Making the Get Backers to annoy my players :)
« on: August 07, 2009, 05:29:35 PM »
Alright, so... the topic pretty much explains what I'm looking to do here.

Ginji would probably work best as a warlock, reflavored for lightning. Seriously, it might just work.

Ban would be more... complicated. His Jagan is simply something I haven't seen in D&D. And then there's the fact he's a Spring Attacking ubercharger.

Himiko might work as a potion-throwing rogue with actual potions.

Shido is... umm... a Totemist? A Binder? Hell if I know.

Kazuki is a Sorcerer who forgot any utility spells in the seat of his androgynous other pants.

Obviously, this is just the beginning, and needs lots of work. Any ideas?  :)

It's an anime/manga about a group of people with superpowers who get shit for people/keep people from getting shit. The anime is pretty badass (I haven't read the manga).

And you forgot Akabane! How dare you?!

Quotes I Found Entertaining:

Huge amounts of people are fuckwits. That doesn't mean that fuckwit is a valid lifestyle.

As a general rule, murdering people and taking their stuff is pretty much superior to breaking their stuff, murdering them, then not having any stuff to take.

You probably should have included a link to a description of the characters in your first post.

The manga's much better, and that's saying something.

And Akabane can be reproduced almost entirely with equipment. Mantle of Weaponry, boots of haste and a ring of telekinesis and it's pretty much all there.

You're right, I should. Thanks.

Well, the Jagan illusions are just spells, make their time last for freaking ever, and only have 3 of those spells a day (the flavor-accuracy for disappearance after the fourth use is just fluff, and would be hard). Snakebite is some Stone Dragon maneuvers, done.

I haven't gotten to see the show yet, but outputting electricity... if Genji gets worn out in the series using it, he could even be a psion/wilder....

Wilder seems very likely. His Raitei/Lightning Lord "mode" could be an extreme form of overchannelling, perhaps?

The Jagan specifically needs to be set up as a gaze attack. Ocular spell much? Still, it's an illusion powerful enough to equate to Mindrape (in the manga specifically, he occasionally uses it to get secrets out of his enemies by making them hallucinate about the memory he needs). Stone Dragon maneuvers fit the Snakebite to a T, though - great call on that.

EDIT: Also, Ban TOTALLY has Bardic Lore up the wazoo. No matter how obscure the legend he always seems to be on top of it - he's complimented regularly for being sharp for a guy his age.

easy enough, just have your talky villains speak engrish.

make sure to write a script in advance though, so you don't slip up.  ...and make thier lines really cheese.

That'd just make me sound like a retarded redneck (or, around here, a mock Chinese person, since we don't speak English as a native tongue).

Now seriously, guys.

I think that was the point :P

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time.  I give you much fu.
Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie.

Naw, the point of the whole thing is that my players keep messing around with me because of the anime, but only one of them has actually watched it. So I wanna mess with them back.
