I’m interested in returning to EU PBP games. I had an account and character (Thorgrim PFRPG), which I placed as inactive via the EP Marketplace a few years ago ~2019. Overcome by work (deployments) at the time to effectively contribute as an active member. I attempted to login to EU to navigate for ...

Ya on Roll20, right?

Any stipulations on character selection/creation?
What’s lacking in the current party; maybe I could balance it out?

Warpig

Still looking for players? I’ll hop in line for that…

Pirates, Swashbucklers, etc... not all Men at Arms take up or can reasonably be expected to learn two handed weapons or two weapon fighting Anyone of those can easily take WP paired, or why not invest some clout in ranged attacks too... Whether thrown or archery. I would also advocate bringing over...

Warpig

I am not saying the rule is a bad one... just not a fully fleshed out one. As the combat system is currently designed it favors two weapon fighters significantly. Your house rule redresses that for two handed weapons quite well. But ignores the one handed single weapon fighter. I am not saying one ...

Warpig

My concerns are only minimally connected to the damage discrepancy. It has more to do with mechanical advantage. As it stands in the attrition based system that is PB combat (he who does the most damage the most frequently wins) there is mechanical reason to use a 1 handed weapon except for as a tw...

I would like to introduce a couple house rules into my group: 1) PS based bonus damage for two-handed weapons is x1.5 (rounded down where applicable) of what the standard bonus is. More "science" and full application of strength in delivering a blow is possible as opposed to dealing a blo...

Thanks!

I also bothered to search for posts on this topic and saw that it's been thoroughly covered

What I understand the rules to be: - shields (small, medium, or large as PFRPG typically classifies them as) in and of themselves don't provide the user any kind of bonus to parry... Even though they are purpose built to do that. - The skills for WP shield and WP sword, blunt, battle axe, etc provid...

So I recently rolled up a Paratrooper OCC (and dwarven race from CB1). I'm following the OCC template for starting equipment... 1 Weapon per W.P. Skill etc, and have 7,000 credits + 4,000 Black Market values item to spend on some initial equipment. As opposed to being a tank or ninja I'm taking oth...

No doubt it's a good OCC, but I'd never consider them Spec Ops...

Warpig

Paratrooper rocks pretty hard. It's called "Paratrooper" but if you read it, it's SEAL/SpecOps/SpecForces It's much better represented for the special forces soldier than the actual special forces OOC. Agreed... As per my other post "dwarven paratrooper" ...it's from a recent bo...

Sounds interesting

Some more info on this... I'm hopping into a running campaign where players may be a level or 2 higher. More than that, I've only got 52 MDC environmental armor protecting me... I need to be able to dish out max damage ...Fast. According to the GM, players will be maimed, killed, he doesn't sugar co...

I didn't have direct guidance just that I'd have access to mostly anything as a Merc to pick my starting Wpns but within reason, thus no rune weapons, kittani, Japan stuff

NE equipment can also get you killed on sight if you're caught using it by the wrong people. The Wilks laser sword (chuckles) Does 5D6 damage and would take up alot less room in your kit than a broad sword if you're jumping into an area. I concur that you'll want something that works on universal E...

Warpig

For a paratrooper, I'd drop anything that uses really specialized ammunition like plasma cartridges, unless you absolutely KNOW it's going to be a quick in-out mission drop. Stick with e-clip powered weapons, especially if you can use the same e-clips as any enemy you've killed. With the right adap...

REVENGE!!!

Batman does it partly, so did Conan the Barbarian!

Apok for a local OCC

my favorite OCC for the Dimensions setting is the Knight of Kamnos OCC, found in Rifter #1. They're like the Invincible Guardsmen but for Humanity

I'm surprised that Xena and Eowyn didn't rank higher in this poll. Okay, Eowyn only had her ONE (yet tremendous) moment of greatness, while Xena had multiple ones. Of course, the writers of Xena don't compare to the great J.R.R. Tolkien, and therefore granted Xena and unrealistic success in a fanta...

as far as this poll is concerned, the numbers add up to that for everyone. I myself literally can't be convinced otherwise that Conan would be anything other than victorious (even if he ended up dieing in the process) thats just Conan. And I know Conan, I'm obsessed, he's my 1 true hero I've been a ...

Warpig

I think it's a bad idea, the PF game is one which works well in itself but even when you convert an MDC universe character into it, he's a step above everything else.

Warpig

It sounds to me Like somebody needs to buy some new dice! LOL!

Warpig

the bonuses from all the skills/stats/powers specifically for running, arent those for running? ...Not applied when turning yourself into a super bouncing, wheel-footed, engine man?

Warpig

say perhaps...using the hair off of a Wooly Dragon for bow string, that would be some pretty rare, bada$$ stuff.

Here's another question I got on bow though, what about Horn Bows? Like a mongolian horse bow or something. Compact and yet more powerful than a short bow.

Warpig

Damn Palladium for underpowering the grappling arts of wrestling, holds, locks, submissions, strangles, and takedowns!!

Warpig

Are there compound bows in PF or is that too advanced a technology. Are there stats for them?
same questions for composite bows...

I'd keep him around if you ran The Hand of Tezuan campaign, have him show up a few days after in the end after the characters have finally breached the vault and taken his goods.

I must agree, if "true love" is involved, Wesley could accomplish the impossible. And that's a quality that Ash doesn't have. Sure, he's cocky, he's sarcastic and hilarious with one liners, but he doesn't have the depth of Wes. But, Wes fights for something different than himself. Ash has that one ...

They may seem impossible to climb out of...but Westley'd find a way, especially if true love was on the other end of the arena. I'm pretty sure they...

In this Situation, I'd have to say Cyber-Knight all the way. Cyber and psychic enhancements to a decent combat oriented OCC with good equipment and title/reputation. It'd be like attending a cross between attending a martial arts academy and bootcamp, both I can handle. I'm a pretty moral person too...

Warpig

seeing as how Conan or Hercules or maybe even Ash would probably take that twig of a sword he has and risk being cut or stabbed with it once to grab it (like in that movie Rob Roy) snap it into peices with their bare hands, and finally helpless Westley would get romped on. And no I doubt anyone of t...
