Goblins/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

* [[The Big Guy]]: A type 2. While not noticeably taller than the others, he's burlier.

* [[Good Is Dumb]]: Averted. Big Ears is very intelligent, and good at getting himself and others out of bad situations.

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: He can fall victim to this, but ~~can--usually--be~~ reasoned out of it.

* [[Lawful Good]]: A rare modern example of a truly kind, courageous and noble paladin.

{{quote|'''Chief:''' Why would ''anyone'' want [[Being Good Sucks|to become a paladin?!]]<br />

Line 209:

* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Oh, yes.

* [[Heroic Self-Deprecation]]: See the link for Kin's [[Tears of Joy]].

* [[Hidden Depths]]: More emotional then ~~mental -- despite~~ his minmaxer nature and fervent belief that the only point of monsters is to be killed by adventurers, Minmax was still so horrified to discover what Dellyn Goblinslayer was doing to Kin that he immediately attacked him in outrage. Later, he tried to come up with any excuse he could to avoid having to kill Kin in the way that he said was natural, even going to the extent of using his non-existent non-combat skills to try and make a birthday party for her so that he could claim there was something "normal" about her and, thusly, she wasn't a monster. He's also surprisingly understanding of Kin's emotional trauma, taking no offense when she hesitates to take his hand to enter the Maze of Many.

** Minmax also pointed out the ridiculousness of Drowbabe's very existence.

** And he came up with the idea of pushing over a tree made of dead wood to crush the goblins that had him and Forgath pinned. Even Forgath couldn't believe Minmax could come up with something that clever.

Line 233:

* {{spoiler|[[Gamer Chick]]: His player.}}

* [[Luke Nounverber]]: His name.

* [[Mundane Utility]]: His favorite magic item, the Anymug, is capable of repeatedly producing any mundane room-temperature fluid that can't inherently destroy the acid-vulnerable stone mug (so no liquid nitrogen, acid or magma). However, as he is quick to prove, it becomes [[Awesome Yet Practical]] if you're clever enough to see the potential in ~~it -- like~~ creating an endless supply of the ultra-flammable fuel "dragon lung" to soak enemies with to burn them alive.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: His reaction when he realises he and his party have basically massacred an innocent band of warriors who want nothing more then to keep their women and children safe. He even races to use his Cure Light Wounds power to prevent Thaco from dying as a result.

* [[Running Gag]]: Tackles Minmax whenever the latter does or is about to do something stupid.

Line 299:

* [[Pet the Dog]]: He is visibly grief-stricken when he sees {{spoiler|Sarral Caine's decapitated corpse.}} Normally that wouldn't be so much of a [[Pet the Dog]] moment except it's the ''only'' humanizing moment he has the whole story.

* {{spoiler|[[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]]: What he did to Kin was enough to make Minmax, normally of the type to consider all monsters worth killing for the XP, go ballistic on his ass.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Rasputinian Death]]: Being humiliatingly defeated by his favored enemy<ref>For those unfamiliar with [[Dungeons and Dragons]], Rangers get a ton of combat bonuses against their favored enemy type</ref>, having his [[Hannibal Lecture]] turned on its ear, being told by one of his oldest opponents he's [[Not Worth Killing]], and losing an ear right before he loses his position, his pride, and is reduced to an angry drunk. Shortly thereafter Dellyn is thrown through a window, slashed and pummeled, set on fire, beaten over the head with a table, and finally stabbed to death repeatedly.}}

* [[Torture Technician]]: He sadistically vivisects captured monsters in order to learn their weaknesses.

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
