Well, Haley no longer has to bail Dear Old Dad out of Tyrrania (aka Kingdom of Blood), so she’s not quite as motivated to miser up.
Even though they have weapons that can harm the golem, it’s not as though they can kill it with one hit. Typical D&D – in “real life”, you hit a vital spot with your weapon and the fight is over; in D&D, even with a crit, a dagger or short sword is only going to subtract so many hit points from the golem (and the golem has lots).
Plus if I’m not mistaken, in AD&D 3.5 golems are among that looooooong list of critters that are immune to sneak attacks, making Rogues pretty much useless in a fight against them.
Both of them are gonna hit it maybe twice or thrice a round for 1d6 and 1d4 respectively (maybe +2 or 3 from STR, and even that is fairly generous), while it retaliates with like 2 or 3 2d8+5 slams (plus probably power attack, and whatever Crystal Golems get to beef up). I’m pretty sure at these rates they run out of HP before it does.
Crystal, being a Rogue, likely did not have Power Attack.
Yeah but she probably gained a bunch of Big Dumb feats as part of her monster template. I mean, she can now charge *through *walls. That rates an ability to Power Attack in my book 
It depends how many potions of healing Haley has in her Bag of Holding, doesn’t it? That’s one area where organics have an advantage over constructs.
Thanks. So, either explanation tracks. Either way, it was funny.
She has a wand of healing, too.
Could she use the Wand of Flying to Fly the Crystal Golem? Hard for CG to apply any force with nothing to brace against.
She gave it to Elan.
Just what she needs, another airborne trampto fight.
Assuming she can cast it on Crystal, nothing’s gained: It’s the recipient of the spell who controls the flight, not the caster. All you get is a golem that can fly when, if and how it wants to, not one that is forced to.
Hmm.
Seems less-than-optimal, then.
Ah, gnomes. Stupid, stupid gnomes.
The alliteration of Department of Gnomeland Security made me laugh out loud.
I credit Berlow, it just gets worse and worse.
:dubious:
Is that a Borderlands 2 reference in panel 6?
That word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
“Power levels at 400%.”
“Cool.”
The more I thought about Gnomeland Security, the more I giggled. It was so painfully bad that it came right back 'round again to funny. It was very Pearls Before Swine.
