Hm. I can't help but kind of like Melcara. Is that bad?

Wait. You're not an actual planty-derived creature? That makes me sad.

If that helps, it doesn't make a lot more sense in context (and that's just glorious!).

It is sad that I've been unable to reverse the effect for several years now; I'm not sure anymore where the line on "actual" is supposed to...
...wait. Is "nouveau plante" a thing, now?

I know my taxonomy. I don't know how nymphs fit into it, though.

Why would you not want to be a planty?

Yes, you sveg [<sine vegetabilitate], it is.
Re: Cursed, of Course: A Fantasy Comic
...Huh, shouldn't there be a new thread by now?

Maybe it's not approved yet. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the moderators forgot this place (the subforum, not the thread) even exists.

You mean besides how I don't accept that relics from cultures so long gone that "consent" isn't even extant, have the right to dictate aspects my identity through force of arms shoots magic thingies? Or that it's unduly difficult to convey solidarity with my people in this form?
If so: the gross divergence in tactile sensations, and how I'm abused by level adjustment stacking (I'm being double-charged for immunity to mind-affecting effects).

Aspects of apparent culture clash are issues as well.
Re: Cursed, of Course: A Fantasy Comic
So I assume we're talking about a magically binding contract? The kind where you've got to be extra careful about the wording.

I know of a librarian who might have something to say on the subject. Probably "ook" though.

It isn't. Nouvelle plante, now that just might be a thing.

Some squeezing is involved.

The lack of mobility?

I feel that latter one! [With wailing lamentations.] Why is being awesome such a great sin that we should be punished for it?

Sounds like, yeah. (But then, maybe it's just something about contracts between the socially privileged carrying a greater weight than promises made to an ambulant skeleton.)

That's why I prefer sticking to the real Latin.

I don't know. Jasdoif seems to have that one covered.

Gameplay mechanics. You'd be just ridiculously overpowered otherwise.
Why am I not allowed to photosynthesize!?
Re: Cursed, of Course: A Fantasy Comic
Anyone knows what happened? This is a pretty long pause...
Re: Cursed, of Course: A Fantasy Comic
Actually there's a second thread. I think Shoreward just forgot to post a link. I didn't know there was one until I checked their profile myself.
