A flipped idea.

Post by Fastenjaw »

I'm odd :wink:

Well here is my strange idea below. Just popped into my head. It sounds stupid at first but I wonder what the possibility of it working as silver is usually only presented one way.

Silver has usually been presented as the weakness of a were. They can't regenerate due to contact with the stuff and tends to be a poison. Well what if a werewolf was dependent on it instead? As in they need the stuff to regenerate and even to achieve full potential? If they get exposed to too much of it then it could cause complications and even death. So a silver jammed in the gut isnt gonna kill them, its getting too much of the stuff that would be damaging instead. I know this would result in the arguement that they would be unstoppable for sure due to the super strengthed fast regen were versions. But removing it from them instead is what can be the end of them. Also regen use can use up silver stores. Taking too much silver at a time could also spell disaster if they are not careful. Yes I know that was an odd take on the idea. But it would be a rather interesting concept if it could be made to work.

Well...the human body requires water to survive. But drinking too much water can cause your cells to explode and you'll die.

I think it's at least an interesting idea. It's a fresh take on an old concept, and done properly, it could come out fairly interesting.

Huh? I drank lots of water when I was young. LOTS and LOTS of water!! I didn't die.

It made me go the the bathroom really bad!! It came out clear instead of yellow.
Edit.

Oh wait. Nevermind. It depends on the body condition.

You actually need to drink more than 108 glasses of water in less than 24 hours to drown your cells and expire. You'll need double that amount if you're in an area of immense heat like the sahara, i think.

I think that exact word is something like turgor.
