11/06/08 [Perfect Date #8] - There's a fish on your head.

nothing quite like a knuckle sandwich with ball-lightning seasoning.

FALCON PUNCH!

"Falcon Punch. Apply directly to the face."

I would just like to make an appeal to sanity and hope that this discussion turns to Merlitz and his dating and not into a quasi D&D discussion.

True.  In some ways it's probably good she's not seeing this  

In other ways, I've just been through the rant, and the idea of having a "Prominent 'Cubi Clans" arc is one I can only encourage.  But since she's not reading it, I'm not sure how to offer same to her  

[Lowde]

First of all, this way way to funny, I laughed until I started to cough...

Second...

If that's your taste, go with a monk-sorcerer. Then get some of the supplements that are designed for that combo. Then procede to kick serious behind.

Sure, the only problem is that if you multi-class the monk class, you can no longer get more levels in that class, so you would have to raise it until a good level and then multi-class

Too late...

"Falcon Punch. Apply directly to the face."

well, the application i had originally intended was an uppercut, then a flying volleyball spike, but i could never get it to look right..

Nah, I was referring to the "Falcon Punch" video. But I can see that the fellow in your picture is going for an uppercut now.

[Cogidubnus]

Even though the fish are green...

All I can think of is "Red snapper! Very tasty!".

[Rakala]

Don't eat the green ones. Not ripe yet.

Anyways, I didn't mean for it to turn into a D&D discussion, I was just making a comment. My bad.

[Slowtini]

He's a kitty, right?

Fishy eating cat.
Irony.

If NOT a kitty, Slowtini fails.

[terrycloth]

Where is Alyika? Obviously, Alyika is the one asking the question. She can't *fight* the fish, after all... ohnoz, 2/100 hearts! So much for Alyika/Merlitz action.

(And I'd guess Merlitz is having trouble 'cause the fish are highly resistant to fire from being so damp. Plus they probably stayed underwater until the final leap-attack.)

[Tapewolf]

If NOT a kitty, Slowtini fails.

Cheetah-tiger, if memory serves.  Whether that counts as 'kitty' depends on your point of view...

[Jairus]

Yep, kitty. BIG kitty, but he's a kitty nonetheless.

[Jer-oh-me]

I bawled with laughter upon seeing that, it was a nice way of showing that Merlitz hasn't dropped off the face of the earth as it were, just isn't up to answering questions about his dating practices. As to the D&D-like nature of probable conversation, well considering the D&D nature of the character that seems somewhat hard to avoid, right?

[senrath]

Hey, it's Surprise Fish!

(If anyone actually GETS this reference, you will get a 100 cookies freshly baked)

Does that mean Merlitz is catball?

(yes, this is what drove me to register)

[Zedd]

How come I get the feeling Merl in "What's eating Gilbert Grape?"

[Dagardo]

I would probably have been LMAO when I first saw this were I not so close to sleep from waking up when I saw it.

[Lucheek]

GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!

xDD

I'd love to see a Cubi Clan mini-arc as well, but don't overwork yourself Amber.

[Sunblink]

Best Perfect Date yet. Those little fish latched onto Merlitz's body are hilarious, and Merlitz's expression and dialogue in the first panel is even more so.

I love this mini-arc

[Brunhidden]

everyone is concentrating on the fish, nobody is upset tentacle rape failed to happen?


come to think of it his staff would make a good weapon against a flying fish, fishball

[DarkAudit]

Yeah, but even the quicker spells take SOME time to cast, which can be difficult in a full on grapple with three different sea creatures. The best idea is not to get into that position in the first place.

Howl of Terror FTW

or at least to buy some time to dot up your targets...

[Slacker Spice]

HEY! NIZE HAT! 

"That's it. Everything is going to go boom."

And he'd probably do it, too...

[Slipdance]

Fish. Head. Fish. Head. Roly-poly fish head. Fish. Head. Fish. Head. Eat them up, yum!

[superluser]

Fish. Head. Fish. Head. Roly-poly fish head. Fish. Head. Fish. Head. Eat them up, yum!

Take sufficient levels in monk, then in sorcerer, then take a prestige class. That's what I was referring to when I said 'supplement'.

*ahem*


NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERDS! 


...what?

Someone had to say it.

Monk/Sorc isn't that great. Remember, thou shalt not sacrifice caster levels. You could go straight Psychic Warrior or Duskblade though. Or even straight Wiz or Sorc and cast Transformation. I've seen a Nomad/Fighter/Slayer gish as well.

Or play Shadowrun, where the mage has a gun. Squeezing the trigger is faster then any spell.

[Azlan]

Stop with the D&D discussions, you all fail because 4E is out and you are all taking 3E.

Merl really needs a warrior companion, mages as soloists don't work in the adventuring area too well.  At least I don't think they would.


I really wish people would leave the cubi bandwagon... it broke down several miles back when the ego loads over taxed its drivetrain.

[Valynth]

I'm playing a campaign as a dwarf warrior and I have less AC than the mage, so I'm getting a kick out of this.

I had 17, he had 19.

Yes, yes... my cleric is a better tank than our paladin, I just wish I still got to use shields as a class feature.  Arrgh, now just stop it... this is not the D&D thread.

[Dagardo]

A warrior companion would certainly help him out in spots like the one he's in, but I don't think Aliyka quite cuts it so he probably shouldn't ask her. Although if he was to do the battle mage gig he may find himself in much less trouble since battle mages are (supposed) to be proficient in both the ways of melee and magic. I won't comment on the D&D thing since I've never played it.

[Howl]

Well, for the discussion of the comic, it's okay. But for the D&D class discussion...



Okay, I admit it, I've just been dying to use that one.
