MonsterEnvy posted:The most I have seen it vary in literally everything is from skeleton to flesh stretched on bones. I think even in D&D a lich looks like they did when they were alive upon becoming a lich, but the fleshy parts of their body require upkeep and they don't actually need them. Since the kind of person who goes for the walking corpse method of immortality doesn't usually care how they look as long as they have massive arcane power, they usually tend to just not perform the upkeep and let it rot. so wiz is a lich who cares about her appearance basically

Slime posted:so wiz is a lich who cares about her appearance basically Which makes a lot of sense given her backstory (that I doubt the anime will cover since she's a side character even throughout the novels.) Basically she got stuck with the choice of becoming a lich or dying young. Mokinokaro fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Jan 21, 2017 |

By the way, the Megumin prequel novel got a manga adaptation, and there's a scanlation up on Batoto. Now I know where Chomusuke came from! http://bato.to/comic/_/comics/kono-subarashii-sekai-ni-bakuen-wo-r18962

The prequel manga is funny, if a bit skeevy in the ways KonoSuba usually is (a panty shot of an outright child character is really unnecessary), but something towards the end of the last chapter has me a bit confused and I'm not sure if it's the translation or the manga itself: Early on, it's established that Crimson Demons graduate after learning Advanced Magic. In the last chapter, meanwhile, Yunyun learns Intermediate Magic (not having enough points for Advanced Magic yet) out of desperation, then Megumin learns Explosion, stuff gets blown up, they're saved, etc. But the narration after that has Megumin say that the town doesn't know they know magic yet, then both graduate a few days later. How's that work? To me it seems like it's saying that they demonstrated that they learned magic and were allowed to graduate, but, while I could see Megumin being allowed through despite not having Advanced Magic because she learned something even more advanced, Yunyun picked up something lesser, and also used skill points she was saving up, putting her further from Advanced Magic. Something seems a bit off; either they let her slide, didn't verify that she was actually using Advanced Magic, or I'm missing something. Or it's a mistake I guess, I don't know. Or they didn't actually need Advanced Magic, just any magic, and Yunyun was aiming for it arbitrarily, maybe? The first chapter makes it seem like that's specifically what they need. Anyone know what's up here? I suppose it's not a major detail, but it's bothering me a bit.

The Crimson Demons operate on the rule of cool. Megumin was probably cool enough to the teachers to be able to graduate. Yunyun is a weirdo though. They probably just didn't want to deal with her any longer.

Glancing at the first chapter of the prequel LN, the manga is probably just shortening how it's described so it might read slightly differently depending on how you interpret the phrasing. Mastering ANY magic is effectively graduation. It's just that, Crimson Demons being Crimson Demons, they generally just want to learn Advanced magic and thus hold off on spending skill points until then. Kind of going hand-in-hand with not really being considered a wizard within the clan until you do master Advanced magic, generally (exceptions obviously exist).

AKA, chuuni.

Well, the scene I was referring to was a flashback within the flashback, the (second) time we see Megumin learn that she wants to master Explosions. So, that being seven years before something already happening a year in the past (relative to the beginning of the series), when Megumin starts the series at like thirteen or fourteen (according to what people said in an earlier discussion), means that she was like five or six years old there. Which, by any standards, should be pretty bad.

When the payout is being launched up into the air by an explosion on top of a aerodynamically dubious platform you bet she is going to hit it. Missing is only fun when it leads to painful humiliation after all.

It's not the Darkness is incapable of hitting things (in the lns she gets the final blow on the Dullahan, don't remember if she does in the anime), just that she can only hit stationary targets, and even then only sometimes.

It's interesting that both Darkness and Megumin are only screw-ups because of their own hang-ups and the self-imposed limitations in their 'character builds', in that Darkness refuses to actually take sword-training skills (because it's no fun if you have to hold back to be defeated and humiliated), and Megumin refuses to take things that are not explosion magic. Meanwhile Aqua just has awful luck and intelligence and there is apparently nothing in the game world that can fix those, and they're not even increasing as she levels up.

Megumin doesent have a problem finding a party technically. She is useless in a low level party like in the main town. But an experienced party would be willing to carry her because they usually hunt large bounties, they can deal with the small fry on the way there and then have Megumin nuke the big guy. Darkness on the other hand is borderline useless. Anything with half a brain will just walk around her and attack the party behind her since she barely has any offencive potential to punish ignoring her. She hits like a truck but cant hit anything that can move. When Darkness was with Chris they just had Chris cast bind on things and then Darkness smacked them to death. Of course this isnt ideal for Darkness who wants to take hits and protect people. She basically gets bored and depressed by being useful. Though she is a noble so she is an adventurer to just enact her masochistic dreams. She could just stop and go back to doing things nobles do. But thats why both Megumin and Darkness are in Kazumas party, they get to act the way they want instead of what is actually effective.

Just like D&D  You can make a gimmicky character do some amazing things if you stick to their theme, but there's no helping a good character if the player is a complete idiot

This plotline with the Baron would be kinda dark, if only it wasn't Darkness. e: this Von Karma wannabe prosecutor is no replacement for her, though.
