No edit summary
Line 83:
* [[Total Party Kill]]: One of the many, ''many'' magical fumbles results in killing off the entire ''planet''.
* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: There is a section on warfare in an otherwise character-focused game. Yes, ''warfare'', as in army-on-army, not individual combat.
* [[The Unfair Sex]]: Inverted with the "Chastity Belt of Cursed Impregnation". Cursed or not, this item impregnates anyone who puts it on.<ref>(Given the awfulness of FATAL, it's safe to assume that the [[Mister Seahorse]] trope is in effect).</ref> If it's a cursed belt, then the unborn child will always be a girl. [[Unfortunate Implications|Yes, apparently being forced to have a daughter instead of a son is considered a curse.]]
* [[Unusual Dysphemism]]: "Fuckstick", "Cuntpipe", and "Mouth-cunt".
* [[Viewers Are Morons]]: The book contains ''paragraphs'' describing to the reader what things like salt and cheese are.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Even the extremely negative MacLennan/Sartin review acknowledged that there were some good ideas to be found in this morass and some of the math systems, while labyrinthine, do actually work well.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Symbolic]]: While Christianity itself is absent from the game, there are many spells such as "WalkOnWater[[Walk On Water]]", "waves be still", and "multiplication of loaves and fish".
