For the record the slog is far less painful on audiobook. The narrators for the WOT audiobooks are great!

It’s interesting that the weight of evidence and repeated ‘rules’ of the setting that exist create these amazing moments when main characters turns those rules on their head. There are many examples but it is amazingly powerful and always done sensitively and powerfully.

Book 9 contains possibly the most spectacular scene in the series. Don’t want to spoil it but it is probably the most momentous of the moments of awesome I talked about. That said, a lot of the book builds up to this. You might find some elements slower - though I think worth sticking with it...

The principle being that the extra attack ability of the Valor bard and the Warmagic of the EK will allow you to swap two attacks into cantrips for each attack action instead of one? Sounds plausible. You’d be missing out on your 3rd attack by splitting the class that way and a feat so it...

It has circa 2750 named characters across hundreds of hours of text. Frankly someone was gonna get cut. Understandable that it’s Thom on the basis that his main role in the early books is to prepare them for a journey in a series where there obviously isn’t time for an extended hours long...

Nothing wrong with critiquing something. The issue is when people say it won’t work and never will because [insert opinion here]. Were there many people who thought Sigil was a finished article? There were lots who wanted to see what it could get to? Something worth hoping for.

Wow. Just watched all of episode 4 on a proper TV and not my phone. I feel like the series has just hit its first of what I like to call ‘moments of awesome’. Parts of the story where all the details come together into these epic climaxes of storytelling. WoT has many of them. It will be...

Yeah, just seen the dual duel with Galad and Gawain. Great scene - both funny and cool. Really embodies his cocky bravado and desire to see pompous folks taken down a peg or two.

She was never explicitly claimed to be an alternative Amyrlin though at that point. More a nasty piece of work rather than a direct rival. Yes, I was glad they selected that piece to put in. I feel like there is a conscious decision to make her more human and likeable in the series than in the...

I don’t really understand what you mean that only one character can have anything happen? Can you say more? It feels to me like they have their own elements going on.

You’re right. The two level 2 slots were taken up by Spiritual Weapon and Suggestion. The former because it’s intrinsic to the War Cleric 6th level ability and Suggestion because it’s a historical power that all Lolth clerics have. That said I could always switch the 6th level ability to let Web...

If it was Netflix this is the point they would be canceling things - just after it got really good 😂😂😂 Hopefully Amazon will hold their nerve.

I’m definitely warming to some of the short cuts and scenes added to covey information about the world convincingly without hammering you over the head with it. For instance the S1 episode 4 stilling of Logain while off screen in the books and different managed to introduce Logain, the concept...

Feats definitely. They add a lot of character to the characters. Substantial differences and are the most fun part of progression (aside from maybe spells). I’d then pick Multi-classing because it helps people create the character they envision in their head. Lastly magic items. I’ve played...

Yeah he’s a fun character. Though he disappears in the books too. As far as we know he’s dead. Killed by a Myrdraal in the farmhouse episode 3 I think.

So I equally hated it at first but on second run through I’ve mellowed. I think they were trying to create the ‘fear of causing harm’ part to Perrin. The savagery losing control that he has to keep in check. Plus it made the Way of the Leaf sections more poweful. I don’t think it was necessary...

I think he’ll return in Tear which is the point he really starts to do stuff. He’s obviously been downgraded as a character. Understandable.

Wow, reading reviews of episode 4 and people are really gushing about it. Very clever to have the same actor play all his ancestors. I had to watch the scene of Collam Daan falling (even though I’m at work) and I must say it’s pretty spectacular design. Exactly as I image from the books. Lots...

Some clever bits I liked… - Gaebril convincing those around him that he and Morgase have been in love for a decade using compulsion even though he has only been released a few months before. There’s a little pause with Leanne Shariff when he compels her before she answers. Very subtle, very...

I’ve been looking at Cleric Domains. Considering a variance of War Domain for Lolth with a few modified spells. What do you think about… 3 Speak with Animals (Spiders), Shield of Faith, Spiritual Weapon, Suggestion 5 Dispel Magic, Clairvoyance 7 Summon Demon, Giant Insect (spider) 9 Insect...
