The way I see it I have four options when players meet an unfamiliar enemy:

1. "You see a large muscular toad-like beast with sharp claws and teeth".
2. "You see a slaad, which is [lore description of slaadi]".
3. "You see a creature which matches the entry for 'Slaad' in the book you just found".
4. "Make a nature check, okay a 4, you don't know what this creature is".

None of these sound perfect. I want players to understand the rich world they're exploring, but giving them info their character wouldn't know seems too easy. What should I do?

One issue is that enemies don't tend to tell you their own species name, especially if they can't talk. So the players end up getting a bit confused trying to remember all these unnamed creatures. And if they encounter the same creature again, I have to repeat a longer description rather than just saying "it's a slaad".

I'm using AutoCAD 2027 LT, and Mleaders are behaving strangely. I've set their justification to 'Left', but after I edit the text, the mleader's position changes. A shorter text string moves the mleader right, as if it is centering it. Any ideas what is causing this? It means I have to adjust every mleader back to the correct position any time I edit its contents.

I've bought all of Vikhana's rituals, and somehow have a fruit left. I'm not sure how.

1. Why do I sometimes miss the mushtroll fight and shadow self fight when going through those areas in Grandery? Is it just random?
2. What's the best way to fight the orange glowing enemies? They seem to shrug off everything including even clash and throw sometimes.
3. Why does Arcana sometimes clash and sometimes not?
4. How am I meant to fight the woman on the ship? Sometimes I find her easy, and other times she gets into a cycle of doing those attacks with the mini-cutscene before and I'll lose ~80% health.
5. Is there any benefit to taking the middle path through Grandery? i.e. not mushtroll or beach dragon.
6. What am I meant to do when the white eldritch things spawn multiple lasers and keep juggling me until I die?

My daughter is 3, and bath times are becoming more of an issue because she hates getting water in her eyes. I'm starting to question what's going on.

Every time basically the same thing happens: whatever method we've agreed on, she will immediately sabotage it, get water in her eyes and scream at me.

She's a physically capable kid so I don't think any of these methods are beyond her, nor does it seem like she's so stressed by the anticipation of water that she can't do them. She's perfectly happy and calm, then it's like every time she's surprised.

So far I've tried everything I can think of:

• Practicing keeping our eyes closed.
• Showing her how to wipe water out of her eyes.
• Playing splashy games to get her used to the water.
• Giving her a flannel to cover her eyes.
• Getting her to tilt her head back.
• Lying her down in the bath.
• Using a plastic visor (which is more resistant to sabotage but she hates putting it on).

So I'm wondering am I missing some developmental reason she's doing this? Our bath times are otherwise fun and I feel bad she's having such a horrible time with this.
