Rick & Morty Season 3 spoilers...
So Rick broke free, destroyed the Galactic Federation, got his daughter to divorce Jerry, destroyed the council of Ricks and basically got everything he ever wanted.

Chances he is still in the Brainalyzer?

Mages will generally try to affect the largest hp pool they can. This means that for aoe spells density of hp per square is important, but for single target spells it is generally just unit hp. Against Einhere you might struggle, they are pretty much designed as giant killers. Einhere are quite reso...

Pushing prot from 12 > 16 doesn't help as much as you would think. Against regular spear armed infantry the regen from N9 was probably going to give you enough time to kill them anyway, whereas against anything that actually kills giants (barbarians, dualwielders) the damage is still likely to stack...

The main time I'd ever error on the side of secret rolls is when I didn't want the players to know if their character's effort was at the high or low end of their capability. If the thief is searching for something and rolls a 19 and you say "you find nothing" the thief can basically lear...

Yes, however until Emperor Mollari was printed there was literally zero point to using Prime Minister Mollari unless you were purging shadow marks for additional Diplomacy. Upgrading your ambassador to 6/6 with no abilities for 14 infuence is a terrible deal. When the PM was printed it was intention...

Ah, I suppose I could see using the PM as just a stepping stone to the Emperor. As I said we had basically stopped playing by the point Severed Dreams came along, and we never saw the PM see play prior to that. Having a further extension to Londo just seemed emblematic of the hole the game was disap...

Both actually. Or rather either? Babylon 5 was interesting in that you got to choose your opening hand. As it was a slower paced game and you mainly spent the early game setting up and getting to 10 influence there wasn't the capacity for rush decks like in MtG. Your starting hand was only 4 cards, ...

These mainly look good, however some feedback on a few oddities: Energy Ray [Magic] Benefit: Energy Ray (Su): Pick Fire, Electricity, Acid or Cold. You gain a ranged touch attack at medium range that deals 1d6/damage per level of that type. Pick one when you get the feat, and you can’t change it. Se...

I got the TMNT RPG as a teenager and me and my friends loved it. There was just the right mix of serious and wacky, plus a fairly simple system that had enough easily breakable points that we felt clever for discovering them. The name recognition also made it a great game for introducing someone tha...

Leadership shouldn't be a feat at all, since it's just "everyone takes it and you army manage" or "no one takes it" that's just a decision you make at character creation that is like deciding to play a game at level 8 or level 1. This. Leadership feats were a cludge based on the...

Alternatively you can tie the more powerful effects to less powerful ones as pre-req's, creating a suitable feat investment requirement. I'm not saying it will be totally straightforward, just that it gives you a wide baseline of feats to work with already sorted into roughly level-appropriate band...

Have you considered simply taking the Tome feats, splitting them into their component pieces and giving them a pre-req of whatever requirement they have for that level?
