Ow! I deserved it though. Looking at that search tab there are all kinds of options that I wanted. So to reiterate, I am a dumbass.
I'm a grade A dumbass. I see now. I always just typed in the search field and wanted to sort afterward if necessary. I never noticed the search tab, which after being here for almost a year ya'd think that I would. *takes palm strikes forehead, Hard*
Almost seems to me that (on the logic that they are "outside" and therefore completely unrelated to the laws of reality we are used to) pure magic would be the ONLY thing that would be effective against them. "Fuego" should fail to harm them because it's working on the logic that fire is hot and burns things, as would real fire, which IS hot and burns things. Outsiders aren't things though. They're something totally different. They don't obey the rules of our reality, and the only other thing in the Dresdenverse that doesn't follow the rules is magic.
If I was to try and come up with something to hurt a being that doesn't conform to our laws, I would probably just try to make it not be, attack it on the fundamental level of existence, which is something you can only really do with magic. I guess in WoD:Mage terms we'd be talking about Prime, or the Negative Energy spells from DnD. Something that just unmakes something rather than trying to harm it and stop it from functioning.
Right, but again they were dealing with a lot of Outsiders and Red Court Vamps. If you were only dealing with one Outsider it may not take as many.
Do they do take-out?
Yes, there's nothing like vampire tenders with a good Szechuan dipping sauce.
)Okay, then can I have their emergency contact information so they can come save me when an Outsider shows up?
Makes me glad that in RPGs the general rule of thumb is that the rules are Guidelines and not carved in stone.
Please be aware though that I am not arguing that a raw rank apprentice should be involved in this kind of study. I can see the Merlin and Senior Council believing that only someone who is already very well grounded and stable, with decent experience, should be involved in this kind of research. But if they are going to ban all research then I sincerely hope that they are making information available on what defenses do work.
Getting back on topic. I would love to be part of the testing but I have no group to play with. I just moved to Vermilion Ohio and really don't know any other gamers here. So any other players near Cleveland or Sandusky? I am right in the middle between those cities. I have been an RPG player since 1979 starting with the Original D&D box set. I have played and been game master using the following systems.
Arduin
Champions
D&D original
AD&D First edition, second edition
Star Wars
Gamma World
Harnmaster
Rune Quest
Battle Tech
Vampire the Masquerade
Phil Phoglio (www.airshipbooks.com if ya dont know who im talking about) tried to 'sex up' zombies to be like anne rice vampires in a strip a few years ago. It was hilaroius.
The only difference between zombies and vampies is freel will:
Zombi " Brainss..."
Vampire " Bloood. But first, I shall eat this waffle."
I don't know if this will help Lord Nedd, but if you go into your profile and click on "view stats" that might give you the information that you require. I can't access the site from another window to check, so I fear this site may be going down as I post.
