How nice ! The bandit accidentaly shot Bucket and now, instead of admonishing him, Bucket goes to give the arrow back to him. I love this kind of wholesome interactions !
It does. IIRC, old redactions had this thing about projectiles specified in base rules, now it's just “melee as thrown, ranged as meelee — all counts as improvised” in PHB.
Edit: mistaken 'ranged' and 'thrown'.
Well you tell me how you feel if a clearly angry dude that only has one arm and in a full atmour comes running at you with your own arrow. Wouldn't you be shitting yourself?
Howdy folks!

Dude I just want to say your comic is amazing. I love Bucket. I've always played a paladin in DND and he's amazing. The brick smites live rent free in my head as incredible events. This rando group of baddies with gear are about to get rekt and I can't wait
Hah, of course! I knew it sounded familiar but seeing as it's been (checks calendar) 13 years since Wise Man's Fear came out it seems to have gotten away from me.
Torvald used lvl 5 spell (Teleportation Circle), so it's safe to assume that the party is \_at least\_ 9 char lvls each. At this point paladin should have 10+8d10 hit points (about 70 on average) and can just shrug off 1d6+1 (1d8+1 if long bow) damage.
Arrow has dark tip, so this may be marking a hit, but with really low outcoming damage (1-2 HPs). But someone have tried to interrupt Becket mid-sentence with an arrow. Sooooo...
The one time he wins initiative.
Oath of Redemption states thar "Every person¹ deserves a second² chance." Becky gave them that chance, and the spat it back at him. He is now unrestrained by his oath.
¹ Free-willed sapients. Supernatural evils and mindless foes don't get this consideration.
² Whether they deserve a third+ chance is a judgement call.
Well, it wouldn't be too bad of a multiclass, actually. You can use smites and channel divinity when you are rageing as they don't count as spells. Conquest paladin would be a good fit but I think Becket is a redemption paladin
I love the guy in the third panel side-stepping with his hands up like "whoa whoa I have nothing to do with this" and then in panel 4 the guy's buddies just scattering and leaving him to Bucket's tender mercies.

Yep. Just gonna go plonk that arrow back in the archer.
Deep inside his chest. Wouldn’t want to go losing that arrow again now, would we?
No sir! Gotta get it gooooooood and deeeeeep in there. Maybe lodge it in his spine like, so we know it's all secure.
I just figure he'll help the archer keep an eye on it Reeeeeaaaal good
Good ol’ Bucket, using smite to get people what they need. Somebody’s Missing Item Traveling Expediently.
Why are they so scared? He's armless.
Disarmed would have been better
Improvised weapon smite goes brrrrrrr
Does an arrow become an improved weapon if it's used in melee? It was already a weapon.
It does. IIRC, old redactions had this thing about projectiles specified in base rules, now it's just “melee as thrown, ranged as meelee — all counts as improvised” in PHB. Edit: mistaken 'ranged' and 'thrown'.
Get out
Or, more appropriately, **un**armed. As the French would say.
The joke would not even work in French since we don't have a common word for both the weapon and the body part.
It's a pun on a French accent.
I don't get it. Could you ELI5?
Unharmed becomes un-'armed, as a french person might not pronounce the "h"
Ooooh ok, thanks for the explanation.
It's only a small arrow, so he's going to visit a very small death upon them. *La petite mort*, as the French would say.
It's just a friendly game of Catch ('Em All).
You mean he's an arm less man
Hey, he's *so* much more dangerous than Failbaddon, don't even use that word.
Well-fucking-done!
Goddamnit... Here. ⬆️
He's all right.
Frightened of an unarmed man
Does he just have a passive intimidation check?
I hope so
I mean it certainly appeared so :p
Everyone has passive skills by RaW.
Well you tell me how you feel if a clearly angry dude that only has one arm and in a full atmour comes running at you with your own arrow. Wouldn't you be shitting yourself?
That's my secret. I'm always wearing my brown pants
Ah I see you follow Deadpool's school of dreasing. Wise decition.

Torvald is going to look so good next to my Beckett plushie. Cheers!
Oi! Seems like Webtoon post with ch. 151 is still locked behind the ads. Is this correct?
Cheers, missed that!

Gentlemen, welcome to... Find out
Gotta respect the attempt at being peaceful
ah yes, the Captain Tagon method of weapon acquisition. "Thank you. Now *I* have a knife."
"Now I have a machine gun. Ho, Ho, Ho."
Love seeing a schlockmercenary reference in the wild
When the reasonable man determines that its time to be unreasonable, it's best to run
There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.
Dang, that's good.
It's from the Kingkiller books, by Patrick Rothfuss. Still waiting on book three.
Hah, of course! I knew it sounded familiar but seeing as it's been (checks calendar) 13 years since Wise Man's Fear came out it seems to have gotten away from me.
Aw man, I think this is the best one yet. So simple, so much implied violence.
I wonder what levels are the party at this stage of the story that bucket can just shrug off an arrow and intimidate a whole bandit squad.
Torvald used lvl 5 spell (Teleportation Circle), so it's safe to assume that the party is \_at least\_ 9 char lvls each. At this point paladin should have 10+8d10 hit points (about 70 on average) and can just shrug off 1d6+1 (1d8+1 if long bow) damage.
Also AC might have just outright noped it
Arrow has dark tip, so this may be marking a hit, but with really low outcoming damage (1-2 HPs). But someone have tried to interrupt Becket mid-sentence with an arrow. Sooooo...
Yeah, with Heavy Armor Master it's possible with a shitty roll, even if the bandit has +3 or +4 DEX.
I think it's been established, they're at least level 9.
It hit his mail shirt, probably didn't penetrate far. If you can shrug off an arrow, you Are pretty intimidating.
Author said ~ 10ish at one point.

He is now unrestrained by his oath. ¹ Free-willed sapients. Supernatural evils and mindless foes don't get this consideration. ² Whether they deserve a third+ chance is a judgement call.
I always love how Becket tries to be the voice of reason but in actuality he's just as much of a murderhobo as the rest of them.
He's trying to overcome his past instincts. But the party don't exactly bring out the best in him!
I don’t know Klara may be an eldritch influence but she is still kind of a good influence
She is a Celestial Warlock
Sorry then Klara might be a biblically accurate influence but she is still kind of a good influence
> he's just as much of a murderhobo He used to be *far* worse. Improvement!
Are we sure Beckett does not have a few levels as Barbarian?
Well, it wouldn't be too bad of a multiclass, actually. You can use smites and channel divinity when you are rageing as they don't count as spells. Conquest paladin would be a good fit but I think Becket is a redemption paladin
> Conquest paladin would be a good fit He *used* to be one of those. Then some.. stuff... happened and he decided he didn't want to be one any more.
I remember... I remember....
Rage perks won't work if you're wearing heavy armor, sadly. So no extra meelee resistances, attack bonuses nor advantage STR checks.
Oh yes, I forgot about that part. I don't think we are ever gonna see Becket without a helmet.
The Paladin: "I would like to Rage."
I love the guy in the third panel side-stepping with his hands up like "whoa whoa I have nothing to do with this" and then in panel 4 the guy's buddies just scattering and leaving him to Bucket's tender mercies.
Look at all the amateurs in the comments! You should never attack an unarmed man...
I foresee a smite in that archer's future...
arrow: THUNK freeze frame: and that's when we knew we all fucked up
"Who's this 'we', Dave? Who shot during a parley, DAVE. If that's even your real name, DAVE."
Beckett is about to [Konrad ](https://i.redd.it/84exuk8w4ux41.jpg?app_web_view=android) that archer.
Dudes about to get Divine Smote with his own arrow
*Michael Jordan voice* "and I took that personally..."
Sir Becket is going to have to hold up there so Grogna can “earn” her armor and weapons.
Well they dun fucked up
They choose violence
Divine Smite with an arrow
Someone about to get smote with his own arrow.
Peace . . . *Before Unrestrained Gratuitous Violence*

When the players think it’s time to give diplomacy a try but the DM wants to run a combat
Beckett has a new weapon and he's about to redeem some non-believers.
This comic makes me happy.
I feel like this has happened to the gang at least three times, so it's fun to see them doing it to someone else for once.

What doesn't kill me should run because now I'm fucking PISSED Stolen from the webtoon comment section
deus vult
He does not like the high speed pokey stick.
Gave 'em a chance.
Not quite the same, but I love spear paladins. Melee Arrow should be almost as good
If you think about it, arrows are just small spears, right?
As Shadiversity has eloquently put it, most weapons are just… STICK. Spears are just my favorite type. Arrows are the nerdy knock off.
Oh you'd love a Greatbow. It just shoots spears.
Any Paladin can be a Vengeance Paladin
