If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Kaldric;544359Throwing a boot at a cat is a pretty normal thing. Practically a cliche. Does this make the cat attack you? Nope. Attacking a housecat makes it run from you, not fight. The cat's fine with its damage the way it is - because except in very strange, entirely abnormal circumstances, the cat simply doesn't attack the magic user. In situations where the cat is actually going to attack, it's a cat that has something very strange, abnormal, going on. It's Greebo, and he's going to stitch you right up.

It's called fight or flight. This isn't a Reese's Cup quit trying to mix reality into my gaming!

A PC in my game was just slain by a swarm of zombie cats.
Yeah, but who gives a fuck? You? Jibba?

Well congrats. No one else gives a shit, so your arguments are a waste of breath.

Quote from: jeff37923;543720Subvert that dominant paradigm!

The PCs are sitting at their favorite tavern when a black cat appears on the table and says, "Yes. You will all do very nicely." The room starts to get hazy and then the PCs find themselves in an alley, polymorphed into cats (allow the PCs all of their stuff, but it is all part of their cat physiology - weapons become teeth and claws, armor becomes their fur coat, etc.). The black cat is there and introduces himself as Mr Mistofelees, informing the PCs that he needs them to find and rescue Old Deuteronomy from Macavity or else he will not be able to channel the magic needed to return them to their world and they will remain Jellicle Cats forever.

I'd run that (with the 'Cats' references less obvious, perhaps).

You win the thread.  Question were they Romero zombies or 28 Day zombies or an unholy mix?:D

Does it matter? Nine lives all compiled into a single feline zombie is approaching Lich territory for undead....

That is one of the reasons why 4E failed.
The deprotagonization of the domestic cat.

Those dungeons full of cats sure are killers.

Really.  If this is a criticism of AD&D then people aren't thinking right.

The really criticism ought to be that you can get entire sacks full of cats, throw them down into the dungeon, with a war dog barking at them from behind, and watch them clear out the den full of Kobolds.

Oh yes that is the main reason I agree. :)

I'm so stealing your idea DG.:D. And you're completely right, on a serious note.

Not so much zombies as 100 rotting, undead vicious cats packed into a tomb entrance as a guardian/trap; Pet Sematary cats maybe?

Damn, I was so hoping for British Invasion Zombie Cats, singing "It's the time! We're in season! When the heat runs high!"

Me too. But hey, tomb guardians like Priest work fine, especially if they have 9 lives.;)

Re-protagonize the cat. Pussify D&D.
