#037



The hardest part about the comic I've found is settling on sound effects. Hence, today you get 'Parry' because I can't for the life of me think what that ought to sound like.

A wizard is a bad choice for non-magical combat. They get the worst attack bonuses and hit dice out of all the classes (except Sorceror, where they're even), and they can't wear any armour without interfering with their spells.

Fortunately, the good people who made the game seemed to consider that. There are a couple actions in which a character can try to better defend themselves. In Soverliss' case, he's chosen the total defense action, which means he's no longer allowed to attack, but gains +4 to his armour class. By comparison, chainmail offers the same bonus.
