I'm curious as to which player that was, but perhaps names should remain omitted to protected the guilty. There's a fine line between Mythic Resonance and Shameless Pastiche. ;-)

I don't know that we need an epicycle for this, really, but I say: "Yay! Epicycles! Let's have one anyway!" ;-) For woof-purposes, however, if one wished to use Tolat, one could use the four "quarter-days" of his orbit (rising, zenith, setting, nadir) as those Certain Days of the Month. As the last one is invisible, this might be particularly inconvenient to the Telmori, in whose language the phrase for "in seven days time" means, freely translated, "Shit, I don't have that many claws on one paw..."

Is it true that one of the two times Talor's laughter failed him is when he heard a truly terrible pun? ;-)

Agreed, but it sounds more like a HQ power to actually _do_ this, rather than a 3-point spell. I have to agree that there are lots of highly playable wrinkles on having something like this happen _very occassionally_... Anyone care for a quick _Terminator_ knock-off?
BTW, which description of the LBQ mentions this incident?
Slainte,
