Hated by Trolls, probably not, Hated by Darkness on the other hand.... (think of Vampires and their various vulnerabilities)

I think the important issue is that the "Loss" should be at least as great as the potential gain - a failure giving "hated by trolls" might be quite acceptable for a quest whose success gives you an equivalent "Trollfriend" rating - it is unlikely to be so for a quest which grants you the ability to transform yourself into a Shade at will...                Received on Fri 03 Nov 2000 - 05:34:53 EET
