i still cant get over brennan's staunch refusal to honor gilear's nat 20 charisma check. i swear he had that fungal infection story locked and ready to go and just couldnt not tell it
I feel like in this instance the house rule where nat 20 is an automatic success only applies to player characters. Gilear would have gotten a modified 19 and I think the DC to successfully hit on a woman like Sklonda is a bit higher than that.
He did honor the Nat 20. It is to give him the best possible result. The thing is that Gilear is just super bad, so the result just seems like a middling success. Consider it like if you had a Nat 20 to persuade a king to give you everything in his kingdom. The best possible result that is realistic wouldn't be that he gives you his kingdom. It would be that he doesn't chop your head off for threatening him.
@@FoxerBoxerNaaniwa I bow down to my greater Tolkien Nerd superior. Fr though I don't get it? xD I was saying thranduïl basically just because he's a king of woodelves (though technically Sindarin himself)
@@MattFyrm Oh, Gilear is more like Glorfindel in my mind because like Gilear he started out as a guy who existed to perform a very specific task in the story but ultimately wasn’t that important who was gradually expanded. But unlike Gilear whose role was expanded in the ongoing story, Glorfindel’s backstory was expanded and he was actually important in the First Age. Oh and like Gilear he fully died and was sent back.
"What I'm going to offer you for dinner tonight is an order of garlic knots that mistakenly came with a pizza I found." is maybe the funniest thing I've ever heard
I never realized it before, but his fungal infection story implies he only has the one pair and (unsurprisingly) can't afford to get a pair of non mildewy shoes

I feel like that was a nat 20 for Gilear 😂
A nat 20 for gilear is knowing he needs to leave the room which is what happened after that
Nat 20 meant that Sklonda didn't ask him to leave dinner 😂

"A pizza I found" Is such an oddly yet beautifully specific wording.
Elrond but Unhappily Divorced is one of the greatest character choices
More like Thranduïl but unhappily divorced right?
@@MattFyrmI wanna get even more granular and obscure. Glorfindel but unhappily divorced

That line killed me 💀
I'm a little ashamed to say I'd probably actually say smash if asked smash or pass on gilear
hey, no judgement here, plenty of people would agree with you
I'm not ashamed at all to say I would.
Don’t be ashamed. Look at the women he’s managed to bed.
@@matthewgallaway3675and how many stayed? 😅
@@paragonjones13 first of all: the hottest one
Second of all: that’s not what we’re discussing
If Gilear isn't president by the end of the Senior Year Campaign, we riot.
"What I'm going to offer you all for dinner is an order of garlic knots that mistakenly came with a pizza I found."
That's pure sad genius.

I'm going to sleep to this, praise gilear
I can't look at yogurt without thinking about Gilear anymore
everything reminds me of her
I love Brennan's deadpan face, he's so disappointed. Very Gilear energy
