Editing Lady of Pain (section)

==Crunch==
She is left deliberately statless (much like Caine over in [[Vampire: The Masquerade|another 90s RPG]]) to prevent powergaming players trying to figure out ways to stomp her, and she's assumed to win any fight by fiat. Combat with the Lady of Pain basically goes 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]] throws it in the shredder. To further elaborate why messing with the Lady is a terrible idea, the writers created [[Aoskar]], a god tailor-made for worship in Sigil. The moment one of her dabus began to worship him she deleted Aoskar ''and'' all of his temples with a snap of her fingers.

Because [[5e]] is made of cocks and 5e's Planescape book is made of [[AIDS]] cocks, her "you die" was nerfed. Now if you sufficiently piss her off she "only" sets you to 1HP from raw agonizing pain. If you ''still'' refuse to stop poking her after that she just mazes you.

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]]. It's lamentably common for [[That Guy|certain kinds of DM]] to kill her off to show how strong his [[Mary Sue|campaign villain]] is ("oh mah Gawd, da villain just keeled da lady of pain, he's sooo strong"). Any player faced with such a brand of dumbfuckery should seriously consider [[The Henderson Scale of Plot Derailment|rebellion]] or [[Rage|physical violence]].

Some [[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]]. 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 is "You're dead, no saves" and Her defensive stats are all some variant of "It don't work, and fuck you for trying".
