: Please, please, don't encourage me to explain my
: arguments in *more* depth. The poor c.b.org server
: can't handle that much load...
I believe it
: That's what I was suggesting, yeah. And count
: Soulblighter in there too, probably--he was Unliving
: back in TFL, as we can see from his being damaged by
: healing. He may have somehow made himself into a truly
: living immortal being by Myth II--since he's lost the
: heal vulnerability--but I think it's more likely that
: he simply gained the magical might to counter that
: particular weakness, as the Shades did. The unique
: όber-powerful guys like him tend to break outside all
: the categories.
hmm mb we can place him and the other όber guys in the category just for them: όber-ness category ;)
: Yeah, but whose point of view is Myth told from? :-) WE
: think we and the other races are alive. But maybe the
: Trow didn't agree, back in the day. For the first
: million years or so of their existence, the only life
: forms they'd encountered were the Elder Races, which I
: suspect to have been sexless, ageless, and largely
: inorganic, just like the Trow themselves. Humans and
: Dwarves would have represented a form of life so
: strange and different that it could hardly be
: considered life at all.
ahh well technically the Manual (not the narration) isn't told in either perspective: it is an objective point of view which says things like "you are the Light..." and "you must stop the minions of the Dark..." so technically when this objective source lists humans and fir'Bolgs and Dwarves as Living, then they should be considered so in at least more than four points of view. plus the Myrmidons want to tear the flesh of the living, which means they, being in a state of Unbeing, and also being Dark, consider the humans and fir'bolgs and dwarves to be Living.
plus, there is no evidence that the trow consider us to be unalive. it is not known the trow made the humans or even the Oghres for that matter... all that is known is that the Trow enslaved the oghres, who were creations of Wyrd considered by the trow to be lesser.
Wyrd makes Living things, Nyx makes trowy clay things that are alive too but in a different manner. the dream of unlife warps the life of Wyrd creations into a state of unbeing but evidence it has any effect on the trow is nonexistent.
: Or else he wielded a suite of spells that were designed
: to exploit the properties of the Tain continuum, but
: were effectively useless elsewhere.
that too makes sense either way, whether it was a mundo dream he used or a bunch of spells, i'm guessing they have been lost or destroyed.
: Chalk it up next to the other ten thousand life-saving
: chance events in TFL. :-)
lol i know...TFL was a great game to play, so desperate and so hopeless, M2 didn't have that magic. though M2 was technically a better game, some of the magic wasn't there
