Order of the Stick

I don’t understand why Thog lost his anger (and dark green skin). Any insights?

Barbarian Rage only lasts for a certain number of rounds.

Dean · 2011-10-04T08:34:53.000Z

Hisbarbarian rage ran out. 3 rounds + Con bonus, then he becomes fatigued.

Dave_Markell · 2011-10-04T08:36:12.000Z

Ah, got it. Hulking out is a class ability. I knew it made sense somehow–Rich always has reasons for what he does.

AaronSofaer · 2011-10-04T08:42:02.000Z

That was awesome.

Pjerrot · 2011-10-04T10:17:51.000Z

That was great, and I don’t just mean the 4-page update.

What do you mean, then?

If you didn’t notice, the update used 4 “pages” of comics. They are all on one “web page,” but there are four of them.

Yeah, but he didn’t mean that, he hinted there was some other reason, and I was curious as to what that was.

That’s the best strip in a long, long time. And not because previous strips were bad. But this one was just that good.

Yeah, this. The quality has been excellent in this entire arc, but that was a beautifully earned victory. Ridiculous in exactly the right way.

<3 Rich Burlew :)

I see no x eyes. This is just a temporary setback for Thog supporters.

Jamie_Madigan · 2011-10-05T10:10:17.000Z

There’s no way he’d kill Thog off. He’s too popular.

I don’t think that would stop him, but this is not the way he’d go down. Thog’s there till the end of the Linear Guild at least.

So has Roy previously demonstrated cross-class skills in Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering) ala Belkar and Chef skills, or is this something new?

New (see: Rule of Funny).

New opdate: 809 - Except Maybe the Undead

To us it sounds like words.

Greatatlantic · 2011-10-10T11:34:31.000Z

Is “opdate” a typo, or one of those urban lingo phrases that only make sense on the internet?

Meanwhile, aren’t Nale and Elan still going at it?

“Lost in translation.”
