They’ll say ‘Donald, how are you so good at business?’ , and I’ll say ‘You know, I know, and everybody else knows, especially my uncle involved in the nuclear aspect of things.’ So here we are, and here I go, to where?

Man. The Phalar Aluve is my favorite sword. I’m probably a bit biased because I’m running a Paladin/Bard, but the 1d4 plus to attack rolls and Cha, Wis, and Int saving throws while it’s singing, has saved my bacon more times than I can count.
