Comic for January 4, 2023: King Clovis
Fun fact, Tom was debating whether or not to include Clovis as fox/wolf with horns or full-on anthro derg. Chat unanimously voted derg. For obvious reasons.
Going to be interesting seeing how everyone deals with this. I honestly didn't expect it to even appear to work that well for him. Not good.

Well... that's ten pounds of "not good" in a five pound bag.
Would be hilarious if even turning into a dragon isn't strong enough to break Nora's curse and make him a male again, though.
In fact, I'm almost willing to bet that it isn't, because all he got was Reni's power, and she's still a relatively young dragon, likely unable to compete with the magic of an elder like Nora.

I'm going to be so happy when this [censored] crazy [censored] gets what's coming to him, and it better not be redemption.

Re: Comic for January 4, 2023: King Clovis
Hmm, not seeing any sign of wings here, but they could just be closed/hidden by what's left of that tattered cloak.
I can only see Clovis being a significant threat in the (immediate) future because of the sheer power now at his disposal. He's had not any adjustment period or prior experience with anywhere near as much power. Any spell he throws is surely gonna be amplified to degrees that might be dangerous even to him now.
I wonder if removing the amulet will be enough to undo the transformation. Usually how such things work, and given it doesn't seem to be embedded into his scales, definitely an option. Probably one only the Basitins could really try, though, his physical strength is likely similarly amplified and they'd be the only ones with the durability to take a hit.
I now foresee a new sketch trend, Amulet of Draconification or whatever so people can get the characters as sexy lizard people

With luck, it'll be Trace who notices that Clovis is still Feminine-presenting, in spite of all his efforts so far.leinglo wrote: ↑Wed Jan 04, 2023 5:24 pm Well... that's ten pounds of "not good" in a five pound bag.

Re: Comic for January 4, 2023: King Clovis
Let's see too how long Clovis will support this new amount of power ......... What fate ? He dies ? He comes back to his fox form with physical or mental decrease ? The amulet is tricked and stops after some minutes ?tony1695 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 04, 2023 6:25 pm Hmm, not seeing any sign of wings here, but they could just be closed/hidden by what's left of that tattered cloak.

Re: Comic for January 4, 2023: King Clovis
Sexy lizard people for the win. Guaranteed this will happen, just a matter of time.
Also, just noticed... When viewing on my PC at work, Clovis' horns are behind the panel border, but on mobile, they look normal, even when viewing in desktop mode. I think my monitor might be ghosting... This isn't happening for anyone else, is it?

Re: Comic for January 4, 2023: King Clovis
Well now we know what the amulet was for...
But there are two things I'm surprised haven't been mentioned yet.
1. "King" Clovis doesn't have visible ears (which thanks to the patreon sketches we know is the defining feature for male dragons)
2. This scenario is sorta like an inversion of the Climax to the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
(And as I type this now, can anyone else imagine Clovis with Sean Bean's voice?)

Re: Comic for January 4, 2023: King Clovis
The issue with that assumption is that we have a very small sample size. Three females (Nora, Reni and Willow's mother) and one male (DJ Scales). Not gonna count the shadow dragon thing Trace summoned that one time, we can't even be sure which it was anyway. Same with instances where characters get turned into dragons for the sake of the sketch. Too much morphic resonance.Elemental Templar wrote: ↑Wed Jan 04, 2023 11:09 pm 1.

And Clovis is likely a very unique case, not being a natural born dragon but a being who has become very dragon-like. Any standard gender dimorphism is probably out the window.

Maddy has been shown capable of robbing people, and they're not aware of it until she tells them; we could potentially see Clovis realising she's lost the amulet when Maddy hands it to Nat/Red/Raine.

Re: Comic for January 4, 2023: King Clovis
This is true. She's quite skilled in stealth, and looks young. His guard around her might just get low enough for her to get one good sneak attack in before [censored] hits the fan.
Never underestimate the utility of a skilled pickpocket, especially in a desperate situation.

Re: Comic for January 4, 2023: King Clovis
Hopefully Clovis moving into the role of immediate biggest threat means an uptick in Natani moments. Trace is probably a bit winded so unless that amulet is an exploitable weakness the party is gonna have a bad time.
