So, no, you are not understanding me.I'll try to make it clearer:It is my impression that you say that the pictures in the PH don't convey a sense of the people in the pictures being in a seriously threatening situation, thereby implying that no harm can befall pcs.I then say, well, the fact that they are armed is a message to the viewer that they are planning to, about to, or even in some cases in the middle of engaging in a seriously threatening situation. So a pc should expect harm to befall them as well.In the case of the PH pictures, I don't think it's subtle at all. They've got huge fricking axes and armor and stuff, and probably the most common reation for most people looking at the picture is to assume that they are carrying all that stuff because they are afraid of being killed or otherwise harmed without them.As for you hypothetical picture, I don't perceive anything at all. I only offer other hypothetical ways that could imbue a picture such as the one you describe with meanings other than "no threat".EDIT:BTW, I see you're still jumping to outrageous conclusions. Look, this isn't a debate about logical reasoning. It doesn't follow that I would think a blank sheet an illustration of a serious threat to the pcs, just because I could theoretically conceive of a picture with the fully armed iconics among bunnies and flowers with a threatening undertone./M</blockquote>
