Can someone please post the comic here? My school blocks giantitp.com as a games website.
I doubt Toady or the Giant would be happy with that.  Can't you just wait until you get home?  Or use a proxy?
Yeah it's true. And giantitp.com is a games website.

Depending on your school's competence level, a proxy could work.

Prismatic Spray is probably one of my favourite spells. It's awesome and fabulous.

...Doesn't really look like Tarquin is taking any acid damage, though, which is strange seeming as both of the others is clearly showing fire and electricity effects. Here's to Rich having misremembered the colours and he's actually supposed to be stricken by green, and the resulting 1d8 Constitution damage will save the day.

I hate all the prismatic spells. D:< They mess up my campaign bad. Especially Prismatic Wall, cast by an Initiate of the Seven Veils. Prismatic Spray is okay.

First of all, it's only 1d6, and secondly, I wouldn't put it past Tarquin to have something to give him insane SR.

Oh, right. Spell Resistable.

So much for me being extraoverly detail-munching in order to get a "I told you so!" in the future ;)

Weeell, maybe he has Evasion and made his Ref save. You could suggest that.

Tarquin isn't mad about the spell, he's mad because Elan came up with an idea, executed it, and then asked Roy what he should do next.

Well yeah. Nobody was saying he wasn't. The comic is pretty on the tin about it.

I'm kinda surprised Miron survived that. 80 points of damage isn't something you shrug off, plus the Fortitude save against death from massive damage. And it doesn't look like he made a Reflex save, either. Resist Energy/Protection from Energy?

Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.
I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Typically, if you can survive 50+ points of damage, you can make a DC 15 fortitude save with a very good reliability. Also, Tarquin's party is obviously fairly high level.

Well having 80+ hit points is really not unreasonable for their character levels. If he's got a D6 for hit dice, and has a +2 for con score (and con should never be a dump stat for anyone), then he would have at a minimum, 51 hit points, at a maximum, 120 by level 15. With an average of ~85.5.

I'm seriously guessing at this stuff though, I don't know what character class he is, or what level. Not sure if either has been explicitly stated yet, though I know the PC are at least level 13, probably more, and that these guys would probably be their level or close to it.

Imo Tarquin has been leaning towards wrong genre savvy. Note he expected Nale to work along with Malack instead of killing him.
