This is slightly off topic, but it shares the same kind of d&d humour that OOTS does, i'm sure anyone that reads this thread would get a kick out of it: Has anyone else been watching 'Doraleous & Associates' at the Escapist? Most of the escapist stuff is crap (apart from zero puntuation), but this new weekly series they've been running is getting better and better each week. The first 3 episodes are a little shaky, but once it gets to the 4th episode on it starts getting really good. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/doraleous-and-associates

The spell could be anything, in that edition there was a feat that let you describe how any spell you cast would appear as. Rays of disintegrate as conjured unicorns, crazy poo poo like that.

Also, Thog is the best reason for the continued existence of the Linear Guild.

It seems like that would make Spellcraft checks to determine which spell is being cast that much harder.

That was the mechanical benefit of it. I think it was called Thematic Magic or something along those lines.

Doesn't every little boy go through a phase where he knows absolutely everything there is to know about dinosaurs? And nice to see Rich is not going to use a strip to fill in the other characters about what's going on. Wonderful use of the word defenestration too.

seaborgium posted:Wonderful use of the word defenestration too. Better than D&D, certainly, where the defenestrating sphere spell emphatically does not throw you out any windows. Except in any game I'm running. House rule: if you're the target of that spell, and there's a window anywhere within the spell's range, your rear end is going out it.

Heh . . . didn't realize they'd changed that for Spell Compendium. It definitely does not do that in Complete Arcane. So thanks for seeing the error of your ways and adopting my house rule, Wizards!

Considering Girard's last name is Draketooth, is it possible he has some draconian heritage thus giving him the longevity needed to still be around 60? years after the gates were sealed?

If you read Start of Darkness, Dorukan was still around until about 6 months before the start of the strip. It's not unreasonable for Girard to be alive and kicking, especially given that he is a high-level caster as Zetetica said.

Calaveron posted:Holy poo poo a new comic I sure as poo poo didn't know, I'll leave this here: In parts of the Pacific Rim, ylang ylang, with its heavy and sweet scent similar to jasmine, is associated with weddings and honeymoons. Ylang ylang essential oil comes in four grades: ylang extra, ylang I, ylang II, and ylang III. The grades vary based on when the oil is removed in the steam distillation process. The lengthier the distillation, which generally can take up to 24 hours, the lighter the scent of the oil — ylang extra has the strongest scent and ylang III has the weakest. All grades of ylang ylang essential oil have a fairly heavy scent compared to lighter scented oils, so they should be added carefully to a blend. Ylang ylang can easily overpower less exuberant scents.
