[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 1611177, member: 17691"] In a 3rd edition game recently the PCs kept using the term "spirits" interchangibly while talking about their own souls, the undead, spirit folk (a PC race from the FR Unaproachable East supplement) gods and pretty much anything else they couldn't identify. One of the players in the group is playing an inquisitive but inexperienced gold dragon hatchling. He kept getting confused whenever the other PCs mentioned "spirits" so he asked the PC shaman to explain the word to him. She (the shaman) starts off by trying to explain the concept of a soul, in very simple terms, to the dragon: Shaman: A soul is like an important part of you. Hatchling: (looking at his body) Where is it? Shaman: It's inside you. You can't see it, but it's there. You wouldn't be you without it. Hatchling: (looks doubtful) I don't understand. Shaman: It's just like you arm. Would you still be you if you didn't have your arm? Hatcling: (raises arm and looks at it) Shaman: It's just like having arms. What would you be without arms? Hatchling: Uh... Wyvern. [/QUOTE]
