@vahnj I doodled a kobold dragoon years back, and he's never stopped being a good sketch to pull up again :3 https://awoo.space/media/t3pQppfM8-Ank13Rga4
@Draekos AIIIEEEEEEEE I LOVE THEM
@vahnj :D I found Siva too! I thought I'd lost this file.
<_< Nothing like giving monsters rideby mawlings for stupidly high damage rolls. DM said we could make broken characters. Campaign involved a monk who could roll to ignored damage. Infinitely. INFINITELY.

I mean captain america (pathfinder shield brawler build) is pretty bad :3
Not as bad as a /wizard/ but still.
@Irick @IrisKalmia @Draekos one of my favorite builds is a ninja/monk hybrid- you can throw something like 18 shurikens at level 20
it doesn't sound that scary but if you use some form of wish to wish for a permanently poisoned returning shuriken that does con damage............
@vahnj @Draekos @IrisKalmia @Irick to be perfectly honest i love builds like this
in general i love systems that are robust enough for this kind of interaction but not monitored enough to have the jank taken out
@typhlosion @Irick @IrisKalmia @Draekos that's a big reason i love pathfinder- there's some ridiculous stuff you can do with it, and because of that it supports a really huge variety of power levels of gameplay
@vahnj @Draekos @IrisKalmia @typhlosion
PC kobolds are legit one of my criteria for evaluating any fantasy RPG.
@Irick @Draekos @IrisKalmia @typhlosion this is why i haven't pushed any of my groups to play Shadowrun very heavily- kobolds are NOT what they should be
@Irick @Draekos @IrisKalmia @typhlosion I've played both - they're both real good Cyberpunk for different reasons
@vahnj @Draekos @IrisKalmia @typhlosion
Eh. I more consider Shadowrun Urban Fantasy that started adopting some of the tropes of cyberpunk. I realise that seems pedantic, but I don't really like the hoops you have to jump through conceptually to mix Fantasy derived genres with SciFi derived.
@Irick @vahnj @Draekos @IrisKalmia they're all genre fiction anyway - there's a reason "SFF" is lumped together so often
@typhlosion @vahnj @Draekos @IrisKalmia
Yeah, because Accademia hated its existence :P It's not like we lump Charles Dickens in with the Horror Penny Dreadfuls.
@Irick @vahnj @Draekos @IrisKalmia i wouldn't call Charles Dickens genre fiction
@typhlosion @vahnj @Draekos @IrisKalmia
That's because genre fiction is a term that was recently invented to categories 'things that originated in pulp magazines'. My point is that Charles Dickens wrote his stories in the victorian equivalent of pulp magazines and actually took a very long time to be recognized as literarily worthwhile. They also lumped him in with the "Penny Dreadfuls"
@vahnj @Draekos @IrisKalmia @typhlosion
I just don't like shadowrun because it ruins Cyberpunk for me to have straight up magic :P
