Polymorph really seems like it ends so many encounters Matt plans out prematurely, like anything that's just them versus one creature is a coin flip if they'll just polymorph it. Mind you it saved their asses this time, but it's still both funny and I imagine kind of frustrating for him as a DM  Also genuinely surprised there wasn't a second one, Matt seems to like doing worms like those in pairs.

That was probably a backup play, like if a series of lucky rolls made the fight much too easy then oh hey, there was another one nearby that was drawn toward the commotion. Glitter turtle was just too much fun to undermine with a cheap trick like that.

Two worms would have been a tpk for sure. It's a cr 17 monster and all saving throws it causes are against dc 20. Imagine two of those shouts. It's hilarious to me that almost all of the dnd grognards rank trickery clerics as one of the worst cleric domains. Jester have saved the M9 bacon on so many different occasions now  e: Here's the worm's statblock: https://5e.tools/bestiary/frost-worm-egw.html Lima fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Nov 20, 2020 |

Trickery is probably on the lower tier of Clerics, but Clerics are one of the most powerful classes, the Mighty Nein having two of them is p much god mode. Their Spell List is great, but the class abilities are meh compared to other clerics. Talesin probably has the best cleric class ability. In terms of Alpha damage, that he for some reason never uses. Path to the Grave is absurd as a Channel Divinity, Especially with a Rogue just leads to loving absurd damage. Or you know, Disintegrate

Dexo posted:Trickery is probably on the lower tier of Clerics, but Clerics are one of the most powerful classes, the Mighty Nein having two of them is p much god mode. In terms of general combat power, yeah, Trickery clerics are definitely on the weaker side. (hence the grognard response) The duplicate eats up your bonus action to move around which is troublesome in higher level combat, and it mostly serves as a ranged delivery for touch spells. You can also give yourself advantage on an attack... but Trickery clerics are bad at that. They get the "martial cleric" Divine Strike ability but don't get the heavy armor or martial weapon proficiency to go with it, nor any options for extra attacks. Cloak of Shadows is terrible, using a channel divinity for a one-turn invisibility. Most of the domain spell list is also not terribly well suited for combat. Polymorph and dominate person are solid additions though. Trickery clerics excel on the more social side of encounters, even avoiding combat entirely. I think Critical Role inflates the impression of a Trickery cleric with a combination of Mercer being a very roleplay, social encounter-heavy DM and Laura Bailey being a mad loving genius. quote:Talesin probably has the best cleric class ability. In terms of Alpha damage, that he for some reason never uses. Path to the Grave specifies an attack so disintegrate isn't going to work with it. Wizards are severely lacking in spells that actually make an attack roll, Caleb's best option would be picking up the Interestingly enough, Fjord is able to get into the same ballpark anyway. (Hexadins are nuts) Their best synergy is Yasha's battlecry (just because we want advantage), PTTG, then Fjord hitting with a divine smite with one of his fifth level slots and casting Banishing Smite. (fjord has no 4th level slots) Decided to run the math because I'm a giant nerd and I'm bored. (1d8+5d8+5d10+5+2)*2. (sword, smite, CHA, Star Razor bonus) Average 61.5 damage doubled to 123. Maximum of 105 doubled to 210, because why the gently caress not. If we want to go completely insane and assume two full rounds of successful setup, we'll say Fjord opened up with a Hexblade's Curse then Hex. Adds 1d6 + 5. (1d8+5d8+5d10+1d6+5+5+2)*2 Average now 70 doubled to 140. Maximum now 116 doubled to 232. Of course, we expanded Fjord's critical hit range with that Hexblade's Curse. There's a 19% chance of a critical hit when swinging with advantage. (((1d8+5d8+5d10+1d6)*2)+5+5+2)*2 Average is now 128 doubled to 256. Maximum is 220 doubled to 440. Nott hits pretty hard too but you cannot beat a Hexadin for nova. Edit: This is assuming Star Razor doesn't add any other damage I'm unaware of. It's a +2 weapon when glowing, but it just "leveled up" or something and maybe it hits harder now? Deuce fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Nov 20, 2020 |

Well with the ability to save out of the stun and the overall damage output of the worm being high but not too ridiculous, I don't think anyone would have died fighting it conventionally but they would have gotten beaten up for sure. It would have been fun to see four party members swallowed by it, then the one or two who break their stun in there do enough damage that the worm spits them all out at once. There's a world of difference between "one spellcaster not stunned" and "everyone stunned" though, there's no doubt about that.

Matt changed up the saving throw from Wisdom to Constitution, which actually made things a lot harder. Jester, Cad, Fjord, and Caleb are all proficient in Wisdom saves, and Bo has a decent Wisdom score. Yasha and Nott are a little screwed on a DC20 Wisdom save. While everyone has a little bit of a Constitution bonus, only Yasha is actually proficient. As it was, it took several rounds for anyone to start breaking the stun. If the worm behaved like the Remhorraz (sp?) did way back when, swallowed a couple people then fuckin bounced while everyone else is stunned... there might be a couple of unrecovered bodies.

It's too bad Planeshift has that requirement to get a tuning fork, I'd love to see someone deal with these kind of creatures by just bopping them and telling them to go hand out with the Aeor in the Astral Sea.

Admin Profile brings the city back in front of the Mighty Nein and there's just this crowd of extremely dangerous and extremely angry high level monsters from the past. Big ice worm, Dragon Turtle, Vokodo in the alternate reality where they left him banished, etc.
