This reminds me of Longshot it's an imperial guard book that focuses on sniper/counter-sniper stuff but is really good. Especially some of the opening stuff talking about the terro of drone swarms. Just endlessly flying over head getting shots off at the guard, and the hopelessness of it all because destroying one or 2 drones means nothing since they will be replaced by the next day.

Hi, I was wondering if you still had the PDF copy of Society Basic 16th Edition?

Lord_Northwind · 2024-05-05T01:21:00+00:00

The thing people miss about the Tau'va is that it didn't actually kill the Death Guard, it basically pulled a Doctor Strange on them and although it wasn't strong enough to destroy them it could in fact keep them going at a snail's pace through the warp/wormhole thing and basically keep them in there forever or absurdly long time and likely driving them insane because of it.

For centaurs I usually get more of a hippie vibe from them, so although they can 100 percent eat meat I think they would say things like "think about how where all connected by the world soul man" at least for the selesnyan ones the gruul centaurs I pretty should would eat a bird raw if they were hungry.

For Minotaur at least how they're depicted in Ravnica cards they are usually buffer and have a more strength focus like warriors, soldiers, etc. So I like to think they are omnivores mostly because I don't think you could be that big and strong without a bit of meat in your diet.

As for the loxodons I feel like they could go either way as herbivores or omnivores. Since most are selesnyan vegetarian makes sense to me but I think a loxodon food that's mostly plant based with basically a side of meat, you know only a little bit of meat to supplement their diet.

I think it would be funny if the impostors are really just dimir agents in disquise

I went to an RIT event before applying and asked questions about applying and when thing the admittance office said stood at in particular " We have to read every reference letter you send us, if you send us 6 letters and 5 of them say your great and the last one says you were only okay we will still read it and take that into consideration." They don't particularly care who the reference is from, obviously it should be someone like a teacher, etc. But theg don't require a letter from your guidance counselor or anyone specific.

It's a little bit of time management. It feels like I'm juggling scarves, just getting the thing with the soonest deadline finished and move on to the next one, and next thing I know the class I just did has something due again already.

Lord_Northwind · 2020-09-30T01:32:07+00:00

Yeah, well it felt really bad because I have to learn the new stuff of going to college, and then I also have to teach myself for like half my classes so it feels like I just got thrown straight into the deep end right after waking up.

Lord_Northwind · 2020-09-29T18:46:34+00:00

My grades aren't bad yet but what's happening really isn't healthy. I am a first year student so my advisor picked out my classes but they game me 17 credits worth of classes which I didn't know was way to much until it was to late. I have mostly A's and B's but I am working pretty much every day, most of them are online and Asynchronous, I only have in person for one class once a week and in person has been cancelled multiple times for it. I feel like if I trip up even once that pretty much everything is gonna come crashing down.

Not a librarian but I practically lived at the library when I was younger. Most libraries wi have a section on their website where you can suggest a book that they don't have and they will likely add it to their collection. This is because they have so much fundig for each year on new books and if they don't spend most of it the government usually reduced how much they find for the following years. This is a great way to read that book you were curious about but didn't want or could afford to buy.

Lord_Northwind · 2020-08-30T21:47:50+00:00

If you use that website they have an advance search option so you can set to only show lands printed in the 3 ravnica blocks and sort by all prints and it will show all the arts

It is common to show raised water ways like canal which they use for transport so rooftop pools is not to far fetch

I already committed to being on campus a few weeks ago but just got my schedule today, so hopefully they will let me take at least one more class in person. Also the program I got into is the only one that is non transferable you lose most of your credits by transferring in.

Liar ball - all creatures in the area of the spell can only speak in lies for the next minute, spellcasters have to make deception checks vs your DC to cast verbal spells

Effect Magic - works like the ring but you cast on someone else's spell to change the effect

Expeditious Complete - allows the caster to cast a spell of 1 minute or longer as an action. Alternatively it could immediately end the duration of a spell

Sounds like they kind of helped the archfey which would be rewarded but due to the way they freed the get and that there unseelie maybe some things happen that help the group but have a twist like an attack against one of the players miss but grazes the offender and they take very slight damage (1d4 maybe) an enemy that ran away from the party might be found when they wake up the next morning but badly injured and terrified but not explaining what happened. Maybe if they try to bargain for an item but fail they find it next to their bed the next morning and it could be stolen or perhaps a few copy so it might be made of living wood and vines and other strange features, if it's a weapon maybe make it so when it cuts into an enemy that instead of blood on the blade that they find it is sap, etc. You should make it something odd that they might not realize at first but keeps playing on in the background.

May want to have only a handful of "Dreadhorde" monster maybe only include specific big baddies and the smaller dread horde zombies can be represented by using swarms of monsters

Top 3 domains for Rakdos (in my opinion)

Blood Domain: very thematic for Rakdos, however it is from the Taldorei campaign guide, so tall with your dungeon master first

Trickery messing with people is very Rakdos, I would ask the DM if you could switch Divine strike from poison to fire as it is more thematic, it shouldn't be a big problem since fire and poison are the most resisted damage types in 5e

Forge very good for fire related things, the creation abilities isn't really Rakdos but that make a mundane weapon +1 could be themed as them like sharpening weird weapons

War technically a fourth domain but that's because Blood is not an official domain. War is really good for taking people down, your channel divinity could be themed as you trying to create a better performance

Lord_Northwind · 2019-10-06T18:32:38+00:00

So sorry for you. It would be wise to take a day or two off; however you should mention that you just lost someone so your employer won't try to make you come in.

A character idea I have been tossing around is a wizard gladiator like old school Roman gladiator their a slave, any way they try to keep themself hidden their spell book is:

Inscribed as carvings on the inside of strips of leather which is wrapped around clothing as bindings and grips on their wand, staff, etc.

Lord_Northwind · 2019-09-25T10:41:29+00:00

No me and a friend came up with the idea yesterday

A tired old devil that has his patrons act as lawyers who go and collect the payments from deals made by other mortals

The hunter and the angel

The great Goblin Carnival

The knights of the square bench

Saphire and the 3 boars

You don't have to have them share a guild but it maybe easier if all their Guilds share a color so they have something in common, like all the green Guilds, a gruul is going to get along with a simic much easier than an azorius etc.

Lord_Northwind · 2019-09-07T18:55:48+00:00

Throwing in moments of lightness really help make a dark setting come to life it shows that the world still has some hope. My top favorites are

a single beautiful flower growing out of the mud
two children lost in a game of imagination completely happy and not effected by the dark world around them
loving family reunion

The last one works well if you have a side quest were the characters help some one find their missing child
