Talk:Synaptic Shock (3.5e Maneuver)

Death without the Death

Cool maneuver, but why is this [Death] effect? -- Eiji-kun (talk) 10:08, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

You're frying their nervous system with negative energy. (removed death tag, should only be used for death effects, I don't know why I put it in there)Fluffykittens (talk) 10:54, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

...But wouldn't you fry the nervous system with electricity? And negative energy shuts living systems down - if you're overloading the foe, that means they're getting too much of a good thing, so positive energy seems more appropriate. Let me put it like this - shutting a person down with negative energy is like putting a computer virus onto a computer and letting the virus hack it apart. Shutting a person down with positive energy is like putting Norton Antivirus onto a computer, then sitting back to watch the show as Norton Antivirus mistakes essential files for computer viruses and deletes them. (Yes, it's been known to do that. It's also been known to mistake itself for a virus and attempt to delete itself.) --Luigifan18 (talk) 17:29, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
