Re: Battle Afflictions: Gimp Gods

In a similar vein: Why on EARTH can an Oracle get Afflictions (other than Feeblemind I guess)? I had an Oracle with a limp in my Last game, I kid you not.

Oh, another question about the Oracle: Why isn't it Immune to Poison? How do you poison a stone fountain? I lost my Oracle that way (that's how it got the limp).

Re: Battle Afflictions: Gimp Gods

Could be an oversight.

Or, one could rationalize that medieval understanding of poison is in play here, rather than a more modern one, and certainly a fantasy/medieval understanding of fountain gods is in play - they have a spirit, and vital fluids, and are something that is vulnerable to desecration, so poking it with something poisioned, even a snake bite, might possibly do it harm. Five of nine medieval alchemists agree... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

IOW, I could see it either way, really.
