Pallemi is right and he is so brave for speaking the truth.

Quite enjoyed that detail as well, being someone who can also be sidetracked by such tangents xD

Over all quite enjoyed the writeup, too! Pallemi is definitely high on my list of favorite iconics based on mannerisms, personality, and general outlook. Just wanting to do as much good as he can!

I would 1000% enjoy an Odd-Couples style montage between him and Sepri in the library and their banter, too ;P

He really puts the "Pal" in Pallemi!

That was a fun story, and it answered a question I had about how Engraving Strike works!

This was a really good fiction. I really enjoy this Iconic. I need more Paizo Fiction!!!!

Tis Glorious!


Looking forward to this book as I have been waiting for it since it was announced, but really would prefer the paperback edition. Any idea when that will be available for preorder? I have a voucher I would like to use before it expires next month

Now that I've got the book, I'm very confused by Pallemi performing Swiping Trace even though that feat (along with Engraving Trace) can't be used with a glaive.

Both feats involve the subordinate actions of Striking and then Tracing.

Strikes with a glaive require that it be held in two hands while Tracing requires that you have a free hand.

So Pallemi would have to remove one hand from his glaive midway through the activity, but he can't do that because you aren't allowed to insert actions into the middle of an activity.

So unless some well-established rules have been changed, I don't see how this is possible.

Maybe he traces it with his nose.

Maybe I'm Gen Con tired, but this is hilarious.

Maybe it's a Smithing Weapons loophole. You can pick your nose after all. ;)

And I suspect that by now you are actually Gen Con exhausted. Be well. :)
