The elf only needing 4 hours doesn't get spells back though do they? Like, hit points and hit die you'd be ok, but spells is specifically a long rest which is 8 hours. Unless Matt changes it, but that seems like making elves way too powerful as spell casters.

jng2058 posted:Given how not well Starfinder and Pathfinder 2.0 have done, I doubt Paizo HAS a dumptruck full of money anymore. The wheelbarrow full of loose change they do have probably isn't enough to move the CR dials any. Not compared to D&D Beyond money, anyway. Also their employees are trying to unionize because of the horrible working conditions/hostile environment and the multiple stories that just started coming out about it, so they've got enough poo poo they should be working on without bringing more press into their lives and burning more money. I just want to know what the characters are. I'm pretty sure Liam is going angsty and brooding and so dark you just don't understand his pain, man, but I'd like to see some variety. I think he could pull off happy and optimistic. Him and Sam doing something similar to what he and Laura did, being siblings would be cool.

Blades in the Dark would be amazing for a one-shot/intermission campaign. Lot less rules, lot more making poo poo up on the fly and it's all about heists and demons and craziness.

I just figured Bertram was the inciting incident to kick off the plot. He's gonna get killed in the upcoming fight, but his last words will be to "Find X" or something like that. Travis' actual character will get introduced in the search for X and we're off to the races. Or he's out for a few weeks with something else, and then they introduce him.

She's going to be fun to watch.

Athanatos posted:oh that is a good theory. The demon Percy was working with helped him build the first guns. It probably wants revenge on the family and if she was harmed by them as well, even if it's just in her head and they weren't responsible it's an easy way to get a follower. No reason the demon couldn't be working with other beings to get her power, it's not like VM didn't gently caress with a lot of people. She's gotta have connections to the de Rolo's though.

DeathSandwich posted:I wonder how much of it is Ashley forgetting about it vs Matt not wanting to bring attention to Mister because he's trying to keep things under control. It's kind of a core feature of the wildfire druid and will power a lot of what she'll have access to at higher levels. I would assume it's mostly forgetting about it, she seemed to use it to cause chaos mostly and there was enough of that anyways she didn't need it.

eke out posted:feels like a good motivator "He's our piece of poo poo, we get to dump on him, not you!" So is that Imogen's patron then? Stealing the souls of whoever dies around her or what? I know there's a lot of backstory to go yet, but that was some crazy poo poo. Mage_Boy posted:Matt did say after the first session that "Travis is a troll." Which makes me think that only Matt and Travis knew Betram's eventual fate even if the others knew he was not Travis' final character. I think they knew, Robbie was setting up way too much to not know at least the basics.

Hulk Smash! posted:Not really in published material. Of course this could be another Matt homebrew. Even without that though it still works, even if it's not the most optimized - which has never been a real concern with this group. As long as you use a finesse weapon, even with STR as the to-hit stat, you get sneak attacks. Shield +Rapier would work well. Or a grappler build since you can take Rogue expertise in Athletics. Ok, it does seem like a bit of an oversight for the class, that's a pretty common archetype in fiction. Maybe it was pathfinder that had it, but I can definitely see it working great with even a few minor modifications to the original rogue class.

DesertIslandHermit posted:I remembered watching a montage clip of Vox Machina moments last year to refresh on the campaign for the show and remembered how cool "You fool, your soul is forfeit! DIE! DIE!" was but I later realized Percy blew off the coach driver's hand earlier in the same episode and him executing the Broker was him just further losing his mind and morality. I mean, the opening credits show Percy just straight stomping a dude as blood flies off him so I don't think they're shying away from gore in the rest of the season. Vox Machina was straight murderhobos with a cool castle for quite some time at the beginning.

Ultimate Mango posted:Once they get those blue stones it will be full on spelljammer sky ship thingy. Well, he's got a few more options with spelljammer stuff. It helps drop one of the casters in power every day, so not as easy to just blast their way through encounters. There's also the "no fire ever" thing about the space in between the solar systems that could be funny. And if I remember right, the moon of your fantasy planet having a working space dock/station/colony is in Forgotten Realms, so having Exandria have one too wouldn't be too far fetched.

redbrouw posted:Wonder why Asmo stopped the atonement spell. Mulligan was very specific to say that he did that. You have to actually mean it, and I don't think Asmodeus thinks he did anything wrong. He was placed in charge of the hells, with all the attendant duties that deity would have. To him, he's supposed to tempt people and put "evil" out into the world, he's not doing anything other than his job. That's my initial thought though.

Yeah, I'm sure there was a conversation with Matt pointing out things that absolutely couldn't be changed, and some things that had wiggle room or just freedom to do whatever they wanted. Critical role is too big to have someone changing stuff like who the gods are without a conversation.

rocketrobot posted:In Greyhawk, it was Nerull, who I think is just a fantasy analogue of Nergal. In any case, he was a complete bastard and had it coming. Everyone always tries to off the god of death, it even happened in Faerun. Why not the god of hearths or something? It'd be way more out of left field and harder to stop I'd think.

Senjuro posted:Being the goddess of magic in The Forgotten Realms is a much more dangerous position. She's been killed like 3 times I think? Her first death caused the end of Faerun's Age of Arcanum equivalent. She's died a lot, she just isn't always murdered. I think the goddess of magic usually has to sacrifice themself to save the weave. But even the god of death has like 3 or 4 replacements in Faerun, so it's comparable. And Planescape would be fun for Critical Role, same with Spelljammer.

TotalHell posted:People were calling for a Spelljammer style game early; maybe it turns into that halfway through. I don't think it will do that either, but the early Spelljammer adventures did start out with a pretty standard adventure that ended in finding a Spelljammer helm or vessel that just needed some simple repairs to be spaceworthy again. If he wanted to do something like that, about now would be the time to start kicking it off.

Aeor making useful servitors they could sell to anyone, then remotely trigger a killing spree isn't a big stretch. Hell, even better if they made them expensive so only the rich could afford them, or they were only used in sensitive areas or they were gifted to other rulers during diplomacy. That mechanism loving up over thousands of years isn't a big stretch either. seaborgium fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Aug 24, 2022 |

It's one thing if the only PC in range is down and there's no logical reason they wouldn't finish them off (e.g., Molly) but I've never seen him be quite so ruthlessly surgical in his elimination of a player before. Maybe Liam wants to go back to his usual dark and brooding character?

xeria posted:Orym has Know Your Enemy, yeah. I don't remember if he used it on Otohan at any point but it requires 1min of uninterrupted study to glean two characteristics in relation to his own (out of like 7 total possible). He can't know exactly what Otohan's AC is using that but he'd know if it's less than/greater than/equal to his. But even that is pretty general, kind of a "Much higher, about the same, much lower" level of information. And it still doesn't give you the whole picture. A 20th level wizard could easily have similar hit points and a much lower AC compared to a 10th or 12th level fighter and would wipe the floor with the fighter.
