I do not get this comic at all…
In DnD, there are many ways of approaching character creation. You can make a serious character with a deep background which influences the story and play style... Or you can completely ignore all that and just make a goofy little guy. You will usually get some mixture of both in most DnD groups.
So the first two characters are discussing their serious background and their motivations and then the other two are just like "I am a fancy lil frog nobel." and "I'm a farmer!"
I play a ton of DnD and pathfinder. I just didn’t get the comic. Especially about the stillborn child, which wouldn’t be stillborn if it was saved. And the final two panels didn’t make sense to me at all so thanks for explaining that. I didn’t get 3 of the 4 panels.
How are you struggling with the saved stillborn logic?
Her kid was born dead.
Then it was given life by her god.
That’s not a “saved stillborn”. That’s necromancy. Their God brought something dead back to life. I wouldn’t call that “saved” in any DnD or Pathfinder campaign
Yeah I'm really not getting what people don't understand about the divine intervention here.
Dead baby -> Pls help, my actually existing god -> Live baby -> The debt must be paid
Hopefully this clears things up for the confused
