"Female"?

Wouldn't he have found out about that by now?

Anyone else I'd say yes, but this is Elan.

Sane. Emotionally stable. As smart as everyone thinks I am.

Any number of things you'd say in an emotionally frustrating moment. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

That's been my philosophy on V's gender, frankly. If it never matters to the story, and it's never revealed, it doesn't exist. Saves me a lot of sperging over minute details that may well be goofs by the creator.

Elan's performance oratory could use some work, that's for sure.

Definitely enjoying this arc, though. Wonder Ian's interpretation of Elan's rambling. If he can hear it. He shouldn't be put on the battlefield, if his "unentertaining" plain still works.

But what if someone gave him the Halfing Courage Rock in addition to Lizardfolk Victory String? Would he do better then? I hope so! :ohdear:

There's nothing wrong with the Linear Guild.

Your eye shifts to the last panel thinking he's terrified by the violence, but no, he's looking at his own hands in horror. I got a good chuckle out of that, it always impresses me when stick figures manage to pull off effectively visual gags.

Didn't do much for me until that last panel, but the last panel made me laugh out loud.

Joke is in older versions of D&D a common housecat literally could kill a level one fighter with a couple of hits, or a wizard in one hit.

"A housecat can kill a level 1 commoner" was a 3rd edition meme, too. I remember some grognard actually calculated that there was something like an 80% chance of the cat killing a commoner in the first full attack. I'm glad Wizards decided to move away from that now; there was nothing to stop the cats from ruling over the population though sheer terror.

This term has been around for about 30 years.

Yeah, it comes from an old French word.

I didn't think grognard was that bad of a word but I did misuse it, in retrospect. I've been trying to eliminate "sperg" from my vocab and "grognard" was the next thing I associated with fussy gamer.

Don't be dense Cabbit, that literally is what people who think a housecat should be able to kill a level 1 pc call themselves.

Old D&D just simulated allergies without saying so. I have several friends who could very easily be killed by a housecat.

Pope Guilty posted:

Napoleon's veteran guard was called "les Grognards", or grumblers, because that was what they did best (aside from crushing enemies in battle). :hist101:

This term was later applied to wargamers/RPG players who couldn't just shut up and enjoy the games instead of arguing about the smallest details. So stop being such a spergin' grog, Cabbit!
