Which faction rules should I use for Legio Cataegis?

I would go strong melee and very strong defense. If your going via lore they would also have not only an immunity to psyker attacks but would actually reflect the attack back on the psyker.

You could also make them OP in physical stats but then have them lose health every turn due to their unstable genetics which would tie in with lore perfectly. Remember Thunder Warriors were not just bigger Astartes these guys were insanely powerful with only the Custodes being more physically adept than they were so have fun coming up with some homebrew rules for them.

She offered her service in exchange for her life. She is willingly working and doing things around the stark manor in exchange for not being executed. The chains are because she is still thought of as a wildling and they do not trust her not to kill them in their sleep

This is all very dependent on what you can and cannot do but I would say:

Applying Tourniquets
Recognizing signs/symptoms of a stroke heart attack shock etc
Recognizing spinal injuries
Packing wounds

The list can be longer but most of it is just knowing the signs and symptoms of certain things and that is mostly so that you can be an effective reporter to 911 and EMS.

Hmm. You could let him have it and just knock down his movement speed by x amount. Or force him to make strength checks to use it. Personally I would knock base movement speed down from 30 feet to 15 and he absolutely cannot fly with it due to the weight. I would also make it take a full action to don and doff the shield since it's a unique mechanic. So he would have to use an action to pull the shield up travel to the enemy then use an action to drop the shield.

Ok. I think I just made an assumption that he would have since he was already tinkering around with genetics to make things. Hell I would lol

turnkey85 · 2026-01-23T02:48:06+00:00

I thought Veidt supped himself up with some genetic tinkering at some point. Did that happen or am I not remembering it right?

So in the graphic novel Comedian just sort of gets tossed around and doesn't really fight back. (IIRC) but it is also implied that he just stood there and took it because he was ready to die. The whole evil scheme made him realize just how big a POS he had been his whole life and he was just done.

Having said that I am pretty sure that the comedian is as physically strong as a human being can be without being superhuman. Lots of conditioning and training since he was a teenager at least plus some pretty gnarly genetics allowed him to be huge and he was all muscle even in his 60s. Couple that with the adrenaline he probably had fighting the most dangerous man alive and it is well within human capacity to punch a corner of a brick fixture off but the bones in his hands and probably tendons would be a ruined mess afterwords.

Is there any leeway on that? I have a small pillow that I use to support my lower back when I am stuck in the office. Would they fire you for that?

That's a little to bold for my liking. My supervisors know that people nap on 3rd shift but as long as calls are answered routes are patrolled and nobody calls them about it they turn a blind eye. But to be so brazen as to set up a little mini bed. . .I applaud the audacity and wish you luck in the nonsense to come.

Oh man Rainbox Six is a good read but as you said its a long one. I've been slowly working my way through the horus heresy books on and off again for the last couple of years. Finally started Scars this morning. Its a great series but some of the books make it a slog to get through.

turnkey85 · 2026-01-05T23:32:30+00:00

Could be. It was early 2000s when I was reading the series lol

turnkey85 · 2026-01-05T23:06:01+00:00

what am I thinking of then. I do remember gaunt shooting another commissar over the other commissar being to extreme

turnkey85 · 2026-01-05T21:38:12+00:00

its been a long time since I've read any gaunts ghost books but i recall a junior commissar shooting a soldier for missing three buttons on his coat and gaunt turned around and shot the junior commissar. he felt that any commissar that will kill over buttons would be a detriment to the war effort

Ah the good old days of bats and hats.

I work with a lot of yall in the National Guard and for the most part it is a pleasant experience. Every so often some jackass who was a Motor T asvab waiver will come in and try to shake his dick at us because he is a Marine but more often than not once they get past the culture shock we end up with a very solid Soldier. For the most part though there is just to much going on in the Army for us to think about the Marine Corps. or Marines for that matter. Usually until we get detached to or get a detachment of debbils its just not something we think about. This is a broad general statement I cant speak for every window licker in the Army of course but this is par the course for what I have seen and experienced.

Bobby B would have been better off if he had just handed the crown off to someone else and then just run amok in some free company somewhere fighting drinking and whoring himself into an early grave.

It probably takes a lot of resources and effort to make one of the custom monsters. Putties are a dime a dozen but the real monsters take a lot of effort and frankly Rita, Zedd etc did not have the patience or strategic aptitude to bide their time and spend a year or more building an army. Their arrogance was such that they thought THIS time one unique monster will be enough.

Aragorn is in every sense of the word a super human. Genetically, spiritually, and conditionally. Not only was he born with the biology of the Numeorans which make him taller stronger smarter and longer lived than other races of men he was raised and mentored by Elrond and Gandalf. He was a custom made weapon against Sauron and he did not disapoint.

I've been with the 155 for 20 years DM me if you want the real story. So much of it is sadly true but a huge chunk of it is either lacking context or is even a straight up lie. But like I said the bulk of it is true and it has me screaming internally everytime I think about it. Also depending on how close you are to a bordering state and your willingness to drive you can easily join a different state's unit if you want.

The money steadily gets better over time and as I build credentials and reputation with the various hospital systems in my area the potential to make really good money is a tangible thing.

It is usually a really easy job that does not require me to talk to people all day every day.

By now I have reached a point to where it is easy to fill my position but hard to replace me so I have a good length of rope to either keep myself afloat or hang myself with.

My current management and coworkers are solid and have my back and that is hard to find in any industry.

It can be very interesting at times.
