... if only there was a DnD general or three to ask this question...

What are you even getting from posting inane threads like this?

He's an android.

>>97492798
He's not undead, he's a living thing. A mockery of life and an affront to god, but a living thing nonetheless.

What's the point of trying to contain anons if you're not even going to succeed at it?

>>97492798
Next time, OP, google "Flesh Golem"
>>
>>97492934
Still the usual thing where you think anyone interacting with you is OP? You are being trolled, you have been for the past...who fucking even cares years. You are still falling for it. And still fail to realize your seething may very well be their end goal, even after people tell you. Keep going then anon, let's see how well it goes for you.

You are a dog chained to a leash, kids throw rocks at you but you can't do shit about it, besides barking at them. They laugh and fuck off, their deed done, and you think your barking scared them away, and saying "well they're not getting their rocks back :) ". Sad on all fronts.

At least you were right about one thing, they do fuck off. Enjoy your empty slop thread

No, did you even read it? The monster being alive and sentient was the crux of the moral conflict.
>>97492989
He fancies himself an artist. The truth is trolling /tg/ is babby mode and he can't cut it on the big boy boards. If he could, he'd be there instead :).

>>97493066
>if you engage with me you are defending the thread
That's a curious leap of logic.
>>
>>97493107
If youre not defending it then why are you so upset people arent engaging with it
>>
>>97493112
Dude, I see some retards struggling with the concept that they are being trolled, and I'm telling them things how they likely are. Me being upset or caring about anything else here are things that you are trying to push with no basis in reality.
>anon asks a question
>I give him an answer
That's it. The basis of dicussion. AI can get behind this, why can't some anons?
>>
>>97492798
No, because the creation is a living organism in the canon material, just inhumanly physically resilient. Regardless of setting/system, unless you're going off of pastiches, he would be a living creature.

ooooof they got you with the dog bit huh.

So much for totally not defending the thread lol
>>
>>97492858
He's not an affront to God or God would never have allowed his creation. The man's rejection is living proof that the arrogance of humanity in comparing himself to God is unwarranted and causes only humiliation, horror, and suffering.
>>
>>97493204
You've been posting here anon, you are engaging. And I clearly said "caring about anything else". Of course I care about the question I answered, and what came after. I don't get how you could have trouble with this.
And again, that curious leap of logic where if anyone engages with you, it means defending the thread. Do what you like anon, report it, hide it, keep posting, whatever. Just know that, if OP's goal was to trigger your response, he succeeded. Probably not for the first time, and most definitely not for the last, because he gets positive feedback out of this.
Keep going then, by all means. Have a good day.

It's subtitled as The Modern Prometheus for a reason, anon. Prometheus was a titan in Greek mythology who defied the gods by giving fire to humanity, and Mary Shelly did not hold a positive opinion of Prometheus due to her vegetarian beliefs (no seriously).

Not specifying a game with a question whose answer depends on the game should be punishable by permaban and a "natural causes" death.

And you expect me to know what the fuck youre talking about?
>>
>>97494620
I'd sooner count him as aberration or monstrous humanoid, constructs in D&D tend to be unintelligent, and the creature is anything but unintelligent.

A more interesting question is whether or not in the story if God ensouled the creature, or if it's merely a manlike animal.

You can also tell them
Why punish before they know it's a crime?

Adam and Eve were literally incapable of comprehend a bad action

It's like putting a toddler in the driver's seat of a car then blaming them for a crash
>>
>>97492798
It depends on the game. In Dungeons and Dragons, this makes sense. But in the Chronicles of Darkness, a Promethean and a Vampire have separate weaknesses.
>>
>>97492798
He's a Construct. A Construct made of flesh, certainly, but a Construct all the same.

If she did explicitly say that she did so outside of the book because she did not explicitly write it in the novel and she can take a flying leap with her opinions on the matter, after her corpse is in some way reanimated of course.

>>97497608
Not to mention it's very much up in question how much of the authorship is her own work and how much was contributed by Percy and Byron.

I always got the feeling Frankenstein's Monster is more alive than your average human despite being made from corpses.

>>97492826
Palladium has undead and anti undead abilities. And to answer the question, probably not. Palladium undead abilities make a hard distinction on undead created by supernatural means and not corpses that have been juiced up until they start moving again.
>>
>>97493319
Frankenstein is literally wrong for reviling, rejecting and despising his creation. This is made extremely clear. Did you even read the book?
>>
>>97497672
Considering Frankenstein was written precisely because Byron wanted he, Mary, Percy, and his physician to each try writing a ghost story, it's unlikely he wrote it. What would be the point if he did?
>>
>>97498019
Yes I have, actually, and I agree that Doctor Frankenstein is the monster.
>>
>>97498028
Wouldn't *he* be the modern Prometheus then? Prometheus defied the gods and the one who was doing the defying here was Frankenstein (by creating the monster).
>>
>>97498032
That's what I was saying.

For lying about it afterwards when they did know it was wrong.

Yes, even if he's not flagged as "undead".

Nta but if you're so happy and not here, then why are you still here getting so mad at the barking dog for not playing along with your gay little "pretend I actually play traditional games" roleplay thread?

Anon is neither the chained dog nor the children. He's the tired neighbor listening to the dog barking again.

>>97498022
Mary did the writing while Byron was doing Percy.
>>
>>97492798
Not usually, they are classified usually as alchemical creations (Promethean: The Created) or supernatural constructions (D&D).

Since we already have this thread: remember when in the book Victor destroys the almost ready Bride for the Creature since he is afraid that they move to some desolated part of the world (the Creature mentions jungles of South-America) and start to breed, and that this new race of creatures will conquer the whole world since they are bigger and stronger than baseline humans.
Just thinking that it would be an interesting alternative history tabletop setting/scenario.
>>
>>97498119
I would talk with the dog's owner or the children's parents, but that's not an option here. The children themselves are untouchable because they run away. So I shout at the dog to shut the fuck up.
>>
>>97498109
His name isn't actually Adam, either.
>>
>>97498060
Also because once you introduce the idea of evil to an immortal, you're fucking them up forever. Life and death and the sacrifice of Christ are meant to separate us from the grievous error of first sin.
>>
>>97498171
>this new race of creatures will conquer the whole world since they are bigger and stronger than baseline humans
This isnt what would happen though. The children would be normal humans with the genetics of whatever dead people's gonads he stapled into them.
>>
>>97493319
>it's subtitled as The Modern Prometheus for a reason, anon.
Victor is modern Prometheus.
>>
>>97498205
In the novel, the creature is not a resurrected man. It is a new form of life that resembles a man. This is why Victor finds him beautiful before he brings him to life but feels atavistic disgust afterwards. He can sense on a base bestial level that this is not a man.
>>
>>97498205
>gonads he stapled into them
Actually transplanted testicles will produce hybrid DNA
>>
>>97498205
Like that one anon already said the novel never discusses how Victor created Adam but in the book Victor did say that he used to creep around graveyards and slaughterhouses so the "Flesh Golem" archetype of the Universal movie version has some base in the book.
>The children would be normal humans with the genetics of whatever dead people's gonads he stapled into them.
Well, yes, that would probably be the most logical conclusion if the Creature is a Flesh Golem and not a new form of life. But for the sake of the scenario, if you will, let us assume that the Creature and the Bride can breed and produce a monstrous race that will threaten mankind.
Of course if the creature is created late 18th century and they breed as fast as normal humans they don't have a big enough population to fight before mankind invents stuff like atomic bomb etc. so that is also a problem for an apocalyptic monster war scenario.
>>97498233
In this particular case I would assume that a lightning bolt to the assembled corpse would also cause some supernatural mutations (if we go with the Universal classic).
>>
>>97498222
The book can call it whatever it wants, the book can't change what it is, and it is an organism made from transplanted parts from cadavers.
>>
>>97498197
I'm sorry your janny application was rejected

That has to be a joke.

>>97498299
Could animals, particularly carrion eaters, sense that he was made from cadavers?

I dunno, ask /5eg/
