I, too, thought it was cool now. 😃 ---

By the rules, both V’s flight and Bloodfeast’s polymorph should turn back on once they’re out of the antimagic. But Rich might well decide to Rule of Cool it. ---

I could see Calder _wanting_ to command Sunny to move its gaze but being unable to speak the command, what with an allosaurus attached to his throat. Also, I’m siding with Belkar. If you can’t enjoy “a lizard turning into a dinosaur and biting into a dragon in mid-air” on its own merits,. I don’t know what to tell you. ---

It looks to me like Bloodfeast had Surprise on that first round of combat. That certainly helps get your teeth into your opponent’s throat. ---

Bloodfeast appears to have a dewclaw. Impressive detail. ---

We all love the dinosaur vs dragon panel. But let’s also take a moment to admire the “Oh no, not this extremely specific situation again!” line. ---

> [@Jophiel](#): > > Mechanically, I’m unconvinced but story-wise and visually, I’m all for it. Even in a real game of DND, mechanics should follow story. If I were DMing for the Order of the Stick, then when Belkar started showing all this character growth towards animals culminating with adopting the transformed Bloodfeast, I’d have given him something like this feat as a ‘story bonus feat’: [https://www.realmshelps.net/charbuild/feat/Wild\_Cohort](https://www.realmshelps.net/charbuild/feat/Wild_Cohort) That way Bloodfeast would benefit from animal companion progression and not become totally useless. ---

Bloodfeast also managed to get one of his claw attacks in, as well. A good detail. ---

> [@Hypno-Toad](#): > > Bloodfeast must be so happy to be getting some quality tooth-time In the 2nd last panel, Calder got his paw into Bloodfeast’s mouth, so the chomp on Calder’s neck will probably be coming to an end. ---

I’m surprised Haley is having issues flying Minrah. She’s flown Elan about without much effort. I guess Minrah’s armor is heavy? And once Minrah casts Protection From Evil, is there any point to maintaining touch contact? ---
