  1. Re: Fantasy Art Thread Your pencil work is stunning. Must spread rep, yadda yadda. Lots of great work in that link you sent. I really like your improved version for panel 2 on the first page by the way. I think it's what jumped out at me the most.

  4. Re: Hydra and Multi-Headed Monsters Then you need to do whatever you feel is appropriate for a heavily stunned Hydra head. I would suggest the head be indefinitely incapacitate, but not spawn a new head, otherwise it becomes very difficult to beat the Hydra. /shrug. I would give it as many duplicate heads as felt appropriate.
  5. Re: many wolves > one chimaera O.o You wrote: Except you didn't have asterisks in it. Personally, I'm not offended, but some might be. Old Man is just looking out for you so you don't get in trouble by violating forum rules.
  6. Re: Superpowers and Ethics This is a great real-world example. As far as any of us know, this is real life and not a game. If it were a game, then there could be a character sheet somewhere with powers describing how the gun works. That build of the gun does not describe the ethical nature of the gun. Only the specifics of use of the gun can be used to determine the ethics related to said use. If we are in fact in a game world, I've been seriously blowing my Persuasion rolls.
  7. Re: Superpowers and Ethics Absolutely not. I never suggested anything of the sort. Whether or not you get caught or can get caught has nothing to do with ethics. I was simply agreeing with Hugh's statement that what you do, not how you define the ability in game terms is what defines the ethical nature of the action. For example, if I convince a 5 year old running a lemonade stand that they should give me all their lemonade for free, and they think it's a good idea because of how persuasive I am, it would be unethical. This is regardless of whether or not anyone ever finds out. It's unethical because I took advantage of someone unfairly, irrespective of whether I did so because I have a 19- in Trading, or Persuasion, or a 20d6 Mind Control. The action is unethical, not how the ability is defined in game terms.
  8. Re: Why there is no Gulo Gulo in bestiary(ies)? According to "Squirrels: the animal answer guide", in 2001 the US had over 2.1 million registered squirrel hunters. Wolverine hunting is a little harder to find, but according to this site (http://www.currentresults.com/Wildlife/Endangered-Species/Endangered-Mammals/wolverine-709211.php) it's estimated that there are only between 15,000 and 19,000 left in Canada. Add in what the US has and I'm sure you're still a LOT less than the number of squirrels. I submit there are therefore fewer wolverine hunters. So, given those stats, maybe it is more likely to fight a squirrel than a wolverine With regards to pigeons, I've personally shot more off my roof with a pellet gun than the number of wolverines I've ever seen
  9. Re: Superpowers and Ethics Who said it did? That sounds more like a limitation than the SFX What if it does? What if the prophet of the lord doesn't even know it's happening, is it still unethical? The SFX define it as the Lord protecting him. From a game mechanics standpoint, the power emanates from him, because that's how the game is defined. From the character's world standpoint, the power emanates from the Lord. Where do the ethics of the power lie now? Maybe not different, but more effective. Why would that not be possible? The ethics of using it are no different than using Persuasion.
