In most D&D games that I’ve known, “silvered” weapons essentially count as “magical” weapons for the purposes of mechanical damage resistances. Lore-wise, silver weapons work against more than simply werewolves.
in 3.5 and pathfinder, silver is an alchemical, mundane, process. not magical. but then Brian doesn’t reveal too many of the intended mechanics or system info so that he can tell more badass stories in the comic 🙂
Silver weapons are essentially a +1 base and “due to their metallic purity” (according to one DM) are able to break through the DR or the 50/50 shot of not hitting incorporeal beings. Ironically this has been one of the only points all the DM’s I’ve paid under have agreed on.
I have never heard of nor read that in any tabletop game book. I mean, I personally like it, but I’ve never heard of it. My “necromancer”(Rogue/Witch) in our current Pathfinder game carries a silver light mace, it doubles as a lesser metamagic rod of Ectoplasm, so such rules would be very good for her. Although, she can also just do what she did to the last wraith she came across and sneak attack it with cure light wounds.
His club just went right through the chest where the coin is (and thus the coin too).
Center Mass is the usualy point of attack, that would even apply to non-humanoid enemies.
That means that the coin is either a part of the appereance of the Coin wraith (and thus as material as itself) or at least protected by the Ghost Form as well.
Or he went just above or below the coin. If I was running this, I’d rule that you only hit the coin if you roll a crit, or if you specifically swing for it (which would also give it +8 AC for a “fine” sized target”).
you know, I enjoy a lot of webcomics. But there’s something about d20 that’s like when I was a little kid going to the bookseller’s with that real kind of anticipation/hope that the next issue is on the rack. I like the other webcomics but only get that feeling here.

HOVER-TEXT: SWING BATTER, BATTER!
See, this is why you always bring a necromancer with you. You never know when you might need to turn some undead into minions.
Isn’t that what the cleric is for? Necromancers make undead, clerics make undead their bitches.
STRIKE ONE!
What part of non silvered weapons do they not remember?
I can’t wait to see the bad assery that Carlos comes up with next.
Silver works against Werewolves.
This is not a Werewolf, but a Ghost/undead like creature.
And what they propably run against is the ability to ignore physical attacks from 50-100%.

Hit the coin! Maybe? Seems like a logical weak point, but maybe too obvious.

There is no joy in Mudville
I forsee…pain. Much pain for the swinger of the club.
Wood + metal nubs + wraith = Wiff!
Let me guess, Berg has never fought a wraith before?
Its Armor Class 20s more or less.
That would not be enough on any decent level and Kathrun is a bit more high level/high powered.
However having a imaterial Ghost form means it can ignore 50-100% of all material attacks.
One must ask themselves when seeing this enemy, “Who left the travelers coin on the wrong (or right) side?”
*Morgan Freeman Voice* It was that moment that Berg knew…he just fucked up.
If violence doesn’t solve the problem, your not using enough.
SHELAYLEI!
+1 for the quote. Yes, we see what you did there. (surprised no one else complimented you on it)
