Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIII: 50% More Entertaining than Speculating About Mit
That's not quite what I was going for. Bozzok is pretty clearly surprised by what happened, so I don't think it was really a Sunder attempt, just Crystal breaking her own weapon.
And since it's been more than a day and I'm not sure this answer shouldn't count, I'll give a big hint: the target of both Sunder attempts is the same person, and is not a humanoid.Resurrecting the Negative LA thread, comments and discussion are very welcome!

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIII: 50% More Entertaining than Speculating About Mit
Boz has a STR bonus and a two-handed weapon. Of course he'd be surprised that Crystal can break his sword with what's most offen described as a dagger of sorts. I can't think of any other RAW explanation for why both weapons break either.
And since it's been more than a day and I'm not sure this answer shouldn't count, I'll give a big hint: the target of both Sunder attempts is the same person, and is not a humanoid.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIII: 50% More Entertaining than Speculating About Mit
Yeah, me neither, but you can't do simultaneous Sunder either.
That is definitely closer to what I intended, and qualifies in my book. I was thinking of an octopus rather than an hydra, but the principle is the same.Resurrecting the Negative LA thread, comments and discussion are very welcome!

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIII: 50% More Entertaining than Speculating About Mit
The idea of "sundering" an actual appendage doesn't feel right to me.
Anyway, it's been two and a half days with no question, so I'll toss one out:

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIII: 50% More Entertaining than Speculating About Mit
The thing is, it's explicitly called out in the rules that a Sunder attempt is the only way to destroy a tentacle (or a neck, in a hydra's case).
Also, Xykon.

Oh, okay. I'm not versed in the rules at all, beyond the bare minimum I have to be for my participation here.

Leaving it as an OQ since I don't have time to figure one out.

When was Elan the first person to figure out why an action taken by another character, failed to occur as expected?

If you think "interesting" is an anticlimax, I feel sorry for you because it means you don't really know about interesting.

On a fateful evening, I foolishly sworn myself to follow Xykon's updated speech rule ...thing. The twelve gods know that I regretted my decision ...since then ...multiple times.

Rephrase time then! Find me a time when Elan was the first to realize why an action taken by an ally, did not have the expected results.

Yeah it confused me too. Apparently a "ton" in imperial units is different from a "ton" in freedom units.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIII: 50% More Entertaining than Speculating About Mit
Honestly, I can fathom using 2000lbs instead of 1000kg for a ton for americans who want to stick to their system of measure. Confusing as all hell that ton and metric ton are two different things, but I can understand that. But using 2240 lbs for a ton in the UK is just asinine. It's not a round number in either system. If they wanted to be closer to a metric ton, you know what they could have done? Just use the metric ton! 2204.6 isn't much worse than 2240. I just don't understand where that value comes from.
Edit: Nevermind, it's even worse than I thought. "The long ton arises from the traditional British measurement system: A long ton is 20 long hundredweight (cwt), each of which is 8 stone (1 stone = 14 pounds). Thus a long ton is 20 × 8 × 14 lb = 2,240 lb." Basically, it had to be divisible by 8 and by 14, because there are literally three arbitrarily decided weight units that use these multipliers to go from one to the other. And when I say arbitrarily, I mean it. From Wikipedia: "STONE also denotes a certain quantity or weight of some commodities. A stone of beef, in London, is the quantity of eight pounds; in Hertfordshire, twelve pounds; in Scotland sixteen pounds." They just averaged the various values. That is utterly infuriating. How can such a baseless tradition survive so long and even be the base of so many unwieldy things?Last edited by Beni-Kujaku; 2022-12-01 at 03:57 PM.

Uh, is it #1222 12th panel, when Roy tries to attack Xykon? I'm not sure that matches because it seems like Elan just states the obvious thing that Roy already knew.

By "small", do you mean Small, or can it be Tiny?
