C. Blend right in with the Lebendtod.NeoTiamat wrote:...interestingly, if Jacky just wandered around the Market without any head at all, that would:
A. Be not much stranger than anything else there.
B. Turn out to be remarkably effective at keeping anyone from connecting the headless person to Ms. Montarri of the Red Vardo Traders.
I think this is one of the biggest controls: absolute lack of privacy. This gives me the feeling that I want for the MM, where it's known all over among evil critters, but most of them find it distateful.NeoTiamat wrote:One thought, which might help with the whole "why doesn't everyone us it", is that there's always a bigger fish.
By her most recent rules, in Gaz I, if she walks around headless, she starts to accrue negative levels herself. These are healed when she dons a new head, but I could see why she'd be reluctant to risk it.DeepShadow of FoS wrote:We have a winnah! I was figuring for the head-under-arm pose a la Marie Antoinette, but I love the idea of Jackie going totally headless. It even conserves the negative levels she gives her heads.
In her headless form, she doesn't have any spellcasting ability anyway, but if she took the time to learn some (which seems out of character considering her easy access to other heads that can do it for her), it would be rather foolish of her not to learn the silent spell feat as soon as possible.For that matter, I suppose Jackie could use an illusion to do the same among mortals, by not wearing a head at all. Of course, it had better have auditory components....
Well, I was one of the first to object to it being a domain at all. I've mellowed on the concept since, but I still run it as a no-man's land that it outside of all domains. The metaphysics of the demiplane really need a few exceptions IMHO, or they get in the way of a good story. I'd consider it as a Fracture or a Mistway or an Oubliette before a domain. Oubliette would be the simplest; it's already the exception to the rule that all real estate needs a DL. No muss, no fuss. No need for Jeremy at all.brilliantlight wrote:Unless I missed it there isn't much said about the Darklord Jeremy himself and I would like to know more. What is his background story? Why did killing Emily attract the attention of the DP enough for them to create his domain? He seems a fairly weak willed Dark Lord (Which is fine) because he let's someone hijack his nightmare, is it this weakness that helped him attract the attention of the DP?
I really like the idea of the domain , I just would like to know more about its Dark Lord.
