[QUOTE=Galuf the Dwarf]Hey, Kayless, if you're reading this, you made a mistake w/ Lucia's profile here. She can't be a Bard (at least if she's going to continue leveling) if she's Lawful Evil. Besides, she struck me as a NE Bard (or possibly a Bard/Aristrocrat) anyways.

Also, the drawings of Remus & Teagan both appear to be out of proportion. Remus' is stretched out while Teagan's is squished up.[/QUOTE]
Eeep, you're right about the alignment. :o Fixed. ;)

Remus and Teagan look fine to me. :confused: Try clicking refresh.

Do the pictures look warped to anyone else?

P.S. On a related note, anyone know what Blinky should weigh? He's pretty small for a beholder (I think about four feet is the smallest they get) but I have no clue what he should weigh.

1) Excellent.

2) Refresh worked. Besides, I noticed you changed their poses a bit. Alot sharper & more personality, I see. :cool:

3) Hmmm... let me see... 3.5 Edition Monster Manual doesn't give a weight for a Beholder, or even one for a Gauth for that matter! :(

As a guess, I'd say Blinky should be 125 lbs.

BTW, does the Lich really have a name? :confused:

Yep, I tried to update the existing Cast pics where I could. Archdruid, Lepus, Ganelon, and maybe even Castor are next.

125 lbs. seems a bit light for a giant orb monster, doesn't it? Or do they weigh less because they float around? :cool:

I was going to call the lich Mikael Lichson but everyone on the DCI board just groaned and rolled their eyes. :o :D

Sounds good to me. Maybe a hair detail update for Durngrim as well?

Speaking of which, I have been making some minor progress on ol' Pimpdwarf. Just got to fill his skills and feats (3 left) above all else. Gave him a bunch of combat feats along w/ 2 'Skill Focus' feats (which you can guess what they are for. ;) ) For skills I'm also giving him 'Bluff,' 'Intimidate,' and 'Profession (Womanizer).'

I'm also giving him a +2 Adamantine chain shirt and a +4 Keen Dwarven Waraxe (w/ a bunch of combat feats dealing w/ it except for Improved Critical) as his general equipment.

Aw, heck, might as well, re-open the stat thread anyways, eh?

How about 200 lbs. then? I was thinking of his weight being in the 100s since he's about 4 feet in circumfrence.

Seeing as the traditional Beholder is almost the size of a grizzly bear (which weighs about as much as a pick-up truck, from what I hear), I was left to make my estimates from there.

How about a slightly less obvious referrence to ol' Chicken ala King, like Duke Thrihlor or some such?

Yeah, I'll probably get around to him too eventually.

If you're not too busy, sure re-open the thread. :) I was going to post there about a week or so ago when I discovered it had been closed. :o

How much does a 4x4 rock weigh? Now I'm not saying a beholder should weigh as much as a boulder, but even a living orb monster that is four feet around would be quite heavy. IMHO.

Maybe I should run a poll to get suggestions and comments on a name...

What can I say.
Sweet! :cool:

Good choice on the bad guys!
Perhaps the good and the bad will have to work together to fight the ugly!

Nice! :D

Now back to the waiting till next weekend thing. :(

That symbol... and a dracolich... were those folks from the Cult of the Dragon? :confused: :eek:

Yes indeed. ;) In fact the name of the ep is an excerpt from the cult's litany (not to mention the artifact they're after is dragon themed). Not a good day to be at sea, is it? :eek:

Well, at least I was on the mark w/ the whole idea of a dragon being involved, no? ;)

New isue is up!
I'm very curious who the new character is!

@Kayless: I think Ganelon is your favorite character to draw, he looks better every episode!
Hypno Khaggoth ordered me to vote every day, but I think this episode makes me do it out of my own free will!

Aha, excellent!

Is it wrong to feel much more empathetic towards Ganelon and crew than the main characters? ;)

Not if they enjoy female mud wrestling, no.

Yes, very interesting episode.

That ocean wave there also suggests something big coming up, perhaps a rival magician, dragon, or possibly a water elemental, if not just a regular-old large wave.

I am not currently in the possession of information regarding the issue, but if I am to generally judge the character of both groups, I'd quickly come to the conclusion the Shadow Pack are much more likely to enjoy the occasional female mud wrestling match.

Yes, considering that the opposite party may only have about 2 members that like it. ;)

If you go back a few episodes, you'll see that there's a certain amount of enjoyment from both camps on this specific issue. Try here, I think.

I see that I was correct on which men enjoyed it on the heroic side: Arudin & Castor. Khaggoth's just not too big on such forms of enticement (particularly since one of those very catfighting women is his half-sister), and Durnkrag is pretty-much celebate.

Durnkrag reacts too much against his father's influence: pity. You've read about the old dwarf's escapdes?
