MitD XIX: The Potted Plant Is Starting To Look Reasonable

[Crusher]

Rich is looking at his chosen monster and wants an excuse for it to use its lightest attack instead of its hardest one, because it is not a punch and would hit farther than its actual punch would, if physics were allowed to apply. So he invents a hit-the-lightest game, and the monster uses the attack with the most leverage instead of the most damage, which creates good visuals for a monster in the dark.

Please accept this as just a story and not an attempt to persuade you of anything other than the ability to tell multiple stories.

I don't understand. Is there a monster that has those attributes? Or are you arguing that we shouldn't rely on anything we know about MitD because its possible to construct a possible alternative based on narrative choices the Giant might choose to make?

If there isn't such a monster, then this is just making the guessing game more complicated based on narrative choices the Giant *might* make. Which isn't really plausible, because we don't know what story he's telling and therefore don't know what story points he'd want to emphasize with MitD.
