Ambiguously Gendered Revenge of "What is the Hivemind?"

[Kemrain]

"Kemrain, you're missing the point. What will stop evil folk from using this poison to take advantage of a girl like me? Make me totally powerless against them because that is what I would be." Lasair says gently.

I'd like to believe that you wouldn't be totally powerless without psionics. It isn't as if you don't have a body, or skills, and you aren't incapable of solving problems without manifesting. You'd be in the same boat as everyone else, after that. Only it would last for 24 hours, and you'd be fine again. If it caused cerebral hemmoraging and caused a prolonged painful death, I'd agree with you, but it's designed to neutralize a threat, not prevent you from taking action at all.

Then again, what's to stop someone from using psionics to render you totally helpless? Should psionics be prohibited because they can do such things?

Well, yes. I think we have more awesomeness per capita than most places, though.

no we don't, 2/3rds of the members don't even post...that's not awesome

... Don't be mean to your hero.

Mean? Who's mean? I'm just sayin' that if I was a mad scientist bent on taking over the world, clones of my hero would be the preffered method. That's all I'm sayin'!

... You don't have to post to be awesome. I'm sure there are awesome lurkers. If they read the Rules thread, they're learning a lot about the Rules -- more than they could learn in most places on the internet. That's pretty awesome.

"I can easily defend against the sword. Once a man with dirty thoughts slips me this poison in my drink, though, there is nothing I can do against a DC 30 Fortitude save..."

Am I to believe there are no psionic means of detecting poison?

Clones of me wouldn't assist a mad scientist in taking over the world. We'd do it ourselves.

lurkers are by definition not awesome. In fact, I'd bet that there might be only a dozen true awesome people on the boards. Awesome has been downgraded over the years, but I'm talking about the true defintion.

ya, but yours was so better. It actually has use in game.

Yep. That and it made the girls the youngest published d20 game authors. I really have to do some research to see if they are the youngest RPG game authors also.
