Thread Closed
I do not think this thread needs to be emotional, really. I understand that there are unique challenges to role-playing Lalafel, and its sad to hear stories of them not being taken seriously when they are played as such. But this thread is full of well-intentioned people (as is the RPC in general). Nowhere in the origin of this thread was there anything personal or accusatory. I think all of us are prepared to be flexible with regards to other players' RP, even when at times they might exceed what we would consider reasonable. Even if someone's character has to imagine that there is an outside source of such strength (such as aether) I do not think that anyone here would outright refuse to acknowledge it. I think it would be an inaccurate description of this thread to claim that anyone were trying to tell anyone else how to RP, and that is a good thing that I think we should keep in mind and appreciate!
Given that the initial question cannot be answered via the Lore, it can be broadly restated as, "What effect does the physical strength of Lalafel have on roleplay?"Â I think we've done a good job exploring that, and like any such topic there will be disagreement, but quite a number of different opinions on that have been discussed.
To direct my thoughts toward Lalafel players directly, I think I would sum up this discussion as follows: when thinking about the physical strength of your character you will want to consider both the effects it has on your roleplay, and on the manner in which other players interpret it. Players, and characters, will look differently upon a Lalafel throwing around the strength of a Highlander than they will one who is notably weaker. Both can be sound character concepts. (Inserting personal opinion: Although one stretches credulity for the sake of eliminating potentially interesting weakness, it may still be worthwhile for the overall concept of the character, and provide its own interesting point of RP.)
Anyway... I just really appreciate the RPC community!
