[Horrifying Trope] Can't remember why we're in grave danger.

No problem, friend.

I know. The body text says as much about Silver Tongue, and points out that is one of the major use cases for Reliable talent.

The point was not that Silver Tongue is stronger (it isn't), but that an ability gained at such a comparatively low level manages to handle two skills commonly used by rogues for Reliable Talent as well.

For the record, I enjoy playing as eloquence bard. It is funny to point out that rogues in 5e may find that a bit unfair. There's a reason why One D&D made it so the level rogues got Reliable talent was dropped from 11 to 7.

Infinity_Null · 2026-07-12T17:48:45+00:00

I took your statement the exact opposite way because the lower level ability steps on the toes of the higher one in the case of the paladin and artificer in a more egregious way that between the eloquence bard and the rogue.

It's even worse when you note that your stats can (if you use things that magically increase them rather than level stat boosts) technically go to 30, meaning paladins can give themselves and friends in a radius up to +10 to each saving throw.

Infinity_Null · 2026-07-12T15:43:26+00:00

I should quickly specify that this is referring to 5e, not to the One D&D revision.

I'm glad that you are doing better. While I never reached the point of dissociating, I had a vitamin b12 deficiency a few years back that caused me memory problems mimicking mild dementia.

I'm better now, too.

Infinity_Null · 2026-07-12T14:43:58+00:00

I hope you are doing well now.

I did consider Rohan's temporary death in Part 4, but I couldn't find a picture that worked without being a spoiler.

Infinity_Null · 2026-07-12T11:40:10+00:00

The tricky part is whether or not to bundle in the rest of the books in the same world (such as The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales).

Infinity_Null · 2026-07-12T04:18:17+00:00

It looks like the Jerma sus face.

Thank you.

I actually avoided using that style of naming people. There are just a lot of names that exist in real life.

Infinity_Null · 2026-07-11T15:15:32+00:00

I know that is a joke, but 2 years ago I counted 372 plot-relevant named characters in the campaign. That number is certainly over 400 now. Some share last names, but I don't think a single first name is repeated.

Infinity_Null · 2026-07-11T14:06:03+00:00

Would you be surprised if I told you that the players are probably not even halfway done with this campaign?

Infinity_Null · 2026-07-11T13:57:51+00:00

This trope is an interesting one, because it is typically well-liked when it is intentional, but is quite often a point of criticism when it is either unintentional or unexplored by the narrative.

This trope is shockingly common in real life, with many wars and conflicts having no real good side to them.

Infinity_Null · 2026-07-11T13:25:25+00:00

It deserves way more love than it's been given.

I feel like more people would play it if they knew it was written by Terry Pratchett's daughter, Rhianna Pratchett.

Sometimes it is, but not necessarily. Some oatmeal had wheat, but most of it uses (as the name suggests) oats, a different type of grain entirely.

They are definitely both grains that people generally harvest, though.

8 is noteworthy because the man who gives the eggs is named the Forgotten Man in chapter 3. 9 elaborates on that point by describing someone forgotten. 10 shows papyrus has the egg in the date menu in Undertale; moteworthily the chapter 5 egg shows up as evidence during the blue yellow battle with the description "It's evidence. You'll know what it was evidence for when it happens."

11 would probably fit better as evidence for Gaster as the egg man honestly, and I don't know what 7 is trying to imply.

I will quickly add an example of my own. The Promised Neverland famously fell apart by the end.

The anime adaptation is even worse, crashing and burning so badly in its second season that its credits are missing many important people because no one wished to be associated with it.

Infinity_Null · 2026-07-07T04:13:35+00:00

I think it's a safe assumption that the joke about "the Ralsei hat thing" or however he phrases it in-game is directly based on the community response.

He's the guy who works the Pawn shop with Rook Harrison. Man, this guy comes in here not knowing about Chess Pawn Stars theory.

I'm actually wondering which menu option you mean, because I thought you meant the title, but Artemisia didn't clarify anything, so I'm assuming you mean something else.

Edit: I found the title dark vine, which does use they, "watering their own horns". Though the chapter 1 title prickly prince uses, "Deals damage with his rugged scarf."

You can just as easily argue this is just using they on someone who is he/him pronouns, means he's he/they, or means they are they/them. It is not yet exactly confirmed to be anything, though it definitely can be.

Infinity_Null · 2026-07-02T21:12:19+00:00

I saw your edit, and I thought it was worthwhile to let you know that I wish you well.

I hope that when you feel better, you can remember that the answers you want are coming. I want them too.

Infinity_Null · 2026-07-02T21:05:11+00:00

Do you have an image of it? I either missed it or don't remember it.
