[OotS] So, they're 12th level, huh?

[Mouseferatu]

It just struck me, as I was looking at Monday's strip in hopes of finding today's up already...

Vaarsuvius is 12th level.

How do I know this? Look at the invoice he gives to the paladin. The charge for fireball reads "360 gp."

Now, we all know that everything in their world goes by the book. And by the book, the cost for the casting of a spell is caster level x spell level x 10.

Fireball is a 3rd-level spell. 360/3 is 120. Divide that by 10...

So. A 12th-level party, assuming they're all roughly the same level/xp. Is this a new revelation, or have I just unearthed something that everyone knew already?

(S)he disintegrated the dragon, didn't he?

Now that I check, Var used Disintegrate TWICE!

Well V and Durkon have used spells like disintegrate and heal, so I had to figure they have to be at levels that allow access to 6th-level spells. So yeah 12th seems appropriate.

Too much time on my hands....

Thank you very much-o, Mister Roboto...

Well, okay. I acknowledge that the fact that they must be at least 12th has been established previously.

But I maintain that the fact that they are 12th--as opposed to, say, higher--is a new discovery and is mine, mine, mine.

Okay, I know this has nothing to do with the point of the thread, but what does this stand for? I keep thinking What Would Tuberculosis Do?, and that just doesn't seem right.

There are no hard-and-fast stats for the characters. I find that if I were to ever commit exact stats to paper, I would feel limited in what I could have these characters do in the future. For example, I might want to make a strip spoofing a particular feat, only to find that I didn’t give it to any of my characters. As a result, there will never be official game statistics for Roy, Elan, and the rest. As a rule of thumb, I tend to think of them as being around 7th-9th level or so; powerful enough to have a bunch of different storytelling options, weak enough that I can justify them running away from anything I throw at them.

Well, this must have been before they leveled cause they must be between about levels 10-12 now, at least 11th level for the two casters. I wouldn't write down anything as law though, cause they seem to have more of what's convenient at the time rather than anything else.

Of course, they could just be at "plot"th level...

Yeah,

But didn't Durkon use a Miracle to umm Heal Elan (or inflict a Colon Tumor, it was close). If we want to go by the book, the only spell he could have used to mimic all the different options ThorPrayer gave him, was through a Miracle. No?

If we go by the good book, that is.
