Mr Scruffy is a normal, non-magical, non-sapient cat.

But Mr Scurffy was the secret power behind the throne of Azure City for god knows how many years though

Colombia  football match with Japan wasn't transmitted here by any public channels, even the sports one didn't. I wonder if its a result of the Colombians electing someone else instead of yet another comunistoid/socialist jerk.

Wrong thread?

Wrong Topic?

I fail to see how Baal's post does not directly correlate with this thread.

Are you all feeling okay?

I hate how the Azure City being overrun by goblins means that they won't be hosting sportsball and it's in the Empire of Blood instead.

Maaaybe?  He has atrocious Wisdom for a ranger, being unable to cast spells (even from a scroll, heh) which I think means 9 or less.  He could have a lot of points in Listen, but the third strip implies otherwise.  Loooong time ago, just thought it was funny.

Huh, hobbits halfings do get a +2 on Listen checks though, you're right.

C'mon, Belkar having poor hearing is a subject of recurring jokes.
Like when he brought Roy to a cart of gophers when asked to track down a cartographer.

I could have put that one down to Belkar not knowing what a cartographer was.

Or, by far the most likely, he was feigning misunderstanding in order to be a more perfect asshole.

[Murphy]

Perhaps. There's more than one way to fail a Listen check, as the title says.

I definitely felt there was a pattern with Belkar not hearing or improperly hearing things but they don't necessarily mean he is hard of hearing, just that he might not know what certain words mean, like in his line "You're a homophone!" And then there's the time when he gets deafened.

[Reelya]

Yeah, I don't think the point of strip #3 was that Belkar is bad at listening and seeing things. The strip was deconstructing the underlying concept of skill checks, by making Belkar fail some rolls, and therefore be unable to see or hear things that are right next to him.

After all, all three present party members failed to see the goblins, not just Belkar. So all of them failed some sort of checks.

Well, this feels dramatic.

Durkon just keeps giving Helga more reasons for bloody revenge.

I wonder if handing your baby off to a vampire is considered "against your nature" which would have given Hilgya a new saving throw with a +2 bonus.

Durkon just keeps giving Helga more reasons for bloody revenge.

That depends on whether or not she's aware that vampire and original are two separate souls/identities. It's a DC20-25 Knowledge(Religion) check apparently, and literally only one random cleric ever passed that check. Perhaps Hilgya is intelligent/knowledgeable enough to figure that out, and the Order probably told her anyway.

Yeah, you'd think the fact that she hates undead would have given her a bonus here.

Too bad this edition charm and domination spells have ridiculously long durations that don't require concentration or even for the caster to stay alive.
