So. Ehr. Does Baneful Polymorph have a time limit?
Its permanent. The spell description doesn't actually cover how you would go about dispelling it, but the consensus *seems* to be that you can use dispel magic. It would take a couple of casts for Var to beat the casters level, but s/he should be able to do it eventually.

Because the solution to not being able to control your dakka is MOAR DAKKA.

That's it. We've finally crossed over and become the nation of Da Orky Boyz.

What's a Chaos Sabre supposed to do, anyway?
I think it's the counterpart of good/evil, axiomatic/chaotic.

Yup, exactly. As it's permanent duration, the spell effect is ongoing, making it vulnerable to dispel magic, antimagic field, and the like.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Meaning...a bonus to hit/damage for Chaotic-aligned wielders and a penalty to Lawful-aligned defenders? I saw those things [Chaos as a prefix as an enchantment] somewhere..Incursion RL I think?
Tarquin is Lawful Evil
[GOOD_FATHER_FIGURE] is Chaotic Good.

Anarchic weapons bypass damage reduction -/chaos, deal 2d6 extra damage to lawfuls, and bestow a constant negative level to a lawful who wields it.


And if I recall, Julio gave Elan a +3 Keen rapier, which should imply that the weapon Julio is even better.

That was unusually punctual. It wasn't up just a few minutes ago when I started reading through some old strips.

Also, story trope flaunting ahead.

Yeah, it really depends what I'm doing. If I'm bored with nothing to do, I tend to check the giantitp site more frequently.

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.

It technically always was about him.

*Distraction, ahoy!*

...What is the range between Julio and Laurin?

It amuses me that the theory, "Laurin was a member of the Julio fan club", turned out to be true, and then turns out to not matter.

The second page of the latest update is... awesome.  I can't think of a better superlative, but I probably don't need one.
Edit: oh, and the sky is now noticeably darker.  Relevant?
