Yet Another Attempt at Making BX Fighters Less Boring

Or YAAAMBXFLB for short it my method of making fighters for anything BX derived more interesting mechanically. 

I lied this isn't actually about making fighters less boring. The trick to fixing fighters is to not give a shit about Making BX Fighters Less Boring but instead differentiating weapons more beyond mere damage dice.

Here is an expanded quality list for BX weapons.

This blogpost was inspired by the wonderful 5e D&D third party product Beyond Damage Dice by James Haeck, Wolfgang Baur, and Scott Gable.

400 New Patches For Mothership

 As someone who collects patches, I love the random patch generator. I decided to think up 400 more to have an even more varied set of outcomes for character creation. These compiled with the ones from the core book can make a d500 Chart for patches.  6 Fingered Hand Abstract Eyeball A Cat Ace of Spades A Cigarette Carton A Dog A Dragon Backpatch Aleph A Meaningless Set of Hanzi Anarchist Star Anatomical Heart Angel Wings Back Patch An Icecream Cone with Rainbow Rings A pair of Dentures A Skull with an Extra Eye Socket Ass A steak covering half of a bruised face.
