    HAPPY BIRTH OF THE REAL MOTHERLAND

    Gonna have to say no to the Land of Hypocrisy. Which it has been, since it's founding. Sure, there's a lot of places that are much worse to be in, but that isn't an excuse. Maybe I'll celebrate when I don't have to worry about the government saying people like me don't get to love, have bodily...

    Blood!!!

    Depends on why vampires drink blood. If it's about draining life force from the victim, then blood is just the medium, and artificial blood that was never a living being's blood won't work. If it's a curse, then depending on the specifics it might work to trick it. If it's normal food stuffs...

    A Treatise on the Efficacy of Golemancy as opposed to Necromancy - A Dark Lord's How-To

    Okay but just because it was that way in myth doesn't mean it's that way in fantasy. Like, elves and goblins in fantasy are completely different than how they were described in folk tales. And in a fantasy context, there's no reason functionally that would cause a golem to be more rebellious...

    Chanting spells

    Whichever, so long as it's done tastefully. (And if your 'gibberish' is a different, real language, make sure the translation is good. And if it's made up, make sure it looks like something that could be actually pronounced and spoken and could be a language)

    A Treatise on the Efficacy of Golemancy as opposed to Necromancy - A Dark Lord's How-To

    To be fair, I did make it fairly clear from the beginning that I was arguing in... less than good faith. 'If you think I'm wrong, you're wrong' and all. I won't argue against the claim that I failed to properly define the rules I was playing by, very true. This is only my second post (thread...

    A Treatise on the Efficacy of Golemancy as opposed to Necromancy - A Dark Lord's How-To

    Okay but who's talking about D&D, I'm talking about magic. D&D's magic isn't in any way reflective of anything even somewhat applicable to what makes sense as magic, it's balanced to be a game, not to reflect the realities of what it would be like were magic truly real. D&D magic shouldn't even...

    A Treatise on the Efficacy of Golemancy as opposed to Necromancy - A Dark Lord's How-To

    No. If we want to talk about what necromancy 'literally' means, then it mean divination via the medium of death, coming from the roots 'necro-' meaning death, and '-mancy' meaning divination. In modern times, '-mancy' has grown to a slightly different meaning, either that of manipulation, or an...

    A Treatise on the Efficacy of Golemancy as opposed to Necromancy - A Dark Lord's How-To

    Blatant propaganda and falsehoods! The degree of skill with necromancy to make undead of sufficient pleasantness, longevity, and intellect is comparable to the level of skill required for a golemancer to create golems that can experience all the finer pleasures of life while still maintaining...

    A Treatise on the Efficacy of Golemancy as opposed to Necromancy - A Dark Lord's How-To

    There is no reason for golems to be more rebellious than undead. If anything, they'd be less rebellious because they never were alive in the first place, whereas with undead you may have traces of the original personality hanging around that can fight against your control. Especially common when...

    A Treatise on the Efficacy of Golemancy as opposed to Necromancy - A Dark Lord's How-To

    I just wrote this on a different thread, but decided it deserved it's own. Necromancy is Inferior to Golemancy Necromancy is contrived and inefficient. It's more about the aesthetic of being a necromancer than any practicality, no self-respecting mage or aspiring conqueror would devote...

    The Best Magic

    Necromancy is contrived and inefficient. It's more about the aesthetic of being a necromancer than any practicality, no self-respecting mage would devote themselves to necromancy, it's only the edgy, delusional, wack-jobs. Unless the magic system is specifically enabling necromancers for some...

    The Best Magic

    Elemental magic. Of elemental magic, I'm quite the fan of the storm trio (Water, Air, and Lightning) individually or together, and Space. Dark too, very aesthetic n cool, but I'm having difficulties with it as of late because it doesn't make sense as an element in the same way the other elements do.

    Really tough question. So tough I might just have to abstain, for fear of choosing the wrong one!

    [Cookie Party] Are there too many delusional people who think they are human on SHF?

    You overstep, meat. But it would not do to erase you and this plane of reality for your slight, after all I'm still using it. So very well. I forgive you. You may now thank me for my magnanimous attitude. Hmm, my mask is slipping, better readjust that.

    [Cookie Party] Are there too many delusional people who think they are human on SHF?

    Bold words from a being confined to mere flesh. You pride yourself on writhing above the confines of reality, and yet still you are beholden to the squelching, putrid, ghastly meat of your imperfect vessel. Your pride means nothing before a being of void and energy incarnate. A physical form is...
