  • At what point do you think it becomes ethical to break the law for the greater good?

    I don’t like the idea of destroying ballots either. It’s so undemocratic. It’s a shame that other actors don’t have scruples about it though.

    Is it truly better to wait for the fascists to come to power before we resist them? It seems that would allow them to enact much more harm.

    Anyway, I don’t endorse destroying ballots. But I do understand why people would be so disenfranchised with a system that’s working against the individuals that they would feel compelled to take some sort of action.

    Swallow Whole used to be my favorite mechanic with large creatures like dragons, hydras, or what have you.

    I mean, it’s both narratively and mechanically a powerful ability. Usually the creature gets a bite attack with Improved Grab, so they get a free grapple if they hit. Then the next turn if they have a grappled creature in their mouth, they swallow them. From there it’s usually continuous acid / bludgeoning damage, but the swallowed creature gets a chance to fight their way out or get rescued.

    Being grappled was already somewhat debilitating, but you could usually ignore it. But when you get swallowed it immediately raises the stakes. It also means you can’t ignore getting grappled because it can become so much worse so quickly.

    Then one day one of my players noticed I was using the ability a lot and accused me of having a vore fetish. Now I don’t really use Swallow Whole at all
