Re: OOTS #1242 - The Discussion Thread
Do we have a clear indication of whether or not Bloodfeast made its saving throw to retain its original HPs, memories, etc.? That would make a big difference in terms of how even the fight would be. Mr. Scruffy has more attacks and better potential for doing damage, I think, so I suppose it could be a more even fight than might otherwise be the case even if Bloodfeast still has the HPs of an allosaur.

Considering that he was an animal to start with, the only things that would make a difference from making the saving throw are HD & HP. BAB is specifically excluded.Last edited by Reboot; 2021-08-20 at 01:15 PM.

No, none of us were altering the unimutable laws of physics. That would be wrong.

Re: OOTS #1242 - The Discussion Thread
Per the SRD, the affected creature has to make a save only once to avoid forgetting about its prior life right away. It isn't clear how quickly an animal might be expected to lose its memories just on the basis of having fairly limited cognition. ("Am I a lizard dreaming that I am an allosaur, or am I an allosaur that dreamed of being a lizard?")
I have a vague recollection of a book mentioning a really large pet that used to hide in a small location when it was a baby, which never grasped that it was no longer able to fit in there, and caused havoc whenever it tried. But the recollection is refusing to come into focus for me.

Re: OOTS #1242 - The Discussion Thread
Question for those of you who know DnD better than I do: Does Elan have to keep the clasp on to not fall back to the magic effect or can he saefly take it off now that it has cured him?

Re: OOTS #1242 - The Discussion Thread
I must not fail my save against Fear.
Fear is the Mind-Affecter.
Fear is the low-level spell that brings Total Party Kill.
I will face my Fear spell.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will roll the d20 to determine its effect.
Where the Fear spell has been cast, there will be nothing.
Only my PC will remain.Last edited by TheNecrocomicon; 2021-08-21 at 11:21 PM.

Re: OOTS #1242 - The Discussion Thread
In short, no. The clasp suspends the effect, not cured it. Think of it like putting your hand over the lens of a flashlight. You haven't switched the light off, you've just stopped it from lighting up the room. If you move your hand away, the torch lights up the room again. A spell like Dispel Magic would switch the flashlight off.

Re: OOTS #1242 - The Discussion Thread
Of course, Elan *has* Greater Dispel Magic as one of his spells. Firing off an area dispel wouldn't be the worst of ideas right now - if he makes the roll, it gets rid of the Charm on himself, Fear on Belkar, whatever-it-is on Scruffy, Slow on V (although V would need extra spells to get back up, which he seems to be prioritising) and gets Haley her bow back.

Re: OOTS #1242 - The Discussion Thread
Greater Dispel Magic's not enough for undoing petrification. Besides, a single area dispel isn't nearly enough to reliably undo any of the effects Sunny's done; it's more likely to just zap one of their own buffs.

Re: OOTS #1242 - The Discussion Thread
I hope not. I want to see the Order actually being competent.

Re: OOTS #1242 - The Discussion Thread
Don't have to win to be competent. I'm thinking of stuff like the dining hall fight, where they went down from a few blown saves but still went out swinging and did well before that point. Instead of cheesing it with Sunny's AMF and then incapacitating most of the Order with a hail mary like it's been so far.

Re: OOTS #1242 - The Discussion Thread
What you define as "competent" sounds to me like "never failing". And you want it in each and every strip. I suspect you're going to be frustrated with many strips if you take each one piecemeal and only analyze how they are doing in that strip alone, when they are meant to be part of a greater whole.
Or, more simply: you called the last strip "ground into paste", while this strip shows that was merely a setback for them to overcome. Fight ain't over, dude. Let it happen.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: OOTS #1242 - The Discussion Thread
Ugh. No I don’t want them “never failing”. I just want them to put up a fight like they are now before they get captured and the IFCC butts in or something instead of the entire fight going like 1241.
