Or he could simply be rolling well on the will rolls. This is still DnD afterall.

Not mutually exclusive - that strip pretty much implies Roy has a good Will unlike most of everyone else in the party.

Also: 'snapoutta' has to be the most unsound effect ever written.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

So the prophecy says he will bring death and destruction to us all, techniqally he brought it but it never said it will happen.

...Has anyone ever considered the idea that the Oracle was a lying sack of crap? Just a thought I had.

I assume he/she/it depends on word of mouth to some extent, so has an incentive not to lie.
But I could see making an exception in this case.

The Oracle is also really, really vague. Or can be anyway.

His Will still needs to come out of the Fighter table. His high Int score doesn't help Will at all, I think, so maybe he has a high Wis but I don't think that has been brought up. (there's also feats for that of course, who knows)

Word Of God states that the Mind Flayer seeing Roy's brain as tastier than V's was that V has 18 Int and low WIS while Roy has high (but >18) INT and high WIS. Over on the GITP forums, the worked out that the vampire Durkon has a 50% chance of affecting Roy with Domination IF all of the unknown variables (just how bad WAS Durkon charisma, does Roy get a +2 circumstance bonus, etc.) line up in his favor.

The prophecy of Durkon coming back to bring death and destruction on the dwarves wasn't FROM the Oracle, it was from the dwarven High Priest of Odin. And anything the Oracle says in the green and white text balloons is true.

Or they might be straight up rolling for their stats instead of using point buy, in which case Roy could have good or average everything.

EDIT: You know, I wonder if Roy gets a circumstance bonus to saving throws because Durkula dropped the accent all of a sudden.
