    That's correct, I wasn't familiar with that song.

    I imagine people are coming up with the prophecy explanation because it's the obvious explanation for how they came to know about a red-cloaked goblin cleric before Redcloak was even a threat. The fact that the Azurites are known to use scrying and divine magic to track the mantle, and have a fortune teller (Sangwaan) makes it seem more consistent, too.

    Come to think of it, I don't really remember how the Sapphire Guard came to know about the Crimson Mantle myself. Has that been revealed?
    Yup, exactly what I was thinking of.

    And I'm not sure that information was ever revealed.

    The scouring of the Shire never happened. That's right. After reading books I, II, and III, I stopped reading when the One Ring was thrown into Mount Doom. The story ends there. Nothing worthwhile happened afterwards. Middle-Earth was saved.

    For V's int score, which I referred to in one of the examples, I'm aware of the fact that the Flayer likes Roy better because he's got a nicer spread, but I also remember V saying he had a "delectable 17 INT" and wondering why the author hadn't given him the max score for a wizard.

    Now in that line I read 18 INT, and this is another one of my little misrememberings I'm so convinced of I could put a hand into fire to swear they were like that.

    But I've been proven wrong in at least one occasion, and the hand still stings, so on reflection perhaps maybe not :p

    No, I remember it being written wrong once upon a time, then it being written right.

    We have reason to believe it was 18 as early as January 2005, at least:

    It's possible that The Giant changed it from 17 to 18, but that would surprise me a little.

    It's possible it was immediately corrected. I do believe Rich fixes typoes when spotted.

    Interestingly enough a "17" is mentioned a view comics later in #0038. And some ancient scholars used that as basis for Roy's strength score. (Same thread as hamishspence quoted.)

    You mean it is probable that I simply conflated different instances of an ability score being mentioned, since I originally read them in relatively rapid sequence, and my mind fused them in the coming years?

    That seems to be what happened at least in the hob smith/gob in disguise situation.

    That's an interesting insight on the Mandela effect. People might not be remembering things wrong, at least not simply: they're confusing (in the original sense of the word) different instances of events due to their similarity.

    There must be a psychological paper in this somewhere.

    That's a weird thing to base it on, seeing as how multiple SRD poisons can knock you from 18 to 0 strength in one dose.

    Ah, but the real line is in iambic pentameter. You have to admire Elan's commitment to the drama.

    Huh, I think the web version works better with the "now you're stretching it" punchline, what with being longer and thus requiring more of a stretch. Unless it was changed because you don't "bind" ghouls so it doesn't make sense in DnD canon?

    You know, I feel like this came up before and I could swear Rich said he thinks he prefers the original in hindsight, too, but I might just be imagining that because I also prefer it.

    Lich Dust and Purple Worm Poison will do 3d6 strength damage over two saves (and a while minute). Dragon Bile will do 3d6 strength damage on a single save.
