The Order of the Stick meets a terrible Foe

[Lonely Tylenol]

[sblock]A lawful-stupid paladin grossly misinterpreting things? Perish the thought. [/sblock]

Bloody stupid paladins. They always smite first and ask questions later. Then later, they're all "oh how I have erred, please forgive me!" Just once I'd like someone to respond with "I can understand why you expect forgiveness. You're a paladin. Paladins trust in the goodness of others and their compassion. Compassion and goodness lead to forgiveness. But I'm not a paladin. And my party's rogue just put a shiv in your butt while we were talking here because you're a jerk. Go meditate on that, you holier-than-thou waste of a perfectly good 20-point BAB."

I've always thought it was a 3.5 Samurai from Complete Warrior. Two curved swords, one longer than the other, sounds like daisho-style to me - I think it's a katana and a wakisashi, that the samurai uses in CW. Besides, she mentions lawfully doing things a few times in #200. Smite evil isn't samurai-given, I don't think, but hey, she could multiclass, or something.

Until now, I don't think I have ever been impatient for a Monday to arrive.

LOL glad I'm not the only one who has experienced LS paladins firsthand.

Man, over the next couple of weeks, I'll miss THREE installments because of my stupid wedding..... Maybe I'll skip it.

Dude, get your friggin' priorities straight!

[sblock]Move the wedding to next week and camp out in front of your computer for the next OotS installment! [/sblock]

OotS has been pretty good at making fun of many of the classic D&D elements so far. One wacky element they haven't touched on yet?

Reincarnate.

Just sayin'.

I'm thinking Oriental flavored Paladin/Monk. And I'm also thinking that 'splortch' was Durkon taking the hit for Roy.

Smiting a good cleric who has already surrendered and is protecting another? Sounds like an ex-paladinhood to me.

 

[AZNtrogdor]

what if smite evil destroys the evil crown around roys neck? could this be interfering with the palidin's detect evil ability?

Tell me about that, one of my players used that spell and went from a half-dragon to a Kobold

Agree with the other comments, this is one of the best OoTS comic, I think that the part when the paladin reveals as a woman is great!, I was hoping to see a Drow or some extraplanar being, the twist of being a Paladin ( or something like that) is amazing
