Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
I don't know; TIM wanted the Dryad's blood. Burning her crisp would have been kinda counterproductive.

But TIM soaked up a fireball, and suddenly was healed and had eyes and everything.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
I tried to write the Infernomancer as a class or prestige class a long time ago, but gave up because it was so impossible to account for everything.
I revisited the idea several months ago and decided to start from scratch with a super fire mage idea.
It worked much better, and now it's in my sig.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
Becoming an Infernomancer (and being a Demon Lord, so far as we can see,) seems to be akin to buying a ticket in the Superpower Lottery. Maybe you become invincible, maybe you gain the ability to make people get angry over the rape of their friend.
In D&D terms I imagine it would be one of those prestige classes that have a set of base abilities and then get to choose one of a selection of themes to gain more specialized abilities from. So maybe everybody has super fire mage powers, while infernomancers who choose Karnak get DR and the like, while ones who choose the Poison demon get some mind-affecting SLA's.
Edit: though I suppose Diabolic Domain actually makes your class kind of like that.Last edited by spectralphoenix; 2010-09-09 at 02:07 PM.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
Heyall,
Infernomancers are just D&D warlocks with a different name. As of 4th ed, the two are exactly the same: make a deal with an extradimensional entity -- demon, devil, Cthulhu, whatever -- and you get the kind of power wizards have to spend years studying to obtain.
Edit: Okay, the fire absorption is a bit different. As is the "Revive kills Zombie" trait.
On another note, the real winner of the Superpower Lottery among the Infernomancers would have to be Caylen Bren. His special trait was "Screw the Rules, I have Plot". At least until Mookie needed him to die.Last edited by M84; 2010-09-09 at 01:56 PM.

Hey if chaos doesn't obey the rules, shouldn't Celesto have gone to an incredibly ordered place to meditate and scry? Like some flat plane covered with parallel lines and geometric shapes? After all, the rules is that rules don't apply to chaos beings.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
It was totally extrapolated, with no basis in the strip... But I also made the same 'mental band-aid' to make that make sense, so it's not a bad assumption: just completely nonsensical.
How would a dyrad's blood counteract infernal pact magic anyway?
Also, for extra bonus points, would that work for the infernomancer of Chaos?LPs:

Young Romero and Mookie both have the long hair. Just add stubble and glasses.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
There are only so many clothes in Hell. When you arrive, you're naked. One of the perks of being a lord of Hell is that you can kill pretty much anybody who has fancy clothes and take them for your own. Hence, being clothed is a sign of power - you're either powerful in your own right, or you're some demon lord's whipping boy. This is why Siegfried got clothes instantly - by merit of Karnak just waxed most of the population of Hell, he suddenly had a lot of clothes to choose from. A lot of snappy clothes.
Loxo and Bulgak were pledged to crummy demon lords who are now dead, and since their powers are respectively, political machination and being a whiner, they can't win their own clothes.

So I guess Hell is now populated by 'king' Karnak and the conveniently unharmed infernomancer duo? Oh, and the occasional hoards of NPC (demonic) monsters for point gaining.
This makes sense

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
Well if you want a dude's shirt, you stab him in the crotch. If you want a dude's trousers, you stab him in the chest. If you think a dude's entire outfit is pretty dapper, stab him in the eye.
So far I like Lady Loxo.
What's with Bulgak's hands in panel four? It looks like he's got clubs for arms.

Loxo's clothing design is half-assed.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
The sexual tension in this strip is palpable.
I just thought of something: doesn't the fact that you can die in Hell fairly easily kind of, you know, defeat the point of Hell?

Bulgak was an infernomancer of poison, so he's trying to poison his relationship with Loxo. Being a whiner and a general creep, in a too-pathetic-to-be-really-threatening way, is his current approach.
