MCEWould a badly made bone construct being called 'shambles' be considered a lazy pun?

Anthony Alexander: I don't think so. Neither does Bethesda Softworks.


"** The version I read said he left three alive, to help him build and or populate a city, presumably they found other women." —Dman

fleb: That's apparently a common confusion. Kadmos is the hero who spared a handful (five, based on web sites) of the sown men and founded Thebes. Jason was less a founder, more an action hero with bad romantic instincts. ETA: Okay, except for Aemona apparently.


Yanked the Natter from the entry:

  • Diablo II, of course, with both enemy and summonable skellies.
    • The latter case being quite strange, in that you can summon a human skeleton from the corpse of any monster, up to and including giant spiders, pygmies, ghosts, small rat-like creatures and swarms of locusts.
    • This editor recalls that the different skeletons were in fact different in their statistics, and thinks that this was really more a limit of sprites, or something similar.
As I recall it, the stats depended on what type of skeleton you tried to summon - corpses were all interchangeable as far as the various corpse-using skills were concerned. sawblade: The Natter is confusion about different classes of skellies that enemies have. I also think that there was some random HP in there and shield existence mattering. In any case, it was a good idea to remove it, just because it is really hard to write down.

sawblade:where does the image come from?


Kat: Removed

  • Bob, from The Dresden Files. Come on, it mentions friendly skulls in the description, guys.

because it's already on there, three examples up.


Haven: Alternative stinger: "Ubiquitous in reality, though unlike fiction they require muscle, connective tissue, nerves, organs, and flesh to function."
