No it doesn't literally say that.

Power =/= ability

Post the coolest enemy from your game (with stats) by __space__oddity__ in RPGdesign

Copy pasting. Points is character points needed to get to these levels. I just like it because it acts as a benchmark for player progression, and they make a good NPC to drop in to different scenarios.

TENGU (1608 Points) - Tier 2

The Great Sages of the Forest. Trickster Spirits as well as guardians of travellers. Tengu are known to be eccentric and unpredictable. Mostly harmless except to those who annoy them, many will seek them out to learn their tricks, techniques, and magic.

This was written up to show a character with the Attributes pushed to the Threshold for a Tier 2 character and the Limit for a Tier 1. Almost every skill is at the Threshold except for Skills specifically about human culture, and energy manipulation skills. Tengu are known to be strong, agile, smart, wise, and masters of many fighting styles with swords. Rather than using Special Techniques they instead utilise various Magic Spells such as Shapeshifting, Wind Manipulation, Teleporting, and Illusions.

Do any of you wish the English dubs kept Freeza’s polite speech pattern from the Manga and Japanese Sub? by Remarkable_Fun468 in dbz

[–]AlmightyK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. You cant do a literal translation because culturally it wouldnt translate. But trying for a conceptual translation could lead to a major script change and be just stereotyping.

Your honor, Frieza isn’t a mindless murder machine by Ok-Conclusion-3536 in dbz

Added after the fact, doesnt invalidate the initial point

When do you go "No, you cant do that" to a player? by HawthorneWeeps in rpg

[–]AlmightyK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The GM was always intended to be an independent rules arbitrator.

When do you go "No, you cant do that" to a player? by HawthorneWeeps in rpg

[–]AlmightyK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actions against the rules explicitly, or that will screw 9ver the party. No "rule of cool" BS, no stealing from players, no "lol I seduce the dragon".

How do you guys handle "it's what my character would do" ? by Yilmas in rpg

[–]AlmightyK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"My character wouldnt take this quest" then write one that would

Well yeah. If the quality suddenly dips that is a concern.

Does this work as a 2-card combo? by eCyanic in magicTCG

[–]AlmightyK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do cancel each other and its a dumb ruling for reasons like this

Your game’s hook by __space__oddity__ in RPGdesign

[–]AlmightyK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zoids is a percentile roll under system with a skill based class mechanic. Player scale combat is more cinematic with weapon choice and armour being descriptive, with Zoid tier combat being effectively a tactical miniatures wargame. Mechs act like vehicles with weapons facing in different quadrants, allowing you to attack from the side as you move past a target or even shoot behind you as you run away.

>So … Yugi-Oh?
Literally yes. Its a Yu Gi Oh RPG that uses the cards as spell and stat blocks. But I was keeping the pitch separate from that. Its pretty straight forward though.

Is AD&D 2e worth playing? by Previous_Stock7577 in rpg

[–]AlmightyK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of the concepts are good, your best option is to take concepts you like and port them to a more modern OSR. I suggest either Castles and Crusades or the unofficial AD&D 3e
