薔薇語 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Re: MordSith During the Dark Times' date=' several Confessors were touched by the Confessor's power. I see nothing that makes one Confessor immune to the power of another.[/quote'] Interesting, Asperion, thank you. I did not know that, nor was my question directed to that. I'm worried about the confessed individual. Confessor A confesses Joey. Confessor B wants to confess Joey. Can confessor B confess Joey even though he has been confessed? La Rose.

Checkmate Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Re: MordSith From reading the series I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work, but I'm not sure if they actually came out and said it point blank like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Ops Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Re: MordSith What is this confession ability anyway? Major Mental Transform ? About the MordSith: I only know the TV Series. Sheesh the Author seems to have Issues. Take the Confessors and the Mord Sith, what was he thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the person she uses the ability on becomes not normal. There's Shota. But she's a witch. I've only read the first book in the series (well worth it!) and I can't recall any 'normal' women in the book. There was a girl / young woman who might qualify but I can't recall any details about her (it has been awhile sense I read it). IIRC, a wizard of the second order was in her family's employ and he sacrificed himself to help the girl out. I could be mis-remembering though. So, other than background, we had two witches, a morde sith, a mother confessor, and some young woman as the only female roles. There weren't, however, too many normal characters from either gender, though. La Rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is normal on being unable to have (loving) sexual intercourse, because having that would turn the person she is doing this with into her slave ?

薔薇語 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Re: MordSith Richard would argue that with you... I actually think that this is a point of difference for the Show and book. In the book, iirc, because Richard loves Kahlan wholly and completely without being confessed, Kahlan's powers actually have no effect on him. Although in the show, I'm pretty sure they skipped past this aspect of the plot in order to keep up the reluctant / forbidden lovers plot device. I missed the part of the series where Richard kill Rahl and thus didn't get to see if Kahlan and him realized that they could be loving to each other in that manner, but assume they didn't given the forbidden love plot device being constantly brought up in the newest episodes. La Rose PS. Perhaps this thread would be best suited in the "Fantasy HERO" section given that Mord Sith and the SoT series are solidly Fantasy and not really comic book genre.

Perhaps this thread would be best suited in the "Fantasy HERO" section given that Mord Sith and the SoT series are solidly Fantasy and not really comic book genre. I choose to place this thread here since I am planning on putting the MordSith into a Champions campaign using supers instead of a fantasy campaign where they are a=originally found. My original question was how to build a MordSith into a supers reality instead of taking them wholesale into the fantasy world that they were originally created in. Although this discussion has been very interesting and informative, helping me to get a better understanding of the MordSith (although they come in very handy and are better defined in later books).

Whitewings Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Re: MordSith It's not covered in the books, but in the show, it's stated that a Confessor's power does nothing to one already confessed. Oh, and Cara holds both additive and subtractive magic in the books because she took the magic of (I think... ) a Sister of the Dark. Either way, the magic she "takes" is in some sense hers from then on. THis allows her to travel in the Sliph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
