Rebirth of Destruction Discussion 5
 

Well, seeming as the last one was at 130, here's a new one. And I posted up the ogre/orc/human battle in a bit more detail, although not a ton, and now you three (Biran, FZ, Jad) should know about where you are, and what the situation is. Namely, very hectic.

I wasn't complaining, just pointing out your character. Would have used the name, but I don't remember it... Greg or something, wasn't it?

I know you weren't complaining, I was just saying, so you know that I'm still checking the RP and discussion thread. And yes, his name is Greg.

Sometimes I wonder why I pick such obscure characters (Gnome, Morpher, Mime, etc.)...

Can a vampire digest things?

The whole 'Undead' thing says no, but garlic is pretty worthless as a poison if vampires don't digest (Then they would never eat or drink).

Mainly asking because I was thinking of having Vlad swallow the telekenetic item he got so he can't lose it.

Your supposed to just chuck it at them or make them breathe it.

Ok, a piece of garlic hits the vampire. Big deal. Just hitting them for a second isn't going to make them start to burn or anything.

And the vampire could just not breath, though they would need to know about the garlic before they started to breath it.

Edit - That does mean breathing it in works though.

It's a contact burn. Like holy water I suppose or fairies and iron.

No, that is silver. Garlic is just a poison, like a poison to humans. If some one just through a ball of (solid) poison at you, it would just bounce off. It needs to get into your body some how.

Maybe because they're fun when you have something to do with them... who wouldn't want to be a character whose abilities have an equal chance of blowing them up as they do of working, or a character whose combat is glorified copy-catting? That's some fun stuff there. ...and I don't really know what a morpher is, I assume shape-shifter... and given that assumption I can't think of a funny way to put it.

And IHMN... um, I'm going to say they can sorta digest things. They can't survive off food, but they can drop it in their stomach mulch it up and send it back out one exit or the other. They get no nutrients from it, however. A small amount of food particles may get into the blood stream, but, normally, it would just get expelled after a trip through the circulatory system and not do anything for the vampire.

As for swallowing the psionic thingie... I think either way that might not be the best idea. Having a hunk of whatever bouncing about in your gut would probably be irritating... not to stop you. It just seems like something I wouldn't want to do.

It is the fumes of the garlic that keeps vampires away. And there are such things as airborn toxins that can seep through or effect you at skin level. Garlic is that way to vampires, that's why human always wear it to ward them off, not because of contact burns, but the fumes keep vampires away because it is poisonous to them. That is also why to kill a vampire forever you need to stake it's heart, but you also need to cut off it's head and fill it's mouth with garlic.

Course, I pulled that from Dracula, so I don't know how krylo will handle garlic damage to vamps.

EDIT: Oh, and sorry for giving the Orcs and Ogres a war cry if you meant something specific, I was reading the Warhammer 40K rules for Orks, and was on the page of the "Waaagh!" special skill...

Just the fumes of one thing of garlic won't do much. That would just make the vampire sneeze a lot or something. It was said in the bio a large amount of garlic is needed. Example I had was food, but a vampire could eat something with some garlic seasoning, but they would have an itchy throat.
