Possible way out of the V.Q. Problem

[rabelais]

I think some people in the thread are missing the point.

First of all, taking ethereal away won't do *anything*. The canonical VQ has astral (4-6)

The only clearly effective thing to do is create a new counter to immortality.

Item or rule change? Whatever.

But under the current conditions VQ's are quite seriously broken, particularly for Ermor, who can make a ...

killer flying no melee fatigue AND life draining immortal regenerating (ALL while NAKED!!) SC=norisk and nofear

The lack of risk is the problem, since it creates an artificially munchkinish scenario, something games with deep balance (like this one) would tend to abhor.

Perhaps have the "immortal" god require a delay of three turns, or even a (40 priest level)callback as normal, but no path loss if death was in god's dom?

Still technically abusable, but less so.
