Perseus was a total powergamer.

He was an idiot is what he was...

Seriously, a Helm of Invisibility Lost on his first proper outing, a shield with a built-in Commune spell, screwed over shortly after... A clockwork Familiar who speaks in a language only he understands, and a sword that ignores hardness... do you see him do a single sunder with it?

I think the DM threw in the 'Okay you can still use the Medusa head' thing because Persie-boy was sanding undefended in front of a kracken at the time...

We'd be talking TPK if the DM hadn't thrown in that sudden houserule.

They're all good, but he's on a roll with Belkar. But I wouldn't put him as CE. More NE, IMHO.

personally I just kinda see him as CN with a habit of being as annoying as possible to whoever he interacts with, so if it's a LG pally, he'll play up CE, if it's a CE lich, He'll play up his CN side. *shrugs*

Excellent strip! Like others, I really appreciated the battlefield detail. Roy, Belkar, etc....it's all there.

These last 4 cartoons have been most enjoyable. Thanks, Rich!

 

[Whimsical]

Hard evidence that Belkar is evil.

-What's the fire that's burning on the castle proper?

That's the Gothic Theurge trying to impress her new boss.

wink-wink, nudge-nudge, know-what-I-mean?

I didn't think it was possible for there still to be someone who doesn't think Belkar is evil. Even if his behaviour in the strip (consistently glorifying slaughter for its own sake just for starters) and the Unholy Blight incident didn't seal it, you'd think Rich Berlew explicitly confirming it on his boards two or three times over would.

I suppose this explains why UMD (skull) is a charisma-linked skill....
