D&D Context[]
- Unholy Blight is a spell which deals damage to good and neutral characters and also sickens good creatures.
- Will saves represent your mental ability to resist magical effects, including sleep effects.
- Coup de grace attacks are made against helpless opponents, such as sleeping goblins. These attacks are automatically critical and also have a chance of instantly killing the opponent.
Trivia[]
- This is the first comic where evidence is provided that Belkar is evil.
- This is the first comic where a Goblin has cast a spell. It would remain that way until another Goblin Cleric cast Invisiblity Purge in Comic 90.
- In the web version of this page, Haley is drawn with 3 arms in the first panel.
