I'll be back posting comics soon, I promise, but this older one is topical enough to post.

it's based on the Blahaj, I tried to get the expression as close as possible. :)
Konsi is exactly the kind of person to misinterpret her instructions, mess up, and avoid the bullet.
You know you always get a bonus Konsi by now.
One thing we often do is we gate the ability to roll on a check through whether or not the skill is trained - for example in our games with lockpicking, you can only attempt to pick a lock if you have proficiency.
This prevents the situation where the character with years of training and practice in a specific niche skill beefs it, but someone with no idea what they're doing then tries and succeeds - we say some things are only possible to try if you know how.
Don't apply this house rule to everything, but it's worth considering, especially in games where your party can casually drop a +10 or a +15 onto any skill check through the right magic to force a success anyway.
When making ttrpg characters to play, it's very easy to just make your character "you" if you don't think about it or plan anything - you'll naturally revert to how you approach situations without conscious effort - however that means after a while your characters all start to feel the same.
If you want something that feels unique or different to your previous characters, the easiest way is to take some aspect of your personality and greatly over-exaggerate it, and build the character around that - This way you're still using some of your natural reactions and inclinations, so it's much easier of a role to inhabit than someone who's wholly different to you.
I really should add a couple of new T-shirt designs, it's been a while, maybe I'll make a Konsi shirt to celebrate comic 1000 :D
I did once have a patreon, but it lapsed - literally nobody signed up for it in over a decade. These days, I'd feel a little bad having a regular payment, considering how little content I actually produce.
I don't need any financial support to keep doing this, I'm lucky enough to not need financial support, and I draw to relax. The absolute best way to "support the comic" is to introduce more people to it, especially on bluesky. https://linktr.ee/ahdok for the social media streams I use.
If you really really want to put financial support towards me, there is a paypal link on the comic site, and also a few t-shirts at the "shop" link at the top - but again, I want to stress that the comic is not dependent on donations in any way.
Bonus Konsi?
But what if one of these sidequests has a good reward?
This comic follows on from the Previous comic which will almost certainly provide context.

Konsi did have a necklace of fireballs for a while. She's used one of them, but eventually passed it off to Toron, since she has access to AOE magic anyway.
this is what the gauntlets of ogre power are for.
It's not easy, having a divine mission.

When the day is drawing to a close and you still have all your spells, you gotta find things to use them on.

Konsi doesn't make the rules, she's gotta use those slots.

This one isn't much of a joke, it's instead providing opportunity for some upcoming character exposition.

Some people suggested that breaking up tall comics into two images within the post body would help readability in their client, so here's that.
We're over the exposition hump now, so hopefully following comics will have smaller/fewer speech bubbles.
Apologies for tall comic again, I don't see a way in the lemmy interface to let me upload multiple images in one post (which would let me break it up.) - in the web interface, if you keep clicking on the image it'll become full size eventually, or you can open in a new tab and zoom in, or look at it at one of my other places

The spell Konsi's talking about is "Fortune's Favour" - it's level 2, consumes a 100gp pearl to cast, and lets you re-roll a single D20 within the next hour. It's in Explorer's Guide to Wildmount.
It's been a little while due to drawtober, and my website is (mostly) functional again, so if you want to read all the Konsi comics from the beginning, you can do so on my website at this link. Please be advised that these posts are presented in reverse chronological order, so start at the end and work backwards.
This is Konsi, she's a DnD cleric who just wants to help people, but who suffers from imposter syndrome. I'm currently drawing her daily for drawtober.
Hope you all enjoy!
This is how every party healer feels inside.
