And he's perfectly fine in that roll. I'm just against deliberately making Minotaur Barbarians on a large scale. The Fighter Minotaurs with their Ser Richard-induced discipline have been nothing short of great, and infusing a bunch of Barbarians into that mix outright reverses the social progress they've been making. Having barbarian minotaurs is way less important imo than carefully shaping their societal development. We've been pretty deliberately hammering order and Law into their skulls.
On another note, here's the armor calculations so we can properly account for how much will need to be deducted from our mithral stockpiles:
- Aubert Flowers prefers full plate (though he does not strictly need it, he is fine in normal weight plate) -- Adamantium
- Lothos and Grazdan prefer brestplates -- Mithral
- Menel and Lothos prefer chainmail -- Mithral
And we are currently sitting on 2,635 lbs of Mithral.
So for now that's two breastplates (30 lbs), and two chainmails (40 lbs) for a total of 70 lbs.
That should leave our current stockpile at 2,565 lbs of Mithral.

Reinforced adds 10% (min 2 pounds) to the weight of the armour, according to Armor Abilities - Reinforced* . If DP is using those rules.
However looking at the page liking to that enhancement, Magic Armor Abilities the ones with an * appear to be mundane. So looking at the page linking to it, Magic Armor Abilities I saw:
Armor Abilities - Lightweight*
The overall weight of a suit of armor with this item quality is reduced by 20%, or 1 pound, whichever is greater
Relevant to our situation if allowed? The others are worth it too, if the craft checks can be met.
Edit: even if nothing else, reinforced adamantium full plate would be heavy

In that case for two sets of Reinforced Segmented Mithral Breastplates it would be 16.5 lbs each, for a total of 33 lbs to equip Lohos and Grazdan.
I'm... really not sure it's possible to make Chainmail reinforced or segmented. I'm sure one of the munchkins will correct me on that.
Aubert Flower's Reinforced Segmented Adamantium Fullplate should be 55 lbs, but frankly for someone trained in the style of Westerosi Knights that's a piece of cake.

Chainmail can be reinforced, but not segmented. Not even if we segment the individual links
. Word of DP.Fair enough on the weight of the plate, however that reinforced has a min addition of 2 pounds, so 17, not 16.5 each

Rather than clunky out of nowhere enoblement, offer him and his kin the opportunity to apply to enroll in the Scholarium (if they pass the standards check) perhaps? It's in three months for the next group of classes, so he and his family will have time to settle in.
Also talk up the crafting statues - imagine what a master can achieve with access to freely available spells that can lift a novice to skilled craftsmen*?

[X] In exchange for becoming our full retainer, offer the Master Smith the opportunity to not only work on Valyrian Steel, but to be among those who recreate the process which actually produces Valyrian Steel. He won't just be rearranging someone else's centuries old work, he'll be able to work with new Valyrian Steel.
-[X] It won't be only Valyrian Steel he would be tasked with working with. He would be given the opportunity to work with otherworldly metals as well. (Show him Cold Iron, Mithral, and Adamantium).
-[X] He and his extended kin would be given full access to the finest healing magic has to offer, which would undoubtedly banish any aches and pains accumulated over the years, and make disease a non-issue.
-[X] He would get to freely learn the Craftsman's Pride ritual to be used as he pleases.
-[X] It should go without saying that he will be very well compensated.
-[X] His kin would receive lessons in the Scholarum (after screening, as all prospective students must go through) to become any type of mage they aspire to.
-[X] He will be given free reign to search for apprentices, starting by looking among those already training to become mage smiths in Sorcerer's Deep.

No concerns about the methods used in creating Valerian Steel?

Why should we be concerned? So what if Valyrian Steel uses fiendsblood? We stand to collect on thousands of Fiendish Dire Spiders, hundreds of which will be reserved precisely for this. And it's not like a master smith from Qohor of all places will be squeamish about blood sacrifice. They were doing it before it was useful.
EDIT:
Duesal's Guide to Valyrian Steel
Everything I've managed to collect suggests that fiendsblood is the main component here... And, well, we're pretty enthusiastically sacrificing fiends already, to the point where even the Good party members support the sacrifice.

I like what I see, but I'm assuming there's more? Just two features seem a bit barren for a class planned out to level 16. Is this stacked on top of everything she'd normally get as part of being a witch?

It's just alternate class features for a Witch.
Look it up on the Pathfinder wiki, everything not mentioned stays as normal.
Edit: like Valaena's Eldritch Scion but with fewer effects on the base class.

She's going to be a bit of a nightmare for any Winterborn she goes up against. She'll be trashing them in their own domain.

We need to send Valaena on another adventure. We should also consider replicating her Amulet for Joran, and really for everyone we plan on giving dragon eggs out to.
@Duesal Minor actions next turn should include, alongside making good on our promise to Malarys, doling out those eggs you're keeping track of, sans the one set aside for Amrelath's ritual.
Edit: Which colors for whom, IMO.
1. Pink as the first hints of dawn's light = Amrelath
2. Black with specs of gold -- Malarys
3. Pale almost ghostly silver -- Liset
4. Pale almost ghostly silver -- Reva
5. Blue as the summer sky -- Dany
6. Midnight black with sparks of amber -- Viserys or Teana (personally I favor Viserys, but I realize we don't really have much time to train it, and Teana could make time with her class features) Though I feel like I shouldn't argue against myself here: we could always just Dominate it.
7. Jade green -- Rhaella

No we can't, Dominate Monster is level 9.
At best we can Charm it, which does not replace good training since even very friendly fire-shooting giant murderlizard with the intelligence of a dog can cause a lot of unintended damage.
Which I'm sure every dog-owner can bear witness to.

Rituals are always a thing, as DP has repeatedly said.
But I realize I had to present Teana as an alternative or people would repeatedly complain about it.
To note: Malarys wasn't going to traditionally train it. He intended on binding it with Balerion dragon-binding rituals.

Which is a priest-only thing and costs a limb.
The collar limits its growth, making it even more ridiculous next to Viserys.
Only the sacrifice ritual might work out, we'd have to do more research.

It's an option. But I realize I was never going to convince you (and a couple of other outspoken people against it).
Unrelated, but I'm going to attempt to finish my current omake series tonight, so I can get started on some of those non-canon ones I spoke about.

DP told us already that Malarys, rather than doing the priestly self-mutilation ritual, was far more likely to just flat-out dominate his new dragon with blood sacrifice. No reason others can't do the same.
EDIT: That said, I'm a bit sad that the Red Dragon Wyrmling we'll eventually nab from the Golden Company won't be tossed to Amrelath.

Sure it's similar enough Leila can do it. No reason to make juggling time that much harder for you guys over a technicality.

Thanks DP, the leniency is very much appreciated.
Any news on the Qohorick smith vote?
