Viserys: "Greetin--"
Fey Lady: "..?"
Viserys: "Oh, you again. Can I get someone else?"
Fey Lady: "No."
Viserys: "Then get the fuck out of my city."
She was not listenign closely enough for that then, it does take attention to listen in with mindsight.

At neither time? Even when actively suspicious about the tailor?
Ok @thread I think we need to have a talk with Varys, this is flying 5ft over the ocean style mistakes.

I am relieved. Maybe this one is actually tolerable.
It's always neat to poke at Mythic things.

Well, it's not as though they don't exist. It's not like the Orphne have never been cause for a headache, but I've never wanted to strangle one of them either, which is saying something considering I have wanted to strangle Glyra.
Anyway, unrelated, but if we're not going to finish Rina's class, are we really going to be so boring as to advanced Cleric for five levels?
Can we do something more baller than that?
I'm not even mad, that's just freaking impressive. Definetly wanna give him a new name now. He can be our double secret uber vague spymaster the third. We shall name him...Puck.

AFAIK Mindsight is always active. It's like having 360 vision that works through walls : you can't miss a sentient beings because he is effectively standing right in front of you, all the time.
Basically without cover there is normally no need for Spot checks to spot a person standing in front of you. It's automatic.
Still, it's entirely possible that Varys didn't say anything because :
Retconning sucks.

Still, it's entirely possible that Varys didn't say anything because :
- A human with high Int is normal enough
- A human with the Dragon type is very rare, but not impossible. With strong enough dragonblood, it can happen naturally (and it's useful for use with Alter Self, as we and Daenerys know well). Lys is also the city of dragonblood breeding programs, and magic is returning and awakening ancient blood... Varys may have suspected he was a petty mageling (dragonblooded sorcerer ACF, something like that), but that isn't exactly important news for a lazy snake who knows such a mageling and its petty combat spells or illusions is zero threat to us.
Retconning sucks.

That was also my understanding of vanilla Mindsight, if DP is running it differently it would have been nice to know but I can live with it.
I can't live with intelligent characters making poor decisions and whether through lazyness or otherwise Varys' made a poor decision.
Edit:
Point 2 doesn't work though, they don't count as True Dragon and Varys' should both know better and have the pride to care, it's a well established character trait.

I've asked DP about it—when Rina becomes a Winter Fey, she becomes what the Others used to be before the Voud tainted them.
And her paths of vassalization stay ironclad, so we could start a new Winter Court with her.

Mindsight
A creature that has this feat can detect and pinpoint beings that are not mindless (anything with an Intelligence score of 1 or higher) within range of its telepathy. This works much like blindsense-
The creature also perceives several observable characteristics about each being detected with mindsight, including the being's type and Intelligence score. The creature need not take any additional or special actions to gain this information; it is as obvious to mindsight as the being's race and clothing would be to eyesight.
Blindsight/Blindsense
Unless noted otherwise, blindsight is continuous, and the creature need do nothing to use it.
Other creatures have blindsense, a lesser ability that lets the creature notice things it cannot see, but without the precision of blindsight.
Mindsight works like Blindsense which operates as Blindsight (except you still lose Dex bonus etc.) And that explicitly is automatic unless stated otherwise.
Mindsight has no such statement.

I don't think the winter fey thing is a problem. Starting as a mortal seems to allow some moderation of the base creature's inclinations. It's not like we jumped to "young adult red dragon " attitudes and behaviors once we transformed after all. It takes some focus, but Rina has to be one of the strongest willed people on this section of the plane just to be alive.
She basically got dunked in the metaphysical manifestation of suicidal depression and hate, but still managed to walk back. This is on top of the personal issues she had to work through before all of that, and the identity conflicts that happens after.sure she had help, but that's not a path anyone can walk for you in the end.
She still has to channel forces that at least touch on those concepts to do magic at all, but manages to stay sane and well adjusted. If there is anyone who can handle fey nonsense it's her.

So on the subject of naming the Nameless, I would like to point out that we do have a valid starting point for research there. Namely(hehe) the Renly imposter. As I recall, his whole deal was that the original Renly sold his name to the fey, which was then given to our guy. Either studying him directly or outright resolving that issue could possibly give us greater insight into how names work for fey and how to move them from one place to another, which could lead to simply creating them if necessary.
As for Rina becoming a Fey It's not really different from how we became a Dragon or Dany became whatever the he'll she is. As long as we keep an eye on it and make sure she doesn't go off the reservation, which is a concern anyways given how it all started, she should be fine.

Point 2 works just fine. True Dragon isn't a type (which is why the Kobold Loredrake cheese still spawns arguments online 14 years later). The only type is "Dragon", which in this setting humans can simply be born with if they're really lucky

I don't believe that humans are born as Type: Dragon in this setting.
There is Subtype: Dragonblood that they might get but that is not Type: Dragon.
Mindsight would be able to tell the difference.
I did mispeak(type?) By saying True Dragon though.
