[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 6724541"] I didn't actually know the John Henry Irons story, but I just Googled it. How is there a comparison here? Superman saved his life, and then told him to "live a life worth saving", and he made new decisions. But where did that bestow any special abilities or powers on J.H.I.? Where is the equivalence to Inspirational Healing and restored HP? (It's possible that JHI was injured as part of this scene and that wasn't included in the synopsis I read.) To make a D&D comparison, if another character used his magical abilities to save my character's life, and in return said "Fight evil wherever you find it" and that I therefore decide to change my alignment and multi-class into Paladin, that's totally cool. The other character's encouragement didn't actually force any kind of mental change on me; he was roleplaying, and I was roleplaying. [/QUOTE]
