archimage_a Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 We all think we are immune to pain, psionics and whatnot...in reality we are pretty much the same, with minor differences... http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree.

The_Mather1 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 But madness varies more than anything, madness can be what defines your entire being or what you can become, because madness is not senced, it is not fealt it is just survived... or not. Also some people can take way more heat, there's this one Finnish sauna champion, that can sit for over ten minutes in a sauna at above 100C°.Pain is not something we can be imune to to any degree, however it is different how much we can endure it.Psionics is not a fealing, as thus you can be imune to it by encasing yourself in lead.

Seraphi Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I can be immune to pain by shutting down the pain receptors with the neural uplink. It wont do me any good though, because then I'd have no way of knowing if my legs were intact without looking down every 5 seconds. PS. You are trying to debate something which does not exist in real life with the creator of the game which features it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Mather1 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 There are a few things we do know, that proves my theory:1. Mind reading is the act of reading the current thoughts of someone else.2. There are certain kinds toughts, sounds and images that are able to drive people insane.3. There are certain people who are either too cold, calculative or just plain stupid to be sufficiently affected by some or in some cases most of those.4. It is possible to bend ones own toughts, forcing oneself to think about something, like a theory, memory or nothing at all.

Seraphi Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yes, but your theory applies to a purely fictional entity, so you don't make the rules. It doesn't matter if X doesn't work in real life or if Y should do Z or whatever. What the GM says, goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archimage_a Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 1. Mind reading is the act of reading the current thoughts of someone else.Or the act of forcing someone to think certain things...If I am looking for a password I don't much care what they are thinking about... IF it happened a lot then you might develop a defence over time... 2. There are certain kinds toughts, sounds and images that are able to drive people insane.No...there aren't...There are certain thought streams which, when brought to their culmination, will drive a specific person insane...For example, a mother seeing her children hit by a train...For someone who is not related to those children it is sad, but not insanity inducing.Its like saying that watching Bambi makes everyone cry...including machines, rocks and tears. IF you had someone who was level 1 psionics, aka really sloppy, took in everything, then that person might get some of the emotional backlash...But you are going:'I will set of an explosion in a room, and the full force the explosion will travel down the pipe they are using to listen into this room.'Which just isn't going to happen...it might deafen them for a little while, but thats about all. 3. There are certain people who are either too cold, calculative or just plain stupid to be sufficiently affected by some or in some cases most of those.See 2...Different thought streams affect different people differently. The distinction between thoughts and thought streams is kinda like the difference between a picture and a movie...A picture/thought can contain a password, but conveys very little in the way of emotion. 4. It is possible to bend ones own toughts, forcing oneself to think about something, like a theory, memory or nothing at all. Indeed, psionic defence is perfectly possible. Psionics is not a fealing, as thus you can be imune to it by encasing yourself in lead. Gravity is not a feeling, and you are not immune to it by encasing yourself in lead... http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

The_Mather1 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Archi, that's what antigrav plating is for. :razz: There is one thing which can drive almost anyone who is unprepared insane, the tought that you may be the only one who is real and your entire life is merely your mind playing tricks with you. If you can seed that tought in a mind focused on something else, then it will undoubtedly do some damage. Just think Inception.

Nexaduro Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 ... Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are sane nihilists are there not? Anyways, I may or may not participate in these next two sessions. This disease has really floored me, and for some reason taken away my tolerance for electronic games among other things. It also is making me type in a bit of an odd fashion, and making me talk in Yoda-esque fashion. I certainly seem to catch odd viruses, or at least experience interesting - if uncommon - side effects. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Earth Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 ... All i'd do would be to create a memory loop of me being eaten by zombies. Problem solved, since it overrides any attempt to get rid of it until you loose connection, which defeats the purpose of reading minds.Edit: Let me givve you a reason why in an afterthought form. If you can honestly say you'd stay focused and sane while you were being, repeatedly, eaten by the hungry dead, then either you're beyond hope or a lier.

Nexaduro Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Purely mental Psionic techniques, I would imagine, are extremely dangerous if you mishandle them. Chi may even have a bit of a point, with personality bleed and such. Psionics is not exactly a defined science if I am correct, and most anything is possible along one line or another in every slice of life. And it is, in fact, possible to be resistant to pain. One particular individual, somewhere in New York I believe, is capable of pushing a sharp rod of metal in one side of his arm and pulling it out the other. He does not bleed, either. It was put to the test, and determined to be a true physical trait rather than illusion. He can do it to multiple sections of his body, and you can actually see through the hole. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Earth Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 But isn't being mental a part of the tavern, and Psionics? Also, its a suggestion. Probably not a good one, but if I needed too...

The_Mather1 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 That's got nothing to do with resistance or imunity or anything, unless of course his nerves don't work properly. The only thing that decides wether something is painful or just there is our brain, it's about how much pain you can tolerate, not how bad it has to be before you feel it. One other way to mess with people would be to take 3 days of upside down seeing and compress it into a short memory, if done properly it would turn the mind reader's vision upside down for three days. Or maybe use negative or mirrored? Or all three? :twisted: Twitter: @TheMather1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexaduro Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Mather, I believe the conclusion was that his mind processed pain differently. I believe he could still feel some sort of sensation, but it wasn't inhibiting. It's an extraordinary mutation, most likely, even more so from the chance that a pain-inhibiting mutation and one nearly forgoing bleeding would both occur in one individual. Stan Lee's superhumans is quite an interesting show. What reminded me of it, and the man in New York, was your mention of the Finnish man who can endure heat. He was featured as well. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Nexaduro Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Haha, I forgot the show nicknamed the people. Seems a bit silly, if you ask me. Did you see the one with the man from India who can transmit lethal voltage through his body without being harmed? 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Leiana Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 SI, can you hide all drugs from Chi unless he has a better use for them? Booyah! I found the Diablo III page! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Mather1 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 No, but my parents told me about him. That's just scary. Though he can't transmit voltage, however he can conduct voltage at a lethal amperage. Volts are power, apere is flow. You can have as many volts through you as you want, but as long as you're properly isolated, there's no amperage to interfere with your heart. 0.4 mA can kill you, but you can take any voltage up to the point where lightning begins striking around you, at which point you'll be roast before you know it.
