Re: OOTS #1088 - The Discussion Thread
The internal tension suggests they're ALL free-willed. Not sure that was the best approach for Greg to take. It gives them agency to act on their own, sure, but it also can cause friction like this.

Re: OOTS #1088 - The Discussion Thread
Love the view of Durkon's family. A lot of really interesting people and it fleshes out Durkon to be something more than a grumpy healbot, a "support beam", in the HPOH's words.
Durkon is playing the same game he did with Miko back in Azure City -- while he will not lie he is a master of telling less than the full truth. In a way, his lawful upbringing is good practice for him. He can't lie to the vampire, but that's okay because he hasn't been able to lie his whole life. He's a master at misleading through omitted information, I think.
Respectfully,

Very likely.Logann was likely the one playing Smite Tha Tree with Durkon back when he was a child.

Durkon just keeps making me chuckle..something he hasn't done in a long time.

Re: OOTS #1088 - The Discussion Thread
Nonsense, two skill points per level is plenty to max out both Spellcraft and Concentration. Two skills substantially more important to most clerics in actual play than Knowledge: Religion.
Of course that leaves the Knowledge: Religion skill getting by on general knowledge checks.... But you can't have everything.

Yep. And that's the same mother. Good catch. (We are learning a lot about young darken and his family. These details add many layers of Rich's to the character's backstory.) See what I did there?
I retract the "wife" comment. As a disappointed mother frown it's perhaps even funnier.Spoiler: Avatar & Iron Chef AwardsAwesome Dragonfire Bard Avatar by Oneris. A detailed version is here.

Re: OOTS #1088 - The Discussion Thread
You're right until level 21, when clerics need maxed Knowledge: Religion if they want to play with epic spells. Then it becomes quite a bit more important than it was. I forget which spellcasting class had the hardest time, mechanically, getting epic spells online, but it was almost certainly either clerics or sorcerers.

Wow, I didn't know Durkon could snark that well.

Clearly Haley is the Gangster of Love.
The entire OotS is revealed as the Steve Miller band brought into a D&D world, which may in fact mean the Monster in the Darkness is actually the beast from Hotel California. Belkar stabbed it with his steely knives but couldn't scratch it ...This ... is my signature finishing move!

And my guess is that the little girl with the same skin color hovering around said family is the baby we first see in the same strip as Logann.

Re: OOTS #1088 - The Discussion Thread
But we know that Durkon doesn't have a high Intelligence score, since the mind flayer considered him to be a big bland bowl of Wisdom and nothing else.
In his case, it would make sense if he moved a few of his Concentration ranks into Knowledge: Religion on the assumption that being a dwarf could handle it, but never got a high rank.

Re: OOTS #1088 - The Discussion Thread
Yeah, it's either sorcerers or clerics, probably clerics in most cases.
Wizards cheat by having Int as both their spellcasting ability and their skill point generator.
Druids get 4 skill points per level, so maxing three skills is effortless.
Clerics and sorcerers each get 2 points per level and a spellcasting ability other than Int.
I believe that, as you said, clerics are more incentivized than sorcerers to dump Int.Even the wind will know agony.
