Failing Saves

[The Bushranger]

He's a Tin-man from the Oz campaign setting. Preety good stats for only a +1 LA, except for getting slowed when hit by water based attacks.

Ha...ha ha...tee hee...MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Forgive me for asking this but what race is the big barbarian guy. If it has come up before sorry but I just don't want to read 15 pages to find out.

Gliph is a warforged, a special construct race unique to the Eberron Campaign Setting. Although Failing Saves takes place in a homebrew setting, Undertaker's primary DnD experience comes from Dungeons & Dragons Online, so most of the setting should look like a bastardized version of Eberron.

It hasn't been revealed so far, but I think it was intended to be Warforged.

The setting can be preety tough, our DM hit us with 10 flying monkeys at one point, took out my TinMan Wizard and our cleric before we managed to get away. Fortunetally our munchkin paladin (Both the race and the build) had taken the feat Lollypop Guild Membership at 6th level and succeeded on his roll to get us discounts on our ressurections.

I realise that part of the kobold exits panel 3, I'll fix that later

[The Bushranger]

Hilarious.

[banjo1985]

Aww poor Gilph...he's all alone in the dark and he can't see without light...I hope he doesn't get scared

[Wolfman42666]

Well, what happens now?!
Edit: @V You know what I mean!

You'll have to keep reading won't you?

[Marlock94]

I definatlly will!

Go Kobolds! They got respect without resorting to Pun-Pun!

this is true

[Surfing HalfOrc]

I keep telling people kobolds can be dangerous! Most people go with the:

DM: "The kobold turns, hisses, and throws its spear at you."

Player: "I slash with my sword."

DM: "It goes down like a sack of moldy potatoes. It had 1d4 sp and 1d6 cp in a pouch."

routine, without ever giving the kobolds a chance to lure "Our Heroes" into the traps set by the kobolds.

I always think of Home Alone when it comes to kobolds: 1 kobold vs 2 Lvl 3 Rogues. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern took quite a drubbing before the end of that movie.

EDIT: I just noticed "Trip." "Tripping..." "And... Tripped!"

The torchlight effect on the wall here is pretty excellent, and I don't recall seeing anything like in in other webcomics. It's great, how'd you do it?

Think he is making a half circle, selecting the color, and selecting another kind of fill style...

Nah, hes making a full circle, putting some blur on it, and then layering it so Its infront of the wall, but behind the torch and floor.

Or Tucker.

Back on topic: I'm liking the characters very much. Delrek is somewhat akin to Elan. He's not stupid so much as just seemingly naive and young. Korul is funny with his semi-sarcastic nature, and seems to have the most depth at this point. Gangorn is already a contender for the "Badass Halfling Award"TM and Gilph is also a pretty funny idiot. Great writing, Undertaker, and excellent art Salmon! I check Failing Saves regularly.

This rambling, stream-of-consciousness post brought you by GroggyCo. Keep your posts incoherent with GroggyCo!

Wow...never thought warforged enjoyed beer...yay for AA

[The Bushranger]

Little does he know exactly who (or, more precisely, what) he just squished.

[SoD]

Typical, he's a beer drinker. I thought he'd drink big people drinks. Hang on, I thought they didn't eat or drink?

[Bayar]

Denying a Warforged the right to drink beer would be racist...I think...

[SoD]

Nah, I see warforged as the sort of guys who watch people chugging beer with disdain. And sit dowing shot after shot of vodka. Or absinthe.

[Lyinginbedmon]

We had a Monk/Ninja Warforged character in our group. We theorised that a construct similar to a Warforged (But without the Living Construct subtype) could in theory drink an infinite amount of alcohol and avoid losing their sobriety.

We never really had the chance to test the theory though...

[Marlock94]

Poor Gilph. I wonder what happened to The others...

[Yeril]

I was in a campaign once, and they had a warforged who was very big on the fact of his sentinence, Always going on about how he had the choice, moral, and freedom to act as he wanted. So he always had these little speeches to himself when he went to a tavern, ate a meal, drank some beer, ect.

"Im going to eat this meal. I am not oblieged to eat, nor do I require it, nor enjoy it, but I eat because I have the choice to eat, and I have chosen to eat this meal."

So you had Robot Martin Luthor King as a party member?

That's awesome!!

@Lying; Yup.

Undead Jackie Chan too.

@Kpenguin

Yeah It was realy cool, although he got DM-killed due to inactivity a short way into the campaign, heres a qoute from him that realy sums up everything.

The barkeep tentatively slides the warforged a mug of water, which is stopped by the construct's massive three-fingered hand. He stares at it for a moment, before emptying the contents into his mouth.
Water. It is wet. It is cool. I chose to drink it. I choose, therefore I live.
The warforged 'blinks,' his eyes going dark for a split second. He then holds out a massive finger, leaning slightly on the bar.
Thank you. Alcohol now, please.
The barkeep stares inquisitively at the creature, shrugs, and passes him a mug of ale. The warforged takes it, fidgets with a pouch on his thick leather belt, and places four coppers on the counter.
Thank you.
Again, he stares at the drink, foam dripping down the side of the glass mug. He then slowly pours the entire thing down his open mouth. Not a single drip escapes his massive, jagged lower jaw.
Alcohol. Ale. It is cool. It is wet. It tastes different from water. I chose a different beverage. I do not need alcohol. The choice was there, however. Life is full of things I do not need. The purpose of life is living. I chose to imbibe a substance non-vital to my functioning. I choose, therefore I live. I have chosen to be here, choosing beverages. I am living.
The bolts on the side of the warforged's lower jaw rise up the side of his head slightly, in what might pass for a smile. Then Jules came and sat next to him. The warforged paused for a moment, returning the mug carefully to the counter.
Hail. I am Kiln. It is a good day to be alive.

[Clertar]

Very good! And it's getting more and more interesting
