Athena, I'm not a very good trap detector yet, but Talia is an amazing scout.  Letting you stay within 30 feet is a compromise... it ought to be 50 or 60.  Each ten feet back makes it 5% more likely that Talia will find your foes before they find you, enabling you to ambush them, rather than the other way around.<br/><br/>If a rockfall cuts her off from you, she's the least likely of all of you to be caught by enemies until you can rejoin one another.  Not that I think, with two such husky fighters, that any rockfall would keep them apart long.
