if you've never heard of it, look up the FATAL TTRPG.

first of all, what
second of all, what

1: yep
2: uh huh
3: hat indeed.

That's one of the core spellcasting *mancy domains. Maybe in gurps? (The amount of people who can fact check me about gurps is statistically small, even in an RPG community)

You could definitely build Anomancy in GURPS with one of the alternative magic systems, probably Magic as Powers or Ritual Path Magic.

ETA: I was hasty, this is just the Divination(Physiognomy) spell from the base Magic system as described on M108-109.

"Alright so now I'm a level 4 Anomancer. I'm gonna cast Wicked Flatulence. leaves a lingering cloud in the area. thats gonna be a CON saving throw."

You rolled a nat 20. Increase the circle of your AoE by 10 feet.

Thank you, very necessary.

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Have you divined anything already?

[–] Edward@lemmy.4d2.org 15 points 4 days ago

I need time. Everything will come.

Every time a pic of this book gets posted somewhere I get the urge to rewatch The Magicians because it reminds me of when Penny lost the ability to cast with his hands so the Librarians tried to teach him sphincter magic.

whyyy did you have to post this here?

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 2 points 3 days ago

New subclass

Can't believe they didn't call it analmancy

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I should get a copy of this and then become a very specialized fortune teller... 🤔

[–] Edward@lemmy.4d2.org 1 points 4 days ago

There are many of us trying.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think it's a squishbook

FATAL fixes this.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone -4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Is everything in it AI slop, or just the cover image?

[–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 1 points 2 days ago

This is an older book actually, 2019, pre AI slop

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, it was published in 2019 so...

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 0 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Interesting! I wonder what they used for the cover art? Because I would bet on my life this is not a human anus.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

It's probably just a traditional 3D render, it's a pretty simple design honestly.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is the AI in the room with us right now?

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone -5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Are you okay? Sorry if I hurt your feelings by assuming the thing that obviously isn’t a human asshole was AI, when we live in a world swimming in AI slop. I promise to be more judicious in accusing misleadingly labeled images of being AI slop in the future, when in fact they may be photoshop relics of the past, if it will make you feel better.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Have you ever considered that the reason you think we live in a "world swimming in AI slop" is because you falsely assume everything is AI slop?

[–] deafboy@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hold your horses, not everyone around here is a human asshole specialist.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What species' assholes do the rest of them specialise in?

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

Well, now we definitely do.
