Because there was a small delay between the spores dispersing and the people getting infected in the post, so I was trying to figure out how big that gap was. I don't mind Orin being infected that much, I was just trying to figure out whether he had a chance to react or not. Magic Teleporting Spores are admittedly a little much for me to swallow, but I'll play along for now. <br/><br/><br/>So...just so I know for my post:<br/><br/>Orin is now infected regardless of whether his powers could have protected him because of the magic teleporting spores, right? <br/><br/><br/>So, if that's the case, how bad is the nausea? Like, how bad/often is the vomiting, how bad is the stomach aching, how much is his vision/concentration swimming, how sluggish have his reactions become, etc etc? What are the symptoms and what is the severity?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I'm not saying they are magical.  My point is to suspend disbelief for the sake of allowing A.) a serious deficit in power to have some balance B.) adds some unexpected elements to work with and C.) challenge you all as writers to see how it's implemented into posts.  Yes, there was a time between the infection and the spores release and I don't believe I claimed otherwise.  That much is obvious but here's other factors to consider.  There's a lot of chaos going around.  You've got a fight going on off to the side, vines whipping about haphazardly and other elements to take into account.  I don't care how much of a tactical genius someone is; they can miss details.  Everyone and anyone can.<br/><br/>As I said on point 3 of your initial questions.  You can go ahead and do whatever you want to do about the spores and gas but the infection is implemented by GM Law.  As for the symptoms,  I left it vague on purpose.  I claimed it is debilitating and induces vomiting.  Your character can vomit only once and fight through nausea for all I care so long as the implied reactions are given in return.  Beyond that, how debilitating your character is with intense nausea is to your discretion.  Don't worry about being aggressive or snarky.  It is my job to accommodate and cater to the players as a GM but I have a particularly strict system I follow to ensure things stay entertaining for all parties in a thread/scene.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=239093.msg11810105#msg11810105">Quote from: mia h on 12-11-2015, 00:44:45</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I might be aware but guess what?
