[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 7984339, member: 4881"] It might be best to explain my position with a real-world example Coroc: Hey Sabathius42, want to play in my DnD campaign? Sabathuis42: Sure [I]assumes we are playing DnD, makes a gnome necromancer wizard[/I] Coroc: OK, on the way to slaughter the rats you are sucked into an unholy vortex and you find yourself in a different world. Sabathius42: Oh man, this is going to be rough and dangerous. I cast False Life on myself in case there is trouble. Mistwell: Good call, I ready my shield and draw my sword just in case. Coroc: Sabathius42, as the energies of the False Life course through your body you can feel yourself twisting and altering. When you look down you have goat hooves for feet. Mistwell, you are fine. Sabathius42: WTF? [I]later[/I] Sabathius42: Those villagers are really giving me the smackdown, I cast Vampiric Ray to get back some HP. Mistwell: I'll drink my healing potion. Coroc: Sabathius42, you once again feel the evil twisting inside of your body. You look down and now you have bloody red skin from head to toe. You are now going to automatically Frighten any villagers that see your exposed skin. Mistwell, you heal 14 damage. [I]later[/I] Sabathius42: My mutated three headed daemonic gnome necromancer sneaks off behind the tree line to off himself. He can no longer live in this godforsaken world. Coroc: As the stake smashes your heart you yearn to feel the sweet release of death. After a few moments you realize that death and release does not come so easily. You now have the Zombie template. Mistwell: Sweet, I found this awesome sword! ******************************* In an alternate reality ******************************* Coroc: Hey Sabathius42, want to play in my DnD campaign? Its an alternate setting where dark choices by the player characters will haunt them and where you can't just fight your way to winning everything? Sabathius42: Sure. Sounds like I probably don't want to play a necromancer in that place...i'm going to go with a Fighter to avoid magic, it always seems a little dark to me. [/QUOTE]
