Maybe UMD fooled the axe?

[misko27]

You know what? The only proof we have that he is a paladin is the axe. He hasn't smited anything, or used lay-on-hands. He must have taken an Alternate Class Feature.

He Used Lay-On-Hands to heal himself and get the rope out his throat, and earlier to heal the Leader whose name I can't recall so he could torture him.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Forgot about that.

He used lay-on-hands when he was suffocating. He hasn't declared smite though. Whether it's because he switched it out or because he never felt the need to use it is anyone's guess.

Pre-edit: Ninja'd. Though would you even be able to tell if he was smiting? It is a mental swift-action, it's not like the paladin is pointing at their opponent and shouting "I declare you as my smite target!". But then again, lay-on-hands doesn't have a verbal component, but Kore had shouted it out when he used it on himself.

Plus he used Holy Sword.

I like the Evil Good idea.  Sounds like a character in my DND group.  He keeps unrepentantly doing evil things to become more powerful so he can save the world, which is perfect for an evil adventurer, except he considers himself good (the ends justify the means).  Technically the character is chaotic neutral though. 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It can be problematic since my character is Exalted, but fortunately the DM accepts allows me to make a lot of compromises in the interests of party stability.  Heck, we had an exalted monk for a while who regularly tortured demons for entertainment.

Ironically we do have a straight-up evil character too, but he's a charismatic bard, so he easily covers up all his illicit dealings with my character none the wiser.  Our characters get along great, the arguments start when the neutral character kills evil hostages or claims destroying souls isn't *necessarily* an evil act, if done for the right reasons... We have fun, though.

I feel like his magic aura is a hint.  All those chained souls of possibly-good creatures.  Maybe he's like an Ur-Priest, and uses those souls to make even the gods think he's good.  All his talk about righteousness could be an act, or maybe he's fooled himself over time.

Maybe "Lay On Hands" is the command word for his magic Gauntlets of Cure Critical Wounds 5/day.

I don't remember the specifics but I recall the Rope Trick In The Throat incident was BS. Both because the player shouldn't have gotten away with it and Kore shouldn't have been able to survive and/or recover so easily. Although if you assume that people can get real creative with spell usage, the Rope Trick was viable but Kore's recovery still wasn't.

The DM Herbert thought it was a cool idea, so he let it happen, but he didn't want his Big Bad dying to something so puny, so he let him heal it.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Yeah that's what I got from it. At some point you just gotta relax and at the end of the day, do you still wanna play in this campaign / read this webcomic? In the case of Goblins, yeah I do.

[My Name is Immaterial]

That was actually funny. Xantalos! Mock it!

Conspiracy theoring: In the third to last panel, future Minmax's hand is gray, not orange.

[GiglameshDespair]

Forgath just got a diagonal cut over his left eye. For gods sake, Thunt.

[Xantalos]

Too tired to pun. Tomorrow.

[10ebbor10]

And well, Minmax has a timetravelling sword.

It's the wrong eye isn't it?

Also I just spotted that Thunt's tweet or something: "In every battle in Goblins, something always changes forever. Could be anything from a ripped shirt, to a scar, to the death of a character."

That's pretty deep.
