Should pc´s with these freaky monster mutations be allowed to walk arround town? Discuss!

Teeth in a Bowl

Issue to be discussed ingame IMO.

Mr Howardson

Keep it in game...

But yes, these people should contact a DM before entering town.

I don't know, you've got a PC like Apocryphan who's eyes glow and is well respected. Wings or a tail might be different, it's true, but this is for a DM to rule on whether or not they need to be present...not really for the players to discuss.

It's probably case by case, I'd think.

Disco

I disagree Teeth. This is very much an OOC discussion. But to make it clear.

Is a  pc´s with one of these freakish mutations allowed to be in town WITHOUT a dm.

Personaly I see it the same way as I would see a monster pc in town, But maybe its only me. That is why I ask the users of EFU this question.

The Old Hack

If I had a character with some of these, I would make sure a DM was present for at the very least my first visit and probably second and third, too. If I was 'accepted' during these, it would probably be OK to go on after that, at least until such time I managed to make my character so unpopular that it turned questionable again.

~tOH.

You should most definitely have a DM if you're going to be entering the village with monster bits on you.

If you have fairy wings, dragon tails, bat wings, or other 'freakish' and 'monsterous' extras on your character you SHOULD have a DM every single time you enter the city because it's not fair at all to hinder other characters reactions and possible PvP/Death by knowing no DM is on and nothing can harm you.

Weaverific

As someone who recently played a glowy eyes freak, I got them from a DM,  non app  and rather unexpectantly to boot!

No DM ever told me I had to get permission to come to town,  it was left to PCs to handle which was fine imo.

Tails and wings are different.

Since a DM is ALWAYS involved in giving these, you can trust they will the player any neccesary OOC info.

Perhaps it might be a good idea to leave dealing out permissions or inhibitions like these to the DMs who are responsible for giving the PCs in question these attributes rather than addressing it this way.

Disco

Its hardley dealing out permissions. Its a discussion by the users of efu. All are invited to join in :)  
But lately i have seen an increase in these "freak" pc´s (wich is fine, it adds flavour to be cursed like this) So i thought it could be a worthy discussion.

Guttersnipe

These things were recently gained in a DM event, and I'm pretty certain (as Weaverific says above) that the players were informed of any requirements. A little trust of your fellow player is likely in order here.

Sure, they should be greeted with fear and revulsion by quite a few characters. However, is there really a need to beat them down the very instant you spot those characters in the village? If no DM is around then react appropriate to that restriction. If a DM can supervise then PvP as you like.

The other problem no one has addressed yet is, do we really want the DMs to be tailing these characters around when they can be running plots for people? Is that the best use of their time spent, or most fun for them?

Sure, react as you will, but it's not so terribly difficult to tailor your roleplay with regards to PvP to keep DM availability in mind.

Havoros has glowy eyes and was a Musterman on day two. That all depends on how things are handled IG. Where are the Red Necks? Isn't Aberdenn in the power? Are their bannersmen becoming liberals? All these sort of things...

xXCrystal_Rose

Half man half insect? A-okay. Don't you dare walk into town if you're a well respected long time citizen who magically ends up with a pair of wings on them though.

putrid_plum

I think many PCs would beat down and KILL a freak with fairy wings or bat wings or tails, truth be told.  DMs should be very clear when giving these out without apps, IMO.
