I Enjoy A Good "the Adeptus Mechanicus Would Be Indifferent To Gender Because They're All About Transcending

I enjoy a good "the Adeptus Mechanicus would be indifferent to gender because they're all about transcending the flesh" headcanon as much as the next nerd, but at times I think it would be more interesting – and also much funnier – if their whole Thou Shalt Not Fuck With The Standard Templates (Unless You're Part of the Secret Cool Kids Club) attitude extended to gender as well. Any novice can be a he/him or a she/her, but you need to reach a certain rank before it's considered appropriate to go by it/its. The existence of neopronouns as occult knowledge permitted only to the worthy.

I can't believe this

My DND players just absolutely clowned on my insane homebrew monster....this is what I get for hyping up how strong an enemy is going to be for three months.

The beast of bedlam was an absolutely cracked monster that they needed to get past

363 HP 22AC +15 to hit, multi attack and every attack hits harder than a fireball. Ranged and melee options even an AOE, regeneration, and whenever you hit it you have to save against going flying 30ft and landing prone, it could fly it had legendary resistance and magic resistance ........this thing was all of the awesomeness i could muster without guaranteeing a TPK against my LV 7 players ....or so i thought

They spent over a week (in game )prepping tons of glyphs of warding to make all this happen at once . ....then they Polymorphed into giant apes, enlarged themselves further, got hasted, greater invisibility, freedom of movement and armour of faithed up. Then when this thing was asleep they jumped it

They killed it in three rounds.....that's 18 seconds in game time a little over an hour of our actual lives

The beast of bedlam that had been the scourge of a continent for a thousand years only got two turns before they killed its ass.

(in all seriousness I am glad my players had fun and got to feel powerful.....but I am still a little sad to see my creation die quite so anticlimacticaly )

How could you leave this vital context in the tags ?

Maybe it would help to get over his emotional issues if he made out with Trazyn the infinite or something

Jinx and Belisarius Cawl have a similar level of abandonment issues

I'm at a :.|:; for words.
