you mention the ruinous powers in the blessed unity asset, I think you mean the blessed pantheon?

also the lolth feat granting shock and not toxic feels like such a flavor fail.

You saw nothing. NOTHING! :ermm:

And read the asset again. Sadism. PAIN. Not poison.

I think SporkMaster is referring to how Drow have a special affinity for toxins and Lolth has poison as part of her divine portfolio.

I'm fine with it either way.

Dark Eldarin society emphasizes BDSM, with mechanics leaning more toward cruelty than affinity for poisons (one feat out of three).

Lolth emphasizes rabid female chauvinism, coupled with sadistic cruelty. Spiders are treated solely as symbols and holy animals.

I simply saw no reason to magnify something not already there.

Yeah, I think these are pretty solid all around. I'm just glad somebody got around to giving the book2 deities their Marks!

also because shocking doesn't really speak to sadism. it adds a conditional stun, which evokes no sense of pain to me. tearing would be more appropriate for sadism, and toxic adds additional time-delay pain, which speaks much more to cruelty IMO.

but yeah also the spiders and poison thing. even if it's downplayed in DtD lore, lolth, drow, and poison are totally a lore trifecta worth burgling.

reading it again, the critical damage to fatigue rider seems all kinds of out of place too. I assume you were going for a "drag out the torture" feel, but you are literally inflicting not pain on a victim of it. refusing to kill and showing mercy are right on Lolth's table of thou shalt not in book 2.

Go stick your finger in an electrical socket. Then tell me Shocking has nothing to do with pain.

Only if it's a high-amperage current. You'll note that most amperages used in a household are survivable; it's voltage that's noted and voltage that causes pain. You can have a high-voltage current with little amperage... pain with no actual damage.

No, that would be you crawling into your own little cognitive ghetto and refusing to come out. Cruelty and mercy are not absolutes. "Non-lethal" does not mean "painless." We are inflicting only pain, without risking damage. Killing the victim would be a mercy, and thus something to be avoided until it suits us to do so
