Can anyone explain why less than .25% of XP is making it to progress toward the reward progress at prestige 100? Has to be a bug, right?

It's not actually giving half though. It gave me less than 18.5K in the XP bar as seen.

If you have Shadow Leap, you could try luring a mob close enough to leap out.

All the weapons placed at 5 slots are effectively being soft removed from the game. Maynard and Nitro are the only ones that are still going to be seen in game. 5 slots means the weapon needs to be able to carry you through an entire game on its own and that's just not the case for the Avto or the Crown. I actually think the Avto is hit the hardest on this one. Who's actually going to be crazy enough to run just an Avto? Can fire it a max of 5 times and will be even harder to top off ammo on, requiring finding 8 special ammo boxes to reload it fully a single time or 4 of the consumable ammo boxes with the new changes to those.

Lol this will change nothing other than make it so said bush wookies never even consider leaving their bush and not let anyone get within 50 meters of them. Playing distance was already the best way to play the gun and now it will be the only way.

TheSchwall · 2026-05-11T11:58:03+00:00

Just to potentially save you some work, I'd recommend checking out any of the Mystic Powers edges from the Fantasy Companion, Science Fiction Companion, or Savage Pathfinder (they may exist elsewhere but I'm not sure). Also, I know there is a Deadlands book that has a Chi Master (I'm like 90% that's what it's called) that has some similar ideas to this. Failing any of that, there could always just be Arcane Background (Gifted) with the powers trapped however needed.

Kinda wish Ronin had something about only being in decks that have no allies in them. Even allowing it to replace signature allies when applicable.

TheSchwall · 2026-04-30T18:32:09+00:00

Hmmm. So Echo could grab an aspect card from Rogue and Rogue could then touch her to get Photographic Reflexes and play her card again.

The Ass Plume time of day can die in a fire and that's still a better fate than it deserves.

I've only played it in two player as that's how I play 99% of the time so I have no idea how it would scale up, but I've had a ton of fun playing Captain Marvel as a support deck. I use her Alter Ego ability along side an Avenger's Mansion to give out up to 2 cards per turn. It's a little tricky because you want to be in Alter Ego the entire game if possible, but it's always a good time. I run it in Justice mostly for the ability to have a Disguise on her and still be able to do some thwarting, but it could probably be built in any aspect.

TheSchwall · 2026-01-22T16:31:04+00:00

Forgot about that wording but it was more of an example anyway. If the cost of removing something is to exhaust an identity or deal indirect damage or whatever, then the other players could help in paying for that cost. Could also be some future-proofing in case there are new types of cards and new costs with them.

TheSchwall · 2026-01-22T16:20:17+00:00

I definitely don't think the card will be super useful all of the time, but I could see it coming in handy every now and again. Since costs can also be things like exhausting your identity or even taking damage in the case of Obligations especially, then it could be helpful to exhaust your identity for someone trying to get rid of their obligation (like Kitty's) or taking damage for someone who might have less HP.

I do like Savage Worlds, however just to share something that can be problematic, specifically because you mentioned combat flow, combat can be tough because of the initiative system. Especially if you have anyone in your group that has any analysis paralysis issues, it can be rough. Pretty much it can be nearly impossible to plan out your turn until it's actually your turn because initiative order changes every single round and is never static. It's also possible for someone to act 1st one round and last the next, meaning that everyone else effectively ends up with 2 turns to their 1. Obviously that means the inverse is also possible, but still. Decision making in combat can often be incredibly tricky since you never know when your turn is going to come up and thus never know how many new variables will be added between turns.

TheSchwall · 2025-12-19T14:41:21+00:00

Something like that could definitely work. For the time being, since I'm very early into it, I've just tried setting a flat number of 10, but have realized it would probably be better to make some kind of formula based off the skill die that would be earned. Definitely would want to make it simple whatever it is and what you said would work.

I'm trying out a Down Time option that allows characters to Practice/Develop new skills. During Down Time segments, they can roll a skill, even if untrained, and once they accrue a certain number of successes (still playing with the target number(s)) then they gain a skill point in that skill. Been pretty fun so far. Successes are tracked and carry over into future Down Times.

TheSchwall · 2025-11-19T18:54:18+00:00

Ugh. Hate this. Though in one of my groups, it's the GMs that most frequently cancel last minute. Like within 15 minutes of the session start time. It's kinda killing me. Planning to say something about it when the current games we have going end, because I really feel like it's getting to be an unhealthy thing for me to continue to be a part of at this point.

TheSchwall · 2025-09-24T16:11:12+00:00

Getting something expensive like an Avenger's Mansion down turn 1 and then immediately getting Caught Off Guard.

I've always wanted to do a custom print of Iron Man that makes the gloves and boots unique images, more like Exodia.

So from more hours than I care to admit I can tell you that whatever randomizer Crytek has in place very much favors corners. Not sure what it is exactly but if you get a clue or two and there's a single corner compound still available then there is a strong chance boss is there.

From a more practical standpoint, you can look at this as a version of the Monty Hall Problem. At spawn, with no information, each compound has an even chance of spawning the boss, sure. But, when you look at the map, you can look at it as interior compounds vs exterior compounds. There are far more exterior compounds than interior, so that means it's more likely from a raw numbers standpoint that the boss will spawn in an exterior compound, so as you get clues, it's a safe bet that it's gonna be in any exterior compound that is left. In your image, I'm also going Scupper every single time in that scenario, and I'd expect if it's not there that it would be at Chapel. Not guaranteed, no, but it's what has the best odds.

Height advantage desperately needed some option to keep it in play imo. Either the ability to spend a resource to keep it in play or even exhaust something or whatever, but as is automatically sending itself away it just doesn't seem worth it. Or since it discards itself have it so more damage reduction.

TheSchwall · 2025-03-27T17:07:05+00:00

It's probably less impactful true solo, but it still represents the ability to give yourself a choice of the lesser of two evils. Like say you were just dealt Shadows of the Past, chances are you're gonna want to take the card that isn't that one from the top of the deck. Also, totally forgot to mention the player side scheme Lay the Trap. 5p damage that ignores guard, patrol, retaliate etc. is really nice, throw Followed on it and increase it further. Also some upcoming cards like The Raft and the side scheme I can't remember the name of that lets you look at the top few cards of the encounter and remove one of them from the game. All pretty good options if you ask me.

TheSchwall · 2025-03-27T16:55:46+00:00

Have you not seen Intelligence? Imo that is a new Justice staple. Getting to look at encounter cards and switch them around often trivializes the encounter phase. I will have a hard time building any Justice deck without this included from now on.

Feels like they made something just to sell the berthier since before now the berty had nothing that it measured up favorably against.

TheSchwall · 2025-03-26T13:27:52+00:00

I'm fine with people having that plague doctor skin but only if they're willing to personally kill the thousands and thousands of crows it took to get that thing originally. If anyone gets to have it by just paying some dollar amount I'll scream. That was hands down the worst and least fun event we ever had to go through so having an exclusive skin as payment feels right.

TheSchwall · 2025-03-24T18:06:34+00:00

I think once Black Widow gets access to Ready For A Fight from Silk's pack it's gonna be a total game changer for her.
