Yeah, I mean, who'd expect discussion about D&D rules in the discussion thread for a comic based on lampooning D&D rules?

SuperKlaus posted:And what the hell, four or five people from the last few pages talking about OoTS starting to suck? I just have never liked the Azure City. I didn't like it in the beginning and I don't like it now. I want them to go back to wandering the countryside in search of adventure or at least random sidequests. Hopefully the next gate is like in a lost ruin or something where there won't be any NPCs around for miles aside from bandits.

She can't become a snarly death knight, I want her to wander off and re-appear by suprise as the leiutenant of elan's dad who may not ever even be mentioned again! Ferrinus, your idea is inferior to my own and I insist we debate our respective fanfiction predictions for the next ten pages.SuperKlaus posted:Maybe you should take it to another thread, Ferrinus and happyelf.

I wonder what the Snarl would look like in the comic today should we see a bit of it? I always assumed it would just be the crayon scrawl, but the crayon indicated flashback, so I'm wondering it viewed in the comic proper it would be a mess of writhing solid lines.

How did Redcloak and Xykon escape is my question. They didn't even start moving till almost the same round Miko destroyed the crystal, and that was huge explosion. It's reminding me of one of those bad animes where they'll have the bad guy almost defeated andh e always escapes at the last minute. Or season 4 of 24.

It was heavily implied that Nale and his father had a falling out, early in the strip when Elan and Nale fight for the first time. The whole reason Nale turns on Elan is because he doesn't take Elan rejecting him well, and says that "nobody rejects him, not Elan, not his father or anyone." I don't believe it says that Nale killed him though. Seeing as how he's dropped two fights to Elan now, it seems unlikely. More so, it seems less likely that Nale wouldn't take control of his father's empire/army in the event that he killed him. Also, it feels really silly to type Elan and Nale over and over.

Shockwaves, much like falling, rely on impact with solid objects to harm you through sudden deceleration. If you're flying away from the blast however, all it's going to do is increase your flight speed. The Doppler effect on Xykon's evil cackling should be pretty rad though.

Which is why a big shockwave can kill, since the mass at the front of your body is accelerated against the rest of you, and the entire body gets fatally compressed.

True enough, but this doesn't work so well against skeletal undead who are already flying away as fast as their overland flight spell will let them. Notice that Xykon is between Redcloak and the explosion, the better to protect a smash prone phylactery.

Also it is technically a magical dimensional explosion which might have special non named character killing properties. I believe those are fairly common.

A Lich who fell 20' would still take the D6 damage, even though the ground probably isn't magical.

RickoniX posted:What if the ground is magical but not blunt? Well, if the Lich falls into a pit trap with +1 spikes at the bottom, that's magical Piercing damage. He'd take damage from the fall, but not the spikes. farraday posted:What if you get knocked into an the branch of a magical tree, does that count as magical blunt damage? Technically yes, but the damage is from the impact rather than being struck by the tree. RickoniX posted:What if I swing a lich at an animated +1 club, who takes damage? Depends. Do you have Weapon Proficiency: Lich? If not, the Lich would take damage because you can't properly weild him. If so, you'd still have to be making Sunder attempts to damage a weapon.

(no insult meant) I don't really mind talk about Miko's alignment (this thread was born of it) and now that I look at it a little more I see Ferrinus and happyelf were being quite civil and I thank them for it. I just saw one of those arguments straight out of D&D the forum where obviously nobody was convincing anybody. farraday posted:What if you get knocked into an the branch of a magical tree, does that count as magical blunt damage?

MikeJF posted:But what do you beat his soul to death with, then? Another soul. Duh.  Since the soul is technically the essence of the creature itself, it has the same extraordinary abilities. Damage reduction is an (Ex) ability and creatures with Damage Reduction can bypass the same DR of other creatures (ie, A vampire with DR X/magic and silver has its natural attacks count as magic and silver for the purposes of bypassing DR). Since the Lich has DR 15/Magic and Bludgeoning, its soul would, too. This is all more or less moot because the phylactery is a magic item, thereby fullfilling the magic requirement, and most of them are blunt anyway. Even those that aren't usually have a flat surface.

Vicissitude posted:Another soul. Duh. Not only that but Phalactery's have a hardness of 20, that's the same as adamantine. Therefore Phylactery's are magical blunt adamantine weapons. Seriously why would you want to destroy it? Just kill the lich every week or so and use it to beat up things you run across for fun and profit.

Hey guys, if like OOTS, you would probably enjoy the The Intercontinental Union of Disgusting Characters: http://home.netcom.com/~rogermw/ADnD/ Which basically is like OOTS but in 1st edition AD&D instead of 3.5. And without pictures. quote:Ringman rubbed his finger bones. "You've more than proven your strength to me, young lady. You'll make an excellent warrior."
