Oh, and in 3.5e beholders, uh, reproduce through the only hole in their head they have. Yeah, that one. Also they kill the ones that they deem too different from themselves.

Re: OOTS #1243 - The Discussion Thread
9.9 from the French judge too.
And incidently, it will also undo most of the debuffs the Order is suffering of. A
Regardless I'll assume this option is off the table since it's kind of clear Bloodfeast isn't getting involved (and Belkar will shove him as soon as the anti magic is back)
This also means that Elan and Minrah are probably getting V and Roy back up by now.
Well, the 3.5 material does describe the beholders as monstrous in their thinking. They are almost literally hardwired to be mad, hateful and paranoid.Que tous les anciens dieux et les nouveaux protègent la France.

Re: OOTS #1243 - The Discussion Thread
I think Rich is also willing to have certain creatures be innately evil: all of the sentient undead we've seen have been monstrous and even the good Vampire Durkon suggested his change of heart was only temporary.
It just gets uncomfortable when the creatures are just humans with different features and identical jerk personalities.

I love the implication that Haley has a magic dye job. I know it’s just a representation of the AMF but it’s still funny.

Re: OOTS #1243 - The Discussion Thread
It appears Rich is willing to make concessions with outsiders(literally made of X alignment) and undead(literally powered by negative energy) in the context of OoTS at the least, but beholders are neither. Granted, "canon" beholders are also wired to be pretty cuckoo by human standards, but I think Rich has a similar philosophy when it comes to sentients as Keith Baker, creator of Eberron. Keith has a blog and he says stuff like an aberration is probably going to have a hard time being Good even if raised away from their abusive masters and kin and be fundamentally different, but at the same time it'd be possible to achieve non-Evilness.
Also yes, it's particularly oof when the creatures are basically funny-looking humans.
I'll be honest, I'm expecting Roy to Bull Rush him through the Rift and then he gets eaten by the Snarl.Last edited by danielxcutter; 2021-09-07 at 02:01 PM.

Re: OOTS #1243 - The Discussion Thread
Even undead have been portrayed with nuance by The Giant.
In Good Deeds Gone Unpunished:
SpoilerThe Katos meet a friendly ghost, try and find a role for her in their settlement - and then introduce Hinjo to her.
Hinjo makes it clear that, to him, ghosts and the living are morally similar - living creatures are souls with bodies, ghosts are souls without bodies.
And he treats her as very much a person - which means that, if she's doing a job, she must get paid.Last edited by hamishspence; 2021-09-07 at 02:09 PM.

Re: OOTS #1243 - The Discussion Thread
So, it is entirely plausible that in one or two pages the Order will realize who they are up against. After all, if Sunny looks at Haley and Serini with zir central eye, goodbye invisibility. And if Sunny doesn't use zir central eye, ze cannot see Serini, and cannot break Serini's fall. I do not see Sunny letting "Mom" be hurt, altho Serini might have indoctrinated Sunny to not worry about falls.
Granted that the Order doesn't know what Serini looks like, she is indisputably an old female halfling involved with the gates .

Re: OOTS #1243 - The Discussion Thread
Oh, yeah! That was amazing! Go Haley, go Haley! *waves pom-poms*
Also, the conversation about petrification between Sunny and Serini was a little disturbing, especially as I’m struggling to tell how comedic Sunny’s bold-italic response to “we have glue at home” is supposed to be. Is it supposed to be like a whiney kid’s “Mo-om!” or more like an adult telling their mother “Mom.”?

Re: OOTS #1243 - The Discussion Thread
These explanations pretty much never hold up to scrutiny, though. Then again, what does in fantasy? And also raise the question of why your story needs your universe to be prejudiced.

Yeh. Adamantine isn't magic, it just lets you cut through anything not 20 hardness as if it had zero hardness. Adamantine weapons are awesome utility tools. Climbing, "lockpicking" by cutting the lock in half, using your "Craft Sculpture" skill on random rocks in downtime tc.

Re: OOTS #1243 - The Discussion Thread
I had forgotten that, even though she excels at Uncanny Dodgeball . The only way she can be sneak attacked is if Sunny comes down and flanks her, and Serini is 4+ levels higher. The latter is likely, the former puts Sunny at extreme risk - which they may accept to save Mom.
This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: OOTS #1243 - The Discussion Thread
Setting up an "I've fallen and I can't get up" joke if Haley has her grappled ...
Serini is an epic level adventurer. She's been up to her waist in blood and gore before, over the course of her adventures and battles with the Scribblers. Sunny hasn't the benefit of that experience and is thus trying real hard to stick to the plan Serini had laid out, to include its constraints. Serini is all about the win, and she's the mission leader ...
Yeah, that lore seems to fit the later editions of D&D well enough, but lore need not be considered to be binding.
The game's lore is a seed for the imagination, not a hard and fast rule.
Sweet. I wonder if my 5e DM will concur with that theme; one of our PCs has adamantine half plate, so the chance that I might get an adamantine dagger is greater than 0 even if it isn't super high.
And our party is in and about a really big dwarf colony just now.
What shall I trade for an adamantine dagger if there's one available? Hmmmmmm...need to talk to my DM.Last edited by KorvinStarmast; 2021-09-07 at 02:58 PM.

Re: OOTS #1243 - The Discussion Thread
Sunny is so adorable in this comic, between their comment about limbs and the arguing with "Mom". I hope that Sunny will be sticking around for a good chunk of this book. I'm also excited to see the Rogue vs. Rogue action that will be present in the next strip!

Re: OOTS #1243 - The Discussion Thread
The thing is the Azurites don't use a single color; they use a single hue. The use light blue, dark blue, black, white, glossy blue, off-white with a bluish tint. They sky's the limit, as long as it's blue.

Re: OOTS #1243 - The Discussion Thread
They're not evil - they're just pathological narcissists!
If nothing else, it keeps them in small-solitary encounters. Beholders are stupid powerful enough as it is with just one of them (this comic being exhibit a).
That said, I do prefer the 3.5 interpretations, if only because I like to keep my Far Realm influences kept as much on the periphery as possible. Beholders are pretty bombastic, and Lovecraft-based horror is more vulnerable to the effects of exposure than most other forms.
