"The Grass is Snitching on the Sheep" sounds like the ramblings of a madman but here it's just awesome.

Maybe they just kinda nod along and never listen to lyrics?

Yes. A surprising majority of "fans" of music don't actually listen to anything but the chorus, and even that's negotiable it seems. And if they do pay attention to any other parts, they intentionally misconstrue the lyrics to actually be completely different.

They're just Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance fans, don't worry about it.

This is part of the reason I love Monster of the Week. Unlike in many TTRPGs, the default expectation is that you all have a common backstory.

The rest of the book is neonationalist garbage

Just have to ask...you do realize it's satire, right?

You. Don't. Need. To. Be. To. Have. Realized. He. Was. Like. This. Since. Before. His-

First fucking term and even before that. This bit's old already.

I am absolutely arguing that. The rich in actual mid-to-south New York and elsewhere aren't actually taxed, why would the rich in Gotham be?

[–] macmacfire@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Key word, Should. If taxes actually went where people say it does, it might. And even then, it'd also take a lot of funding outside of just taxes, not to mention someone to actually start doing stuff about with all that funding. Also note on that list is rampant corruption and criminal syndicates mingling with the government.

I just think whether or not each and every player here has an outrageously high stat and what those stats are is a bit of an unnecessary hassle to add to the already long list of things the GM needs to keep track of.

[–] macmacfire@lemmy.ml 0 points 11 months ago (3 children)

The problem with this argument is that first off, the GM can't know your character sheet front-to-back because they're not playing your character, so they probably don't know if even a 1 will pass the DC they've set.

1/20 is much less regular than 5/20 or even 19/20

It's still far more common than is reasonable.

"Even" Animals don't deserve it? Why is "even" in that sentence? Are you assuming we would be more willing to hurt animals than we would be to defend ourselves from fascists?

Tolerance of intolerance is the death of tolerance.

That implies animals are lesser than fascists.

Basically what's in the meme. I don't know if this is an appropriate post here, but I don't have all the specifics.

The gist though is pretty much as described - limit break is its own resource(Like a channel divinity charge) that you can use for Action Surge and then, perhaps, a new ability for each subclass. These charges would refresh on short rest(that's important) and you could maybe even gain a third ability of your choice at higher levels, and of course you gain more charges as you level.
Champion's could be called Honour-Bind and act as a sort of pseudo Compelled Duel ability, to force aggro on you(advantage on Opportunity Attacks, Crossbow Expert negated if it isn't against you, bonus to AC for not having any allies within melee range but having multiple enemies within melee range, etc).
Banneret could get Rallying Cry as this instead of just a pathetic add-on to Second Wind - The user and everyone who hears it gains 5 or so turns of a bunch of Temp HP, immunity to frightened, advantage against poisoned and charmed, some sort of bonus to damage dealt with attacks, and then maybe even instantly stabilizes if they're on death saves, or even just straight-up gets up at 5 HP.
This is made with the idea of BattleMaster maneuvers being resourceless and available to all martials in mind(hence the title), but if it's still a subclass it could just outright gain a huge bonus to its maneuvers for a time.
Rune Knight could just slightly buff its third level Giant's Might ability(The thing that makes you beeg) and have that as its Limit Break.
This was also made with the idea of making Barbarian a fighter subclass in mind, and of course, Barbaric Rage is that subclass limit break.
Maybe even Ranger, and a version of Hunter's Mark becomes their Limit Break? For instance, you could split into three different versions - Pinpoint, which would give you bonuses to attacks against your mark(which are different, but not necessarily strictly better or worse, depending if they're melee, ranged, or even with spells), Chase, which would speed you up and make it easier to slow down, grapple, tackle etc your mark(or pick it up or steal it if it's an object), and Stalk, which...well, lets you hide and stalk your mark, maybe even allowing bonus action dodging. Maybe that's a bit too many subclasses for one class, though...

This was obviously conceptualized for D&D, though I think it would work in other games like Pathfinder just as well. Any sort of tips for what exactly to do with this?
