It's referring to Roy's trick of letting Elan trip over a plot.

Indeed. Once is funny - twice would be a bit stale, three times or more would smack of deus ex machina to the point of palling the story.

[Majin Gojira]

There's the comedic rule of 3. Second time isn't that funny, but the THIRD time...The third time you need to flout expectations.

728 is up !

That drink must be really cold

[Ilya Muromets]

Poor guy.

You'd think someone genre savvy enough to pick up on the Star Wars theme would do better than to tempt fate by saying that line.

[open_sketchbook]

Oh man, I think we all know what's going to happen next.

"He doesn't like you."

"I'm sorry."

"I don't like you much either!"

I've got a bad feeling aobut this...

A pity Durkon's spiritual wepaon is a hammer, not a saber

Oh, I'm going to go ahead and hope that they wind up OK. Gannji does have a point - what they're doing is not necessarily unethical, as such.

[SAMAS]

I sense an ass-whooping...

[Crazedwraith]

Nice to see, Roy's got the bow. It is a +5 after all.

[Lord of the Abyss]

#729 up!

[LadyTevar]

Hello 5d6 Lightning damage.

[Crazedwraith]

Oh man, something has gone wrong when Belkar is the voice of reason over Roy. Like let's not attack that half dragon dude with the mace as big as I am.

[The Yosemite Bear]

but then he could be as a Final Fantasy hero, with a weapon bigger then himself...

of course he could always just mug that albino with the black sword over in the corner somewhere....

[Highlord Laan]

5d6 lightning to what, a 13th level fighter or something?

Sparky is lucky Roy isn't the type to get horrendously pissed in a cramped bar.

Roy survived a meteor swarm to the face, casted by an epic lich.
5D6 points of lightning damage won't do squat. Sometimes, being a meatshield is great

By the way, i think that's why Belkar sent Roy first. He might have Evasion - but seeing Roy getting blasted (without actual harm) is just funnier.

[Crazedwraith]

Hell even, Elan, took one of those blasts and came back from it. He did have a sexy battle scarred look afterwards though.

[Ilya Muromets]

You know, the one thing this strip made me want to do was to go out and grab some plump, fresh oranges and make a glass of hand-squeezed OJ.

I blame Belkar.

Let's see, Roy has taken 32d6 damage from a Meteor Swarm at point blank range (2d6 per each of the rock-globes, then 6d6 fire from each), and survived. That's an average shot of 112 points of damage (assumes failed save. How do you Reflex save when you're riding on a dragon?).
Meteor Swarm Reference; Player's Handbook 3.5, page 253


The Half-Blue Dragon Ogre's breath weapon is going to be 6d8 or maybe 6d10 (if you're with a DM that increased the breath weapon damage dice with size. Very rare those). Or about 27 points of damage on average. (
Roy should be able to take 4 of those breath weapon blasts without a problem (even with failed saving throws). And Half-Dragons can only use their breath weapon once per day.
Half-Dragon Template Reference; Monster Manual, page 146. (I can't believe Lady Tevar got the damage wrong)

I hope that's not the reptiles only close range damaging attack, otherwise, they could have problems.

Especially when Belkar turns from his drink and Sneak Attacks the big blue guy. He is flanking him after all.

I don't think that's what they're planning on...or rather, what Belkar's planning on. He's going to go ahead and follow them when they scarper, just like he originally suggested.

LadyTevar believes she was thinking Lightning Bolt Mage/Sorc spell. Either way, thanks for the correction.

Their are feats, class features and spells that alter the effect and damage, so it could of been more than normal.

Quite - but still not that dangerous to a high-level fighter.

[lance]

I think it can get Maximized and empowered, and a couple of dice added, if it goes through the necessary hoops.

Still none of which is going to come remotely close to the damage of a direct hit meteor swarm. Hence, "No real shocker."
