You find a pair of duplicating chopstics. When you crack them open, you have 2 pairs which can then be cracked open as normal.

Rather, one pair is normal and one pair further duplicates. The duplicating one appears identical to the normal one, sometimes resulting in extra pairs of chopsticks.

Assuming we’re still doing this, I’d like to go over cooperating on mounted combat, which I really should have done before the dragon encounter, rather than spring it up on you.
In general, I don’t expect there to be much conflict because we have almost identical approaches to battle. We both first weigh whether it is possible to avoid fighting at all by either diplomacy or just ignoring the problem. We then estimate the chances of failure, and if it’s higher than about 30% we run. Then try to find the way of attacking that is most favorable. You like stealth first attacks and I like taking the initiative to have the first strike, which is similar. If we see that we are taking damage, or it is riskier than we thought, we retreat and find a different way of approaching the battle. In short, our battle strategies could be described by the words “I fear death.” I do want to point out that by now both characters have extremely high hit points, especially Tracy, and combined with healing powers, we could be more aggressive and sustain a few hits. Just do things how you normally would, and my only requests are that you be considerate of the fact that (like Tracy) all of my strong attacks are melee and require close range, and also try to communicate battle strategies before engaging in them especially because Paladin spells, which affect both rider and mount, can make a difference.
I do want to warn you that according to the Nightmare Tactics guide the Ethereal Jaunt is a full round action, meaning she would need to come into the material realm in one round, and then attack in another round, so she can’t stealth attack like that although her rider could attack the same round.
Now here’s where I want you to accommodate my character in mounted combat. When one or more of Trumpaladin’s protectorates – soldiers, citizens of Port Barry, Fae, or certain other NPCs – are under attack or at risk of attack, Trumpaladin will draw fire towards himself and away from them, as a way of protecting them, completely disregarding risk. Especially when he created the danger to them in the first place. This would mean no stealth, retreat, or etherealness during that period of time, lasting until the danger has passed or Trumpaladin is out of action. If you want to look at the motive idealistically, it is a devotion to his duty to protect certain others. If you want to look at it cynically, it is a desire to protect reputation and avoid being seen as a coward.
Please just say that Tracy goes along with this. Cauchemars are creatures of pure hate that do not fear death, so why wouldn’t one attack relentlessly when its rider wants to? Or maybe she recognizes that it’s extremely important to her flashy that he gets himself killed rather than avoiding being seen as a bad leader, so she stays in combat until Trumpaladin is knocked unconscious, then Ethereal Jaunts to someplace else to protect herself and her unborn child. Please remember that Tracy has ~172 HP in Cauchemar form. She has more HP than a young adult Dragon, and nearly as much as an adult dragon. She has more than twice as much HP in that form as Trumpaladin. So let him get killed (or reduced to so low HP he’s satisfied) then approach the battle as you like.

>Or maybe she recognizes that it’s extremely important to her flashy that he gets himself killed rather than avoiding being seen as a bad leader
She simply would never think that way.
Nonetheless, she'll cooperate in any charge. Just don't charge headfirst into a firehose full of acid before the fight has even begun, and take a strategic strike first.

Why not? How would she think?
If you're referring to the black dragon fight, that fight had already begun.
>strategic strike
The strategy is to hit it with a sword and reduce its HP until it is dead. 20's are critical hits that can severe limbs

She doesn't value image the same way he does, and ultimately cares more about his wellbeing than his honor; despite that, she'd still obey to her best understanding.

Oh that's not an issue. She doesn't need to value honor. Just "he really cares about this weird thing that I don't care about, but I care that he cares, so I'll let him have this - until his dumbass gets himself knocked out, then I'm taking over"

>Ethereal Jaunt is a full round action
The link I showed you was largely in the context of 5e. Etherealness as an SU ability isn't exactly the same as Ethereal Stride.
Idk how long it takes though. Wiki for 3.5e says it functions just like the spell and can be used "at will", but doesn't sau how long it takes. Casting time for the Spell Etherealness is 1 standard action.

I'd consider it a standard action without the associated feat (quicken SLA - spell-like ability)

Perfect.
Allow me to explain the Black Dragon encounter. After the dragon had made its attack, Tracepaladin were one round away. This means the Dragon would likely have been able to get out one more attack before it could be attacked. If the dragon were not alerted, that would mean an attack on the soldiers, and probably killing or dragging off at least one more soldier. Whereas if the dragon were alerted by means of a whistle, it would then focus on Tracepaladin as the greater threat (or run), which would mean no more soldiers killed. Tracepaladin could have been attacked in that round, but they have the HP to take the hit. Perhaps sacrificing a sneak blow would have drawn out the battle by one more round, but that doesn't matter, since they could take the hit, and could do the damage anyways.

Also, can I upgrade Tracy's rod of sneezes with a Contagion spell?

I think Trumpaladin should have returned to the Tower after the Spartan delegation was taken off to the Monestary, although I'd believe that he may have taken them on a tour of the city instead. Fae should be able to handle most of it. I could try talking to Darkie
>who does the football team play against, if they're the only football team in the world atm
Shhh! I'd presume a separate Port Barry team
