The Myconids: Apathy Writ Large[br][br]The Myconids don't need anybody, have no enemies, and don't care what you do. The first appearance of the Myconid empire was in an adventure otherwise filled with hostile evil humanoids, with the concept being that the Myconids were completely indifferent and w...

I mention Myconids mostly based off of what Frank wrote about their apathy (at large).

They really do just chill/bro out and psilocybe it up all day. Can't say I blame 'em when their own sweat lets you experience the inside of your own outside.

like... whooooaaawww.... wait.... what?

Drow have got to be the worst race I've ever come across, I hate them and their arachnophilic society so much. [br][br]Orcs I love however. Funnily enough the description of an orc changes so quickly... First they're formidable warriors, then they're cowards, then they're vicious brutes, then they'r...

Sometimes they make me both, in which case enters the notion of vore, but I don't anyone wants to enter that field of deviance.

Other than the Illithid, are there any other mutualistic evil societies?

I figured it had been long enough, and talking about Illithid had to inspire thoughts of tentacles + reproduction. Figured I'd break the ice.

Hentacle, I choose you!

Right, that's... that's been accepted. The question was whether or not Illithid, as a mutualistic society, win.[br][br]To recapitulate.[br][br]Arguement: Illithid are an evil mutualistic society and they do indeed win.[br][br]Counter-arguement: Illithid are are not mutualistic because their slaves g...

In the case of the Masai, cows are one of the most important parts of the society. Humanoids are even more vital to the illithids than cows are to the Masai, because the...

^ I don't think that works.[br][br]Are cows part of human society? Because a cow is to a human as much an Orc is to an Illithid. [br] [br]I'd say Illithid society includes use of slaves and exploitation of entire races of sentient beings as a food source, but that they are not themselves part of tha...

^ It's sort of different in that sense as blacks and whites really are the same, where-as illithids and orcs aren't. Illithids are objectively superior, in terms of ability, to orcs.[br][br]Whites are not objectively superior to blacks, they're objectively equal. [br][br]Racism in D&D is legitim...

He wields clerics? Dear-god, his weapon(s) has(have) a weapon(s)?

^ Isolation of location? I don't think neighboring kings will be too paranoid if there are mountains/seas/oceans separating your kingdoms.

though I can't imagine anyone sleeping easy when the closest kingdom (regardless of how isolated) is literally a place of death and decay.

Dude stop, you're making me hungry.

C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

....yeah, basically the real truth behind it. I sometimes forget this isn't logistics and nietzscheons.

1174720772[/unixtime]]Meh, you say that but it dosen't resemble who lots of stories work. Good teams up with evil to beat bigger evil is really common as a plot point. So the notion that Good kills all evil on sight is as inaccurate as the notion that Evil has to do the evilest thing possible every...

Oh and I do, but I'm talking down town.[br][br]Regardless - I do think minor creation can create acid from dead vegetable matter, though it's a bit of a stretch... but once you throw in d&d physics and the psychotically freakish amounts of plants present there-in, and the obvious ability to cons...

So is that what you cats do to cats that are being put down?

Daaayamnnnn vicious yo... no ill will to you but I don't think I'd be able to do that. I'm all neutral good and stuff, hugs not acidic cauldrons of doom.

So he has a special treated "shovel like fork" that he uses to scoop? An acid flinging machine of devastating doom and/or misanthropy would surely come prepared to an acid fight with acid resistant gear and, more importantly, acid handling gear?

At least I'd assume so...

I'd say to double-space in between abilities so you have a cleaner cut and more easily digestible read. The headers are cramped at some points... and possibly see if frank/K would throw in an intro to it.

Great job otherwise. Very nicely done.
