Seconding the question of if we have to stick to our class Bonds or if we can make more?<br/><br/>Calanthe is a very great-power-comes-great-responsibility sort of hero, to the point where she basically doesn't have a "this is not my problem" button in her arsenal. It goes about like this:<br/><br/>1. Is it a real problem?<br/>2. Do I have the time, resources and skills to solve this problem, or am I the only one available with something that approaches the time, resources or skills to solve the problem?<br/><br/>If the answer to those is both Yes, then It Is My Problem. To not choose is also a choice, and it's usually the wrong one!<br/><br/>Consequently she spends an awful lot of time getting in and out of trouble, which leaves plenty of room for her to be on the other end of "I've fought with X" or "X owes me a favor because I saved their bacon" or even "X ruined everything by accident" bonds.<br/><br/>For our bards' bonds, I will say that as a cook who was pressed into becoming a hero and discovered a powerful draconic lineage, there is definitely a fairytale quality to Calanthe's story that may or may not be bard catnip. And she finds fame immensely useful (people have this odd habit of trusting you if they've heard what a hero you are!) so she may have paid one of you to write songs about her.<br/><br/>For Aubry's bonds, how does constantly trying to kill, cook and eat nature place on the "respects nature/does not respect nature" scale, out of curiosity? Because she hasn't given up on being a cook.<br/><br/>For my own class bonds:<br/><br/>_____’s misguided behavior endangers their very soul!<br/><br/>Calanthe is not really the<em>judgey</em>kind of paladin? She's a Dragon Knight! Lead by example and inspire people to their best selves! That being said, this one is probably Excellence. Trying to surpass the noble lineage of a coven of jumped-up low-lives that made pacts with demons? Honey, you're fine how you are! You really don't need to prove you're better than them... and trying to will probably end really, really badly.<br/><br/>_____  has stood by me in battle and can be trusted completely.<br/><br/>Really anybody capable of standing by someone in battle could be this one, but I would prefer it for a more long-standing association. "Trusted completely" is a lot, after all! Maybe even someone with similarly humble origins, an old friend from the pre-adventuring days? Maybe someone with a functioning "this is not our problem" sensor, who she can rely upon to be the voice of "things will work themselves out, really they will, trust me"?<br/><br/>I respect the beliefs of _____ but hope they will someday see the true way.<br/><br/>This will be either one of the more morally flexible (or heroism-apathetic) members of the party, or someone that's afraid to let their hair down who needs to learn to enjoy themselves a little more. There are limits to that, of course; I can't see her trying to set Auri up with cute stableboys (an oath is an oath!). Coaxing Thaialie away from her studies a little, on the other hand...<br/><br/>_____ is a brave soul, I have much to learn from them.<br/><br/>Do you also enjoy recklessly getting into trouble for the sake of others?
