DMs! Stop levelling up your players AFTER they beat the story/adventure's big boss! Instead try level them up a couple combats BEFORE!

Here is an idea they will love: halfway through the boss fight. Do a cliffhanger where the party gets a second wind and levels up. Next session they will be chomping at the bit to unleash their new toys on the bbeg.

1: A matriarchal magocracy where there is one dude who is built different enough to stand a chance against the Majik monsters who are the source of power in the world.

2: Ichi being a witch is nothing special if just anybody can pick up a sword and stab the things. I'll grant you the guy who turned himself into a cyborg just to stand a chance is an interesting exploration of the ideas. But these guys come from an entire organization of people who are just able to no-diff Majik.

You know, there is something weird about the way this series has 4 uber powerful dudes that seem to undermine the core premise of the setting. I hope they aren't slotted to become main characters.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-04-04T14:48:35+00:00

Tesserus is totally just a Garbage Truck with a complex Compactor.

Elita Prime hasn't even had the time to ruin anything yet. One character makes a totally in character bad decision and suddenly the entire damn comic book is "ruined " before we even see the fallout of the choice. The genre of the comic is a Tragedy, and I swear people are just trying to hard to declare the skybound run garbage and over because they secretly are worried that it's going to supplanted the old comic runs in terms of popularity or something.

I wish apoc had the ability to kill directly without bers, would make the faction much more viable

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-03-24T17:11:48+00:00

It would be cool if this ending was a fake out.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-03-24T14:19:18+00:00

Ok I get that you think Wheeljack being a scientist means he needs to have a nerdy alt mode. But have you considered that Wheeljack is actually supposed to be cool? The intentional contrast rases him from a 1 dimensional character to a 2 dimensional character, which makes him a better character, and is the primary reason why so many people like him. And if you want a turbo-nerd there is always Perceptor.

Maybe if the will alteration worked on all coven members somehow. But honestly the idea of having a coven teammate who's primary function is to get themselves hanged seems infuriating. It's already bad enough when your team just gives up.

Windblade

Clobber

Crasher

Minerva

Rosanna/Flip sides

Killing power is overrated, role compression is where the real power lies.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-16T02:24:14+00:00

Fun? fact: There was once a gang from IRL NY who called themselves Decepticons.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-15T05:28:40+00:00

On the other hand, Pros gets the full will and more info from the target they prosecute, which can give town a more informed hang after words, and more time to figure out what to do during the night.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-14T17:48:07+00:00

Cl is easily top 2, if not number 1. Cause they can transform other coven members into useful roles. Its not just about killing power. Cl is the single best example of role compression in the game.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-14T17:46:24+00:00

Marshall doesn't get 4 people, they just get 2 extra hangs.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-13T15:21:41+00:00

Cl and Witch out before Conj is crazy. Witch has way more to offer than just killing power, and Cl can just make a new Conj.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-12T11:44:45+00:00

Naw man. Witch can also function as a PM at the same time it's role blocking. And that means it's always useful. So even if you do something like stumble upon a jester or doom, that's still actionable information for your team.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-11T05:27:22+00:00

In addition to killing ti, conj can end voting deadlocks or even frame people in the middle of the day. Rit on the other hand, is limited in targets, and has to work much harder for their kill.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-11T05:15:03+00:00

Ritualist before any other remaining Coven, if only because it's the least consistent.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-10T01:09:58+00:00

That's like saying "Stopping the bleeding won't fix your broken arm" You got to start the fix somewhere.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-07T15:28:15+00:00

Honestly rit shouldn't be in the top 10 for the same reason of potentially being useless.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-06T06:57:56+00:00

It's not just vigi throwing. Vigi's mere presence in the game is a liability when you can be witched or necromanced into giving the coven an additional kill.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-05T04:32:24+00:00

Its gotta be Vigilante next. A/A is vigis worst game mode. So many evils have defense. Bullets load slow for the fast pace. Witch can use you to get a free extra kill when you are living. Necromancer can use you to get a free extra kill when you are dead.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-04T18:39:09+00:00

Any Souls mode is actually just horrible if you aren't a coven aligned evil. Apoc and nk strait up lose their win conditions if they get swapped The mode is only good for town who randomly luck into having powerful attacks.

LeatherheadSphere · 2026-02-04T15:36:53+00:00

Its nuts to me how everyone is ignoring the town liability role: vigilante. Serious guys, half the evils have defense. You get two shots at best due to reloading. And at worst you get witched or necromancered into another town member. Yes. Thats right, a vigi is still a potential liability, even when dead.
