Belkar building an important rapport here.

Y'know, I always thought Kraggor was the old party member Belkar would best get along with, but this dynamic has certainly proved me wrong.

*Sings.* I'm stuck on mimics, because mimics are stuck on me!

Re: OOTS #1269 - The Discussion Thread
Ah, the classic Mimic plan of disguising themselves as common, unassuming pieces of furniture.
Also, does "butt" seem like an off choice of word for Durkon's accent to anyone else?Last edited by Reboot; 2022-10-01 at 09:03 AM.

Re: OOTS #1269 - The Discussion Thread
So, basically, Serini doesn't really give a fart about their preparations?

...Durkon, this is Belkar we're talking about. He might have turned over a slightly less bitter leaf, but you know him, why, why are you immediately doing what he's suggesting? :D

The comic 1269 is currently placed between 1266 and 1267 on the archive page, for some reason.

Re: OOTS #1269 - The Discussion Thread
Belkar is gradually getting over his trauma of Durkon's horrifying death and enslavement by a vampire and is back to pulling pranks on him.

Re: OOTS #1269 - The Discussion Thread
"A well placed short rest..." Is The Giant referencing 5e now? Short rest isn't a thing in 3.5 as far as I know. I haven't been following the background of OOTS but there are a wealth of absurdities in 5e that he could mine. Like how a paralyzed character still gets their dex bonus to AC.

Re: OOTS #1269 - The Discussion Thread
Now, I don't know the original rules or the new ones, but if you're gonna complain about them getting bonuses, you should complain about them getting to use an AC at all, since logically a paralyzed character would be helpless entirely while their enemies removed their armor.

First serious chuckle I've had in a while. Serini is my kind of halfling.

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

Re: OOTS #1269 - The Discussion Thread
In 3.5, they're 10 intelligent. They're only 5 intelligent in 5e, though. Can't find any stats for 4e mimics, but I interpolate that they'd be roughly 8.3 intelligent.
I give even odds she expects them to fail and just wants to be in a position where she can stop anyone from breaking the Gate.
More to the point: Belkar has the wisdom of a short-sighted lemming, and only slightly more intelligence. Even if he was trying to give good advice, why would you expect him to succeed?
He's casually slipped in references to 4e/5e mechanics as those games came out, but he hasn't made many explicit rules jokes since the days when he was first toying with the idea of character development.
I dunno about the dictionary, but when I've heard people use the word, it's been closer to "amused" than "confused".
Belkar has ranks in two skills: Profession (gourmet chef) and Knowledge (prank-worthy trivia).
