SCUBA Hero Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick But if we accept that the main motivation was pride' date=' rather than the disinterested calculation of the best course for saving her family, [/quote']Bingo! I think that V puts forward this pragmatic front, but has other things (pride in magic) behind his/her actions. Interesting plotline...

Cygnia Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick Once again, after long loading time, the new one is up!

SteveZilla Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick Not at all. But what is the Disjunction spell? I predict that after he deals with the Dragon (love the surprised look on it's face!), he'll have a "discussion" with his family where either he'll be reminded of himself enough to voluntarily end the splices, or go completely evil.

teh bunneh Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick Not at all. But what is the Disjunction spell? Mordenkainen's Disjunction Level: 9 Schools: Alteration, Enchantment Range: 0 Components: V Duration: Instantaneous Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special When this spell is cast, all magic and magical items within the radius of the spell, except those on the person of or being touched by the spellcaster, are disjoined. That is, spells being cast are separated into their individual components (usually spoiling the effect as a dispel magic spell does), and permanent and enchanted magical items must successfully save (vs. spell if actually cast on a creature, or vs. a dispel magic spell otherwise) or be turned into normal items. Even artifacts and relics are subject to Mordenkainen's disjunction, though there is only a 1% chance per caster experience level of actually affecting such powerful items. Thus, all potions, scrolls, rings, rods, miscellaneous magical items, artifacts and relics, arms and armor, swords, and miscellaneous weapons within 30 feet of the spellcaster can possibly lose all their magical properties when the Mordenkainen's disjunction spell is cast. The caster also has a 1% chance per level of destroying an antimagic shell. If the shell survives the disjunction, no items within it are disjoined. Note: Destroying artifacts is a dangerous business, and 95% likely to attract the attention of some powerful being who has an interest or connection with the device. Additionally, if an artifact is destroyed, the casting wizard must roll a successful saving throw vs. spell with a -4 penalty or permanently lose all spellcasting abilities.

Sociotard Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick 1% per level? Sheesh, what does that imply V's new level is? 90? Oh, I noticed that V said he would lose his soul for the stated duration after he died and before he went on to his eternal reward. The tempters never said that. I wonder if they'll take him for a ride before he expects them to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Neilson Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick 1% per level? Sheesh' date=' what does that imply V's new level is? 90?[/quote'] V's comment a few strips back about the laws of probability have come back, perhaps. Or maybe soul splice makes his caster level the sum of all spliced souls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for starters, it's an evil dragon (going by the D&D model), and V gave her reason to exercise that evilness to its fullest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Neilson Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick Well, as of today the strip challenges a lot of fantasy gaming assumptions. As I read V's comments, I'm struck by the fact that (s)he is no better than the Dragon. But really, it was OOTS who went to the Dragon lair to steal something, and murdered the young dragon who was inconvenient to the completion of their theft. The vengeance plan of Momma Dragon doesn't enjoy a lot of moral high ground, but she's not the one who started the cycle, is she? How much sympathy would we have for the burglar who kills the hero's child in the opening scenes of a modern action movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick Which, given Redcloak's anger at the "good" gods for making his species as nothing more than XP for their chosen races, gives his POV a lot of weight, doesn't it?
