Dark One's Might?
Why do you guys think Redcloak has never used his own version of Thor's Might?
I drank some stuff from a drain and it drove me insane.

Re: Dark One's Might?
That spell is designed for buffing in males and Redcloak is a caster only cleric.

Re: Dark One's Might?
As CriticalFailure said, Redcloak is more of a caster type than a melee type. He doesn't even carry a weapon, and it was uncertain that he was wearing armor until the last art upgrade.
Slay Living or Flame Strike are the same level than Righteous Might, and more useful to a non-combatant.

Re: Dark One's Might?
Redcloak is every bit as capable of fighting in melee as Durkon, since every cleric is going to be more or less mechanically identical even if they're completely different people serving completely different deities. Durkon's natural strength and constitution score are likely higher, I suppose. But either way, Redcloak is indeed depicted as unwilling to mix it up in direct combat.

Re: Dark One's Might?
Dark One's Blight, which does the exact opposite (weaken a foe), would seem like a more appropriate mirror.
Also, Durkon's got a bonus to con, medium-sized damage dice, while Redcloak's got a penalty to str and small-sized damage dice. Plus, you know, no shield nor weapon. Even assuming they had the same base stats (they almost certainly did not), Redcloak's at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to melee.Attention LotR fans

Re: Dark One's Might?
Redcloak doesn't fight in the melee and therefore has no need for such barbaric spells.

Re: Dark One's Might?
Visually. I think that's purely an artistic decision, though, and not actual in-universe thing. For example, when Durkon made the table, /Redcloak/ said it was too high for him, while Durkon was quite fine, despite Redcloak being drawn much taller than Durkon. As far as I can remember, other in-world dialogue cues seem to suggest that goblins are indeed "small".

Re: Dark One's Might?
He knows the roaches would make a Green Lantern joke about "beware his power" if he did, and he just doesn't want to put up with that.

Re: Dark One's Might?
Redcloak is a speciality priest not a cleric (my explanation)
Also the Dark One seems to have been a warlord but not necessarily a warrior.'Utúlie'n aurë! Aiya Eldalië ar Atanatári, utúlie'n aurë! “The day has come! Behold, people of the Eldar and Fathers of Men, the day has come!" And all those who heard his great voice echo in the hills answered, crying:'Auta i lómë!" The night is passing!"

Re: Dark One's Might?
Because medium covers a range
It’s like at my work - the work stations are designed for a standard height but that means too high for some and too small for others
And the range for even bigger size categories is far worse'Utúlie'n aurë! Aiya Eldalië ar Atanatári, utúlie'n aurë! “The day has come!

Re: Dark One's Might?
Essentially a bar stool is fine for most people, a normal chair is fine for most people - but half way between them is annoying.
The Giant likely had Redcloak do it because it showed he was willing to deal and spend a spell slot to show it - but in universe it might just be that Redcloak likes a seat as a certain height.

Re: Dark One's Might?
Gosh, people, I know you all love to discuss for the sake of discussion, but in the previous strip to the stool one it's perfectly clear that Redcloak is taller than Durkon.
