Nissa's Binding has given rise to a rat's nest of consent issues. Many players consider casting the spell a belligerant act, and Empaths have suffered both in-character retaliation and Gamemaster-issued Warnings for using the spell on players. |
|||
From an Empath's perspective, since Empaths are severely restricted from engaging in violence, Nissa's Binding is the '''only''' even moderately effective tool available in a conflict. Contrary to the above statement, it has been GM-endorsed according to policy as a legitimate recourse for Empaths in a consented conflict. The warnings that were issued in the past were the result of GM confusion on the applicability of the spell in conflict situations. |
|||
All that being said, however, like any action in the game, under the right circumstances it can give consent as well. |
