[OOC] Return to the Rusty Rat

[Toot]

I thought I answered this already but can't find my answer. Can you? Maybe you're knocking on open doors.
We definitely agree about creativity and that Boo is more a companion and the rest of the PCs are more tools.

I asked them the question purely out of curiosity.  As I stated, everything they say is their opinion and does not effect this game.  In any case, you had said yes to allowing Boo to use the Helm and Ioun stone.  Why would I try to change your mind when you already ruled in my favor?      But if they had suggested something that we had not thought of even if it was negative I would have let you know, just like I did when I found out bears can't wear rings so you allowed me to change the ring of sustenance to a bracelet.    

Yes. We are just speaking tools aka artifacts .

You mean dusty, old, relics that have been long forgotten? 

These ants look like soldiers.

It's a pity that Druids don't have a Speak with Vermin spell.  In 5e they got rid of the Vermin type and now just call Animals and Vermin, Beasts.  They then changed the spell to Speak with Beasts.     With the exception of a few spells like Giant Insect, Insect Plague and Repel Vermin, 3.5 Druids really are very limited when dealing with insects.  

Do you think Toot might be able to talk SG into grappling a Soldier Ant so we can put the helm on it's head?
