Tales From the Tables ep.40: Devil's Due, part 4.
Hear ye, hear ye! Tales From the Tables is back with episode 40: **Devil's Due, part 4! ** Our intrepid misadventurers face off against the devil Alexander and his numerous summoned minions... will they prevail? 😱
Damn, that looks like it hurts a lot.
Awesome as usual, and bonus points for the bad guy's sucker punch attack actually hitting a main weak point in plate mail.
I also like that Angela throws a hand axe. I've seen a lot of people with melee focused martial characters hauling around multiple javelins as a backup ranged weapon because they do slightly more damage. When they announce in the middle of a fight that they're throwing one or even several in a single turn I always think, "Just where were you carrying those multiple long hafted spears while fighting with both hands this whole time?" Mechanically a high strength character can handle the weight but those things aren't exactly throwing knives you can conveniently slip a half dozen of into your belt or strap to your thighs or arms. A nice tomahawk or two, on the other hand, you can have tucked until your belt.
Always gotta love when the villains fight smart and dirty
Yes! 😆
Wait... 😟
Nooo! 😭
Wow your art is getting so good, paper comic when?
Why are spell slots a thing lore wise?
Short answer: read Jack Vance's 'tales of a dying earth'. It's the reason dnd magic is called 'vancian'.
Longer answer: in that series, magic works by just remembering words, and then saying them. But these magic words are powerful things, weighty in the mind, hard to carry. And, when said, they tear themselves out of your mind, causing you to forget them.
So, not 'spell slots' per se, but the idea is you're prepping spells almost as a 'potion', something you carry in your mind, and consume to cast out a spell.
@BedbugCutlefish @therealjcdenton ... So... Any spellcaster not based on "learning" spells (all charisma spellcasters) should not have spell slots. And cantrips should not be a thing too :thonking:
