... Have you ever read this comic before? This is ELAN we're talking about here, not some hypothetical player with a generic bard character. He doesn't understand stuff like this at all. He barely can manage simple math. It would be a violation of everything we know about Elan for him to...

I don't think he was unroasted; his cloak got shredded when he fireballed. He probably made his saving throw, though, and he might have had a Resist Energy cast on him by Redcloak before he left. And I can't believe anyone would want to see a multi-strip fight between (as Belkar might say)...

All I can think of when I see the "Will Defense" line is, if this IS the future of 4E, then finally we will have some sort of integrated mental combat. I mean, think about it: the psionics mental combat stuff always was tacked on, ignored, and generally poorly integrated (when it wasn't...

Drawing all of the bodies the same way is probably easier than drawing some beheaded and some not beheaded. He did chop off a hobgoblin's leg in panel 2, which you also can't do in D&D, so I don't think this is any intentional change in the way Rich draws. Also, maybe beheading represents a...

Except that you can encounter an aberration for the first time in your life at level 4, then choose aberrations as a Favored Enemy a few days later when you reach level 5. There's no requirement for a Favored Enemy to be the result of "a lifetime of hatred", especially since you can now select...

All of the characters are far from optimized, probably because optimized characters wouldn't be funny. They'd just dominate every combat with a mandated 20% expenditure of resources, instead of any battle being a crapshoot (and often running away from danger). I mean, a halfling two-weapon...

Don't get me wrong, I love the comic. I am all in favor of it exactly as it is, but the OP asked for examples and I tried to think of some. None of them actually bothered me, but they couldn't happen in a D&D game without houseruling. And I agree with him, I think a lot of people perceive there...

I think a lot of the discussion confuses what is "probable" with what is "possible". There are a lot of improbabilities in OOTS comics. For example, if you figure the likely saving throw of a Huge Titanium Elemental, if its anything like a Huge Earth Elemental, then it would be very unlikely for...
