Daishain,

I'd like to choose the Blade Master feat (Unearted Arcana) for Fay. First, it's Unearthed Arcana and not exactly core, will you allow it? Also, I have a question regarding rules. It says he gains a reaction where he can assume a parrying stance. Can Fay then attack, use a reaction, and a bonus action? Can he still move doing all that?

I'll allow it.

A reaction is simply a type of action that normally occurs during someone else's turn. Casting Shield, Feather Fall, and a couple other spells uses your reaction. So does making an opportunity attack

Bear in mind that because of this, in any particular turn, you can only benefit from either the second or the third portion of that feat.

And no, none of that impacts your ability to move or use other actions.

Daishain,

Got it all and thanks for the explanation. I understand about using the second and third reaction abilities. Fay is updated.

Well, it appears we are now at the point of moving forward. Yet it came by way of hurt feelings and trust needing to be rebuilt. I will make sure to do what I can to prove it wasn't a mistake for Geoffroy becoming battle leader both In Character and Out of Character.

The question of the eggs is fairly important, as well if there are any other hatchlings. It has, if memory serves, been agreed that killing them would be seen as immoral by many but do we take them with us? Do we simply leave them behind where Tiamat's followers could snag them up for later use?

Should we have the party explore the rest of the cave system?

Also, I have activated my first gem. I am admittedly curious to see how it might be put to use.

Daishain, I also have an observation on the subject of character update to make: I just realized that even though bards get two 3rd-level spell slots for a total of 9 spells a day (4 at level one, 3 at level two and so 2 at level three), they actually only have 8 spells learned in total.

That would mean Nyzahr actually has to choose between Major Image and Clairvoyance as her only 3rd level spell and she would then get 2 slots for that particular spell, right ?

Also, on the subject of skills, would her expert skills be raised for example from, say, +7 for a skill like Stealth as a level 4 bard (+3 Dexterity and double her proficiency of +2) to +9 at level 5, following the same logic (+3Dex, and double her new proficiency bonus of +3 = 3 + 6 = +9) ?

Just making sure I get this whole 5e-thing right, here…

She actually doesn't have to pick a third level spell at all. She can cast 1st and 2nd level spells at third level. So theoretically she could add another first or second level spell. Remember, we know are spells innately, so we can have different numbers of spells per level and use them as needed. 5e is different and I think better, I like it a lot.

And you are correct on the skills.

That is correct, but it should also be noted that each time you level up as a Bard, you have the option to trade a spell known out for another of any level you can cast. So, potentially, you could keep both Major Image and Clairvoyance, swapping one of them in for a lower level spell. Whether you wish to do so or not is certainly up to you, though I do request that you keep Clairvoyance at least, since you've already used that spell.

As to skills, you've got the math right.

If the amount of detail I am providing is surprising anyone, lets just say I have found myself alight a bit more with creativity given how I found someone able to post more detail in a way I haven't found in a long time. It is actually really nice to find myself able to let loose a bit more.
