I was just talking to a player about if he wanted his character to be able to turn invisable. Someone in the room who does game joined and and the conversation spiralled into this question:

Can you see the hallow man if he had a spray tan?

Thoughts?

Yes. Anything other easy questions you'd like answered?

Well, the Invisibility spell (and variations) affect what you wear and hold too, so a spray tan would be hit by it too. However, the literary Invisible Man would be made visible by it because the means which made him invisible only extended to his biological components.

 Despite the misspelling, the OP seems to be referring to the movie Hollow Man, starring Kevin Bacon. In which case, yes, a spray tan would cause him to become visible since they pretty much did exactly that in the movie when they made a latex mask of his face so they could see his face...

I'd rather assume the reference comes from The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells, not starring Kevin Bacon.  The first film based one this book came out in 1933, well before Bacon's piece of crap.  Hell, even the Invisible Woman from Fantastic Four came out before Hollow Man.

I know that's really off-topic.  I just wanted to stoop to your level of trying to make someone else feel inferior by making unfounded references and pointing out minor mistakes.  I don't feel like getting into how a solid latex mask is not quite exactly like an aerosol chemical.

Just, ugh, stop trying to make people feel stupid when they didn't even do anything. Everyone.

I don't know you very well, and I have taken a limited liking of you, but you do realize where you are, right?


Let's keep it at limited.  I don't deal with expectations very well

Now that was a compliment.  I can tell.  "YOU suck. Hard."  "You suck. HARD."

Thank you...  Thank you.

And Mad Jack is like the tamest guy here, and really doesn't deserve your ire.



MJ is the tamest guy here? Really? The guy who freely admits to hearing voices (among other things) in his head? And just think of all those celebrities he killed, just so hed have something to post about, and you think HE's the tamest guy here!?
Hmmmm, you know, after thinking about it some, as messed up as MJ is, I think you might be right!!

That only applies to stuff on the person when the spell is cast.  Stuff applied after is not impacted by the spell.  Glitterdust is a good example.  So think of spray tan as a poor man's Glitterdust or something.

Er, at least that's how we always ruled it.

Why were you players armed with spray tans?

Cuz buying a can of spray tan is way cheaper than renting a Wizard.  I mean, the extra insurance required alone makes it practically impossible.

  He's DMing for the Kardashians?

 As far as being the tamest guy here, I think it'd be more accurate to say I'm one of the more relatively polite people here. I make a point of being relatively well-behaved when on public forums...
 If I wasn't self-censoring, the Orcs wouldn't just ban me, they'd come to my house and shoot me, lol.

I think I'm the "goody two-shoes" *note to self: find origin of that phrase* of the OTTers. Always polite, never banned, most often helpful.



Rest of ya'all are a bunch of rabble rousers!
