* AssholeVictim: The goblins that [[spoiler:Dies-Horribly's psychopathic left arm]] killed. Their deaths were creatively brutal and horrific, but they kinda had it coming -- they had just been trying to beat a fellow goblin to death while he cowered in fear, simply because they were too cowardly to stand up to their Viper Clan captor who gave the order. The one who survives is, appropriately, the only one who refused the order.

* LeakingCanOfEvil: The Axe of Prissan becomes this if wielded by a non-paladin, and especially if used for evil deeds. Without a paladin to empower it, the seal binding the demon inside the Axe weakens, allowing the demon's presence to spread into the mortal world. [[spoiler:The Axe is actually a conduit allowing a powerful demon to travel into the mortal realm. The demonic presence is bait to lure paladins into wielding the Axe so one will be nearby for the Sacred to devour on its arrival]].

* KillTheParentRaiseTheChild: [[spoiler:The Orc merchant Hawl killed a dwarf about a year before the comic started, but took it upon himself to adopt his son Targoth because he couldn't bring himself to leave the child to starve in the snow, and the two appear to have a fairly functional father/adopted son relationship. Unfortunately, when the pair have a run in with the KnightTemplar Kore, he first kills Hawl for [[FantasticRacism being an orc]], then decides that letting Targoth live after being RaisedByOrcs could lead to him growing up with misplaced sympathy for the monstrous races, [[WouldHurtAChild so he needs to die too]].]]

When Dies points out that by their philosophy they aren't truly responsible for their successes, as they are only such because their god willed it to be so - and that they thus should not be prideful (nor prejudiced) because of it - they are not amused.

Added I Hate Past me Entry
Added DiffLines:
* IHatePastMe: Minmax obtains a sword composed of oblivion. The sword is unaffected by time when Minmax isn't holding it, so retrieving it involves Minmax's hand opening a hole through time, which briefly allows passage of sound. This leads to Minmax yelling in frustration at his future self for being unable to throw the weapon to someone else, then that same yelling blowing his stealth cover when trying to quietly draw the sword later. Minmax then humorously invokes this trope.
--> '''Minmax:''' Alright, that's it. I don't like FUTURE Minmax... and I don't like PAST Minmax. I only like RIGHT NOW Minmax.
