[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7537688, member: 82504"] Stream of consciousness attempt to spark new ideas Wrestling Death is a bit of gateway idea as I try to figure out epic practices which involve branching into mythic things which demi-gods do. I sort of thought of having some sort of story side gateway on wrestling death where you learn combat medic or the like and start seeing death around the edges of your natural perception start imagining/seeing shadows over the dying and similar What about the other horsemen? Fighting/adventuring types have more intimate connections to death than they do disease and starvation but then again what about War? or isnt disease just a dark side of Nature? In Gilgamesh we have a rather extreme case of wrestling/intimidate forces of nature with physical prowess they amount to things, like volcanos, storms and such - this is also Akin to somebody like Pecos Bill lassoing Volcanos. What if adventuring in elemental planes and fighting such things awakens the perception wrt to more normal manifestations. Can you diplomacy the thunderstorm into breaking the drought? Do you end up in battle with desert demons by doing so? Do heroes end up fighting elementals because they change as they become epic or does there own more potent presence bring physicality to otherwise mystic and symbolic things? Splitting the mountain allows one egress/exit but what about constructing and levying ... Can I build that mountain chain when I tamed the earth horse that primordial elemental I ride as a mount now. Big side effects like big area of effects are the stuff of epic (D&D keeping things to fit on a battle board fights me) Engineering (the replacement for Dungeoneering) skills and Bluff gives one the Trojan Horse.
