Potions aren't something Phaelenopsys would think to buy; he prefers to eat and rest rather than rely on magic if he can help it.<br/><br/>Also, his Perception is a paltry +2 from Wis mod, no ranks.<br/><br/>ETA: Speak with Master is 5th level, so Ringo can't speak to Mera yet. :( They do have an Empathic Link, though, so if he freaks out after noticing a trap or whatever, she'll know something is bothering him.
