[QUOTE="Heylel Teomim, post: 361168, member: 3523"] [b].[/b] Havent read the whole thread yet, if this is repetetive, skip it. Nathaneal, you're worried about bad publicity... but that doesn't really exist. A sealed section just makes the logged off script kiddies who are picking up the magazine ooh and aah over it, and take it home to sneak it upstairs. 95% of parents who let their kids play dnd wont pay any attention, and the other 5% would freak if they knew their kid played dnd at all. Anyone older ought to be able to handle it. Yeah, its gross. Frankly I dont find it very entertaining or useable in my dnd games. I just dont make necrophilia a priority :D . However, some people do go alot farther with the splat factor in their games, and that's who WotC is writing to. I like the maggot spell. I like the blood boil spell etc. Maggots have a certain symbolic rottenness that helps represent the disgusting depths a necromancer is willing to sink to, and boiling someone's blood is just well... it sounds cool. Sure makes Finger of Death seem tame. Nothing about DnD is inoffensive to people who would cry out against it. If you sum it up, its pretty darn antisocial. A bunch of guys sit down in someone's house and spend the next several hours discussing theft, murder, the occasional bit of human consumption (giants etc eat people ya know), demonology, alchemy and sorcery. The TAMEST thing that happens in a dnd game is when someone steals something, and that's definitely frowned upon irl. Even a paladin is out shedding blood in the name of his god. A pagan one at that.
