The word of the day is "apotropaic."

davidschroth says it *is* a cool word, and you should all look it up, and I should encourage you to do so.

You know you're a geek when ...

So, Ok, I'm running a Nobilis game, and we have characters that are the Powers of Luck and Folktales, and I'm trying to figure out how to tie them in with the plot of the Power of Rot (who's currently involved with the Power of Salt...)

And the answer is right here where David put it: apotropaic!

Plot ideas are now fomenting in my mind, or maybe that's fermenting, since Rot is in the picture...

Fate. I've read that book at least four times (it's the best book on San Marco), and never really read that little piece before, or noticed the word. It's a great word.
