The novelty Grinch cereal being essentially just green Kixs with the Lucky Charms marshmallow hearts is very funny to me. Was throwing in a Santa hat or Max's face too resource intensive?
(Yes I am a grown adult who buys myself novelty cereals. So sue me the colors make me happy.)

Now normally I would not dare besmirch the legacy of a proud patriarch such as yourself, especially during a season of giving so pockmarked by mourning.
But nonetheless I have begun to question whether the death of dear Grandma may in fact be more than the random Yuletide calamity it appears to be.

Draconic Codex is out and I wrote the new lore/stats for the Horned Dragon, so go check it!
I made it so that Horned Dragons shed fragments of their horns and then throw them as projectiles against enemies. I was inspired by Gambit using Kinetic Card in Marvel vs Capcom, thank you very much

So I like how eccentric the breath weapons for the new dragons in #pathfinder2e become the further away from DND they get.
"This is a red dragon it breathes fire."
"Well this is a Wish Dragon it breathes contentment then cruelly takes it away leaving you emotionally devastated"
"This is a red dragon it breathes fire."
"Well this is a Wish Dragon it breathes contentment then cruelly takes it away leaving you emotionally devastated"
![Breath of Loss [two-actions] (arcane, mental) The dragon breathes a
warm, gentle breeze of mist that creates the feeling of when
deepest desires are achieved. As the breeze dissipates,
the feeling of loss overwhelms creatures’ senses, dealing
11d6 mental damage in a 30-foot cone (DC 29 Will save).
A creature that critically fails its save is also consumed
with the memory of the moment and is stunned 1. The wish
dragon can’t use Breath of Loss again for 1d4 rounds.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6sxwjtkgrclgyaiail7x44e3/bafkreihrqbnxqqaboruz36d6ri26qyxjmiq65gfynnj5z4j5d7yqwap3na@jpeg)

This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”
