Re: D&D Demotivators IX: Tome of Motivation: Thread of Nine Posters
At first glance, yes, but this is complicated by how the Siegeacon moves. We can reasonably make assumptions about the amount of force that can be generated by the catapult mechanism. The arms of the golem are notably longer, offering greater leverage, but we don't know how much force it can generate - how hard and fast it can throw. If we assume something akin to "muscle-like" power, then I'd wager the sling-shot effect here will give you a harder launch. But if it's all "wizard did it" magic, all bets are off.
You could easily interpret the picture as the Golem loading the catapult, or retrieving the rock from the catapult to huck at someone.

Re: D&D Demotivators IX: Tome of Motivation: Thread of Nine Posters
Actually, no, forces involved in throwing any heavier stuff are often going to be far greater than in bow shooting.
Reason to use a bow is generally velocity, not force, before all other things.
No matter of force put in, human hand cannot comfortably move quite as fast as bow arms.
But the only actual physics available about golem arm is 'can't move at all', so it's all kinda moot.Last edited by Spiryt; 2014-11-06 at 08:35 AM.

Re: D&D Demotivators IX: Tome of Motivation: Thread of Nine Posters
You know, there is no reason not to train the golems in olympic disciplines like shot put in order to amplify their throwing capabilities. I kind of have this whole idea of Greek, sport-themed golem army: javeliners, pankrationists, discus throwers and so on. This would be so much more interesting then the regular crude brawlers you encounter.

Re: D&D Demotivators IX: Tome of Motivation: Thread of Nine Posters
It depends on how the forces work, but the advantage of the spring is that it can have incredible force without a 'limiter', while an arm, which needs to be able to move freely in at least two directions, has to have forces that are usually balanced. To get a joint to have the same force as a catapult, it needs two springs/winches, and a way for them to release and... hmm... time to start drawing up schematics for an arm that uses wound springs/cords for joints balanced to be capable of fine movement, yet also able to have a quick-release... if I weren't lazy.
Or magic to move with spring-like force.

Re: D&D Demotivators IX: Tome of Motivation: Thread of Nine Posters
Spoiler: heh
About an hour into a society module (which was supposed to take 2 four/five hour sessions), my paladin asked the mayor why he was evil, to his face, at a banquet, in front of the whole town. That brought the entire module down on our heads all at once as the entire town bum-rushed us. We survived. Per society rules we beat the module and got to level, after 2 hours.

@ Sartharina
the whole town was an evil cult trying to cover up blah blah blah I didn't catch all the details since we murdered everybody. Not on purpose mind you, they all fell on my sword... a lot of people fall on my sword.
It was "The Feast of Ravenmoore" module I'm pretty sure, if that clears anything up.
EDIT: The DM's fault really. He shouldn't have expected tact from a party that consisted of a Paladin, a Fighter, and a Barbarian. The fourth guy was some kind of caster... a pregen bard or something. I wasn't a scan and smite paladin either (I had max ranks in Diplomacy), it just worked out that way that one session. My character was questioning the guy on some things that didn't make sense and it... went south very quickly.
@ Erik I guess it was written in the module that that is how the NPCs would respond if outed, we just happened to conveniently have them all gathered in one place. The DM was in a bit of a bind with that one, though he could have handled it differently.
The fighter had a 30 AC and my LoH healed 2d6+4, we were never in any real danger honestly, except from will saves. Well, the others were weak to will saves, I had Paladin saves with an 18 charisma.Last edited by FabulousFizban; 2014-11-06 at 08:38 PM.

Given the name, covering up canabalism.
Why they chose to attack you like that though is stupid, and the GM should feel bad.

Most people go unconcious vefore that happens, but not those with diehard. Nothing stops you from acting while a soul.

Re: D&D Demotivators IX: Tome of Motivation: Thread of Nine Posters
In fact, the game shows us that not having a 'soul' is in no way reason for the DM to say you can't play your character anymore. Warforged may or may not have a soul, and I believe undead don't have one either. Outsiders are explicitly described as having no separate soul and body.

Unintelligent undead don't have souls, but intelligent ones either have or are souls according to Magic Jar. Outsiders have their soul and body as one unit, as do elementals.

What are you thinking about possibly branching out a bit and adding captions and speech bubbles to fantasy art?
Stuff like this:
Spoiler
The second one was actually posted by the original artist himself.
I've seen some really funny captions to normal pictures on occasion, and there should probably be a huge potential for doing them with fantasy art. I'd really love to see what ideas you might come up with.We are not standing on the shoulders of giants, but on very tall tower of other dwarves.
