Another option for filling out the Order
Namely - I don't think they will.
I know that, from a tactical gaming standpoint, they need to replace lost members or be severely weakened - but this comic isn't about tactical gaming.
I have trouble thinking that the Giant is going to add new main viewpoint characters at this late stage. Durkon and Belkar will continue to be the other members of the team, even while dead and vamped. Just like Roy was when he was dead.
I know we're not sure how the Order can function without a primary healer, but I think we all trust Rich to have an answer to that question.

Re: Another option for filling out the Order
On one hand, I understand that suddenly adding a new member of the team would be jarring, to say the least. On the other hand, it would be an excellent opportunity to parody the awkwardness inherent to someone joining a D&D game mid-campaign. Naruto handled the idea of "unwanted new teammate" well with Sai, and I'm sure there are plenty of ways it could be done.

Re: Another option for filling out the Order
I agree, I don't think the Order will ever officially "add a new member." The comic is really about the 6 members, and if one or more of them die, that's part of the story.
That being said, there's a good chance they'll travel with O-Chul and Lien for a little bit, just because they're already at Kraagor's Gate.

SpoilerI think if they found a way to rez Psteve, he could be a good replacement.
To be fair Psteve's appearance was short, but he does deserve another chance. His body wasn't entirely destroyed.

Re: Another option for filling out the Order
Well the awkwardness of bringing a new person into an established group is by no means exclusive to D&D. And actually I would much more expect him to bring a new character in as a joke (i.e. a one-strip appearance) than as a permanent addition.
That being said the Order doesn't have time to post something on MonsterManual.com (Cliffport's #1 job search site!) so I doubt we'll be going down this road.

I use the same name in every game I ever play or forum I join (except the pretender on PSN that forced me to be RealOlinser). If you see an Olinser in a game or on a website, there's a high chance it's me, feel free to shoot me a message.

We know Durkula will be getting his free will back and Belkar aint dead yet. (My own theory is he wont die until the end of the last comic.)
The order will be in one piece going into the last book/gate, yes D will be a vamp, but that's actually given him quite a power boost in the short term.

Re: Another option for filling out the Order

The joke is made, and he's not coming back.Orth Plays: Currently Baldur's Gate II

In which threads did people consider my responses to be readworthy? Why, a good question, here's an answer.

Re: Another option for filling out the Order
O-Chul would be a bad choice of healer. Too few paladin levels, not enough Charisma.
Great for dealing with the MitD, though.

Re: Another option for filling out the Order
I also think we will see a new character as a one-strip joke, and then durkon will rejoin the order as a free willed vampire.
I strongly suspect that the one-strip joke character will be the cameo for the guy who paid 5000 $ for the kickstarter. When the fundraising was launched, rich said that the came would take place within a year; we all know his schedule was pushed back by several factors, so now would probably be the right timing for it, and it would be the perfect place.In memory of Evisceratus: he dreamed of a better world, but he lacked the class levels to make the dream come true.

Re: Another option for filling out the Order
This comic needs more druids. That is all.
Spoiler
So the song runs on, with shift and change,
Through the years that have no name,
And the late notes soar to a higher range,
But the theme is still the same.
Man's battle-cry and the guns' reply
Blend in with the old, old rhyme
That was traced in the score of the strata marks
While millenniums winked like campfire sparks
Down the winds of unguessed time. -- 4th Stanza, The Bad Lands, Badger Clark
