Wait, Belkar's alignment isn't Good? What alignment system does OotS use?

...I can't tell if this is tongue-in-cheek or not.

OotS uses the nine-point system from AD&D and 3E: Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic crossed with Good/Neutral/Evil. Belkar is Chaotic Evil. Even if it weren't bloody obvious from his behavior, it's been stated outright on at least two occasions. In fact, we got the exact same joke about Belkar and alignment-related spells (except in reverse) waaaay back here.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit, as it shows what one obscure spell can actually do when used correctly.

This strip was worth the long wait. Two winners in a row!

Incidentally, Nale should be going down pretty soon unless he somehow heals himself - he doesn't have too many HPs (triple-classed, remember) and he just got hit by two sneak attacks (with holy arrows I believe) and three or four strikes from Belkar, AFTER suffering damage from traps in the previous comic.

I have heard form a friend of mine who bought a lot of swag on the kickstarter that he got some of his stuff. Everything promised by this date.

Can Malack channel positive energy? No... pick better teammates Nale.

Haley has a frost burst bow. The only person who might have a holy weapon is Roy, although maybe Durkon might prepare and cast Align Weapon.

I am still eagerly awaiting mine, but I brought the Schticky Sticks expansion to the game so will be a bit of a wait for me.
