Considering that the entire reason anything tastes sour is because it has acid in it, yeah, you're right, Slim. In fact, spinach is bitter: bitter things are bitter because they have bases in them! Gumby, you are as wrong as it is possible to be!

Screw you guys; I haven't had a science class since the early 90s. I was looking for a combination of green and not-good-tasting.

I'll bet if it was a pike instead of a bow, it would taste like spearmint.

I know they're still in the midst of a battle, but I'm suprised Haley didn't yoink all the other magic bows and crossbows off the wall while she was looking them over. Even if the abilities suck for her, that's good money. She better not forget to go back for them.

The upside of working late is that I get to do this again New Strip! Click here for the full 714x933 image. I don't really know 3.5E that well, but doesn't Mr Scruffy wandering off suggest that he isn't Belkar's animal companion, but just an abnormally intelligent housecat? EDIT: /\/\/\/\/\ drat YOU!

He could very well have got off somewhere in the course of the fight. Which, incidentally, there's no way he would have survived without being an animal companion.

Not necessarily, animal companions aren't just slaves who do whatever you tell them too. They'll take orders, but if they're smart enough they can interpret those orders. He might have just told it to cause mayhem and hurt whoever it could. I'm going towards just really smart housecat myself, but the possibility is there.

Chaotic Evil != "dumb as a loving brick". He still doesn't give a poo poo about the rules, decency, or life, but he's aware that he needs to be quiet about it.

Yeah, people who interpret Chaotic Evil as Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain are really selling short some deep roleplaying possibilities. Sometimes the best bad guys are the clever ones who know exactly how much they can get away with. Although apparently he's going to die anyway, so I dunno.

One of the reasons that I hate using alignments is that people are terrible about interpreting them. It's immensely frustrating when players think that CE means killing everyone in sight, and CN means flipping a coin or rolling a dice to see if they push their party members off the ramparts/eat a kitten/poo poo in the hallway. Close contender for worst is Lawful Stupid.

It's really easier to, instead of trying to interpret such stupid PC actions within the normal alignment system, just make "stupid" another alignment component that can be stuck on either end. CE PC decides to stab everything in sight, even the people he needs alive in order to accomplish his greater evil goals? Alignment shift to Stupid Evil. CN thief does the "roll to see if I hug babies or gently caress a dog" shtick? Alignment shift to Chaotic Stupid. Everyone already uses the terms, anyway . . . might as well put them on the character sheet.

All I got to say is I continue to be delighted with Belkar's metamorphosis. I see him becoming twice the rear end he ever was with his newfound cunning.

I think this is how they were basically described in the first edition of AD&D, which is probably to blame.

Some people play chaotic X as psychotic X (I've heard of "chaotic good" characters that have been just as insane as the more traditional evil ones) because they interpret it as a sort of need to actively break laws. So not only CAN your chaotically evil character freely kill the people who hold you back, you SHOULD do it because the law says not to. Which is just a reversal of loving irritating Lawful good characters who will insist on stopping to hunt down the horrifically evil bastard who has hideously and onerously killed that man's dog, or refuse to break into the house of a known enemy because it would be trespassing.

Power word "Lawyer"? Possibly Power Word "Pontification"? I'm guessing creatures from an elemental or alignment based plane would have access to their own particular flavor of power word spells that reflect their own alignments/environment.

Roy needs to shut up. All of his characters are much too wordy but the one who can't even interact with the others really has no reason to say so much. Brevity = soul of wit.

I once had a character who got left behind as a portal closed, separating him from the rest of the party. Supposedly the portal would not open again for two weeks, and we were 30 minutes into our 6-hour session. I understand Roy's peanut gallery banter pretty well. It sucks to be left behind.

I once had a character who was kidnapped by bad guys in an area we had already cleared out, when he went in alone, by order of the party leader. I stayed kidnapped for two weeks, before the DM finally did a one-off session with just me to get free. It was really loving annoying, but I sat and read splatbooks until the DM called each session and apologized to me.
