my tiefling druid's favorite beast shape is a giant spider, because she had one as a pet growing up. She's absolutely baffled when NPCs are scared of her in that form

I love it! The druid in my DM game seems to have become fond of turning into an octopus, but she’s also known to turn into a swarm of insects for fun.

My elf cleric is nature domain, so she’s rather druid-like. She has the Primal Savagery cantrip, which means she can spontaneously manifest animal teeth or claws to attack enemies. It’s ... alarming, at least to the poor dwarf monk she found herself adventuring with.

Yessssss. Our pal j'mon is playing the long game. Or they’re an awkward dork with romance, despite being hundred of years old. In which case the two of them are a perfect match.

Could be both. I think they’d be a good match, they’ll both live a long time, both can shapeshift, both very powerful, both leaders who guard their people ... this is a good idea. I’m suddenly very into the rarepair here.

I…. I never realized how much I love the idea of keyleth/j'mon until this moment. Thank you.

Listen J’mon will live for centuries and so will Keyleth hopefully, J’mon is totally building a basis for something later on. Maybe they’ll hook up in like, 500 years, who knows. 

That or J’mon is not very good at flirting and I find that hilarious.

top five drinks, alcoholic or otherwise

So I actually don’t drink alcohol anymore - it reacted badly with Effexor, and I was never a big drinker to begin with - so I’m going with all non-alcoholic.

1. Cherry Coke Zero. The stuff of life, literally. I’m trying to (very slowly) replace it with tea, but it’s hard, because it’s SO GOOD.

2.  Tazo Passion Fruit Iced Tea. I know, I know, Tazo’s terrible or whatever, but I love this flavor.

3. The Orange Sprite Zero I make in those awesome Coke Freestyle machines. It’s better than any pre-made orange soda.

4. The Cherry Limeade flavored faux-Crystal Light from Target. I live on that stuff when it’s a bad idea to drink anything caffeinated.

5. Milk. For real. I’ll be super sad if I ever get to be lactose intolerant.

  ok i’m trying to watch critical role but i haven’t...

If you’re past the duegars and the underdark, but still pretty early, you might be on Trial of the Take? They fight an ice dragon and a rakshasa (tiger man who can teleport/turn invisible, so that might be the disappearing thing?). The arc starts at around episode 17. I might be able to help if you can remember anything else.

aa i just checked and i think thats the one thanks!!

My changeling rogue was posing as a half elf, and was often the one asked to scout ahead of the mostly human group in dark areas. Changelings do not have darkvision. This one, however, does have +11 to deception. No one caught on.

FRGDFJHGFGFD HOLY SHIT. DECEPTION IS THE BEST ABILITY IN DND TBQH. I WISH YOUR CHANGELING THE BEST OF LUCK IN ALL THEIR FUTURE ENDEAVOURS.

My half-orc pirate bard Barney has +10 to intimidation and one time he yelled at an enemy ship’s crew so fiercely that they all lay down their weapons and surrendered ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

send me a fact about your dnd character and i’ll reply with one about mine!

It’s a reference to both keyleth’s elephant rampage, and the whole vex/percy thing. Everyone (except for percy) heard vex’s confession during the ritual, but they’re all sort of tiptoeing around it, including the two people in question. If you’re not familiar with the saying, the ‘elephant in the room’ is something that everyone knows about, but don’t mention. So Percy and vex’s feelings for each other are the elephant in the room in this situation.

And more elaborate answers! I didn’t even think about the fact that everyone heard Vex’ confession. That gives this whole thing a new layer, and a new level of awesomeness.

Still cutting for spoilers.

 “Random theory/thoughts about the events of the last two episodes that...”

Just to expand on this, keyleth leveled up in the same episode and got ninth level spells, giving her access to true resurrection. It was probably a long time coming, but it does give the players another option on the off chance that the initial resurrection ritual failed.

*nods*

And Matt was very much pushing the idea of a different resurrection before Pike’s arrival - probably just for drama, since they all knew Ashley was there, but possibly to also introduce the idea that this ritual is now not the only option they have. Though I do wonder how he would handle that, if it did come up ... he’s created this ritual to give resurrection a bit of a question, and some additional consequences, so I would think he might add some wrinkles to true resurrection as well. If only to keep the Reddit assholes from yelling at him more about how easy he’s making things. :-P
