Briar/Redamancy

Perfect, sounds great. Thank you.

I just wanted to make sure you were good with how I ordered combat.

I figured Briar was not expecting the armor to attack.
That was the main reason it had suprise.

Oh absolutely! Thanks for checking. She was not expecting armor. She would have been looking for conventional "traps" if anything. Sentient armor was nowhere near her radar, lol!

We are lucky it didn't crit...

Also!
Do you, in character and/or out of character, have any inkling about what is going on with your itchy hand?

Soooooo unbelievably lucky.

I, OOC, presume the fact that the coin was not dipped through the gross jar on the desk is the source of the rash. The items are probably enchanted and the wash is what removes it after purchase. Like the pin alarm on an expensive coat at the store. "Cleansing" the hourglass in the jar is probably her way of consenting to an item leaving the wagon after a purchase.

Briar, on the other hand (pun not intended), hasn't quite made that leap yet.

You are pretty much right about the coin.
The item is cursed. The curse wasn't washed away.
You will need to figure out a way to remove the curse.

If I remember correctly, you are not a fan of the psionic so Soulknife archetype is out of the running. With that in mind, I went Phantom. If, however, I am remembering incorrectly, I would prefer to do Souliknife.

Given how things went in the mansion, Briar wants to harness more quiet capabilities (psychic). But I'll also settle for her having been impacted by the amount of death in there giving her a tether to spirits (since she rolled pretty well talking to them) instead.

I went with average hit point advancement since I realized that is what I did for level 2.

I do not have a problem with the Psychic name or abilities.
I have just DMed so many games were players think that can do over powered thinks with their abilities just because they are Psychic.
It has kind of ruined it for me.

Jerinvar is Arcane Trickster.
I have never played with an Phantom Rogue. It could be interesting to see.
The Trinket feature at level 9 fits very well.

It is ultimatly up to you!

I totally understand this.

I also thought the trinkets at level 9 thing was very fitting for Briar. I’ll just stick with Phantom. It’s a subclass I don’t think I have ever seen anyone roll with. Plus I like the dichotomy of happy-fairy ghostly-rogue. I like to think Rose and Thorn had an effect on her. And even though they’re laid to rest, they’re still kinda with her.
