DreadArchon said:On effectiveness: Didn't they specifically say that these are only Level 1 Hobgoblins? Belkar is, what, level 14? I don't see a problem here.
he made up for some of that with backstory roleplay in one of the strips.kenobi65 said:Actually, by the RAW, he'd be lagging the rest of the OotS (assuming 13th or so is the baseline, as established by V's spells a few weeks ago).
Belkar is apparently a Ranger X / Barbarian 1 (and has been since shortly after the end of the Dungeon of Dorukan), neither of which are a favored class for halflings. He's got an XP penalty going there.
AFGNCAAP said:Wonder what kind of slaad, though---the weirdness-spouting exemplar of chaos slaad that Elan had, or maybe the incoherent sociopathy possible with a death slaad? Belkar seems the type to get Evil in his Chaotic (or, if you will, having a more Warhammer-esque sort of Chaos).
