I like Erfworld a lot better now that they have "bonus Thursdays" that explain the plot so the characters don't have to.

I like OotS and you guys are taking this all way, way, way too seriously. I can only assume that the real reason Dragon magazine collapsed was because they were buried under the weight of the angry fan letters they got after they started publishing OotS.

If you're flying away from the blast however, all it's going to do is increase your flight speed. The Doppler effect on Xykon's evil cackling should be pretty rad though.

Redcloak will abandon the hobgoblins now that they serve no purpose. And the hobgoblins will revive Roy just because. And after he proves himself to them, he will become a master of the Iron Heart style. And Ray will be a Warblade and Xykon will be FUUUUUUCKED. I wish.

TheFuzzyLumpkin posted:It sorta reminds me of a trick in Heroes of Might & Magic (oh how I love this game). Send a hero out with just a single weak troop to engage the enemy, but then just have them cast a damaging spell on the enemy's troops. Of course, you lose the 2500 gold you spent to hire the hero, but you can easily kill off more than 2500 gold worth of troops if the hero is armed with a good spell. Edit: You know, now that I think about it, I'll bet the levelling system is just like the one in HoMM: The unit as a whole doesn't level, just the warlord. Stanley says as much. I would enjoy Erfworld a lot more if it updated more often and moved through the plot at a quicker pace. I don't think that the cutesy names are ZOMG ROFL hilarious, but I don't know why everyone hates them. I think the comic would be more boring if Parson wasn't a huge geek and the troops were standard knights and dragons. Halloween Jack fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Jun 19, 2007 |

New Erfworld. It appears that Stanley's reliance on uncroaked troopers is going to bite him in the rear end. Worse, it could screw up Parson's masterstroke. Of course, I was never a big fan of Ender's Game type plans, anyway.

You guys get a billion pages of faggotry about D&D alignment, I get one or two pages about Erfworld. Deal. t t NutShellBill posted:The fact that the arkenpliers can take down undead is a minimal concern; all of the overlords in the dragon group are expendable, and the arkenhammer ensures that Stanley could order a full withdrawl if he needed to. Anson's welcome to engage dragons head on to get to them as well.

I think they'd have been fine if they stuck to the update schedule. Since they don't, getting one of those feels like getting cheated out of a regular comic. Honestly, most of Erfworld's problems would be fixed by a consistent schedule.

Yeah, I'm sure Stanley's ability to make dragons swarm around and threaten to toast Parson was due to the Arkenhammer. In fact, for all we know, Gobwin Knob may not even produce dragons; he may only have them because of the Arkhenhammer. (Or, if the "game" is anything like many other games of its type, like Heroes of Might and Magic, his town would only be producing one colour of dragon if it produced them at all. I'll bet him having several colours of dragon is due to the Arkenhammer.)

Guys, we need to stop making GBS threads up this thread with Erfworld discussion, so we can get back to arguing over D&D rules minutiae or whether Haley killed 23, 24, or 25 hobgoblins. Anyway, I still really hope Doombats doesn't get croaked, and btw, those treant things are loving creepy. "Uhuhuhuhuh!"  (neck snap)

The way I ruled it is that when someone gets undeadified, their soul is captured or held in a sort of stasis, and what's running their body is basically an evilfied version of their personality, like a corrupted copy of a file. Killing the undead releases the soul so the original person can be raised. But Idunno how it works according to official rules. Edit:  True Resurrections specifically says that it can revive someone who's been turned undead and then destroyed.

I am really annoyed by everyone's tendency to have to play some sort of goof-rear end creature/template combination just because it makes them a badass in combat. Yeah, it's super-cool that your half-dragon half-fiend minotaur riding a dire elephant is unbeatable in combat, dude. How about play something that can actually communicate with the people he meets, instead of inciting every commoner in sight to run for torches and pitchforks?

Actually, I don't think that emphasizing the dungeon thing contributes to it, if you do it right. Usually the same people who are doing this stuff aren't packing basic equipment when they go into dungeons.

greatn posted:I used to enjoy Bob and George honestly, mainly the way the characters would gently caress with each other when it came to time travel mechanics. But man in retrospect it sucks. Then ending really sucked, too. The whole arc was mary sueing his characters versus another character that out mary-sues them. It's over now though, and I like the subcomic MSPaint Masterpieces by another guy on that site though.

More AD&D weirdness: For those of you who don't know, the reason Rangers get TWF is because that was an extra benny given to them in AD&D 2nd ed., for whatever reason. You didn't have to use it, but you could if you wanted. Then, of course, the Drizzt books started, and so they had to incorporate TWF into Rangers in 3.0. Why they didn't just give them fighter bonus feats, I have no idea.
