Awesome but Impractical/Web Comics: Difference between revisions

** Staff-Chucks: Like sword-chucks, except that they shoot magic in every direction. Black Mage ''loved'' them, since destroying everything in sight is his favorite thing to do.

* ''[[Order of the Stick]]'''s Vaarsuvius has chosen to specialise in evocation magic at the expense of conjuration and necromancy. In layman's terms, this means [[Ambiguous Gender|s/he]] has access to a lot of flashy destruction spells at the expense of losing access to many 'utility-effect' spells (teleport, summoning minions, level drain, etc). Many experienced D&D players are of the opinion that damage-dealing evocations are one of the least optimum ways of utilising a wizard's power. {{spoiler|Tthe method used to counteract this temporarily--the Soul Splice--wasn't much better. seeing as it involved RENTING HER SOUL [[It Makes Sense in Context|(trust me, it makes sense in context]] and only lasted so long, as well as making him/her feel sufficiently omnipotent to take on Xykon and the rest of Team Evil...single-handedly. In short, once is enough.}}

** Also {{spoiler|Frans Rayner's}} laser eye. Highly destructive...but burns calories to fire, tiring the user out in one shot.

* ''[[Nedroid]]'': Reginald has two of the world's deadliest weapons: [http://nedroid.com/2012/01/deadly-weapons/ invisible swords.]

* [[Deconstruction|Deconstructed]] in [http://www.viruscomix.com/page463.html this Subnormality strip]

* Taken to hilarious extremes in ''[[Oglaf]]'' with a weapon the dwarves make. [http://www.oglaf.com/obituator/1/ NSFW]

** The Unreal Air gives you unlimited vertical flight. Stable, blandly slow, unsteerable flight. Dave finds a good enough use for it to ascend to his Gates, but it has no other practical use.

* ''[[A Loonatics Tale]]'': Lynch Cruor fights using a Punjab lasso; in layman's terms, a weaponized hangman's noose. Unfortunately, he's a vampire who's just shy of 1000 years old, so he's had plenty of time to practice.

* In [[Misfile]], Vashiel is an angel of punishment, so he gets a [[Big Fucking Sword]] that ''flames'' and can ''smite evildoers in a second''. His brother, Rumisiel, is a filer, so he gets a multi-filing tool, with a recorder, web access, and other [[Boring but Practical]] things like that. Guess which one comes in handy?

* In ''[[Collar 6]]'' everyone appears to go through their life dressed in BDSM attire.
