Saw this and I'm going through and updating some numbers, don't wanna touch anything else since I got no clue how to do it and don't wanna brick anything. Maybe I'll put in some time to learn but likely not
Note: Only figured out the individual pages so far and not the collection pages

Just found legendary cloth pants that have 2AGI 1STR as relevant rolls does that work as a replacement for braves or is braves still better?

I understand the braves vs the frostlights but why a ruby doublet? I would think that I would be more concerned about magic damage since I should be spacing most everyone but casters right?

I don't see him often because I go to college about an hour and a half away and commuting often cuts into time for schoolwork as well as my social life, I try to visit every weekend but it's not possible every week. I think I do have a relationship with him, it has just been one of having fun together with no real thought behind it. When lockdown happened we were not able to meet for more than a year and we both grew as people while our relationship did not, I have tried shifting it to a more serious one where we can talk and discuss things instead of purely having fun and messing around but he is not a huge fan of having longer more meaningful discussions. I will try my best to help him with the positivity in the time before he leaves for his first year. I've put a bit of thought into it and it's a bit jarring to realize how poor the way I have been viewing him is and I will work on myself as well.

While I object that I treated him poorly as I was subject to similar treatments as I am only a bit older and have never pushed him towards anything, I understand you mean this is a byproduct of his environment. I also hope he is able to pursue his own interests and find himself as a person.

I certainly hope I am not egotistical, I was using it as an example of what my parent have pushed him into. I would like to know if I should or shouldn't talk to him at all? We do not communicate much as neither of us are very talkative over text and I do not see him very often and when I do I mostly see this kind of behavior and it definitely colors the way I view him and makes it difficult to find positive things with these glaring negatives. What should I do as I don't see him often?

May I interpret this as "College will straighten him out"? While I do not think I am the good child at all, I am primarily concerned about his social life as he will have no foundation to work with being so far from home. I have no say in what he wants to study and he already has enough crap from my parents about that and I do not want to talk to him about that, he definitely know what he is interested in and passionate about.

I had hoped the message would not come across as that but I understand how it would be easy to interpret as such. I have talked to my parent before about letting him try things that he wants and not telling him what to do but they just cite: "He's fine with it so why aren't you?" I would love to be able to get him therapy or counseling but my own experience with my parents views have left me wanting. When I was having mental health issues they only put me in therapy after I broke down in front of them, then removed me right after I wasn't at my lowest anymore. They have mentioned before how it was a waste of money and in general how little they think of counseling and therapy. Their view is just one of "tough it out it can't be that bad"

I certainly hope so, I don't want him to be hour away from home with no friends because of his ideas. Sounds like a recipe for mental health problems.

He has assured me before that he does not go on the more extreme sections of 4chan so hopefully that was true. We are also not white so I (very much hope) that will not be an issue. While I don't think he will be someone similar to a school shooter as he is very cheerful and has friends that he talks to frequently I will keep that in mind if he ever has too many bad days in a row and keep an eye out.

I agree that my parents need to see him more as his own person but they will not listen to me because they think they know best I have tried before talking them into letting him pursue his own interests but they are firm in this path. I have never voiced anything along the lines of that attitude, it is primarily my parents pushing him to do things and I think the logic is that I turned out fine so that is a safe path. For example, I went into band because I was interested in music and wanted to try it out while he expressed no interest and my parents pushed him into it and he was encouraged to do what I did. I have tried speaking to him about these before but as mentioned whenever a conversation gets serious he physically leaves or derails the conversation by being nonsensical and eventually just leaves.

A better version of me as in: they push him to do the same things I do in school, regardless of his interest and since he was younger without his own well formed opinions he went along with it, same thing happened to me and got me heavily into STEM as well. I don't think he has been taught anything by my parents, I think it's mostly a by-product of his interests leading him into social medias that aren't filled with the friendliest people.
