Depends. Is it a Medusa that causes paralysis if you look at it, or one that causes paralysis if it looks at you?

The former needs blind swordsmen or a heat-seeking missile (it's detecting, not 'looking'), and the later requires snipers, sneak-attacks, or a giant terror-triggering mongoose.

>>55258069
If it's a statistically average party, at least two people would look just because someone told them not to.

More importantly, is it a curse or was she always like that?
Normally I wouldn't try seducing the monster, but if she used to be human then it's worth a shot.

I had plans for my party to work with and help a Medusa once. She blinded herself (or so she told them) so that she couldn't curse anyone ever again. Reality was she could still use her full powers, she just wore a blindfold and used Mage Hand to feel her way around (she was a sorceress). Used a lot of Divination magic. She was kind of a tragic figure because unlike other Medusae, she didn't want to be like that, and didn't want to hurt people. She was just born different and was an outcast because of it. So she needed help finding her way through the world to seek a 'cure' for her condition. Medusae in that system have legs and look like normal women aside from the snake hair so it would have been pretty easy for her to wear a hooded cloak and move about naturally. She, like others of her kind was really attractive so that might have been troublesome, but other than that she was meant to be a divination font for the group while they did another quest, and help them with that, while using them as a platform for her own motives, which just so happened to be reasonably pure.

Game died the session before it got to her cave because a player moved and when that happens with this group, they usually opt to start a new game instead.

>>55258069
So, like, a medusa or the gorgon named Medusa?

Look at the tits.

knowing the idiots in the game I run, they'd sooner delve into hell to find a book teaching them some dumb ritual to become half-dragons, then go on another adventure just to pull it off, all so that they can get blindsight so that they can fight the damn thing with a blindfold on.

How likely is for any character to be aware of the whole "turned into stone" thing? Aren't like three in the entire world?

>>55259448
If you're playing in mythological Greece, then yes. You'd need a good Religion roll to have heard the story. In any other setting, it's probably an Arcana or Lore roll of some kind, with an increased difficulty depending on how rare they are.

Beat her savagely with her own statues while using echolocation to locate her. My character (alchemist) may not be blind, but an accident almost made her blind so she practiced just in case.
Alternatively, beat her with one of my own statues. They're already made of rock material.

In seriousness though, fight in darkness to level the playing field. Magical darkness if possible, but smoke could work too. That's assuming you can't just kill her indirectly by caving shit in, or creating enough of a bonfire to choke her to death on smoke, etc.

>>55266813
That image you posted is heartbreaking and I hate it

>>55258069
others got this, but the

Standard stuff, black out the area with smoke or darkness to take her sight advantage. Use secondary targeting mechanics, sonar and blast area weapons.

Avoid thermal version as it may not work give partial reptile biology, but also seeing IR might still count as seeing.

Or just use reflector goggles or mini periscope, as both have only minor vision effects so it much easier then trying to look off a shield or hand mirror.

Wonder how this would work given my characters insane healing factor and variable density biology.

Become denser then stone, then get turned to stone? All while healing factor fights damaging effects of turning to stone?
I could see myself running around with just a slight weight penalty and a nice durability bonus. So I could still fight largely unaffected.

Now that we've settled on how you deal with them, can we have a Gorgon/Medusa thread? New ways to use them? New lore? Maybe ideas for a Medusa player race? Maybe instead of turning things to stone Half-Medusae can cause another status effect that's not so brutal or killy? Shaken? Fear? Something like that? Maybe a slow effect that's not quite stone, but makes it feel like it?

Medusa (historical) is one of the three Gorgons. Medusa (game monster) is a species. Gorgons are metal bulls that spit poison clouds in those games. They are different things. Of course, you knew that, but you just HAD to pretend to be retarded for (You)s. Well, I hate to break it to you, but while you're pretending to be retarded, you're retarded.

Since Medusa was highly distinct from the other Gorgons- being the only mortal and pretty one- Medusa has become shorthand for a specific type of Gorgon.

But I bet you knew that because you're so much better than all the pond scum on this board you hate but won't leave amirite

>>55267728
Actually, ERP requies you to not be a sociopath, because it requires social interaction.

>>55267750

But why's it so heavy on the rape stuff, is the point.

>>55267112
I like the 3 rounds/ slowed, restrained, stoned approach (( Colville )) pitches. Keeps it interesting, and allows several opportunities for the players to interact with the problem of turning to stone. I also like the idea that the Medusa can reverse this effect; I've been thinking that her snake hair might contain a venom with the Stone to Flesh effect.

It's just creative objectification. The woman becomes a sex object, which is obviously appealing from a sexual point of view, because the aspect of her a guy is interested in during his sex fantasies is the sex part. And from a female perspective, being the focus of lust can be pretty titillating too. Objectification strips all the superfluous (nonsexual) shit away, and plays into the dominant and submissive gender roles that are probably more than merely societal, but at least partly evolutionary. Obviously individuals are going to vary, and people should have the ability to define themselves however they want, but speaking in terms of general trends, that's pretty much the gender split you've got. Throw in the equivalent of cartoon violence, which is a fantasy situation that's exaggerated because there are no real world consequences and it heightens the drama, and you're all the way to the sort of thing we're talking about.

>>55267828
I think Gygax just wanted a greater variety of crazy shit. I find it unsettling too though.

>>55258069

>>55268411
>plays into the dominant and submissive... roles that are probably more than merely societal, but at least partly evolutionary.
I don't actually get the appeal of that stuff at all. Am I broken or something?

How do you have your gorgons / medusas work? Do you go with more of an active gaze sort of thing, or is it more about just seeing her face?

Vote: http://www.strawpoll.me/13879648

>>55268466
Depends exactly one what you mean. Dom/sub relationships cover a lot of ground, some of which is pretty vanilla and some of which is pretty fucking weird.

>>55268567
I mean... the core idea seems to be that there's something desirable about there being an imbalance of power or maybe of desire in a sexual relationship, but that kind of thing is more liable to make me uncomfortable than interested.

>>55268466
I mean, at its base level, it's just guys tending to be more aggressive and tending to take the lead on shit more. And think about the gender dynamics of dating. It's more typically the guy taking the girl out than the other way around. And there's typically more importance put on the girl looking sexy than the guy. So she's got more of a passive role compared the guy's active one.

But that's obviously a dramatic simplification of the complex and multifaceted interaction between people. Sometimes the roles aren't very overt, sometimes they are more about style than substance, and there are certainly plenty of cases where couples don't fall into the traditional roles at all. I don't think there's anything wrong with you if they don't do anything for you. Like anybody else, you've just got to find a person who's a good match for you.

I wonder if gorgons are more yin or yang in their behavior.

>>55268786
Snakes heavily implies yin

>How your party deal with Medusa encounters?
I think more interesting a question is how do you depict gorgon behavior and tactics? If they're lone creatures, that is obviously going to have a rather large impact on their lifestyles. What are their goals? Are they all hatred and bile due to their curse? Is it a curse? How clever are they in their defense? Do they just confidently rely on their petrification, or is there a bit more ingenuity involved? Do they make deals with other monsters? How do they get the necessities of life? Do animals that see them turn to stone? Does this make them vegetarians?

The implications of their curse / power are pretty dramatic and far-reaching.

>>55258069
WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS

>>55268885
But dragons are yang, and they're basically magical serpents, and gorgons are magical beings with serpents... But we are dealing with a woman with snakes, so what you say does make sense.

>>55265006
The "face" is a female Warrior with Appearance 10 who took the Charm advantage in Anima to back up her formidable combat skills.
She has seduced, in order of appearance:
>Two White Hawthorne(read: evil witch-type)Hamadryads who had been terrorizing a farm
>An Undine who had been ambushing fishing boats out of anger over overfishing
>A Blood Elemental(pic related) that somehow got loosed in a hospital
>A Spider Woman that had, until that time, been preying on a nearby adventurers' guild while disguised as a prostitute
>A Huldra who had just helped the party resolve some resentment between the Forest Spirits and the leader of Alberria
>Two assassins from the Selene order who had been sent on rumors that our punchbro had somehow learned their women-only martial art.
>An Angel, sent by... we don't know who... to reprimand her for her horndog ways.
>Most recently, a Demon Princess, sent to try to coerce her over to True Evil. Was only seduced because, and I quote, "who hasn't dreamed of banging an angel and a demon at the same time?"

The GM alternates between "how are you going to seduce a fricking [insert creature here]", and playing along out of sheer morbid curiosity because the lines dropped by Raidy's player are usually the sort of over-the-top these-should-be-cheesy-but-somehow-fit-the-situation lines that you'd expect from a chapter of Yurika's Campus Life or something.
Like the demoness. IIRC, Raidy said something like "Is lust all you ever think about? Don't you ever think of... love?", rolled really well on her Persuade(Seduction), and reduced the Demoness to a stammering, blushing mess.

>>55267112
Dex damage would work well for a more gradual, progressive petrification process. You get slower and clumsier as more and more of you turns to stone, until finally when your Dex hits 0 you're completely petrified.

By similar token, I once made a Gorgon player race option for Fantasy Craft with a gaze that entangled to represent temporary, partial petrification. Then there was a limited ability to turn weaker enemies to stone (which fits well in the system since there are a lot of options to allow reliably one-shooting mooks).

tl;dr her myth exaggerated her appearance. She does eventually go full monster mode though. She usually wears a blindfold.

That's Rider. She's basically Medusa re-incarnated or something. Some Fate/Stay fag will REEEE at me over not getting it right I'm sure. But I don't care and neither should you. She's animudeusa, so kinda fringe counts, I guess.

When people on here say "EVERYONE is SUPER into rape fantasies bruv", what they actually mean is "way more girls are way more into rape fantasies than I expected".

This little surprise + nature is pretty rapey = that anon saying it's "evolutionary". There is absolutely nothing wrong with you if you don't fit the supposed mold especially when it comes to a meme fetish that everyone else wants to jump on the bandwagon for, like vanilla girls who claim "oh I'm SO kinky boys teehee" but are only into light flogging.

Well are medusas in your world a natural species or a cursed mortal like the original fable?

If its the former, they probably act like snakes, the petrification may be a way of storing food for later and their sexy lady bits might be to attract unwitting adventurers. Even creepier you could make them completely animalistic, no talking, no desire, just a need to hunt and consume.

If its the latter then you are dealing with a cursed individual who has a grudge against a god, maybe she becomes a warlock and the petrified victims are offerings to her patron, maybe she likes her statues more than people because they cant hurt her. She probably tends to them like a garden and loves them like a serial killer loves their trophies.

I never fought a medusa, but I did fight a basilisk, in the dark, in a long tunnel that was closed off from both ends.
It was screaming towards a tpk until I managed to connive my way into using my smart phone camera to circumvent it's gaze attack, and after throwing a flare at it, my teammate gunned his harley into the thing at 150mph.

>>55276958
The way Fate/Stay Night works is that there's a huge wizarding ritual. With it, you summon any particular mythological figure- leaning on their legend for magical power- into one of seven 'classes'. Typhoid Mary could be summoned as an 'assassin', for example, due to the whole part where she killed a shitton of people, while Merlin could be summoned as a 'caster', that kind of thing. Hercules could concievably be summoned under any of the classes, because his character is so broad. Though most of the time the various classes have their own quirks and tricks. Archer isn't precisely 'hero who uses a bow', but more 'hero who uses a special attack', for example.

So this Medusa- Rider- was summoned as a 'Rider', due to her connection with the pegasus Bellephron. At the same time, due to her monsterousness, she could conceivably be summoned instead as Beserker, and end up a huge scaled snakebomination or whatever. But as part of being summoned as 'Rider', the ritual gives her a huge boost to everything 'riders' can do- such as ride things. Like chainsaws. O

>>55276958
It's a joke. Characters with the Rider class innately know how to operate anything that could be ridden or piloted.

>>55268532

I've been assuming the "eyes" are pure attack organs that project something, so a solidly affixed blindfold or eyemask is sufficient to allow them to interact with others. Their actual sensory organs are the snakes, which both sense heat and provide a bit of a compound eye with wider vision angles but lower precision. This notably means they have difficulty with humanoid written scripts, which may be the other factor keeping them poorly integrated with the civilized peoples.

It's usually silly, though once in a while we serious the fuck up, like when asshole wizards kidnapped punchbro's kid brother to try to experiment on. Raidy and punchbro tore the entire lab apart down to the foundations and annihilated the entire workforce while DamnNatureUScary the Summoner and JOHN CENA the Stealthiest Technician busted the kid and other test subjects out.
That's the one inviolable rule our quartet has: do not mess with our family. Even Raidy respects those rules, though she has said that they're the only thing keeping her from going after CENA's mom, a cheerful forty-something and former pirate captain.

Medusa a cute

>>55258069
In the campaign I had a year ago, we stumbled into a medusa's lair by accident on the way to the quest objective. I tried to negotiate passage, but my Charisma sucked. The Rogue or Warlock could've chimed in to help with their rocking Charisma, but they just wanted to murderfuck this thing. Once combat initiated, I immediately cast Suggestion, entreating her to "treat us with respect and hospitality as due unto guests." She failed her save, but the DM considered murder to fall under 'respect and hospitality', go figure. Next I cast Phantasmal Force to put some sand in her eyes, but she passed her save. I was out of options, aside from hit it till it dies, and by it I mean we. Luckily I could fly, she could not, so we got the fuck out of there. Later we came back, this time I was playing a naked hobo Fighter with a paper bag. I threw the bag over her head then wrung her little neck until she was dead. Fuck that bitch.

What did medusa do again outside claim she was prettier than a god?
Why did people come to kill her?

>>55302075
Posidon raped her on the altar to Athena when she was devoted to a life of celibacy as a priestess of Athena, so Athena cursed her.

Perseus needed her head as the only way he could combat an entire army by himself and win.

They're called High Elves for a reason

What if in order to become rock hard the creature staring at her eyes needs to possess a soul?

>>55313802
The results may depend on what other effects not having a soul has on a person, if anything.

>>55313819
probably something mild, like the first few minutes of sunlight and moonlight is kinda like not-liquid acid to them, or they can't get erections

>>55313875
Then some gorgons might be less sulky or mad because they can find company that doesn't turn to stone, but on the other hand some gorgons might be motivated to manipulate people into demonic cults or whatever so they get rid of their souls.

Personal favorite was against a basilisk while playing as a sun-worshiping paladin. (think Solaire from Dark Souls) as soon as we identified that the creatures were basilisks, I had my character stare intently at the sun (it IS like a magnificent father after all). Being blinded, I could not meet the gaze of the monsters (or see anything for 4 days, but hey, I wasn't one of the two party members petrified).

Could you survive by taking hallucinogenic drugs so your brain didn't know it was looking at a gorgon?
