Does someone wanna explain this imattyz drama for someone who has been asleep
-
I did read it, and in entirety, but the problems I posed I still hold to be problems. I do not think "tethering" the muscles to be anatomically viable. I am quite aware of separate muscle groups react to one another, but that does not make them able to control one another. In spite of this, this is still a fantasy server so really anything can happen. And as for the "cons" which you mention, I did notice how there is the dry bone clause, but the clause which jumped out at me is the one specifying how it cannot be stronger than a normal limb. To me, this seems very likely that people would be roleplaying it in a manner in which it would be equal to a normal limb. While this is of course speculative, at the very least that first clause is unnecessary if you are to later specify that it is as weak as dried bone. I would simply not like to see people incorrectly RPing skeletal arms. In addition to this, would the arm be able to wear armor? Could you coat the bone in metal? What are these arms really capable of due to their structural weakness? EDIT: To further this, I think it has serious potential for powergaming. I can see someone reading a factlet like "weight for weight bone is five times stronger than steel", and misunderstanding it as their dry, brittle, and lightweight arm can stop a steel sword.

Judging by the forums, Oren will win this war through their edginess

Alright I will preface this by saying I do not mean to offend in the slightest when I criticize aspects of the lore, I am just trying to flesh things out (no pun intended). First of all, the concept seems to be essentially a reskin (more unavoidable puns) of other magically attached replacement limbs. I don't know what you really mean by "tethering" the muscles, because if the limb is skeletal, it has no muscles on it. Perhaps you mean to muscles further up the limb? That would not be feasible as it is not the same muscles that run (for example), from the shoulder to the fingertips. The only way this would be feasible in terms of pairing with anatomy is if the limb was simply magically controlled in the regular manner but it is an organic replacement. Now onto the strength. In no possible way would this be anywhere near as strong as a regular limb. Lets begin with the lack of muscles, tendons and fat. Those are huge cushions against force, which is desperately needed because bone is brittle. To expand on this: if it is dry bone it is incredibly brittle and prone to chipping. The arm would be easily shattered by the force of even a normal human. Moreover, it could be easily worn by most materials, even harsh leather surfaces. In summation, I think it is an interesting idea, but the execution is inconsistent and the practicality is low.

Is anyone else tired of the constant Oren vs. Dwarf propaganda when all it serves to do is just circlejerk one side or the other

Inflammatory Political Statement

While Ayresalex may be hated by all of my characters, I think he is a good roleplayer, and I am very upset to see these actions done by Respiren
