Maybe his power comes from doubt? It would explain why he isn’t joining the fight and simply stomping everybody. Santa Brett got physically hurt by disbelief once if I remember right
I know that in the Diablo 2 computer game, there is a Necromancer spell called Corpse Explosion. Pretty much what it says on the tin, and is a useful way to take down more enemies after you manage to down one or two nearby.
I had a home brew race called the Gack that were similar. The Gack were a small, kobold-like race with the addition of bat like wings. They were not very strong or smart or tough. If you set in to kill them they’d all die wholesale. Their name, Gack, came from the only sound they ever made, usually after taking a morning star to the chest. But if you bullied and messed with them, they’d self-destruct in creative ways. Theyd turn into a bag of acid that would burst when you picked it up. They’d explode, and all their bones became shrapnel.
Dragonlance D&D modules had effects that happened when someone killed a Draconian (Two legged lizard race). The least ones turned to acid, and affects gear and breathing damage. The next step up were less annoying since they just exploded shrapnel.

*gulp*
The nailboard returned to its new home i see.
Yeah, that is a bit odd, it definitely got ripped out a couple pages ago before the ogre dropped.
Brian, ending the series with a TPK would certainly be on brand…
There’s an old quote… “Never destroy the Earth, you never know when you might need it again.”
And I think it’s about time for Charlie’s shield spell.
Pulsating pink pustules: potent pulverizing putrescence AND a pimple-popper’s paradise. Beautifully icky, Mr. Patterson!
Poignant.
By the way, Clive’s “a seed of doubt” is almost certainly referencing Lee’s statement here: https://d20monkey.com/comic/a-patron-but-not-the-good-kind/

Ah, so Talbot is still alive. Necks of steel it is, heh.
Well, unless he just got exploded. 😮
Pretty sure insurance doesn’t cover exploding Ogres.
I think the real champion here is Carlos, stepping up to tell someone else that it’s going to be all right. That’s a huge leap for him.
Ogres with post-mortem draconian powers. Well, that’s unfortunate. Hopefully the other doesn’t turn into a pool of acid.
The old exploding ogre trick! Pretty sneaky, Brian.
Brian, watching this arc unfold…. so awesome
My man Carlos, keeping the party up!
Yikes. Is this a thing in gaming? Dead monsters explode just as you’re trying to go through their wallets?
Draconians on Dragon Lance. As I recall, the explode, turn to stone, turn to acid, or take the shape of the person who killed them.

They were the best monster for arrogant parties.

I should go read the Annotated Books books again
There’s one way to make sure nobody loots the body.
I wanted the loot
