Never Mess with Granny: Difference between revisions
→Tabletop Games
Line 244:
** However, while she is entirely fearless and has dominated intense situations by sheer force of personality or charm, she's never actually been in a fight in her life and unlike some other entries on this page (such as Granny Weatherwax), she shows no signs of being ''able'' to fight. She does, however, employ some of the most formidable bodyguards available anywhere.
* Difficult, but possible in ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'', where being in the Venerable age category gives you -6 to all physical abilities and +3 to all mental abilities. This can be an attractive prospect to [[Min-Maxing]] players of mentally-oriented characters, or there are workarounds that grant the bonuses but not the penalties. Never Mess with Granny if she's a Kobold, a [[Old Master|Monk]], a Druid, or any other form of [[Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards|high-level spellcaster]].
** There are several class features that entirely eliminate age penalties while still letting you keep age bonuses. One of them is being a high-level monk. So yeah.
** The crone statue in 4E's "[[Tomb of Horrors]]" qualifies.
* ''[[Warhammer Fantasy]]'' has Morathi, the Hag Queen. She is over five thousand years old, maintains her attractiveness through regular blood sacrifices, seduced the first Phoenix King, masterminded her son's attempt on the Phoenix Throne that led to the great schism in the Elven people, and is a capable warrior and a powerful sorceress. Who beat up a ''Daemon Prince'' that shredded her entire bodyguard and tried to capture her because he was jealous of her beauty. Also [[Ms. Fanservice]], a wielder of [[Black Magic]], and one of the setting's foremost [[Big Bad]]s.
