Re: Next-strip predictions
I mean, it's still not wrong. Not to split hairs, but Serini would be in a much worse position if she was also in the antimagic field right now. Her invisibility and probably a couple of buffs are doing a lot of work for her here. "Shutting down their magic and not mine" is kinda cheating and also kinda goes against the spirit of the original prediction.

Re: Next-strip predictions
In the original prediction, I never said anything about Serini's magic. Only the Orders. I wasn't sure of the rules of AMF, but figured Serini had a way to shut down magic in an area where she isn't.
Which she did. Admittedly I'd forgotten about the Beholders AMF eye, and that beholder prediction was kind of a joke. If I'd been slightly smarter, I could've unified both predictions into a single hypothesis.
And *then* I'd have been insufferable XD

Re: Next-strip predictions
I predict V will convince Belkar to take out Bloodfeasf, since the anti-magic vision I think would cancel Baleful Polymorph and distract Sunny enough for Elan to cure Roy of the poison.
Also, Belkar somehow managing to get Sunny to change sides because Belkar May be... Belkar, But Belkar is still a Ranger

Re: Next-strip predictions
I was going to answer the Belkar Ranger question with 'he took an up-until-now-unmentioned ACF to let him make Wild Empathy checks against-" then hit a brick wall. What are Beholders? Aberrations? Magical Beasts? Native Outsiders?

Re: Next-strip predictions
Pretty sure Aberration Wild Empathy is available somewhere (Dungeon Delver maybe?), though I think there's an intelligence cap to stop rangers schmoozing the Mind Flayers.
Mind Flayer: now to insert a tadpole into his brain!
Ranger: I totally get how that feels bro
Mind Flayer: Y-you do? *single illithid tear* I thought no one would understand meeeee
Ranger: dude it's OK just let it all out
However in lieu of an ACF, presumably Belkar would have similar success with Sunny by just being nice to him. Wild Empathy gets kinda odd when it deals with intelligent creatures.Last edited by Riftwolf; 2021-07-03 at 07:33 AM.

Re: Next-strip predictions
If her apparent number of ranks in UMD is anything to go by, I'd say she's definitely not a ranger, or, at any rate, does not have a number of ranger levels even remotely comparable to Belkar's (unless of course she's suddenly level 40 or something too, but that seems… unlikely).

Re: Next-strip predictions
Anyone can make a wild empathy check against a beholder. It's called a charisma check (or any of the charisma based skill checks).

Re: Next-strip predictions
I'll toss a boring prediction on the pile: The hammer of thunderbolts smacks Sunny in the eye.

Re: Next-strip predictions
I've always wondered what happens when an anti-magic field overlaps another anti-magic field. But now, more specifically, what happens to a beholder in an antimagic field?
It's too bad that Belkar doesn't carry a mirror as a symbol of halfling verility. Does Vaarsuvius know Gaze Reflection?
That's my prediction: someone uses a mirror on the beholder.
"Behold yourself!"
"Aw, man, don't cry. There's no crying in adventuring. I'm sorry..."

Re: Next-strip predictions
They had a low-level party up against tiamat int he first episode, and then a near-epix sorcerer lixb (IIRC he was level 18?the DVD box set I got had em all stated out). I buy them doing shenanigans like a rose, even if I don't remember that. Dungeon Master would have totally allowed it.

Re: Next-strip predictions
It's beginning to look as if 1242 will be a talky strip.
The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.
