“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

Re: OotS Evil Afterlife: Humans and Non-Humans
Well, yes, but that's mostly because I've decided to make an Alfredo sauce tonight.
If they've been to hell and are still in front of me, I'm going to assume a higher threat level than I would if they had not been to hell. Either they got back by themselves or have powerful friends, and neither scenario tends to scream "weak person."Last edited by Peelee; 2017-10-26 at 05:44 PM.

Re: OotS Evil Afterlife: Humans and Non-Humans
Oh undoubtedly they'd prefer total agency - but if the choice is being a voice in a vampire's head until merging, or eternal torture, they'd probably pick the former, is all I'm saying.
Indeed.
He might not be as strong as they were in life, but he's still "in the game" (and can keep getting stronger - as we saw at Kraagor's Gate) while they've already lost. So his contempt for them is understandable.Plague Doctor by Crimmy

Re: OotS Evil Afterlife: Humans and Non-Humans
Sure, but this all kind of wanes as a character gains levels. The advantages of being a lich are far greater at lvl 11 than at lvl 25. If one allows epic rules, one might even consider any template with an LA to be a serious handicap, because it drastically increases what's needed in order to gain more epic perks. Lich is a +4 LA! Takes the same xp for a human to get to level 24 than for a human lich to get to level 20... The XP required to go from 20 to 24 is the same as is required to go from 1 to 14, basically.
So while, sure, in a way, between a human sorcerer and a human lich sorcerer, one might assume the lich has an advantage, but on the other hand, given how rare and hard grinding to and past epic is, between an epic human sorcerer and an epic human lich sorcerer, odds are the non-lich would actually be tougher, if one assumes the world doesn't have any (or many) level 25+ (or equivalent LA) characters running around.Attention LotR fans
Spoiler: LotRThe scouring of the Shire never happened. That's right. After reading books I, II, and III, I stopped reading when the One Ring was thrown into Mount Doom. The story ends there. Nothing worthwhile happened afterwards. Middle-Earth was saved.
