[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7806151, member: 29398"] Exactly. In a large part it's a game of luck (that's why we have dice) - and sooner or later everyone's going to die; and that's why the game has revival-from-death mechanics built into its core. Now if revival mechanics didn't exist then I'd be closer to agreement with you, though even then I'd posit that random chance and sheer bad luck will every now and then have their say. And I say this as a player who has a track record of losing more characters than just about anyone else in our crew. :) All of which make fighting the Medusa that much more difficult, particularly if you're running a game that doesn't have blindfighting as a 'thing'. But yes, I'd say a blindfold is effective until-unless the Medusa does something about it e.g. tries to remove it...though if she does that means she's close enough to stick a sword into... :) [/QUOTE]
