+Oltux72 he/him Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Gravitational Lashings are supposed to change how gravity operates on an object. So far, so good. But what is an object? Let's make a thought experiment. A Skybreaker has lashed himself to a wall and is standing at a 90 degree angle to normal gravity. (Skybreakers avoid Adhesion coming into play). Not every Skybreakers is bald. Let's assume the Skybreaker is male for a reason we will come to later. Which way will his hair hang? His clothing? And assuming it is allowed, he urinates. Where does it go?

Knight of Iron she/they Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Probably has something to do with the way objects or people view themselves. I think something like this is stated in TES, but basically it’s all about cognitive perception. Like, when someone Lashes a door, what external force determines which molecules or planks of wood are part of the “door”? Well, it’s what exactly the door considers part of itself. Similarly I think the parts that humans generally consider themselves, like their hair, will be affected, because the Intention of the Lashing is to Lash themselves. 1
