Funnily enough, a critical success has the same result, as above, but you are in charge (ie dominate) of the relationship. 

 

Can you name a single instance in mythology in which Zeus was dominated by one of his paramours? Even Hera couldn't pull that off.

 

EDIT: Okay, technically Thyone did get Zeus to swear to grant her whatever she desired, but thanks to Hera's deception that didn't work out well for her.

Sorry, not the Okaarans. Starfire was captured by the Gordanians, reptilians with three-fingered hands who at the time were slavers and enforcers for the Citadel Empire, dominating the Vega star system.

 

The Okaarans, aka the Warlords of Okaara, were masters of all the martial arts and sciences, on the one world of Vega that was not subject to the Citadel.

 

There are reasons I love these forums.  Lord Liaden is among them.

       Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding....We have a winner!    You Milord get the above named prizes and a months supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat. (At least that’s the name “she” gives the cops.)

I didn’t post, but looked it up earlier this morning, approx 5 hours ago (6 am) from the DC wikia.
 

I’m glad now as I would want that prize.

You guys are missing the point.   This is a 20-sided rock crystal die with Greek lettering that's 2,000 years old! It's gaming, and it's Roman history! Having that would be next-level geek cred.

 

 

Sure, but given its age and price, it will only be a very expensive paperweight. I like to play with my toys.

I've got a lovely moss agate d20 that I'd like to use more but I'm paranoid of chipping...

I buy cheap dice so that when they betray me, I can perform the rituals of degradation and destruction in front of the others without worrying about the sunk cost of the dice who have earned my wrath.

Are you the guy who microwaved his d20 after rolling too many 1s?

      You just have to do it once in front of the others to show ‘em who’s boss.

What is your preferred instrument of retaliation? Hydraulic press? Sledgehammer? Butane torch? Tetrahydrofuran?

No; that often damages the microwave oven.  Ideally I would want to use a big Fresnel lens and concentrate sunlight which would do the melting/burning, which has the major plus of increasing the terror since the victim and audience can watch the inexorable advance of the killing beam.  Unfortunately, several problems with the concept: Takes a big lens to get enough power; a single set-up won't work for every occasion as the Sun moves north & south seasonally; here in the Pacific Northwet it can go months between adequately clear days for the burning, making the Tomorrow, at high noon sentence impossible to pronounce meaningfully. That last means that even making a big heliostat isn't a viable option.

 

So, it's the cheap charcoal/lots of lighter fluid/cheap rusty old Steel BBQ of DOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM......

Chances are you can use this, if no other reason than inspiration, in a fantasy campaign, perhaps others as well.

[Logan D. Hurricanes]

Pretty sure I've seen that on Doctor Who.

I once created a dungeon level where that scene would fit, but most of its denizens, once they recognized alien intruders, would go militant and start chanting, "Mag-ma MAN-ia.  Mag-ma MAN-ia."  And there was something like a regiment of them....
