He done dropped his butt and run.
Changing the names for flavor is a great idea actually. I like it.
good example of that is from Critical Role where Calib uses a spell calls Cats Ire which is a rework of Bigby’s hand shaped like a Cats paw
I reworked and renamed Web after my character who has a ridiculously huge pompadour to Vincent’s Voluminous Pompadour to give the restrained enemies pompadours.
My Cleric likes to rename sonic attacks performed with her guitar. “Thunderwave” becomes “Power Chord”, “Shatter” becomes “Master Exploder” etc.
Is “Call Lighting” renamed to “Thunderstruck”
Sure… now that us going to be stuck in my head. Na na na naaa nana naaa
uh OBVIOUSLY (once she learns it)
Colour Spray becomes “Taste the Rainbow”
Changing the names of skills and spells to fit the character was suggested in the original 3rd edition D&D player’s handbook… it just never took with the community. It definitely adds great flavor, though, as you said.
How much you want to bet that he’s leading them directly to where his boss wants them? 😉
Now I’m curious about Karthun’s version of Tae Bo.
Top panel… the cliffside looks like a dwarf. Is that intentional (is it a statue)? Is Tiberius running into the dwarven city? Or is it just an easter egg?
Isn’t this the world where dwarves are clean shaven?
It is the ruins of Honor’s Hold.
Before the destruction of the Emerald Throne, the dwarves of Karthun were very much what we know from classic fantasy. In the current age, the tyrannical Underlords wear bald heads and long, nasty beards. The Sunwalker dwarves, freed from the rule of the Underlords, now keep their faces clean shaven and typically grow their hair long to set a visual contrast to their former oppressors.
Naming generic spells is flavourful, no two cents about it – love doing it if I’m allowed to play spellcaster. Not to mention the rhymes that goes with the casting! (Caution! Can lead to other players threatening to… get creative with the snacktray… “smacktray”.) For disappearing in a flash and a puff of smoke (Magica de Spell-style): “Lightning and thunder – hide my blunder!”
How many think that Carlos was trying to give Brett an out with that explanation? Give him a chance to have a good reason why they wouldn’t catch and interrogate Tiberius let Brett sort of get the story back where he planned? Sounds like the sort of helpful thing Carlos would do.
The Famous Feet Don’t Fail Me Now Boots.
Wrote that before I slapped my forehead and thought of “Rincewind Boots.”
Activated by the notable incantation “stercus, stercus, stercus, moriturus sumâ€.
