Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
Of course not. They just appeared out of the blue when the comic started.
Something i'm curious about, Coffee - how many of these characters' backstories 'wrote themselves' for lack of a better word after initial character creation?

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
OK... This is now interesting. Can I make a suggestion? I can't see a lot of the finer stuff going on, could you please make the buildings a different shade of black? Otherwise, these last few have got me very interested in the storyline, and less so in the jokes. Keep it coming.
I'm mostly here for Warframe and a tiny bit of RWBY.

If I were to guess, we're about to see even more Fantastic Racism against Plavaan. He will probably get barely acknowledged, if they let him demonstrate at all.

No, it will be a divination spell that will reveal Peakane's darkest secret.

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
While I do my college work, here's a fun little tidbit about Aequarian magic.
There's no psionic magic in Aequar. The oldest form of magic is Arcana, and it's the most scientific. The youngest is Druidic magic, although its only the youngest by a century or two, tops.My webcomic!

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
PFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Um. No. Psionics are, mechanically, the most balanced type of casting. If ANYTHING should be banned for power, it's Wizards, Clerics and Druids. Possibly also sorcerers, but they're better.
Psionics are often banned because people think they're too sci-fi ish though.
Also, I agree. Fir is awesome. xDRecent Homebrew: The Socialite | The Crystalline: Memory Altering Construct Race | Sanguine Hand, a ToB Discipline of blood and cruelty

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
Thing is, the truth and what people think can be two completely different things (people ignoring the max pp spent on a power = ML rule is one thing that makes people think it's broken, also the way psionics is pretty damn good at blasting is another, if they're just using basic blasty casters).

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
True, true. People do tend to think psionics are broken. And they may make better blasters...

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
i always just figured people didn't want the hassle of point-playing. If you need to manage math to figure out what you can and cant do, then it might be time to reroll.

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
What about the nature of magic in this world? What little you know about it, anyway.
*sigh* There really aren't too many different people on here, are there?My webcomic!

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
I'm still here too. Just haven't had anything even relatively smart to post. "Yay! New comic!" sounds a bit dull alone.
I love Fir, btw that cat is awesome!
I also have a half finished Riley fanart lying around somewhere... hmm, it still needs a face...Last edited by CWater; 2011-08-29 at 03:29 PM.

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
Why exactly is that Psionics don't exist in Aequar? Do you have a particular reason Coffee?
In normal (to the degree it can be normal) D&D verse, psionics seems to be a little more scientific I guess....
Also Draconi Redfir, Maths is s the BASE of everything crunch related in D&D, and if you have played any CRPG chances are that you have played a mana point system which is Power point system by other name.

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
I wanted to wait until the next page for a second update in as many days...
#152: Think Of The Potential
I really hope this gives you guys a little bit more insight into the nature of magic in Aequar. Also, before you ask, he was far from the first person to think of this idea. It's just that a critical material component of the spell turned out to be a very specific type of sulfur deposit, that is only found near his home in the Alavaan Plains.
And here you see the birth of pesticides! Or, to use the catch-all phrase in this type of thing, magitech (except here, it's called arcantech).
So what do you like about this comic? Also, guess what real-world fungus insanity mold is based off of!Last edited by CoffeeIncluded; 2011-08-30 at 07:21 AM.

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
Huh, so not all the PHB spells are around yet, then, if Cloudkill is a new thing...
That's a pretty cool idea.

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
When he was talking about making the vapor toxic, I was wondering why he didn't just use Cloudkill. I thought the reason was that Cloudkill would also kill most of the farmers. Now I find it was just not invented yet (very well done!)
How are they going to deal with the whole killing-the-farmers thing? And isn't it a bit too high level for random farmers to afford?

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
How?
Thank you!
Thanks! And he wasn't talking about using the spell in the field, he talked about using it to clear out pest infestations in storehouses, where the spell will be trapped and have nowhere to go. Though he didn't think about the last part.My webcomic!

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
It's Cloudkill. Once people know about it, I'm pretty sure people won't just be using it to clear rodent infestations. Many people will find a spell that instantly kills level 3 or lower people in a 20ft radius without a save (and is a SoD against level 3-6s) very useful.
