Addis’ design is (loosely) inspired by Mel Medarda. She’s a force to be reckoned with.

      Same. I honestly don’t think Lemmy is better than reddit, even in the current state. But Konsi keeps me coming back daily.

          Her instance in particular, Hexbear, was initially defederated from everyone (that is, disconnected from the wider Lemmy/fediverse network), but recently decided to change their policy and federated (or, joined the network), hence her calling out “being federated” like this

    I always love it when religious characters put the social good above their own personal power. It makes me feel hopeful.

    But seriously, what is back pay ? I have no clue

      “Back pay” is when an organization you work for realizes they should have been paying you more than they have been, and returns that lost pay to you.

      I can’t tell if you’re being serious but back pay is when you get a promotion or something like that and it applies retroactively to hours you have already worked. So you get backpay for all those hours. Sometimes it can be a few years with so you get like 5000 hours of an extra 1 dollar pay or whatever

        Huh. It would make sense. More money for the special Konsi fun fund then

          It’s not shown in the comic, but Konsi puts that pay into a charity fund in the temple that funds a soup kitchen in the Field Ward.

            Of course XD I expected nothing short of it.

            Althought as a smithing cleric with expensive spells to use, Im surprised she still got as much left.

              We-ell… we’ve got about 100k stashed between the party from adventures… the pay of a priestess isn’t going to be much in comparison.

              We’ve been on a lot of adventures with large payouts, and Konsi’s not had much time to smith stuff - and some of the stuff she’s made has sold for insane amounts of cash.

                What level is she? If she’s not already, you might consider the 5th edition version of the old Dwemersmith prestige class. Sounds like she’s got all the prerequisites, and spending way less time, money, and XP on magic items is useful for making ridiculously overpowered magic items :)

                  Ah so… the “5th edition version” of prestige classes is “we removed the concept of prestige classes”

                  Artificer does have some features that reduce the cost and time to make magic items… but in Konsi’s case, there’s four problems with taking the artificer class as a multiclass.

                  1. Multiclass rules are… pretty bad in 5e, and honestly the game is better if you just don’t use them (this is my subjective opinion)
                  2. Artificer is a really bad class for Konsi - it gives a lot of features and proficiencies she already has, and some low level spells she doesn’t need. (Also it’s int-based, and her int is 9, also she doesn’t even qualify to take the class.)
                  3. She wants to focus on being a cleric (Smithing is mostly a side-gig because she has the hammer.)
                  4. The artifact hammer is giving insane discounts to the cost and time of making magic items already, other bonuses probably wouldn’t stack. It takes her 6 days and 500gp to make a pair of sending stones.

                  In the comic here, she’s level 9.

          I’m sure it’ll all work out in the end, but right now, bad things have happened in our campaign. I wouldn’t end Konsi comics on a sad note though.

    So is she asking that Konsi should be a junior priestess, or that Konsi should get a junior priestess to help her?

    • C0rked

      The joke is that until then, Konsi was still considered a Junior priestess on a bureaucratic level, and the high priestess is just like “I can’t believe we haven’t changed her position, terrible thing to overlook in the paperwork”

      I might be misunderstanding your question, so apologies in advance if I have.

      Konsi’s new girlfriend (who’s name is currently escaping me), is asking for a suggestion for a present for Konsi, who is a junior priestess. Tyrande and Lady Addis are surprised that Konsi is still just a junior priestess, considering what she’s accomplished.

      She’s asking what kind of present would help “a junior priestess” with their work, because Konsi is a junior priestess.

      A better sentence would be “Do you have any suggestions for presents suitable for a junior priestess?” - but speech bubble real estate is expensive.
