Editing Lady of Pain (section)

==Crunch==
She is left deliberately statless to prevent powergaming players trying to fight her or actually coming up with ways to defeat her in combat and is automatically assumed to win whatever fight she gets into. Her attacks basically go like this: The Lady of Pain floats toward you. Her shadow falls over you, and you feel the pain of ten thousand knives flaying the flesh from your bones. You die. The only way to defend against the Lady of Pain's attacks is to grab your character sheet before the [[DM]] manages to tear it up.

If she knows what's good for her, she stays the fuck away from [[Bloody Path|15th level 4th edition rogues]] (how can She cast a shadow on herself?), [[Pun-Pun]], and the [[Neutronium golem]].

...We joke about the above, but it is, unfortunately, common for [[That Guy|certain kinds of DM]] to kill her off with their BBEG to show how strong the campaign villain is ("oh mah Gawd, da villain just keeled da lady of pain, he's soo strong"). Any player faced with such a brand of dumbfuckery should seriously consider rebellion or physical violence.

Ignoring that killing the Lady of Pain would wreck the absolute balls out of not just Planescape, but utterly unravel every single aspect of the game system's settings on a fucking submolecular level, anyone who COULD pull off such a hypothetical would be placed far beyond the realm of actually having to worry about any threat in existence, let alone the hapless player characters whose sheets got wasted on this drivel. To give you an example, there used to be this god named [[Aoskar]]. He was what would've been the ''perfect'' god for Sigil if ever it were to have one, and she fucking ''ONE-SHOTTED HIM'' with a snap of her fingers!  And the only reason why she even bothered to kill him was because one of her Dabus turned to worshipping him.

Very few sane players would try to take on a god, even if their character is at the max level with truly powerful gear (and in case of spellcasters, some really OP spells). The gods can do as they will to us, after all. In some editions some less-powerful gods might have one or two abilities that a PC would get a saving throw against... ''but the Lady of Pain can do as SHE wills to a god.'' <b>DO. NOT. FIGHT. HER.</b>

Some [[Internet Troll]] decided to make fun of both [[Planescape]] fans and the haters of [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]] by releasing a phony 4e-style "statblock" of the Lady of Pain, which still occasionally pops up on /tg/ when somebody really wants to piss off the Planescape fans, beyond just trolling them about the [[World Axis]]. Ironically, if you actually read the "statblock", it's basically done in the same vein as [[Cthulhu]] in most editions of [[Call of Cthulhu]], where Her every action lets Her make an attack whose effect is "You're dead, no saves" and Her defensive stats are all some variant of "It don't work, and fuck you for trying".
