Only Lien has the cloak, but it's been established hat O-Chul never fails a fortitude save.

O-chul has the cloak. Lien is protected by her ring of water breathing.

Paladin saving throws. Honestly I was expecting a Divine Mount shark to fly out of the water but I like the team-breathing solution.

Was 100% sure Lien would summon a mount, but thinking about it, "flying fish" probably doesn't cut it, celestial or not. would they have angel wings?

Pretty sure the paladin who's entire build is based on fighting crazy poo poo at the bottom of the ocean is gonna be able to handle some chilly water. Unless you mean, like, in general and not this specific situation. Who What Now fucked around with this message at 19:50 on May 3, 2016 |

Who What Now posted:Pretty sure the paladin who's entire build is based on fighting crazy poo poo at the bottom of the ocean is gonna be able to handle some chilly water. Yeah, this. And O-Chul survives everything period. Hell, they could just keep switching that ring every few rounds and stay underwater as long as they want. Or if they got impatient, Lien could just summon her shark and have it ram the ice and break them out somewhere else entirely.

What's quite unrealistic here is that somebody just killed two humanoids and simply flies off without looting.

I never realized before how silly the drowning rules are. Fine for potentially dozens of turns, then three turns of 0, -1, dead.

Carrasco posted:Hell, they could just keep switching that ring every few rounds and stay underwater as long as they want. That was my assumption of what they'd do. Team Paladin has been shown to be savvy as hell so far. I also love that this depends on last strip. It took O'chul's wisdom last round to suggest they should disengage and not fight, and Lien's skill and knowledge to know how to do it. And it took too much time with Elan to have her not tell O'chul what the plan was. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 23:33 on May 3, 2016 |

Taerkar posted:I never realized before how silly the drowning rules are. Drown checks are measured in rounds, not turns. A high con paladin can stay under water for several minutes without danger, but then things escalate very quickly and then you die. It's not unrealistic.

I can't tell if the attacker is supposed to be a nonhuman or simply a human wearing these.

That takes care of oxygen, but lien would be passing off her protection against hypothermia a few rounds at a time. You can survive about 10 minutes in 41F water. Considering that these environs are probably closer to -40 than 40, I wouldn't give lien good odds on making it out unscathed. Cold water kills fast.

The best part about the drowning rules is that drowning doesn't deal damage: it sets your HP to zero. So, if you're under some sort of effect that lets you keep fighting at negative hit points, you can drop yourself down to -300 HP, then stick your head in a bucket of water and let Davy Jones heal you back up to 0. Also, you only need one round of air in your lungs to reset the timer entirely. These guys are fine.

Sometimes I hate that this comic exists in a D&D world. I remembered about the ring having protection from cold (it's been wonderful having regular-ish updates so I don't forget details like that by the time they matter...) and I was getting concerned for Lien until I came here and read all the reasons why hypothermia isn't even a possibility. So much for tension. I suppose theoretically they could swap the cloak back and forth too, to whoever's not wearing the ring, but it doesn't sound like there would be much point beyond preventing mild discomfort either way.

Dude, 3-4 strips back both characters explained that they had magic items that protect them from cold and that was the whole joke. e: beaten by above

So much for tension. Hypothermia is a real danger to a level 1-3 commoner (aka, regular humans). A level 10+ paladin can survive falls at terminal velocity, carry a horse on his back, walk for a hundred miles without a break or survive for weeks without food.

So much for tension. The nice thing about the comic lately is that, since at least the start of this book, it has barely if at all referenced D&D concepts, much less leaned on them as heavily as the early comics did. It feels like Burlew's done away with those trappings almost entirely, and in a way so subtle it was barely even noticeable, which is as refreshing an artistic evolution as the more action-friendly stick figure style. Pure rules have never kept him from telling the story he wants to, and that's even more true now. But no matter how dangerous hypothermia or drowning would normally be, it's just not a credible threat to these characters as they've been established, both from the very beginning and within the last few pages.
