I'm looking for a suggestion on a gift for my wife. She is let handed and prefers smaller knives but she is an experienced cook. I was initially thinking in the 160-170mm range, but could go ko santoku or ko bunka. I'm trying to stay under $200 shipped to the US, but could stretch for the right knife.

Right now she uses a 6 inch wustof ikon chef knife, a shun premier nakiri, and a random paring knife. I do the sharpening but we are both good about cleaning, drying, and storage even though all we have are stainless. Here are a few things I started looking at, but folks here know more than me so you guys might have other ideas:

I'm looking to get a nakiri for my wife as a gift. She's left handed and has small hands so she prefers small knives. I'm thinking about something in the 155mm range, which I know is on the shorter side, but that's what she prefers. Either western or wa handles are fine as long as it's not too bulky or designed for a right hand. I would lean towards stainless steel over carbon for ease of maintenance, but could go the other way for the right knife. I have to a set of whetstones which I have been learning with on my cheaper knives.

She currently uses a wustof classic ikon 6 inch chef knife that she uses for pretty much everything and she likes that that a lot, but she has mentioned missing t

In my game, one of the players is a level 6 lore bard who over time has developed a friendship with an NPC artificer and has become very interested in constructs and clockworks. With the release of the new UA artificer today, I know the player would like to multiclass I'm that direction. The problem is that Int is her dump stat at 8. I would like to allow it if possible since we mostly play a fun and not too serious game. My question is whether I should, and if so, how. I have a few potential ideas, but I also figure you guys might think of something better.

One option is to allow her to switch her 8 Int with her 14 Wis. It affects saving throws, but not her spellcasting as a bard.

I dm for a group that meets about once a month. This month, one player's 5 year old niece will be staying with her on the date of our game. She asked if the niece could potentially join the game for the session. I'm fine with that, and it seems everyone else in the group is as well.

I'm just trying to figure out how to do this. The party is 4 level 5 PC's. So far I am thinking of making this an escort mission. The girl would have a fairly simple character (brute fighter Minotaur reskinned as a half elephant since she loves elephants). The PC's need to escort her home for whatever reason. I'm thinking of using elementals as enemies so there's minimal blood and graphic violence. I am worried

I am essentially making spicy chicken nuggets for the football games on Sunday. I have played around with the recipe and have it where I like it. I would like to serve some dipping sauces with the nuggets. In particular, I am looking for a buffalo style sauce that could be used for dipping at room temperature. I worry that the butter in a standard buffalo sauce would congeal as it sits for a bit, making for a less than appetizing dipping sauce. Does anyone have a solution for that? Would using clarified butter help?

I would love to hear other ideas for sauces as well. Thanks.
