        So it’s stronger than ‘Enchanted Bunny’?

        Play it while you have either a Dragon Gate, Quicksilver Amulet or Aether Vial on the field, that way you can still summon creatures! :D They don’t count as spells so the Enchantment doesn’t affect it. x3 I did that once to counter a (can only cast one spell/first spell is always countered) combo someone pulled against me, I was just lucky that I had that on the field. x3

    Anyone who thinks carrying your sword on your back should try drawing one out of its scabbard on said back…

        Depends on the length and shape of the sword. Works great with an Arkansas Toothpick, although that’s generally considered a knife.

          Also depends on the scabbard: if you look at most of the effective RL versions, they are either made with very soft/supple leather, or no ‘scabbard’ at all, just a hoop at the top and bottom

        The people who did it conventionally had this slit along one end of the scabbard that let them slide the sword our in a smooth half-circle motion as opposed to trying to pull it out straight up. :3

          Generally speaking, nobody did it “conventionally”. It’s a modern fantasy.

            Same as Knights in Shining Armour and the completely Mythical (not to mention madeup) “Golden Age of Chivilry”

            Greatswords were a real thing, historically. How were they actually carried when not in combat — which is to say, most of the time?

              Woodcuts show them being carried bare resting on the shoulder. We have no evidence for them being carried on the back, or for that matter, having scabbards at all. (Not to mention greatswords, a term which I assume you are using in the modern sense, would be the most difficult to actually pull from a scabbard, back or otherwise.)

      Swords have scabbards? I thought they just magically stuck to your back (or hovered a few inches from it).

    Loving how Rachel is running to E`Mo’s aid (but why is she carrying her Ruler in the crook of her elbow instead of safely in her hand/belt?)

    Took 2nd or 3rd read to notice Bandit and Fringe sneaking behind Bunny Boy :D

      I think the Ruler is swinging from her belt. Er. Chord. Whatever they call it in her habit.

    Frigg vs. Bragg. Two of the physically strongest characters, if not THE strongest, in the comic are about to clash. I am quite excited to see how they handle this.

    On another note, I think most of Fightopia will be more or less okay with Sundar’s kidnapping dealings. They formed Fightopia because being an adventurer or soldier in Gastonia sucks, after all, so Sundar being desperate enough to sell info to kidnappers is the proverbial proof in the pudding.

        Yes, but wouldn’t Brag have a +2 to being hit, and a -2 to evade in enclosed spaces?
        Seems to put him at a disadvantage to Frigg who wouldn’t suffer penalties from ENORMOUS girth!

          Bragg dumped his Dexterity in favor of high Constitution, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was using some kind of feat or talent that gives him benefits for taking damage.

      I think he used them in the Chess Fight. But then shoulder axes are a bit hard to utilize. Mostly just useful for barging into people.
