Like Silverbane said, by a strict reading of the rules, Sense Surroundings wouldn't ignore the total concealment (which in the book is described as having line of effect but not line of sight to the target) from darkness (which is given as an example of causing total concealment in the same...

To be honest, Belkar wasn't one of my favorite characters. But I must say, I'm really enjoying the "new and improved" Belkar. And since he's been on a roll these past couple strips, I'm figuring he's going to somehow blow it when it comes to the Crystal/Bozzok fight. Here's to hoping the CoL...

I had seen that, and was glad for at least that. Depends. I recall most of those, but only due to the miracle of syndication and re-runs. Off the top of my head, only the A-Team, Real American Hero, Dukes of Hazzard, Cheers and Doctor Who theme songs were the few that I had seen when the...

Doctor Who for me would have to be the number 1 "classic" TV theme. There's no mistaking it for anything else.

Just having the mook-types be straight-class Non-Heroics works well enough, given the damage output of most weapons and most PCs. Given that a Non-Heroic only gets 1d4 hit points per level, even a high level Non-Heroic is in real danger of getting pasted the first time they get hit, especially...

I'd go the opposite direction, and say that by using Sense Surroundings, the Jedi is negating the condition that would provide total concealment (the darkness). In the first example, he'd have to hit a higher DC to spot the hunter that has total cover, but with a successful UtF check, he'd be...

You must be new to the internet :D I tend to agree with the "story over rules-jokes" crowd, and think OotS is better for moving away from what it started as. The fact we're discussing a webcomic about stick figures in a fantasy game world says alot about the job the Rich has done.

The pay-off was worth the build-up. Was I the only one hearing Drowning Pool's "Bodies" while reading the strip? And given Belkar's got a decent-level cleric with primarily healing spells memorized to provide support... this is gonna get messy for the Thieves' Guild.

Much like how the soundtrack packaging was made using recycled materials?

Wow, Rich has been putting these up quick lately. Hope the trend continues, as I'm actually looking forward to a "Sexy Shoeless God of War" rampage. Shame about Haley's hair though...

I don't think that's necessarily true. As is often the case with developers in any industry, they get used to seeing things from a certain perspective, which is often the "intended" perspective. As Rodney Thompson sagely said, "No game system survives contact with its player base." What this...

Friend of mine showed me the Bard snippet last night. Only took a glance at them, but the 4e bard certainly seems to be a mixed bag of tricks. The multiclassing thing is an interesting nod to 1st edition bards (where IIRC you had to multiclass like mad to become one in the first place; been...

Yeah, he does seem to have really slowed down on the updates, going at a rough pace of one new strip a week. Same with ErfWorld, which has also slowed to once a week.

Not really convinced, especially as Haazen with his barely held-together appearance would look to be a better fit to "sleeps with vibroblades." Saw this topic over on the WotC boards, mostly focusing around how Darth Sion and Lucien Draay have radically different builds in the KOTORCG. Also...

I'm pretty much okay with the change regarding PC minotaurs and the lack of oversized. I've seen it lead to some pretty broketastic conceptual builds, such as the two-weapon ranger with oversized battleaxes, and could see a similar issue with a minotaur or bugbear barbarian with an oversized...

Have to say that my experiences with Elven Accuracy have been pretty much down the middle. I'll agree it's nice to have for that one important shot, and I've generally used it only when my initial attack roll blew massive chunks (such as a natural 1) or if I know the encounter is pretty much...

Thanks for posting these :)

Well, since the 10th movie blew (to put it mildly), mayhap the trend has been bucked enough for the upcoming flick to be good.

To the OP: Well played good sir, well played. I'd go so far as to say this will be your character's Crowning Moment of Awesome No matter what those heathen Celts with their grumpy ways have to say about it ;)

Sarcasm's is getting awfully thick mate ;) On topic, As as my aptitudes as a GM, I sure as heck ain't perfect. I've had my good sessions, I've had my bad sessions. I've run some awesome campaigns, and I've run some campaigns that make me cringe in revulsion of how awful they were. These...
