According to Dante he was erased from the space time continuum, sort of like Balefire from Wheel of Time. No inconveniences to him as far as I can see, as he just went to sleep in the middle of the battle field, and will probably wake up at full strength.

So far, the only other "liberties" I've seen taken with your character are that he burst his way out of a rockslide, and fought against Chikane.

Yes, Skull pointed out the problems very well. Now, I shall describe my little take on Pattern Spider Touch, despite not having E: Sidereals on me...

Dante's character essentially removed Garud from the tapestry of fate. Just up and annihalated him from existance *IN CREATION*. Now, the way Garud's character is, I don't think he's actually part of creation or inside the boundaries of fate anyway, as he seems to be a demonic good/chaos creature/thing/ect (He won't say, so I don't know). And thus, he is removed from fate, but not erased from existance.

Logically, Garud should be returned to his home plane, removed from the destiny he is supposed to be part of, and lose his ancestral (Re: Godlike) powers, retaining only his personal magic, wherefore he can return to the RP from a very long ways away. No more voices in your head or jedi-style visions and the like, simply what your character is, a demon sorceror. No infinate experience through god knows how many iterations of Garuds in the past.

I'm sure this is a solution we can all agree on, because quite personally, I was rather pleased to see Dante do what he did.

well depends is dante's character practicing name magic?

Dante · 08-12-2005, 08:08 PM

Essentially - the Charcoal March of Spiders was developed by reality ninjas who oversee the Loom of Fate, which spins destiny out for every living being in the world, and they emulated the pattern spiders who actually weave fate on the Loom.

So yeah, it's roughly the equivalent of name magic.

Firstly, Garud, you normally wouldn't report things like that. You'd go to the GM and if the GM decides he'd rather have your character dead than alter events via great GM power, you're screwed. We enforce rules like flaming not whether or not you can be allowed into (or out of) a game.

Besides any mod who's RPed and bothered to read the entirity of what was going on in the discussion and RP threads would probably be more likely to warn you for bugging us about your inability to keep yourself on a leash than do anything to Dante... not that we'd bother with that, either.

This is something Raiden can and should handle, and quite frankly I'm mildly annoyed that it has to go all over the (RP) forum.

Edit: In fact, I'm putting a stop to this. No more discussing this at all until Raiden deals with it.

Squishy Cheeks · 08-12-2005, 08:41 PM

well if it's name magic then the worst you could do to him is take his name.

Sorry to jump in here, Krylo, but it has to be said. Regardless of what Dante felt was right to do in this circumstance, roleplaying another persons character without consent is considered a big no-no in roleplaying terms. I do NOT want to see this again from ANYONE. Whoever does so will be met with a temporary, if not permanent ban.

***RaiRai*** · 10-04-2005, 02:39 PM

That's not really a question that can be answered here, as this is not the DnD thread. Also, those kind of things, unless stated in a players guide, are upto the DM's choice of what damage they deal and if they're an acceptable weapon.

***RaiRai*** · 10-05-2005, 02:58 PM

You never actually stated which game you required this information from, so it was safe to automatically assume that using the phrase 'DM' meant it was DnD format. No need to get so snooty, and unless you intend to actually tell us what information you require specifically and for what roleplay specifically, I'll be happy to delete the past few posts.

I have designed a campaign setting. I wish to run an RP in it.
It's... different. I'd need to post some of my notes for anyone to be able to design a character for it.
But my notes are... long. I'd probably need to post about seven pages worth of text (MS Word reckoning) for anyone to be able to actually RP effectively, and about ten for anybody to do a particularly good job of it.
Should I go for it or no, and if so, where should I post this source material?
