Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire

[Duke Malagigi]

I exchanged Speed of Thought for Expanded Knowledge with Object Reading as the added power. I almost forgot to give Dominic his full hit die from level one.

[Duke Malagigi]

Excuse me, I just remembered to add in Dominic's racial skill point bonus. Sorry.

[Oracle_Hunter]

Duke, shouldn't you also include Spark, his cat familiar?

I mean, to be complete and all

Dominic under standard rules would have to be a 5th level wizard before Spark, his cat familiar could talk. Unless there is a way around it I'm stumped for now. Now, what do you think about Dispater and Dominic's little prestige class?

[Mewtarthio]

Dominic under standard rules would have to be a 5th level wizard before Spark, his cat familiar could talk.

He's also got the "Mary Sue" template. It comes complete with one talking animal, abnormal hair color, or quirky yet endearing personality trait (your choice).

I gave Dominic a modified Improved Familiar feat.

[Humbug]

At todays comic: Erm, ooooh kaaaay. Super Saiyan anyone?

So, business as usual then.

Winning by the Power of Love (tm). Unexpected for me, though I really should have seen it coming. 'nother super-happy ending in the works. At least Dominic is getting upstaged.

Edit: Hehe, linking to TV tropes is fun and educational.

[Turcano]

It's OVAR NINE THOUSAAAAAAND!

[Kurald Galain]

Well, Milov is about as smart as Goku, so that would be appropriate.

[Nevrmore]

Why do I feel like Mookie is always giving us an ultimatum?

"You can either have dynamic and interesting panel layouts, or you can have plot advancement. You don't get both. I'm not a God, here, people, who do you think I am, Dominic?"

I mean for Christ's sake, all the pretty panels in the world don't hide the fact that this has been the same strip for the past three says.

[Winterwind]

@Duke Malagigi: Shame on you, you forgot about Spark's two most major skills (or would one of these be a tactical feat?): Speak In Alliteration and Death From Above!
Especially the latter is worthy its own entry in the 'attacks' category!


Today's comic: Oooh, the Power of Wuv! See, folks, you can kill 'em, but you can still use your memory of them to embue yourself with celestial power! Go Wuv!

But it's nice to see Milov saving the day, whereas the arrogant seer is getting devoured.


@Nevrmore: Right on spot.

[Jibar]

...what the hell has been going on the last couple of days?
All I got was that there were tentacles of varying colours, and now Milov is wearing armour.
I mean, is this in their minds, real world, or are they all just trapped in some bad hentai movie?

[ElfLad]

SPELLWOLVES: More than meets the eye.

[Karellen]

Oh, Christ. It makes me so crosseyed when people randomly gain superpowers by thinking about happy memories.

Now, now. We all know that the only reason Milov isn't getting devoured is because Dominic mind-switched with him off panel. Only Dominus may grant victory!

[Monnock]

So do you think that this pretty much negates the whole cheating issue? I mean, after calling upon the awesome power of the memories that he has for Jayden I find it hard to believe that he hasn't completely forgiven her, and the fact that he killed her... illusion... doesn't seem to be an issue at all for anyone but Milov.

This entire arc is reminding me of DBZ way too much. I mean, it follows the entire premise of each battle arc to a T, where the heros are getting beat up then they remember who they are fighting for and become super powerful.

Also, isn't the crescent moon thing on his left leg the wrong direction? All the other ones on his left side are the other direction.

... Why does he have foot-guards? Or a loin-cloth?

[Winterwind]

You know, if we learn later that it was Dominic who helped Milov go Super Saiyan (by inducing these memories of Jayden or otherwise), I am going on a rampage and won't stop until I have devastated some minor area.
Eurasia should do.

Indeed. Isn't it tragic? He was angry at her for one booping night! E-mo-tion!
Presumably, they will decide that after all that happened they will have to seperate, but will stay good friends.

And it's not only new motivation and strength through desperation, oh no sir, it comes with a proper outfit, too.
Seems like this is degenerating into a super hero comic after all. It's a better outfit than SuperGreg's, but it's in the same vein.

...Oh dear God, no, please, no, no, no... please, make it so this is not the rise of yet another superhero, and there will be an arc where all the super heroes unite and we have SuperGreg, this armour-clad Milov and who knows who will don some weird outfit by then also?

Also, isn't the crescent moon thing on his left leg the wrong direction? All the other ones on his left side are the other direction.

Indeed. Either that, or they are all supposed to face right, and the one on his left arm is misaligned. But probably, it's the leg.

... Why does he have foot-guards? Or a loin-cloth?

Cause Mookie thinks it's cool for him to look like that now.

Lord Dominus says we've always been at war with Eurasia.

Don't miss the Two Minutes Hate where we express our contempt for that villain, Celestein!

Sounds great!

"Though if at all possible, I'd like to avoid the illicit love affair. No offence.

[Winterwind]

Sounds great!

So, what might the mottoes of Deegeania be?

How about:
"Manipulation is Free Will"
"Rape is Love"
"Forgiving is Arbitrary"
?

Also, "God is Deegan" and "Big Seer is watching you!".

"Though if at all possible, I'd like to avoid the illicit love affair. No offence.

[Humbug]

The people at the LJ community are freaking me out.

Why, what did they do? Share your pain with us!

(I always enjoy a fine horror story )

[Humbug]

The usual actually, worshiping Mookie for this amazing turn of events. But man, reading those comments makes me think they're seriously lacking a brain or something.

[Winterwind]

Maybe they don't. Maybe it's something much more sinister.

Maybe they went to the Cathedral.

[Tekraen]

SPELLWOLVES: More than meets the eye.

It's interesting to see a Spellwolf hulking up.

Remember kids, the Deeganist motto is "Slavery is Freedom!"

[The Great Skenardo]

"Fighting Evil by Moonlight
Winning Love by daylight...
Getting Dominic to help fight
He is the one called Spellwolf Moon!"

[Monnock]

Everyone else gets to be superheros, so I wonder when Dominic will don his super costume.

I also have to wonder if Milov's armor is only in his head, I assume that it is because otherwise it would be too stupid, but I also can't see it just being in his head because if its supposed to be his super bad-ass form then it would be dumb if he only used it once. Then again, SuperGreg has only, and will only, appear once.

It will only appear once

I assume from the previous panel and this one that Milov will now unleash his new 'Tentacles of a Thousand Hearts' Bankai.
