Re: OOTS #805 - The Discussion Thread
"Classically" maybe- but not true in 3rd ed. The character is considered unconscious.
Petrified
A petrified character has been turned to stone and is considered unconscious. If a petrified character cracks or breaks, but the broken pieces are joined with the body as he returns to flesh, he is unharmed. If the character’s petrified body is incomplete when it returns to flesh, the body is likewise incomplete and there is some amount of permanent hit point loss and/or debilitation.Marut-2 Avatar by Serpentine

Re: OOTS #805 - The Discussion Thread
Another question: can Durkon remove the "Energy Drains" effects on Elan ( so he can still maintain his level)?

Re: OOTS #805 - The Discussion Thread
Perhaps the flumps (or their equivalents..) are the DMs way to balance out non-flying characters ? xD

Re: OOTS #805 - The Discussion Thread
So does this count as fanservice? Cause I think the Giant just made lawyers into fanservice.

Some running gags run until they are at more of a limp, but I have to say that I like those tentacled pillows more and more every time I see them. :)

Re: OOTS #805 - The Discussion Thread
I really like how adding just one tiny additional line near Sabine's eye manages to successfully transform the typical stick-figure expression of alarm into a full-fledged freak-out at having a creepy sloth hanging on you.
I think sloths are pretty neat, but clearly Sabine finds sloths (particularly celestial ones) to be absolutely horrifying.2012 Kickstart Pledge Drive Backer# 12,851
Their: a possessive pronoun like “her” or “our”
There: refers to a place ("the Kobold is over THERE"), or to indicate the existence of something, or to mention something for the first time. ("THERE is a Halfling sneaking up on him")
They're: a contraction of “they are.”
Also: Your/You're, Its/It's, Then/Than.
And... I believe in you.

Re: OOTS #805 - The Discussion Thread
Well she said it was HANGING on her.
If I remember my Sloth nature documentaries right (and I may not be) they like to hang on to thick tree branches by sticking their claws in them. And if she has DR/Good she may think a Celestial Sloth trying to stick it's claws in whatever part of her it can grab won't be blocked by her DR."Besides, you know the saying: Kill one, and you are a murderer.

Durkon! Yes!
Lawyers! I knew there was going to be problem with Durkons' duration of stay.
"So, you have no legal troubles of any kind?"
"No"

Re: OOTS #805 - The Discussion Thread
Don't you mean ledgehanger? He's on a ledge, not a cliff
Hehehehe Tree Branches not on a tree tend to be called 'Sticks', and since everyone is a stick figure, Sabine is justified in thinking the Celestial Tree Sloth is going to get clawy and clingy... neither of which she wants.
BTW, for those who were commenting on length of absences, I believe Blackwing holds the record, but then I can understand how you guys can overlook him, everyone else seems to.
My guess is the potion is a potion of insight. Haley meant to drink it so she'd finally know what to shoot Sabine with... either that or it will be a potion of greater flight and she's going to be chasing Sabine around with a speed, maneuverability, and action bonus for once instead of the usual slower grounded disadvantage status she usually has against Sabine.

A celestial tree sloth has a +8 racial bonus on Climb and can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened.Last edited by Shoelessgdowar; 2011-09-16 at 02:55 PM.

Re: OOTS #805 - The Discussion Thread
I love the way the Celestial Tree Sloth looks as it's leaping into battle. One of the cutest things I've ever seen in this comic. Otherwise this comic is kinda meh IMO, but hopefully sets up some future epicness.
At this point I'm not at all sure there is an anti-Durkon. Nale wasn't expecting to encounter the OOTS, so he may just not have managed to recruit a divine spellcaster yet.

Nale: "Oh. This is just great. Now the dwarf's in the fight. Excuse me, sir? Yes you. Are you a religious person? What? You're an atheist? Well, that's sort of an opposite. Check this out, that Dwarf down there, he worships Thor, in a land that Thor isn't allowed to intervene in. And he called your momma a Lizard. Off you go.
Wait.
Can somebody explain how I found an atheist in a world where Gods intervene on a daily basis?"

Re: OOTS #805 - The Discussion Thread
He was referring to the guy who made up stats for this proposed species, not the illusion in comic. People did ask for some stats from people earlier for a <real> Celestial tree sloth.
He felt the movement speed was to high. But as long as it is slower than anything else on the field I think that would be good enough (please note, I have no knowledge of the D&D universe, I don't know if the 10ft per turn is fast or slow in comparison to all other classes/races).

Re: OOTS #805 - The Discussion Thread
Well Done!
However, shouldn't the Special Attack have something more slothful? e.g. instead of rending, simply have the sloth cling to the target. Clinging prevents any use of the limb clung to - thus spellcasters cannot employ a gesture using that hand and two-handed weapons cannot be used. The victim may attempt to shake the sloth off, but any attack on the sloth has a 50% of hitting the victim instead. The sloth still gets a normal attack and so may eventually wear down the victim.
Perhaps in OOTSverse, the varieties are the 1-toed sloth and the 2-toed sloth. In a world where humanoids have 3 digits, a 3-toed sloth would appear to be a polydactyl.

Gods like to see an atheist around.
Gives them something to aim at.
Terry Pratchett is actually an atheist. But even the Gods like him... most of the time""Jeez, this dress! i look like a dominatrix""
