I can’t find where to change this. Do any of y’all know? I’ve had the same settings for 23 years now!!!

Awesome, thanks! Done, so please add me.
Dang, how many people may have tried reaching out to me over the years and I just didn’t know. Well, I’ll make up for it in the next 23 years!
Cheers,

I kinda vaguely recall trying to say something to you privately some time ago and wondering why I couldn't do it. I don't remember what it was. I probably just said it in one of these threads.

Hey @FitzTheRuke
Can we assume that Gimlak played around and inspected (I.e. attuned) the giantess’ necklace last short rest? I forgot about it but my character wouldn’t have. Can you tell us what it does and if there are no objection and assuming it is useful to him, any issue if he dons it?

Sure! The bad news is, it counts as a Holy Symbol (Amulet) to Ogremoch, Prince of Elemental Evil Earth.
The good news is, it is a magic item that gives you Mold Earth (Xanathar's Guide) Cantrip at-will, and you always have the NEW PHB Summon Elemental (Earth option only) prepared, and can cast it without a Spell Slot (at L4) once per Long Rest. (The Necklace can, in this case, fill-in for the 400gp Material Component, which is not consumed at any rate).
Here are those spells if you want to cut-n-paste them:
Mold Earth. Cantrip (S): Action. You manipulate dirt or stone that you can see within 30ft. Pick 1: A) You instantly excavate 5ft cube of loose dirt & deposit it 5ft away; B) You cause shapes, colors, or both to appear on a 5ft cube of dirt or stone, spell out words, create images, or shape patterns; C) You cause a 5ft space to become (or stop being) difficult terrain. Max 2 effects at a time, lasting 1 hour. You can dismiss them as an action.
Summon Elemental. Conjuration (VSM-40pp dirt vial) L4 Slot: Action. An Earth Elemental manifests in an unoccupied space that you can see within 90ft & disappears when it drops to 0 HP or when the spell ends in 1 hour (Concentration). It acts after you on your Initiative. It is an ally & obeys your verbal commands (no action). If you don’t issue any, It takes the Dodge action & uses its movement to avoid danger.
Earth Elemental Statblock. Medium Elemental, Neutral.
AC: 11+Slot level.
HP 10+(10 per Slot level). (Usually 50)
Resist: Piercing & Slashing.
Immune: Poison, Exhaustion, Paralyzed, Petrified, Poisoned.
Speed 40ft; Burrow 40ft.
STR(18)+4 DEX(15)+2 CON(17)+3 INT(4)-3 WIS(10)+0 CHA(16)+3
Darkvision 60ft. Languages: Primordial & the languages you know.
Actions: Slam. 5ft Melee Attack: 1d20+(Your Spell Attack) for 1d10+4+Slot level (Usually 1d10+8 Bludgeoning. You can make two Attacks.

Hey @Kobold Stew,
I think that the colonel is the only other caster in the group with 4th level slots. Gimlak already has mould earth, but he’s not a frontliner, so more likely to maintain concentration on the summoned elemental. There’s the air vs earth thing at play too, but I don’t think that matters much. I can go either way, so if the colonel wants the necklace, it’s yours. If not, Gimlak will don it. Lmk ok?

Thanks!
Does the new version of summon elemental use concentration?
I’m assuming it does but don’t know for sure.

Yes, that's what my (C) means after the 1-hour duration. I edited it so that it says (Concentration), but I didn't do it before Taran copied it to the treasure thread.
The Colonel would certainly use it (he's not that useful in combat), and he's happy to summon earth elementals (not against his religion, as it were). If it's okay, he'll put it on, draping it over his collar. We;ll see how we go.
