Srsly Roy, just get a bow. Fighters shoot bows good. Backup ranged attack. Plus some holy arrows or whatever.

Idk, Roy is probably pretty heavily feat invested into melee weapons, and swords in particular. He'd probably be terrible (relative to how he is with a sword) with a bow, and wouldn't be able to do appreciable damage. If he can get the GM universe to give him a ranged attack with the sword, that uses his swordman skillz (or is a straight up spell like ability and thus can be however powerful it needs to be without any real consideration) that's worth any amount of looking silly as he trains!

So in other words, we don't know how good or bad Roy actually is with a bow. We only know that he can at least hit the broad side of a barn with one.

Took me long enough to realise what his father said is probably an innuendo.
Just imagine Roy saying "Ranged attack!" as he did it.

At the very least he can hit at Fighter BAB, which is pretty good, plus whatever enchantment bonuses of the bow and the arrows, unless he has really bad dexterity giving him lots of penalties.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Alright, I'm calling it. Eugene is going to be the anti-Tarquin. Where Tarquin is the ultimate in compelling villainy, Eugene is going to be an exercise on being the most repulsive and inhumane person who is still Lawful Good.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure most of us forgot about what happened to V's relationship.

That is a fair point, but it's still pretty damn sad to think about. :(

Some people would say that was Miko, but I never thought she was that bad.  Just foolish at times.

This one didn't want to be who they was. On the Surface – it was a dull, unconsidered sadness. But everything changed. Which implied everything could change.

"At times" being the entirety of her character arc.

I'd like to see a spin-off comic about her adventures in the afterlife and her struggle to understand just how badly she fucked up as a paladin and a human being.  Defeat enough extra-planar threats, go through enough personal redemption to be able to earn a reunion with her lawful good horse.
