Let's head this off. Amongst its other definitions, "Privy" is a slightly archaic English word for a public bathroom.

Let's cover this too: Konsi is a trickery domain cleric - the level 4 trickery domain spells are polymorph and dimension door.


Konsi, asking her to become a bunnygirl on your first date is VERY forward.

    My language might be a little bit confusing here (I scripted it when it was late at night, and I don't get a lot of words)

    What Konsi is saying in panel 2 is that if they just "vanished" her friends would become suspicious and try to figure out where they'd gone. However, because they've gone into the bathroom first, her friends will believe they're just in the bathroom - at least for a while. This will buy them time to sneak away.

    In panel 3, Konsi is implying that her friends know that Konsi can cast Dimension Door, but also that they know Konsi can't extricate Razira using it, because Razira is too big. They should be left believing that the pair are both in the bathroom for quite some time.

    In 5e, they really removed the majority of the mechanical implications that come with the decision between "medium" and "small" size categories, especially when they reworked small lineages to have 30ft movement speed.

    The main ones that remain are heavy weapon restrictions, and "you can walk through the spaces of hostile creatures that are 2 size categories smaller/larger than you" meaning small and large creatures can pass through each other's spaces.

    However, if you're planning to play a caster class who gets access to dimension door, it's worth bearing this in mind. The restriction that you can't bring along people who have a size category larger than you is a genuine drawback of being small.

      If they think about it enough, yes - but Konsi's never used this combo before this point, and it's not intuitive to a lot of people.

    Wait, I thought your choice of God determined what domain you were? Isn't tymora the god of forges?

    Edit: I may be stupid, but I'm also a dolt

      In 5e, the domains are largely "suggestions" - you can technically play any domain with any god. (The PHB even goes as far as to say "suggested domains" rather than "domains" in the table of gods.) It's often good to try and pick a domain that aligns with your religion, because that's good for narrative consistency. Konsi's holy calling could be summarized as "fake it 'til you make it", so Trickery's a pretty good fit for her.

      Tymora is the goddess of luck and good fortune. While trickery isn't all she's about, it's a pretty key component of gambling - and the "fortune" domain was removed in 5e. The PHB suggests trickery as her domain (and that's why I picked it at chargen.)

      If Konsi were given a free choice, she'd almost certainly pick either "Life" or "Peace" as her domain - but Tymora's very canny, and chose something that'd prove to be very useful in her adventures.
