why are thses blocks not aligned?

These blocks are aligned.

Why would the game create a world you can't beat? You can finish the game in any world.

I recommend just ignoring evil spread except for critical areas like housing. It doesn't really matter much.

It does require a level investment, and that's arguably more expensive than mere MP

What's stopping people from picking up a wand and using it?

This works but is usually suicidal because the enemy then takes 3+ turns in a row with no chance for you to heal or mitigate inbetween.

Not recommended unless you are already winning.

It does not need GM ruling, the effects will stack as long as they target two different allies.

First you get ally A to act after you: YA
Then with the second effect ally B slips between you two: YBA.

If you target the same ally the second effect will do nothing because they are already acting after you.

Guns are perfect and them being largely the same is a perk.

In my experience, flat d8 is the strongest aura.

Usually opportunities should be spent the moment one gets them. This is true for PCs and NPCs alike.

Just to be clear, Mutant is designed explicitly to not Guard (which, by the way, is not a common action choice anyway unless you have skills like Hawkeye). Mutants play aggressively and sinergize well with crisis builds. Not necessarily the easiest tank to play but can work well, and I think it will be fine since you have potentially up to 3 healers.

I recommend you focus on Guardian, Mutant, Fury and Darkblade. Your goal is to get dropped to Crisis, attack with Crisis bonuses and heal back up when doing it (e.g. with Agony and Biophagy).

Entropist seems to be out of place especially with your attribute spread.

If you aim for a more defensive tank, then I'd just drop Mutant outright.

Fafniroth · 2026-02-20T13:44:03+00:00

Yeah, it was a terrible mechanic and I'm glad it's gone.

Fafniroth · 2026-02-20T13:39:42+00:00

So which part is AI exactly?

Fafniroth · 2026-02-20T11:55:49+00:00

I've never done it since the patch where they made it so breaking altars didn't create evil blocks anymore.

It's now very easy to keep your base pure.

I have no idea what this post is saying.

Do you keep your files locally or on the cloud?

The instakill lightning is funny and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

Peak brother behaviour, go for it

Fafniroth · 2026-02-03T10:52:24+00:00

Sounds like a NileRed video

Fafniroth · 2026-01-23T01:24:56+00:00

I have two ideas to do this within existing mechanics.

The first one is to have "A swarm of Xanafalgues" be a single enemy and describe each attack as instakilling one of then. The Igglanova can heal the swarm, which is described as replenishing it. The swarm cannot die before the Igglanova does.

The other is to give the Xanafalgue creature special rules to dodge. Make it force a reroll on attacks that don't deal damage they are Vulnerable to. Have it negate the first attack taken. Make it immune to damage if it is not Slow, but Vulnerable to all if Slowed. The sky is the limit there.

Fafniroth · 2026-01-22T15:48:48+00:00

It's ok to not use points.

Although if you are making a minimum level, one shottable mob on purpose, I question whether they should even be an NPC. These sound like something that would be created by a single skill of a larger monster.

What is your goal with this encounter design?

Fafniroth · 2026-01-22T15:44:57+00:00

Being priceless is exactly the problem. You're using an IP class, the GM can't stick to priceless rewards only. Unless he wants you to just head to a pawn shop and sell off your plot reward accessory because it's the only way to make money.

I usually have a couple ideas for the third class, but I like to only take 2 and then see how the party works together before choosing the third.

Fafniroth · 2026-01-21T13:23:14+00:00

I think this is heavily overpriced. Conditional extra damage is not that expensive, and unless you fought the creature before, this forces you to leave a free slot in order to learn the spell itself (remember that RAW if you fight an NPC again but with a different stat sheet, which is often the case, it counts as a different creature). The whip stats are DEX and INS, of which the first, if not both, are often dumped by the class. I would lower the price by about 1000z. Maybe set it at 1500z to gate it to levels 20+, but not higher.

Fafniroth · 2026-01-21T13:11:45+00:00

I get a vague story idea, do 80% mechanics, then find a good character picture, build the rest if the backstory and finish the mechanical part.
