Post by: Grenn on December 07, 2006, 10:13:29 PM
Uh oh. Looks like Wildy is mad.... after all, she did tell Biggs to stay out of Lost Lake because it is her territory :)

I forsee a +10 attack boost from Wildy's normal....

In a different context, Mab's expression would be downright unnerving.

You know, hacking through the door and being all "Heeeeeere's MABBY!"

But that wouldn't be Mab.  As it is... I actually foresee another anticlimax.

Anyway... Wildy should've taken the voulge with her. It would've been handy for doing unspeakable things. Especially for dealing with Destania if she gets in the way.

Destania knows better than to get in Wildy's way, I think. She seems far too smart to interfere with a little sibling discussion.

It's actually proficiency, and no one other than the fighter types can use those.  Class skill is for the abilities that you use outside of battle, or for certain special attacks to set up the enemy or avoid damage.

1.) That doesn't seem like Mab's usual self
2.) The gooney grin makes her look weird
3.) I *like* this new Psycho-Mab and attendant Psycho-Mab model

More, please!

I want to see what Wildy says to Destania.

Because Wildy is not old enough to remember Destania's maiden name, but is old enough to remember her.

Will we finally find out what her married name is?

Well, I'm not sure about the smoke, but there is the odd configuration of her antennae, facing in opposite directions... maybe that's madness? (Where, someone has speculated and I'm tempted to agree, touched together and forming a circuit means ebil, etc.)

Why does the sign say "exit"? Typically if you're facing a doorway leading into an area, it would say "entrance" as it is relative to the person walking into an area.

Maybe it's a one-way thing.  Biggs may or may not have a lot of people to see; they can't be all bumping into each other through silly inefficient two-way doors.

Well, maybe it's to specify that the other door is the entrance, and that one is the wrong way.

Now, why is the sign shaped like a trapezoid?

I would think that Wildy came into the exit instead of the entrance to get the jump on her brother in a classic "Big-huge-menacing-person-with-glowing-eyes-behind-a-teeny-person-with-a-sweatdrop-on-their-head" anime move.   :mowtongue

I just LOVE the looks on hers and Mab's faces.  This comic is a +10 in coolness.  Level up!   :U

I wonder if it isn't a reference to this phenomenon (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/12/06).

You know, where you do epic battle with a flan, and the flan runs away, and suddenly you get 500 gil and 12 potions from...where, exactly?

Not entirely true.  Anyone can use any weapon just not very well.  Many times I have had thieves dress as warriors to not standout in a large battle.  Watch your back.  A battle axe works even better than a dagger in the back when you can get surprise.

Actually, I'd say it's not a knit-pick, but simply a lack of knowledge of art.  Most drawings are done using something called "perspective".  When you draw lines that are part of a wall, building, door, window, etc, you draw them so that they are are pointing towards a single point.  This gives the illusion of distance.  Good on Amber for using it here.

See thats one thing I liked about the fallout rpgs  there were no Item drops If you want to get loot you actualy have to take it off the corpses, and you'll only find stuff there that makes sense.  If your attacked by slavers you'll only find the sorts of items on them that they use,  Pistols, shotguns, knives, clubs, cattle prods, drugs, water bottles, rope, nuke cola, and the like.

you don't find some one carrying items they don't use,  which can be a real pain when the enemies break out the heavy artilery

Post by: Psaakyrn on December 08, 2006, 12:30:01 AM
Also, it can't be a WoW reference as far as I know, WoW has fixed items, as opposed to normal items with +2 stuff. The only instances I can think of is DnD-based games or Diablo..

For why the sign shows Exit instead of Entrance: so people will use the entrance instead of the exit to go in. Else you'd have a door with no signage at all.. and people will end up using it anyway because it's convenient.

For why the Exit word is weirdly tilted, it's probably the exit-sign maker's lack of artistic sense, or someone really messed up when painting those words.

The smoke is probably to show Wildy's expertise in property destruction (since they're probably walking away from Bigg's building now, and the wall seems right, I'd say that it's Bigg's place which is burning.. which is rather fast work for property destruction..)

Waiting for Dee to appear and comment about Pyroduck..

Sorry that wasn't intended to speak against drops,  I ment to say random drops, I was replying to Mock AV and Superlusers comment on charactors droping equipment they don't or can't use.

Inn fallout if you kill an animal you won't find money or Items just parts of the creature you can sell or use.  Sentiant ceatures carry items that are apropriate for there type,  and they will use everything they have.  Also I'm not sure they would count as drops  since there invintory is set.  I mean if the fight takes to long they can actualy run out of ammo, stim packs and the like which means less loot for you in the end

Now, clearly.....

Mab may be able to pick up that weapon, but it is clearly a Partisan class weapon. Mab's unable to use it due to Force class restrictions.

Now, if it was a giant two handed scythe, this would be another question entirely.

Yes, I'm a PSO geek. Sue me.

Whats more scary? A GM asking you to roll initiative vs a gargantuan black dragon, or a GM asking to roll initiative when your face to face with a gargantuan pinapple?

Well, apparently the Twink Territories don't do with the 'Painted on equipment' rule in most RPGs then. :D
going going lost! you have lost E's mind you win a cookie! :mowcookie

RPG Rule of Painted on Equipment:
No matter what you are fighting, be it a soldier with semi-automatic weapons or a knight in a full plate more wonderful than you'll be able to buy at the end of the game, all of it shall disappear together with the enemy once he's been defeated.

If it is then Mabs will have all of us rolling on the floor with laughter. That look Mab's have on her face when she had the weapon in hand was ready to Med- Evil on somebody's butt. That stare is so priceless that Psycho-Mabs is ready to burn the Twinks Territory down to the ground  :giggle :giggle.

Sorry that wasn't intended to speak against drops,  I ment to say random drops, I was replying to Mock AV and Superlusers comment on charactors droping equipment they don't or can't use.

Inn fallout if you kill an animal you won't find money or Items just parts of the creature you can sell or use.  Sentiant ceatures carry items that are apropriate for there type,  and they will use everything they have.  Also I'm not sure they would count as drops  since there invintory is set.  I mean if the fight takes to long they can actualy run out of ammo, stim packs and the like which means less loot for you in the end

It made Fallout really munchkin, because pretty much any dangerous enemy was going to give you tons of expensive equipment to sell or use. Even if you didn't *try* to scum for cash, the only limit on your wealth, even very early on in the game, was the total amount of money all the merchants you could find had.

That's *why* most games use the 'rule of painted on equipment'. :mowtongue

Yanno... no one knows the full extent of Mab's abilites.  Not to mention she may even just give that glaive to Dan.  All in all I find it funny how Alexsi was the only one who was somewhat stunned at the weapon's apearence and possiably the fact that the rescue party didn't include Dan.

Now Mabs isn't evil... she's just being Mab, the bubbly, happy gal who is smarter than everyone thinks and more powerful than she wants to put on.

Hey! I liked Fallout!

But don't forget the lessons learned from Resident Evil 4; even the crows have money. And grenades. And you can't jump over the fences, or go through the forest. But you can go through the backdoor in this case, it seems.

I would, and then some serious kissing and hugging...

And it looks like Wildy is kicking ass and having fun, maybe she can get some of her anger out about the book and Abel...

Maybe It is just me, but Mab have been getting a little bloodthirsty, or adventure crazy lately... She "led" the rescue of Dan and now Alexsi.  You know she may just get the idea that she can lead her own adventure party...maybe with just girls...

It makes most sense that Wildy is causing it - look that the wall the "Exit" door is in.  They're walking away from it, back towards Lost Lake, in the third panel....

At first I thought Mab's brain broke - The smoke is reeaally close, the antenna are funny, and she pulls a random item out of thin air with a funny face and comment.

The thing to wonder about is why the goblin who's carrying a +1 Mithril Shirt, doesn't use it.
Because the DM rolled treasure after the battle, instead of thinking out the encounter.
