I think about 90% of you predicted this. I like to keep you guys guessing, but sometimes it would truly make no sense if the characters don't at least try the obvious path.

The name of the dish is The Mighty Scoville" in case you were wondering.

I played another Pathfinder session, and in the interest of science and convincing myself that I don't have evil dice karma, here are my (D20) rolls for the game:

3, 2, 1, 4, 1, 5, 14, 5, 8, 3, 1, 6, 5, 11, 20, 14, 1, 3, 16, 16, 15, 8, 9, 20, 9, 8, 1, 14, 19.

The bold numbers are attack rolls, the other ones are mostly perception rolls, initiative, and misc stuff like will or fort saves.

That means my average attack roll was 10.5, which is not exceptional at all. The non-combat average was 6.9. The total average over all 29 rolls was 8.1. It's not statistically that far out there, but really, those first 6 rolls had the rest of the table trying to get me to switch dice and/or switch dice rolling tray.

I was using this one cause I like that the outer wall holds about 5 sets of dice. If I don't limit how many dice I bring I, well, I bring too many dice. I mean I still bring a few giant" (55mm) D20s, but I just like setting them up around my area so I can fidget roll them around in my hand. I would love to have a 55mm solid tungsten or osmium D20 (osmium is apparently toxic until it oxidizes, but you can put sealant on it) because they would both weigh a surprising amount. Unfortunately I think the tungsten one would probably cost around $4,000, the osmium one would cost... let's see, total volume of a 55mm icosahedron... weight of that much osmium... convert grams to troy ounces... Roughly $30,000? Yeah, probably not worth it just so someone can pick it up and go Whoa, that's surprisingly heavy!"

The newvote incentiveis up! This is a bit of a weird one as it's a character that hasn't appeared in the comic.

It's my Ifrit Pathfinder 1e monk, Fray! Ifrits don't really make great monks in Pathfinder, as player characters they get a +2 to Dex and Cha, but -2 to Wis. For monks, Dex is good, Cha is largely irrelevant, but Wis is important as it can add to your AC and also has something to do with Ki points I think. But I didn't care. I wanted a character with dark blue/gray skin and glowing orange hair, so that's what I picked. (I don't think Ifrit even really have dark skin, so maybe she's 1/4 Drow? Don't care. I think she looks cool.) Will she show up in the comic? I mean... maybe? Probably in a Dabbler flashback, but who knows?

As usual,Patreon has her in delicto flagrante.
