That’s…that’s not actually what ‘salt of the earth’ means… That said, I hope it helps you!Īnd again, most people in Stormwind are down home salt of the earth… You know the type… morons. Of course, RP may function differently than in writing FF, so take the advice with a grain of salt. Instead, it uses is pseudo-omniscience to taunt, intimidate, and induce dismay in order to drive its victim/follower into a chaotic, emotional state where logic is replaced by instinct or despair.įor example, instead of saying something about an ambush, either blatantly and openly (“they have you surrounded”) or cryptically (“countless eyes watch the figure from behind nature’s bounty”), it takes a more subtle, subversive approach (“you cannot defeat them”). In order to cut down on bloat, instead of the whispers speaking solely in cryptic riddles or incessantly about everything, I keep it restrained - the Void knows all (both real and not real), but does not speak all. Sorta like the little devil/angel characters that would appear on characters’ shoulders in old cartoons. Not a velf or RP-er for that matter, however in the short stories I’ve written involving my void-tainted priestess, I’ve made the whispers into sort of its own entity while being a small extension of her own character. If there is someone leading the game, give them the list and have you roll. If there is no GM leading the scenario, you could create your own list of reactions, and roll for yourself to see what response your character has. Is it an attack from above? Behind? Nothing there at all? It could cause you to freeze with indecision, or take off running to escape- and you run directly into the “real” ambush, thinking that whatever it was you thought you saw was behind you. With the ambush scenario, perhaps you recognize that this place would be a good spot for an ambush, but the whispers/visions are throwing so many possibilities at you that it’s hard to tell if there is an ambush, where it’s coming from, or what form it would take. Sometimes it can be to her advantage, sometimes it’s most definitely not, and the very hesitation could have it’s own consequences. It means she has to stop, and really observe and figure out what she’s seeing before she makes a move. It may not even be useful- in fact, it could cause disadvantage if they can’t tell what’s real or not. Images superimposed on reality just before something happens. Does it have to be whispers? I imagine my void elf can “see” possibilities.
