Monologue through a stone of farspeech or a ward-tripped illusion spell.

I'm convinced this was the primary reason D&D3E had so many ways to speak through an animal companion or construct.

When I DM-ed, I used them to (attempt to) deliver foolishly informative villainous monologues.

Mostly I just lost villain companions to fireball, of course.

Hell, a big ol' balcony above the party.

My DM understood this. As a bonus, by the end of the battle, everyone had taken so much fall damage.

Fate's solution to this is so good. It's so nice not to leave to chance the important binding glue of the party, while still making it part of gameplay.

I use Fate's character/ party rules as house rules for every game system I GM.

If FOSS counts, there's going to be a ton of Paladins in this party.

i'm over here on saturday night with a cat on my lap crocheting and culling weak gods, apparently.

I took the liberty of updating that for you.

Either way, keep rocking.

I love how the party gravitated and dragged "Wheel Well" along, in Dimension 20: Skyward Ho.

DM Brennan is rarely caught off guard, but Maxwell's younger brother being named "wheel well" felt like an improv moment.

The way the party made sure to drag "wheel well" with them as long as possible - forcing Brennan to keep saying "wheel well" - is just adorable.

Is there any evidence for that?

Yes. Cats can go into seizures from popular flea medicines.

And the lab issuing the fake results is based in the US :(

Of course it is. :(

topical flea treatments were regulated by the EPA until very recently because it was assumed they didn't enter the bloodstream.

Yes. Then I guess someone noticed that most cats lick their whole bodies every day.

It is tragic how many pets have suffered for that mistake, if it was a mistake.

Some cats do not handle flea medicine well.
