[QUOTE="James Heard, post: 4123226, member: 7280"] [sblock=Stonegod]Geez Stonegod, making Janis more crazy than she already is? Why do you hate Barovia so much? ;) How [I]much [/I]more aggressive should Janis be? Alignment's always been an issue for the thing... can she still vent her rages conversationally, or is she going to be cutting b#$%es up? The werewolf thing, is she now depraved enough that she's no longer spending AP's to resist it? Does this mean Janis can take her next level in Fighter, or some sort of cutting people up class? Being a pretty tightly controlled (some might claim, um, wound up) individual, is she going to notice that she's a teensy bit more bloodthirsty than she (me, her conscience, thinking "Gosh, she needs to get pulled back a bit before she poisons the party.") has been explicitly trying to reign back from? Part of me says that Ireena better start sleeping with scissors under the pillow or something, because a more aggressive Janis is a hair away from a NE Janis. Reigning in her overt aggression, and trying to give her some sort of focus other than abusing people with words, has really been the only thing I've been relying on to distinguish her from a villain. It's not like she [i]likes[/i] anyone but the bear. She feels [I]responsible [/I]for the villagers, and they somewhat simplify her complicated motivations when I'm writing her, but she could just as easily be their dark overlord as some sort of folk hero. If this keeps up I'm going to end up figuring an angle to Paladin her just to protect the world from the dark urges I've apparently wrote into her enough that just a little tipping point starts snowballing like this.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
