Mediums

[Loki Hunter]

I'm just wondering whether anyone thinks psychics and mediums will have a better chance of survival given they can talk to the dead 'n' all?

Not exactly planning or preparation. Moved to the Zombie combat.

Do they even have a better chance of survival right now, "pre-apocalypse"? Are the dead already in the habit of warning them that they're about to be in a car wreck, or that they should have that funky lookin' mole looked at?

Clearly neither one of you have "the gift". I am thinking religion?

No, I'm just thinking that mediums seem to get their info "after the fact", and psychics never seem to see that runaway bus heading right for them.

Or they couch their channeled "information" in such broad strokes that they could say anything and at least be half right.

"I'm sensing that your beloved deceased husband has something to tell you. Yes. Something he wanted to say when he was alive but couldn't because something came between you two ... this part is unclear .... do you know what your beloved is talking about? What? That you two couldn't stand each other, you say? Why yes! I'm sensing that now. That's what your miserable bastard of a deceased husband is telling me.... that he couldn't tell you something important because you two couldn't stand to stay together in the same room long enough for him to say it!

Oh. He's fading now... he's fading... I've lost him. Maybe we can get a clearer picture next week. That'll be $75."

Perhaps if they get struck down they become one with the force?

I respect anyone's right to decide their own views on the supernatural for themselves. Tim Minchin summarizes mine nicely in this nine-minute beat poem:

Like other force-sensitives, or "Forcefuls", they would lack the training necessary to make use of it.

Well, let's hope that the dead can hold better conversations than the undead.

[by-the-throat]

My understanding is that a medium talks with spirits, ghosts, and other intangible type intelligent undead.

Wouldn't do a thing against zombies, which are just vicious meat puppets without minds or souls. So the chances of a medium initiating a meaningful conflict resolution dialogue with the shuffling hordes is pretty unlikely. Any mediums attempting it would likely end up taking a sabbatical in the afterlife pretty quickly.

Mediums and psychics aren't going to be able to chat with zeds, but clerics and necromancers, as well as anyone capable of learning the proper level of Turn Undead will have a much easier time of things. Failing that, just find the one that summoned them and interrupt his casting, or if it's a lich, aim for the amulet (phylactery) around his neck to defeat him and ground his summons. If possible, use a soul-eating weapon on the phylactery to absorb all the souls that the lich was using to sustain himself.
