It makes sense that she gets the vibe but it doesn't bother her. It sells her closeness with and acceptance of Laudna for who she is more than not getting it at all.

Episode one has her admitting Laudna is Scary Scary so it's not like she doesn't see it. She just doesn't care.

NowonSA: Jul 19, 2013; I am the sexiest poster in the world!

Chiming in on the feat vs. stat increase talk, I feel like you could give players both a feat and an ABI increase every 4 levels and it wouldn't make the characters terribly overpowered. If you want to play it safe for combat, make those free feats non-combat only (Actor and such).

We gotta be getting Travis in the mix again this episode, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing what he brings to the table. My heart wants to say he's coming in as one of Percy and Vex's kids, since I can only see that leading to lots of fun times. Percy the IV is of course the ideal, but I'd take any of those rascals really.

It's been about 30+ years since the end of campaign 1-- I imagine they could do it. I know that campaign two had a "no direct connections" rule, but who knows if three has that.

I would hazard not, given that Orym knows Keyleth and of VM, and Laudna�s from Whitestone at the very least. Depends on how direct they want to be with it, but I don�t think it�s as firm as it was for C2.

Paracaidas: Sep 24, 2016; Consistently Tedious!

I really just want a few months of increasingly obvious references by NPCs to local figures who must be Travis, only to have it be Matt again... with a few "describe what [table]'s character sees" prompts as fakeouts with guest stars.

I would hazard a guess that if Travis is tied closely to C1, it probably overlaps with Legends in some way

My only hope is that Ashton remains the closest thing the party has to a rogue. The only things I know about DND mechanics come from this show and Google, I just think it would be funny.

Or that he's playing a werewolf. Pachydan werewolf rogue.

He wouldn't be a werewolf then; he'd be a Pachywolf or something, "were" being an old word for man. Or rather, the old word was "wer" from the latin "vir" for man, apparently. Latin also apparently pronounced v's with a w sound, so it'd be more like wir, which then became corrupted over time and served as the root form for the word describing a man wolf :eng101:

I'm not placing any bets that we get Travis this episode. I certainly HOPE we do, but I could see him wanting to push it out some for the sheer unique flavor of it.
