Line 27:
* [[The Big Guy]]: Fezzik, and the guild he heads, the Brute Squad.
* [[Bond Creatures]]: A number of guilds are built around an empathic bonding faculty vaguely inspired by [[His Dark Materials]].
* [[Booze
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Some NPCs are aware that some of the people found in their world are the puppets of beings from an entirely different order of reality -- that is, [[Player Characters]]. One has written a book about it.
* [[Breath Weapon]]: A number of species breathe fire by way of phlogiston glands. Esoteric breath weapons are explained by phlogiston absorbing magical essences that infuse the glands' owner.
Line 79:
* [[Eye Beams]]: Used extensively by the bezhuldaar (read "beholder") race, and found in a number of other instances; the demonic fomor race has heat-vision-like eyebeams.
* [[Fantasy Pantheon]]
* [[Fighter, Mage, Thief]]: Aggressively averted. No character classes, and the "guilds" that resemble them are highly idiosyncratic.
* [[Finish Him!]]: Part of the same situation as [[Cruelty Is the Only Option]], above.
* [[Finishing Move]]: A number of guilds have instant-kill powers that can only affect mortally wounded opponents; players and developers alike generally refer to these as finishing moves, though there is no formal categorization involved. Some are up to [[Mortal Kombat]] levels of violence, like the Ringwielder rune "arkonaad", which causes the victim to explode with sufficient force that its flying limbs can cause serious injuries to bystanders.
* [[Food As Bribe]]: The most pleasant way of getting past Kerberos, the three-headed dog guarding the fiery portal from the cave of Tainaron to the River Tethys.
Line 105:
* [[I Call It Vera]]: Nicknaming support allows you to call your weapon, or nearly anything, whatever you like (and automatically continue to perceive it by that name).
* [[Improbable Weapon]]: Basically any physical object is wieldable as a weapon, but yo-yos (note that the yo-yo was actually originally designed as a weapon), magical flowers and umbrellas exist in particular, as well as weapons that randomly shapeshift into odd forms. Players who achieve extreme size and carrying capacity have demonstrated a fondness for wielding the Losthaven clock tower as a weapon.
* [[In
* [[Intercourse With You]]: The Nizari, assassins in the service of Kali, sometimes earn ''a great deal'' of Kali's favor.
* [[In Universe Game Clock]]: Two ''Lost Souls'' seconds equal one RL second; six-day week, 10-month year, 30-hour day.
Line 132:
* [[Mind Rape]]: A panoply of mental disorders exists, and powers to inflict them on people.
* [[Mini Game]]: Among others, the [http://wiki.lostsouls.org/Conceptual_navigation Conceptual Navigation] teleportation system.
* [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous]]: Some easily accessible races have four hands, and a [
* [[Mythopoeia]]
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: The most well-known instance of this is in [http://wiki.lostsouls.org/Hastur_%28ELF_Invocation%29 how the Erisian Liberation Front invocation of Hastur physically manifests].
Line 186:
* [[Shapeshifting Squick]]: Players seem oddly fascinated by the... ''possibilities'' presented by shoggothim.
* [[Shiny Sense]]: [http://wiki.lostsouls.org/Astral_Perception Astral perception].
* [[Shout
* [[Soul Jar]]: Necrolak's big black gem.
* [[Sssssnaketalk]]: Sentient reptilian species tend to display this. It isn't applied when they speak in their own languages, as extended sibilants are assumed to be an ordinary part of those, so it's mainly seen when snakey types talk the local equivalent of English, Anglic.
