce your population by that number. If you do not have any excess, or in fact are in the deficit once again, everyone in the starvation column is killed from starvation, removing them from your population. Then, determine whether or not more of your population goes into the starvation column." Or something to that effect.

I imagine you could make that more concise and less confusing, but do you get the idea? Also, you probably already know, but you don't actually have a starvation column on the settlement sheet.

>>225082

Also, the mass battle rules being similar the Pathfinder is kind of funny, since I really hate Pathfinder (all d20 systems really), and I was basically recommending a very simplified version of the mass battle rules I'm using for my own system.

>>225102

That's better wording, thank you. It's still a tiny bit confusing but you at least put the right way of phrasing it in my head. I hope to do a playtest within the month and that will the be the acid test of how well it works.

>>225103

PF's mass battle system, in a nutshell, is basically "figure out hit points by multiplying CR and number of dudes except through some formula," then "opposed d20 rolls, and the MoS on the winner determines the casualties for the loser in "army hit points" which are removed then you go again". It's actually pretty cool but your idea is better because larger combats will be less swingy, smalelr ones will.

>>225276

Yeah, it would seem the main problem with the PF system is that there's no way for armies to damage each other at the same time, which is possible in the thing I recommended above. Anyways, keep on keepin' on. Just ask if you need more help, I'm looking forward to running a session with some of my group.

bump to keep this alive while I work on stuff.
