2 doubts I have with Rox after this episode of F&F:

- Will she get a new unique armor after she’s accepted in Rytlock’s warband? The other hero, Braham, got a very unique armor IN ADITION to unique physical appearance and weapons. Rox got unique appearance (including her pet) and weapons… but her armor is very lackluster in comparison to Braham, specially considering some of the pieces aren’t even high end pieces. Is this just temporal and once she stops being a gladium she will get a new armor? Or is this her definitive armor set?

- Was “Whetstone” an oversight? It’s no longer on the official announcement for this part of the campaign. It clearly shows she ends up in Rytlock’s Stone Warband, probably during the last day celebration, but was the inclussion of the name a “too soon” oversight and it was really planned to be kept until the final day with Rytlock promoting her and her new lastname being chosen? The name pretty much shows that she is accepted in the warband at the end so I could understand why it was removed, but I think everyone knew she would pass Rytlock’s tests anyway.

Extra question about her devourer: Is “Frostbite” supposed to be a wordplay? The spanish name for him is “Hielitos” which raw translation is a bit tricky, it’s a plural diminutive of “Hielo” (Ice), like small ice pieces/cubes in a cute way given how it’s a cute pet, which doesn’t match the pet name unless it’s supposed to be a pun with bit (small piece) and bite? I didn’t though about it until I saw the spanish name for him and how the translation wasn’t the real translation (or even close to) of Frostbite.

One thing I’d like to point out about frostbite and the translation…ever hear of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? Go look up the actual translation of the name. xD Sometimes names don’t need to translate completely, or there are nuances that are a bit harder to grasp, or a name that’s harder to form in one language than it is another.
