[quote=WilsonTurner] No....That's actually a good idea.Head towards the mountain- say a roar caught her ear, and she wanted to see what it was. Then you could fight EmFell, who would beat you but not kill you, and then you can listen to reason. Good, yeah? You get beaten for the first time ever, and EmFell prevents another race from going extinct because they wouldn't change their ways. [/quote] I like this idea [quote=Bearsworth] Problem: Shax fights to the death. If she gets beaten, she expects to be dead, if she's not dead, she'll keep fighting until she is or her enemy is. Or the enemy runs away. Being 'beaten' won't make her listen to reason, it'll make one of them dead. (Pretty sure Shax doesn't have the same concept of 'reason' as most do anyway.)It'd be damn great if I could tone her down, but from what she's shown so far I don't know how it's possible. She's already made it clear to them that she'll fight anyone and anything just because they're there, so toning it down from that without redacting everything she's done so far doesn't seem possible.She's been doing what she does for a long, long time and still isn't bored of it. Why would she need to make friends to have fun? She could just as easily fight the 'friends' for her pleasure instead of telling jokes.Also, didn't Zmerr say that every character CAN die? Including your 'goddess'? Because I mean, she isn't actually a goddess anymore, she's banished. [/quote] At this point, I'm not concerned about how she's shown herself. The player can make the character be what they want it to be.[quote=Bearsworth] Threatening to burn an Infernus Demon to death is like threatening to drown a mermaid. [/quote] Use water
