a little more hijack
"maiden-eating unicorns"
that's an interesting twist!
"...flaming high fey, Freud,.."
hehe the close position of these to words and the first thing that comes to mind when I see "flaming..fey" strikes me as rather ironic.
Not to be starting a whole nother OT discussion (or the promotion of "phobic streotypes" no offnse meant to anybody!
), just as a freqeunt dwarf player I enjoy ribbing my fellow elf players about being "flaming fey" hehe.
I'm sure you use it as meaning "fiery"
That's a nice bit about the moon's phases and the female cycle.
To get back on topic...uhhhmm...
How about just requiring the use of weapons that have been anointed/sprinkled in holy water and blessed by a priest?
I like the fairy tale stuff though, it seems harmonious with the devils and demons having a 'different than D&D" relationship.
But that of course is just IMHO.
So I guess there are a few themse to work with.
pseudo Western Religious, Fairy Tale, and
Sword and Sorcery-High Fantasy.
