Re: Favorite Character Build
So back in the day I used to play wizards or other spell casters.
Then in the not so distant past, I've been playing warrior types. Both low & high tech. However, in my last campaign (it was DF) I played an Artificer. I enjoyed it so much that in the new campaign (Pulp-Era Action!) I'm playing a Gageteer. I'm definitely into gadgeteering right now. |

Another thing is I generally play other races when possible but usually still 'human' ones such as nymph, elf, etc. |

Re: Favorite Character Build
Back many moons ago I played what was essentially a plain old half ogre brawler. He was just big, strong and dumb and like various objects O bashing. I had made a random reaction table for him when ever he got surprised I would roll on it and the RP out what happened. Dropping everything and screaming like a little... big girl was one of my favorites. I think there were 10 or so things that were all relatively non helpful in a fight.
He got a gigantic fuzzy hat that cursed him with a delusion that he could speak other languages. He loved that hat, the party managed to separate them after he made some big nasty thing annoyed. He was powerful enough to survive most of his own stupidity and was a treat to not need to really concentrate on much but his next meal and what he should hit really hard, or really harder. |

Re: Favorite Character Build
I have an idea, but I haven't yet been in a game where it would fit.
Snatcher is clearly set up to stop you getting rich off it: the Permanent enhancement is so expensive that you could buy lots of Wealth instead. Unique items and things that don't already exist in your own world are much harder. OK… So the character is an assassin. "Why, yes, search me all you like, I have no weapons." Then they Snatch, say, "a .44M auto pistol", which fits in 5lb, and do the murdering. Then they "voluntarily return" it, and the pistol is gone as if it never existed. Ballistics? Who cares? (It's not explicit, but I assume that they couldn't easily get the same pistol back later even if they wanted to, which of course they don't.) Stack it with Reliable for 4 points per +1; effective skill can't go above 13, but that's still >80%. Then if there are points left, and for colour, get Imbuements: now I can use that generic pistol to bounce bullets off the walls, bypass armour, set fires…

Re: Favorite Character Build
I imagine that having an Innate Attack that mimicked a pistol would be lesser expensive and simpler than Snatcher. For example, an attack that mimicked a Desert Eagle would be Large Piercing 4d (Accuracy 2, +10%; Increased Range x20, +40%; Rapid Fire 3, +50%; Extra Recoil, Recoil 4, -30%; Limited Use 3, Fast Reload, -10%) [39]. Of course, Snatcher would be able to do more than just attack, but It would be better to buy the Innate Attack if you just want someone who is capable of smuggling a pistol equivalent without detection.

Re: Favorite Character Build
My favourite builds are characters with Telekinesis and lots of AAs:
Also (hedge) witches, for which oneofmanynameless' list will be extremely useful in the future. |
