Re: OOTS #806 - The Discussion Thread
Feather fall lower the distance fell thus lowering fall damage.
A cleric cant cast Feather Fall normally. Instead they just take the falling damage and healling the damage.

Re: OOTS #806 - The Discussion Thread
Excepting traditionally you don't research Cleric spells. You get them from the deity; so I figure you'd have talk to some angel management to get them to recognize the spell at the very least.
Unless Mass Death Ward is a clerical spell largely forgotten and Durkon is rediscovering through research.

Huh, I would think that restoring Haley would take priority, maybe he doesn't have anything memorized for that.

Re: OOTS #806 - The Discussion Thread
I like how Durkon swears by "Thor's aching bunions" in the second panel and at the end Thor mentions how he needs to "go soak [his] feet". Clearly Durkon knows a lot about his chosen deity.

Re: OOTS #806 - The Discussion Thread
Just noticed a joke I missed the first time I read it. In panel to Durkon said "Thor's aching bunions!" and in the last panel Thor needs to go soak his feet.

Re: OOTS #806 - The Discussion Thread
I don't know why he had to research the spell in the first place. It already exists . It's not in the Player's Handbook, but it's in the Spell Compendium and Tsukiko already used Orb spells, which are also non-core.
Anyway, it's great to have ThorPrayer back I wonder if Durkon can sue Him?: I may be in error, but I believe the appropiate proclamation is "Sneak Attack, bitch."

Re: OOTS #806 - The Discussion Thread
DEATH WARD, MASS
Necromancy
Level: Cleric 8, druid 9
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets: One creature/level, no two of which are more than 30 ft. apart
Sensing the spark of life in your allies through your magic, you bolster that spark and protect it from harm.
This spell functions like death ward (PH 217), except as noted above.
Death Ward
Necromancy
Level: Clr 4, Death 4, Drd 5, Pal 4
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Living creature touched
Duration: 1 min./level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
The subject is immune to all death spells, magical death effects, energy drain, and any negative energy effects (such as from inflict spells or chill touch).
This spell doesn’t remove negative levels that the subject has already gained, nor does it affect the saving throw necessary 24 hours after gaining a negative level.
Death ward does not protect against other sorts of attacks, such as hit point loss, poison, or petrification, even if those attacks might be lethal.: I may be in error, but I believe the appropiate proclamation is "Sneak Attack, bitch."

Re: OOTS #806 - The Discussion Thread
She almost certainly had to research them specifically, though. For simplicity, I usually assume that all spells in the SRD are "common knowledge" and everything else is "obscure/non-existent" unless someone has researched it. That's because the bulk of the reading audience won't know about each and every spell in 3.5, but most of them have the Player's Handbook.
Plus, I didn't know Mass Death Ward was an actual spell until right this moment. I was merely extrapolating, I never checked any of the books for it. But it doesn't really affect the story either way, except for that I was pegging it at 7th level instead of 8th.Rich Burlew

Well, would you look at that. Another conveniently placed deus ex machina to balance the odds in favour of the bad guys.

Re: OOTS #806 - The Discussion Thread
About researching, I typically go by the idea that divine caster has to believe that the spell exists on their spell list before they can ask for it. So non-core spells would exist in stories of another caster of the same class and similiar diety that the original caster would have to research to know if true.
So Thor could have a lot of spells that could get confused with Mass Death Ward (a spell I wouldn't have believed was 8th level. Waste) that Durkon doesn't know about.Gitp's No. 1 Cake hater

Re: OOTS #806 - The Discussion Thread
Don't be utterly ridiculous. The fact that Nale owns a relatively inexpensive magic item is not even remotely surprising or unexpected, given his level, wealth, and the fact that last time we saw him, he said he was going to shop for magic items. (Second to last panel.)
How exactly do you expect me to foreshadow each and every magic item that they have? Did you want me to dedicate an entire strip to Nale standing around saying, "Look at my new wand!"?
Come on. Surprises are not Deus (or Diabolous) Ex Machinas, they're surprises. Nothing more or less. If you want to know every little thing that is going to happen before it happens, go read another comic.Rich Burlew
