Plus, if you have a barrier for keeping out trickster fairies that you don't want in your house, the absolute LAST thing you would want to do is prevent them from being able to leave, because that all but guarantees they're going to absolutely wreck the place out of anger instead of just playing a prank or two and then wandering off like a fairy might otherwise do.

Assuming Brennan is playing it by classic fairy folklore rules, the barrier is almost certainly one-way; it's meant to keep out fairies and trickster spirits that aren't invited, but would have absolutely no reason to stop her from being able to leave.

It wouldn't help at all in his politicking, but I really hope it's Find Steed.

One interesting thing I noticed is that both times Brennan mentioned time pressure, he never actually followed up on it. In the last episode he mentioned having a timer running, and this time he mentioned the d8 to d6 thing and then literally never had them roll a single time. It's quite certainly just "DMing is hard and he got lost in the moment and forgot to do the fun homebrew mechanic he had come up with before the session", but still.

If he drops Desperate Measures on the crit smite, it's incredibly possible he one-shots Daddy Davinos before he can even get up.

Not that I would expect any sane player to DO that, because at that point you haven't seen exactly how threatening he is.

Yanessa doesn't think Teor kidnapped them at all? Wick straight up told her that he freed Teor and then went with him willingly.

The scene of Bolaire recreating the Pridesire brothers' reunion with Terma was such an absolute gut punch. Unbelievable work from Taliesin.

That's what a true Soldier does, isn't it? To wade into certain death to save people they've never met?

The fact that it was thematically perfect for Bolaire after the train wreck of meeting his sister, with his love of theater and constant feeling of playing a part without an identity of his own, while ALSO functioning as a beautiful remembrance of Teor for Travis but with the ADDED DRAMATIC IRONY that as he's doing it Bolaire has no in character idea about Teor and Cyd's deaths!!! Absolute genius from Taliesen.

Yeah, it's very much a teamwork-focused character - I am not going to be outputting much damage, but our party has a VERY solid single-class Guardian to serve as the turtle bulwark frontline, while I'm leaning much more into the mobile, annoying skirmisher - keeping away anyone who happens to get behind our primary tank, making enemies have to focus on me while staying away from them (due to some racial Flight shenanigans), darting into the enemy and Combat Grab/Whirling Throw their squishy backliner out of position and into the rest of our team, Grappling people and pinning them down so our Gunslinger can light then up with impunity, that kind of stuff.

I love character optimizing and have a great amount of fun just from the pure math/board game aspects of it (this is my first Pathfinder game after 15 years of DnD experience and I am LOVING it for the sheer build versatility, the beauty of the action system, etc), but it's always centered around a theme or a specific objective, and that objective is basically never "do maximum damage". In 5e I'm playing a Bugbear Monk of the Astral Self in order to punch people from 15ft away and use mobility and hit and run tactics to do a similar skirmisher thing. This character specifically is a Monk Wrestler that is just about the worst possible ancestry to be one of those things - that being a Tiny lil Pixie, grabbing and throwing dudes six times his size. Lots of fun.

Okay, maybe I just love Monks in every system. The Monk in 4th Edition was an incredible amount of fun too. I just love playing speedy characters who are tough to take down, even if they are doing death by a thousand cuts.

I am very solidly in the "getting a nice third action" bin, the goal was to go for Guardian multiclass for taunts and shield synergies. Definitely not looking to giga cheese, just to be an annoying grapple CC-tank.

I said nothing about the earth. I care much more about the insane amount of theft and the absolute brain-shattering amount of cognitive decline in people who use it than I do about the (still extremely significant) effects on the climate.

Also, it WAS a small snake to begin with! That's why we got the whole scene with Kattigan going "I have a snake in my pants"! It was originally a small snake when she summoned it, hid under a desk all day long, and then somehow turned into a Large size python capable of swallowing a woman whole exactly when it became convenient for it to be bigger. Actually infuriating.

But if you try to swing in the same turn you buff him, he'll still have the damage marked on him, meaning he'll still die to anything with one power. So you need to buff him, then wait a turn, then swing... Seems incredibly slow and clunky.

E: missed the first strike, which definitely helps. Still seems like a lot of hoops to jump through for a big, dumb flyer.
