So

2019-09-13 15:36:54 UTC  

Dark shit is a thing

2019-09-13 15:37:18 UTC  

yeah I agree, I would sit down with the group and figure out everyone's comfort zone in advance, that and like expectations for the adventure, it's basic gming

2019-09-13 15:37:20 UTC  

and my Marvel Heroes RPG character got killed in the 2nd or 3rd session I played with him... but got revived don't ask me how or why

2019-09-13 15:37:21 UTC  

The OSS (American precursor to CIA) is basically the Inquisition from 40K

2019-09-13 15:38:10 UTC  

hm... I'm supposed to roll up a character for warhammer fantasy rpg

2019-09-13 15:38:21 UTC  

I will do that... tomorrow

2019-09-13 15:38:25 UTC  

Witch Hunter

2019-09-13 15:38:39 UTC  

I kinda wanna play a halfling thief or sth similar

2019-09-13 15:38:55 UTC  

I always go rogue in games *badam tsss*

2019-09-13 15:39:12 UTC  

Nothing wrong with a dark world. or graphic content. WWII setting could be really interesting.

2019-09-13 15:39:21 UTC  

Are you praying to Sigmar wrong?
Heresy!

2019-09-13 15:39:29 UTC  

xD

2019-09-13 15:40:00 UTC  

rogue is always fun, I've always wanted to play a sniper rogue with a crossbow or something

2019-09-13 15:40:33 UTC  

Ranger does that better for the most part, but a scout rogue would be fun

2019-09-13 15:40:38 UTC  

hey WW2 could be fun... playing as a german turncoat / resistance fighter would definitely be fun

2019-09-13 15:40:54 UTC  

Lore bards do pretty well for being archers too.

2019-09-13 15:40:57 UTC  

The germans are Lizardfolk

2019-09-13 15:41:37 UTC  

I've habitually avoided ranger from how weak I heard it was

2019-09-13 15:41:52 UTC  

Ranger is fun
Original 5e ranger is weak

2019-09-13 15:41:58 UTC  

But revised ranger is a lot of fun

2019-09-13 15:42:20 UTC  

so far I only played rogue and druid in 3.5... didn't have much chance to play rogue in 5e

2019-09-13 15:42:40 UTC  

in 5e it's easier to get your sneaks which is good

2019-09-13 15:43:55 UTC  

oh yeah... I killed some undead beast thanks to my sneak attack

2019-09-13 15:44:16 UTC  

So
Now I have a question to the DM here
@TT
If pieces of dragons could be forged into weapons and armor like metal, could a Druid use armor made from forged dragon bits?

2019-09-13 15:45:21 UTC  

if a druid can wear hide I don't see why they couldn't wear dragonscale, same principle imo

2019-09-13 15:46:04 UTC  

Well
You can make plate out of this stuff by forging it
It works like a metal but comes from dragons

2019-09-13 15:47:08 UTC  

if I was the GM, I would permit druids wearing dragonscale armor even if it was crafted into heavy armors like scale mail

2019-09-13 15:47:49 UTC  

the principle is that druids don't like the fact that metal armors are unnatural

2019-09-13 15:48:05 UTC  

Ok
That has been my current idea about how it will go
There's no druid in my party yet
But that seems to me to very much be a 'yet' with my party

2019-09-13 15:48:52 UTC  

If it makes plate it can make scales/rings for armors that would count as medium. Just drop the effectiveness down to match from their dragon plate counterparts if that's a concern.

2019-09-13 15:49:59 UTC  

yeah the thing about 5e is that I think it's mostly built around the balance of the numbers rather than the fluff, generally in these situations what I would do is use something "mechanically legal" and flavour it however I decide

2019-09-13 15:50:22 UTC  

Currently, it confers bonuses based on what kind of dragon it came from, but it also weighs more on average

2019-09-13 15:51:44 UTC  

Weight increase corresponds to a dex modifier penalty, if you so choose.

2019-09-13 15:52:54 UTC

"The idea is that druids prefer to be protected by animal skins, wood, and other natural materials that aren’t the worked metal that is associated with civilization."

2019-09-13 15:53:19 UTC  

Also true.

2019-09-13 15:53:44 UTC  

Thanks guys

2019-09-13 15:54:37 UTC  

honestly it's a good question, I'll be thinking about it for a while on how druids handle that cognitive dissonance between hating metal and there being animals that they can harvest metal from

2019-09-13 15:55:01 UTC  

Ooh
A debate

2019-09-13 15:55:03 UTC  

maybe it's like, vegan burgers hahaha

2019-09-13 15:56:02 UTC  

tofurkey?
