Elan's Magic: the Gathering

[b_jonas]

It's not really canon, but in a forum post, Giant has described how he imagines the second fight between Miko and the order which is now shown in #251, and in this post he says "Elan casts an illusion of what he pictures Lord Shojo to look like".

Hi Kurald, did you do all of these??

absolutely awesome, such a fine attention for detail. Kudos, sir.

Thanks! Yes, and I've been meaning to do an expansion set at some point about DSTP and the current book

Quoth dtilque:

If the reverse trope (attractive male to distract a female) had ever been used, I would have labeled that illusion "male".

Which would almost certainly be moot, because Elan himself is already quite possibly the most attractive male in his world. Or at least, very close to it; Tarquin and Julio Scoundrel are contenders (though with them aging, Elan may have overtaken them).

'Ey, what about Xykon?

Nice series: conceptually sound, picked good quotes, and actually would be interesting to play.

Does the Charisma score decrease with aging in D&D? I don't think it does, but could be wrong.

Anyway, this wouldn't apply to non-humanoid creatures, and probably not to many humanoid races, e.g. Dwarfs.

As far as the Tsukiko-Xykon thing, individual idiosyncrasies (which Tsukiko's necrophilia would be an excellent example of if he'd ever tried this tactic on her) are why it never works.

In fact it increases.

CHA can be a lot more than how you look.

CHA can be a lot more than how you look.

Judging by how it is described in the Player's Handbook Charisma must always be influenced by factors other than physical attractiveness. The implication is that physical attractiveness is not even the most important single factor influencing Charisma.

Those are AWESOME.

I know it's nitpicking, but shouldn't Haley have "gain control of" feather than destroy? But yeah, totally proxying these in for my next game.

She sells the loot, hence "draw a card". Gaining control of artifacts is more of a Blue ability, and Haley clearly isn't Blue.

bump to get this to the first page.

update to #1071

Is there a way to change the thread's subject line? I'd like to mark it as an index thread.

[littlebum2002]

Yes. Edit the first post and there will be an option a the top to change the title.

[dtilque]

Yes. Edit the first post and there will be an option a the top to change the title.

I did do that. It changed the title of the first post, but not the subject line that shows up on the list of threads in the forum. I expect I'll have to get a moderator to change it.

Only in the firs ~30 days of a thread's existance, IIRC. It'll probably have to wait 'til your next iteration.

You do it by editing the first post, and changing its title.

Edit: you might still be able to tag it, though. I think there is no time limit to adding tags to a thread.

It should be noted that this thread is technically a violation of Necroposting, since it had been inactive for 3 years before dtilque bumped it just to get it on the first page.

If TPTB want to shut it down, it's their right. I won't argue with them. The reason for the long time between postings is because Elan just doesn't cast spells very often. He's on a recent tear, so to speak, with the mending, healing and minor (lesser) confusion spells. We'll have to see if it continues.

This is an index thread, but it was started before they added the prefix feature to the forum software. I'd like to add the index-prefix, but apparently there's no way without starting a new thread. If TPTB want me to do that, I will.
