The discussion thread moves faster than the art thread because it takes a couple minutes to make a post but maybe half an hour plus to make a comic.

The discussion thread was made separate to the art thread for that reason, it kept burning through the thread's 50 page allotment in too short a time.

No way in all 9 hells is that going to be canon.

Also, as far as I run it when I'm writing stuff, ABR is on a planet, and that planet is in the Material Plane. The other planes have their contemporaries, so the Elemental Plane of Fire might have a planet in Avbaroy's place coated in fire, as with any other planetoids.

Surely your definition of naked does not include trousers.
EDIT: While browsing thru the OotS archives, I found out that trousers were visible on shirtless males. Please forgive my error.

Wait...there are epic level kobolds?


And assuming that the beholders have a few levels in some sort of PC class, as they would have to to be a random encounter for five epic-level kobolds, they would still be a threat to a few kobolds of even 20-ish level. Note that there are three of them...and they all have disintergrate beams and such, and anti-magic eyes, of course...beholders are awesome..

Vampire. epic level is 21st level and beyond plus you get a save against those effects and the mages level itself is higher than the DC.
seriusly how strong do you think the beholders are they was sent to deal with kobolds (wich most people think isn't even a challenge for 1st levelers) oh and think abaut what the mage can summon/transorm into.

*Reads comics written by Keveak and Beholder*
I think they're terrific, but is anyone reminded of two little kids arguing over whether the Captain Scoundrel action figure is tougher than the dragon plush toy, and whether Scoundrel has a bilver sword, etc.?
I hope I don't have to seperate you two.

Kev, you totally missed Vamp's point.
in order for the beholders to be a random encounter, they have to be close/same to the kobold's level.Thus, the beholders must have a good chance of defeating the kobolds.

Meh, if they're a random encounter, as your kobolds say, then the encounter will be balanced for your kobolds' levels.

Anyway, whatever, have fun.

Lovin' the new kobold avvy.

There is no saving throw for Antimagic Field. At best, you can get Spell Resistance, but only for a Summoned creature to avoid winking out.

Keveak? Stop godmodding. Don't make the beholder surrender. He will if he wants to. Also, given that they had lots of artillery, I don't think he will.

@ lying two of them was good without magic and the others could just waait till the beholders turn around, iI didn't now there wasn't a saving throw against it.
@Vampire the kobolds thought it was an random encounter that doesn't mean it is, they had no idea it was low level beholders at the moment.

EDIT: @Gremlin^ the only beholder surrendering is the leader of those 3 the rest didn't (and i'm not god-modding those adventures just was there plus what about beholder he have an army ( now we both have but the epic level guys teleported away so...))

Indeed.


Also :

Beholders are shiny (debatable) mutliple eyed floating balls of bouncy death!

Kobolds are small reptiles.

Have you read the draconomicon? Epic kobolds are rare, as most kobolds spend their short lives working in their various mines, trying to emulate the habits of dragons, and the example of the first kobold.
Five epic kobolds do not randomly occur...it's unrealistic.

Meh, your little 'war' is is made of phail. [also debatable, since phail isn't actually a word, nor does it describe anything that anything can be made of, like matter.]
Anyway, keep on drawin', I may enter it at some point if I feel so inclined.
And I love beholder1995's drawings, they're teh awesome! I wish I didn't fail so much at waving pens at pieces of paper to create pictures.

Keveak, you do know that rand is in the citadel currently holding... whats he called... whatever... in a magic field or smth?
Thus it should be implausible that he is standing next to you at the vendetta.

Why do the big kobolds leading on the flanks have big pointy metal genitals?

no Vampire I haven't read Draconomnicon since I only have 1 D&D book and they aren't making new ones. but you are speaking about usual kobolds EEEVIL kobolds me and the army is neutral good kobolds from Kerr'tak a city of (normally) peacefull kobolds and gnomes who fled from wars between their races (backstoriffic) we aren't dumb enough to show up before 5th level, and just because a epic level party of kobolds is unusual doesn't mean it don't happens. (oh and checkWotC webside somebody somewhere writes how long kobolds live. they are young adults at the same age as an elf so they aren't short lived. "ghasp" that was a lot.
