There is no feat that allows you to fire a bow in melee without drawing an attack f opportunity. There is a spell that lets you do it, a first or second level Ranger spell with cast time of "reaction" though. I don't see how she'd have access to it.

She doesn't. He's swinging in the same panel as she's attacking in almost every case; he's taking AoOs. She's killing his flankers before he gets a chance to make Sneak Attacks out of the, however. Assuming green-boy there had an infinite supply of expendable minions, he'd wear her down-- but he doesn't. That's why Doctor Doom always wins in the end and this chump is going to end up getting gutted by Belkar.

She's killing his flankers before he gets a chance to make Sneak Attacks out of the, however. Even so, attacks of opportunity happen before whatever event that triggered them completes (so, for example, you can't trip someone and then trip them again on the opportunity attack when they try to stand), so he'd still get Sneak Attack damage since Haley wouldn't get a chance to kill the flanker until after his free shot at her. In conclusion, I'm a tremendous nerd, and this comic was funny.

She had Initiative. A round is about 6 seconds, so really it could all be happening at the same time. It's DnD rules set in a reality.

It could also be that the universe is unaware of that specific rule. As we saw way earlier, the "GM" didn't remember Durkon's to-hit bonus until Roy pointed it out and the in-universe effects occurred afterwards, and obviously, nobody in the current team is going to bother to point out rules not in their favor. ... and now I'm going to go leap off a cliff.

DaveWoo posted:Why? The oracle said before the end of the year, Belkar would draw his last breath. He later qualified this by looking directly into the camera and saying he meant that completely literally, and yes, he meant 2008 to the readers. Edit: I was wrong http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0572.html is the comic I was referring to, but it says he will die before the end of the "in-comic" year, not the real year. I could have sworn it used to say it the other way around. greatn fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Dec 30, 2008 |

A few people really pitched poo poo-fits about it because when people were posting about Erfworld they'd come into the thread thinking there was an OOTS update, and eventually hermanos said to stop talking about Erfworld.

Could it not also be that this new Belkar is different than the old Belkar and the old Belkar has indeed breathed his last breath?

Well, the Oracle definitely considered such a thing to be a death, relatively speaking.

I like the new "kind of" helpful belkar. He's almost channeling elan now with his kind of meta-narrative sensibility.

I don't say this often about OotS humor, if indeed ever, but the "mobs" gag felt really out of place and forced. Kind of killed the flow of the strip for me.

You know, I didn't fully get the "mobs" joke until just this very moment, which actually makes me appreciate it more. Also, it makes me feel a little dumb, but I'm used to that.

It's weird, though, I sort of see what Captain Oblivious means - it didn't feel out of place until I realized the clever pun, and now it feels kind of shoehorned in somehow. Humor is hard.

I wouldn't really call it a shoehorned joke. It's just a corny pun, like something you would hear on Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Holy poo poo, no one has posted it yet? http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0620.html  Click here for the full 740x933 image. I have to admit, I'm at a loss as to the punchline. Is Haley just freaked because Belkar is advocating non-violence, or am I missing a reference to a previous strip.
