Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
I think the consensus leans towards Saurophaganax being it's own distinct genus?
We don't, and in fact given what the timeline appears to be I'd be shocked if they were. I would assume they didn't reach epic level until near the end or possibly after their adventures, and it'd be kind of weird if after their big "we are never talking to each other again" fight they all teamed up to take on some dragon cult.

Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
Why people are worried about Roy's sword being enough to kill Bloodfeast? Another dinosaur's horns didn't kill him why would a sword do it?

Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
I missed this before.
What Serini actually said was that they needed their whole team to take his operation down. I assumed that might have included some monsters (or enslaved minions), making it more challenging that fighting Calder alone.
Is that not how you interpreted it. If Calder (by himself) was a challenge the the Scribble, and the Order is able to beat him here, do you think that suggests the Order and Scribble are not far apart in terms of power?

Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
Forgive me if someone spotted this a couple of pages ago, but I just noticed an interesting little detail from earlier: Sunny has drawn a picture of Calder (as shown in the second panel of page 1257) and so presumably knows him, or at least of him. That could make for an interesting bit of dialogue when the domination is broken.

Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
Best strip in ages.
I also like Calder's comment about the order "already resorting to throwing harmless animals" as if the approach Roy took way back in #144 and #167 is something that eventually happens to him in all his fights.GITP Blood Bowl Manager Cup

Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
Chef kiss comic
But Belkars play to ground him might not work.
Dragons can carry an insane amount of weight and keep flying
with a Str of 33 and huge size even a Mature adult red light load would be 3200lbs
and if he is ancient that's str 39 plus gargantuan for a light load of 14,912lbs
and a huge Allosaurus is "only" 2 to 4 tons with I think is 4000 to 16000lbs
so it could go either way
Edit,
I am wrong Dragons can carry more, they have 4 legs
4800 light load for a mature adult
and 22,368 for an ancientLast edited by urbanwolf; 2024-02-19 at 10:25 PM.

Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
If I had a nickel for every time V fell after losing their flight spell in an anti-magic field while fighting a powerful dragon, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

If that scene (or a facsimile) isn't the cover of this last book, it will be a great injustice.

If this isn't the coolest panel in OOTS, what is?

Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
Those numbers seem to be consistent with the normal carrying capacities for creatures on the ground. I don't see where that connects with what they can carry while flying..?

Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
What Belkar threw was a small harmless glrkt. But what bit Calder was an allosaurus.
[By the way, does anybody know where I can find the stat block for a glrkt?]
: That's the problem with hybrid genres like action-comedy. Sometimes where you're expecting one, you get the other.
Very similar, except that the thing that fluttered down on the victorious dinosaur was a banner that said, "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth", rather than a dragon.
What would be the point? It wouldn't improve Calder's attack one bit.
A medium greatsword in an anti-magic field does 2d6. But a huge (or bigger) dragon claw does 2d6 or more. And Calder is proficient with the claw.
Don't forget Checkov's Doily. That was mentioned for a reason.

Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
The question, of course, is does Belkar get the XP for the kill or does Bloodfeast?

Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
The covers have typically not been actual scenes from the book, but something representative of the overall story and setting of the book.
And considering that in the scope of the greater story this is going to end up being a relatively minor encounter, I doubt it will be represented.
I guess what I'm saying is, prepare for great injustice.
(Aside, I was looking at the covers again, and I really enjoy the Utterly Dwarfed cover for how appropriate everyone's reactions are to Belkar trying to tell them the vampire isn't Durkon. Roy is actively ignoring him, Vaarsuvius is curious enough to listen, Haley is annoyed by him, and Elan isn't paying attention and is looking at clouds instead.)

Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
So… Bloodfeast has to go train before getting any more XP?
All my sympathies on your DM. Dang.
I think Bloodfeast is safe, though. If the Giant has that many levels in EvilDMStoryteller, the low-hanging fruit would be to have Calder make Sunny use an instant-kill ray on his mom.

Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
Eiher Belkar has invested in Wisdom or Intelligence somewhere, or he rolled a natural 20... That was a truly epic move. It won't take down the dragon. But it will BRING down the dragon and this just because a fight the Order of the Stick can win.
Hopefully V isn't suffering too much PTSD from this.

Re: OOTS #1298 - The Discussion Thread
I still think the AMF gives Calder an edge though. Magic gear and buffs are ridiculously important in the edition the comic’s based on, but Calder’s melee capacity doesn’t rely on those at all.
