Re: (TFT) Re: Cloak of the Velvet Hand -> controlling PC's

ahh... yes. I understand. That player managed to play even controlled. As a 
player Id hate to be in that position. A person still retains his 
personality etc when controlled by the velvet hand. He follows the 
instructions of the user. If the user is a big dope and doesnt instruct the 
victim to not tell anyone about the cloak or the effect, then the controller 
gets what he deserves.

But what was the true purpose of the cloak. The cloak was crafted to be able 
to hide critters in it. These critters controlled, could be unleashed on 
unsuspecting foes, in unlikely places. Thats how the bad guys managed to 
bring the Minkies into port with out being found.

It is possible to break out of the hold of the velvet hand. Usually a 
clerical cleansing will chase out the symbiot.

Hi Joel,
	The main danger I see is it is not fun to play a controlled
character.  How you handle this should be thought about carefully,
and hopefully the PC can fight free of control fairly quickly.

	(Some thing extraordinary should happen to allow the
PC to break free if you want it to be very difficult to break free.
Otherwise the PC's will wonder why all the NPC's that are
controlled don't break free just as easy.)

	That is my main concern.

	Rick

town. Another player encountered the 3 men later in the game. They were very 
cordial to him. They sat him down, shared their camp with him... and during 
the meeting one of the mercs dropped the cloak around his shoulders. Now, 
unfortunately that player is *controlled*.
