Just a year? No wonder everyone always wanted to play elves.
Also I found the text for 5th Edition
“Until the spell ends, the target’s speed is doubled, it gains +2 AC, it has advantage to Dexterity saving throws, and it gains an additional action each turn. That action can using be used to take the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide and Use an Object action.
When the spell ends, the target can’t move or take actions until after its next turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over it.”
One other hitch though in this is that the caster needs to concentrate on the spell to keep it going for the duration (up to one minute) or it ends once they stop concentrating.
They did and I was trying to make a silly observation, but now I can’t find an example either. I don’t recall it being used outside of Ch 13, (http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-13-page-13/ specifically) and I can’t really go through the entire comic while at work.
How about a bucket of protein and sugar as well. The energy for all that swiftness has to come from somewhere. The poor guy’s gonna starve himself in minutes.
He’s got an INSANE Agility roll modifier when aboard mechanical contraptions, plus in the range of very high leadership modifiers. He can be where he needs to be, at any point in time, and sometimes in 3 places at once, just because!

A team of adventurers doing something without considering the consequences and then having to scramble to deal with the mess that results? Nah, that *never* happens. :D
Potion of Fwitneff saves the day again!!
Is it just me or is it really broken in this game?
Haste is broken in most D&D inspired games. Anything that gives you more actions in a turn based game is going to get abused.
It aged you like a year in original D&D. Meaning it was powerful but had massive downsides if you kept abusing it.

So does that mean no more boots of permanent haste?
I believe that in 5th edition, after Haste ends you lose a turn as you essentially hit a wall of lethargy and need to reorient yourself.
Just like it did with that mortar knocking your house off the cliffside in Overlook.
Looking closer, it’s actually a Potion of Swiftness. Which actually disappointed me when I did a double take :c
I think they actually wrote it with the Olde English S’s that look like F’s earlier in the comic, but I can’t find a link to prove it. :x

Linky support for “Potion of Fwiftneff” joke:
http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-2-page-12/
Not as bad as me, I somehow read it as “Potion of Shitness” on first reading.
…Which would be redundant to use on a Shit Elf…
Wait… has the image changed or do a lot of people not know what S’s look like?
It’s probably a little bit of both, to be honest.

Auraugu simply fuels himself on HAPPY THOUGHTS.
No promises it will work in the long term though.
The potion of swiftness is literally just a syringe full of skittles.
Heresy. It’s just enough water to turn pixie sticks into a fluid.
And here I was thinking it was condensed liquid frosting with a shot of Powerthirst.
Well that didn’t work. Damned html.

He subsists on the cheers of the fuzzy people. Once the people see he has returned, he will be renewed. ;-)
There is often nothing better than imminent death to teach teamwork.
Everything is awesome when you’re part of a team.
It’s that awkward moment when you realize that they mere presence of the whole group together is the direct cause of the imminent death.
Later, Auraugu will sue Syr’Nj over not obtaining his consent for a medical procedure.
(No, I don’t imagine any region in Arkerra has Good Samaritan laws.)
Or that he won’t be able to compete professionally because of suspected doping.
He might lose the Championship of the Fuzzy Peoples, oh noez!
Props to Goblaurence for getting back to the steering wheel.

Coming soon : an angry Harky asking “Alright, so who parked a live volcano in the middle of my city ?”
‘allo ‘allo ‘allo, what’s all this then? You realize you’ve got yer volcano illegally parked in a no smoking zone!?
There he goes, there goes Speed Racer, he’s the fastest on wheels…er….pedals…..I mean….balloons…… Oh the hell with it.
And that was the day that Syr’Nj learned that in balloons, unlike airplanes, greater speed does not generate lift.
They don’t need to go over the cliff, just around it. Anything other than into it.

Harsh, but fair. :)
