Steve Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick At last he sees. I wasn't sure it would happen. Is Elan really that stupid that it took something like this to wake him up, or is he just staggeringly naive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Gillen Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick I could argue both, but he seems to be developing more practical intelligence recently, so I'm leaning toward naive. JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick In a way I'm disappointed. At first Tarquin was so charming, and hitting all the right buttons with Elan, I thought he stood a chance of actually corrupting Elan. I expected Elan's awful wake-up moment to be when he caught himself doing something terrible, because his father had convinced him it was the right thing to do.

Hermit Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick I think I prefer it this way myself. Tarquin is cool, but I like my villains to have a few blindspots of their own, and Tarquin really did just shoot himself in the foot on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iirc, it lets him swap out his CHA for his STR score when punning. Looks like his dad has a similar prestige class, or just likes playing along.

What's that, Combat Expertise and Improved Disarm? That said, Roy can still take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
