While I'll let someone else post the pages in between, since we last left our heroes fighting an evil changeling wizard or inside a burning orphanarium fighting zombie children, they've been thrown in a river, and then picked up the changeling's trail. The fiendish villain is carrying an artifact of ill repute and vast power, and has taken refuge in a traveling caravan.

As Fell's Five catches up, they find the caravan under attack by Orcs! They break up the initial attack, and force the Orcs to momentarily pull back.

Now, to bring the travelers up to speed, in the most polite and sensitive terms possible.










Gruhn obviously compares notes with Killer Croc.

Anyone else want to post scans from earlier in the issue?

Orcs aren't player races and are always CE/NE.

If he was a Halforc, it'd be doable.

Nonsense. Surely you aren't implying that what should be a base race was hosed in stats and designated as 'evil' for no reason other than that fantasy racism is cool. Orcs are perfectly serviceable player races.

...*whips out House-Rules Orc mod* When in doubt, appeal to Rule Zero.

I do like that from what we see in the rest of this issue the orcs are at least fleshed out a little beyond RAWR EVUL. It was quite refreshing.

Orcs are player races- have been since 3rd Edition.

How 'evil' Orcs are depends on the world and their god and GM whim. Not all Orcs are 'x' alignment even in Forgotten Realms. In Eberrron they are positively role models for the world having saved it twice...

They where in the character creator from its launch and full stats for them as PC was in the Monster Manual.

Half Orcs had a full write up in Player Manual II.

Eh a rock is just a large sized club. Sure you'd have a -8 on it but he's got a few Fighter levels so he shouldn't be too bad off fighting with a rock.

Be kind of cool to specialize in rock-fighting, really - just about anywhere you went, there'd be a weapon for you to use.

Not really sure how you can specialize in "rock" other than "using big muscles to pick it up and put it down on someone's head". o_o

Get used to a heavy bludgeoning instrument with no leverage and irregular handholds. Heavy means you'll be taking the recovering times into extent more, when to swing really hard and when less so, and so on.

Practice helps *everything*.

Date: 2011-01-10 09:28 am (UTC)
From: [personal profile] psychopathicus_rex
No, that's specializing in 'boulder'. Specializing in 'rock' could mean anything from that, to throwing a handful of pebbles at someone to disable them, to smashing someone across the face with a rock held in your fist, to... well, any number of things in between.

From: [personal profile] feyandstrange
I think in that case "rock" would have to be more like a weapons class, with "thrown pebble", "one-handed rock" and "two-handed big boulder" being specializations. And then there's sharpened rocks!

Also, dwarves get a racial plus to making rock weapons.

Date: 2011-01-10 11:50 am (UTC)
From: [personal profile] psychopathicus_rex
Clearly, then, this guy has at least two specializations.

Halflings have a racial favorite weapon for thrown weapons- dart, slings, and yes, rocks.

Not gonna lie, "It's my wife! She is newly affectionate!" made me laugh out loud. Some of this dialogue has such a Whedon feel to it I expect someone green and horned to be doing the Dance of Shame on any given panel.

This is actually quite quirky!

...you know, you can't argue that one.

Isn't that how most D&D quests go? Before they come to the solution, they usually end up making things worse than what's current? =)
