    He'd wake up from that very strange dream and remember that subclasses aren't a thing in the edition he's in, and Eldritch Knight is a prestige class he doesn't qualify for, which would make him no longer the single-classed fighter he's proud of being if he did.

    Also if he were to pick a subclass, he'd have to do it approximately 12 levels ago.

    Well really the edition is fluid so he could be an Eldritch Knight if Rich wanted him to be

    But the leveling is fluid in OOTS they lose and gain levels all the time.

    "If Rich wanted" he could make Roy anything at all. But he does not want to. He wants to tell a consistent story set in a world were 3.5 rules are laws of the universe.

    Edit: Also, I respectfully direct you to the board rules

    No, the edition is 3.5; anything that doesn't neatly conform to 3.5 rules is treated as a narrative decision and/or a house rule (depending on how you want to interpret it).

    But they've been steadily and explicitly growing in power for a while now.

    Also, we know Roy's sword glows because he unlocked its unique powers, so... I'm not sure why his being an Eldritch Knight is even in consideration.

    That made my love so high and me so low.

    O should she e'er prove false, his limbs I'd tear
    And throw all pity on the burning air;
    I'd curse bright fortune for my mixed lot,
    And then I'd die in peace, and be forgot.

    That would be awesome honestly and would make it clarify the edition

    Even though I'm not as familiar with "3.5" WD&D, it seems pretty clear that OotS is based on that version of D&D, what's not clear?

    Anyway, since @Darkship mentions "subclass" I'm guessing the 5e "Elritch Knight" is meant, but as far as I know The Giant hasn't done any strips that reference 5e, but Kubota held a 4e book, and in

    Snips Snails and Dragon Tales

    the Order meets their 4e counterparts.

    I'm sure Mr.Burlew could write great material using different editions or compete games as inspiration, but the strip is great as is, so lets not rock the boat.
