My mistake then, expert person. I still am not clear how if he's 13th level, that no one else is on par with that. I mean we don't see V casting 7th spells right?

Prismatic Spray, in this very strip.

Yeah, they're pretty much up there. I'm not sure if we've seen V cast 8th level spells.

[Thomas Seitz]

thejeff,

Dammit! I missed that huh? Okay well when we hit 8th level spells, we know we're getting there.

V has also cast Power Word Blind (Level 7) and Stun (Level 8).

I think you missed my post last page gents.

V has been casting Prismatic Spray for 3 years in real time now.

[Kobold Catgirl]

V barred Conjuration, too. That's why they can't teleport.

They made a joke about teleport being a transmutation spell in 3.0. V can't cast it now because they went from 3 to 3.5 when it changed to a conjuration spell.

Saw it after I posted, but left it up to point out it was in the most recent strip.

I figured V had used something 8th level, but couldn't think of anything offhand.

Yeah, that's how I know.

[markofbane]

There is a group on the Giant In The Playground site that is tracking the game stats for each character based on clues in the comics. They speculate that V is a 16th level evoker.

[markofbane]

New comic is up.

Remind me to squee later...

[Shadowborn]

Ooh. Giant-sized panels. Cool.

They're called Giant-sized Panels in the Playground, FYI.

[Kobold Catgirl]

Oh, this was heartbreaking. That's going to take a toll on the crew, and Bandanna in particular.

Also, that's two. There were three. The one who evidently hasn't jumped yet had what looked like a big white beard, and is probably the senior giant. So...be afraid.

[Thomas Seitz]

Two frost giants jump onto an airship. There's a joke in there somewhere.

[The Raven Black]

I liked the "travel-sized corpse" bit :-)

[TriOmegaZero]

Okay, now you're just getting unfairly personal.

[Imbicatus]

The giant has a point. Any reasonable high level fighter should be able to eat 20d6 damage. Especially if they were as smart as Roy likes to pretend to be and got a cheap pair of boots of the cat or a ring of feather fall. Especially when other members of his team have done so.

[Tacticslion]

I'm looking forward to a:

(X.X)

... next comic~!

(Specifically a giant's face doing that.)

Quite a lot of points, having written 1061 comic strips about it and all that jazz.

[baron arem heshvaun]

I see what you did there.

(Am I still allowed to say that?)

[The Raven Black]

Prove, prove, prove, prove him wrong :-)

1) Catfall boots don't exist in OotS.

2) He had eaten a lot of damage from the lich.

3) No argument about the ring, of course. My fighter/cleric in full plate had necklace of adaptation and ring of feather fall on his shopping list almost from the start. Something about Climb and Swim checks being a thing.

Come on. What sort of warrior could not even handle a little fall ?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Roy spent a while while falling searching for a healing potion, since he'd easily survive the fall as long as he was at full health. He'd just taken a meteor swarm to the face.

[memorax]

Mind you we don't really know how high up they are imo. A little fall could end up being mouch more than that.

Except that falling damage tops out. 20d6 is the max.

[Kobold Catgirl]

Of course, if the ground is spiky, the GM has grounds to add to that. And it is a mountainous region.

[memorax]

I'm fully expecting

Roy: look out for that pointy ridge
Giant: which Ridge (splat)
Roy: So much for it being a little fall.

[Sissyl]

If it was nethack, the ground would not only be spiked, the spikes would also be poisoned.

[Chris Mortika]

And with that third giant dispatched, the shipwright is surprised to find herself suddenly advanced two experience levels.

[KingOfAnything]

#1062: Spanner in the Works

That's one way to fix the problem.

[TriOmegaZero]

Or make a new problem.

[Fromper]

I'm sure it's not an accident that the ship's railing blocks the view of her eyes, so we can't see if there are x's on them or not.

[BigNorseWolf]

Who hasn't wanted to do that to their boss?

[Thomas Seitz]

I do of course Skold but the fact remains I'd probably hold off on doing it while fighting Frost Giants.

I'm kind of worried about that, but surely someone else on board would have commented on that, right?

RIGHT?!

It's bosses all the way down... Or up.

Is that a vital area on Baron Arem Heshvaun?

Hmm ... where did I put the keys to the Death Star, I'm sure I had them on me.

[John Woodford]

Great--now Sharoth is going to be off somewhere joyriding. Baron, I hope you didn't just fill the tank.

[Sharoth]

~roars around in the Death Star, blowing up random planets and terrorizing the galaxy~

[BigNorseWolf]

in space, no one can hear you hit the general lee's dixie horn before blowing up a planet.

YEE-HAW!!! ~blows up another planet~

Isn't the Falcon just the Gen Lee in space ?
