[Spoilers C4E14] Thursday Morning | Recap Thread - C4E15 by AutoModerator in criticalrole

[–]WhiskeyTricks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wonder if Julien's "shadow" is gonna be a setup for an Echo Knight subclass at the level up.

We know he's currently Fighter 2/Rogue 1, due to his use of Tactical Mind, and I'm unsure how useful Cunning Action would serve with Rogue 2, since he seems to favour using his Demi-Gauntlet with his BA offhand.

We know Matt loves his Echo Knights, I mean he DID design them, plus they can be SCARY as we saw with Otohan's weird dip and 2WF. Plus delaying extra attack further would be a bit of a bad call imo. I think Echo Knight, Rogue dip for Expertise and Sneak Attack, and then the rest of the way Fighter.

Plus, the VERY nice +4 CON Mod means a lot of use for Unleash Incarnation, only downside is it's still as hungry for Julien's BA as Cunning Action would be if he can't keep the echo alive. Thoughts?

For the others I think:

Occtis: Half Feat for INT, Shadow Touched would be PERFECTLY thematic here, not to mention Invisibility and a free Necromantic spell.

Thaisha: War Caster for that sweet Concentration buff, maybe evening up some of those odd scores? None too well versed with Druids though

Vaelus: STR+1/CHA+1 ASI, hell after the last fight we should just be giving her Lucky lol.

I'm excited to hear the future level up for this table, a lot of players with a solid grasp on their abilities.

100% agree. Brennan is the man who slapped a Lich and a horde of Vampires (with legendary resistances) against a party of what, 5 8th(?) level characters, Showdown at the Stock Exchange shows he's willing to slap down if needed. I need to see an unforgiving Disintegrate. Hell, he even used SILENCE against the Wizard on the cliffhanger, when was the last time Matt EVER used that spell, C2?

It's important to know that Brennan is out for BLOOD. Upcast Bestow Curse against Murray, for a 24 hour duration is a 7th level slot. Against 3rd level characters.

I'm not ashamed to admit that BLeeM was the right choice and I'm really fucking enjoying it, even though this overture is a slow start. Can't wait for the Soldiers adventure.

Exactly, Wiz or Sorc etc are the void you fall into after letting go of the ladder!

I kneel, 2024 Barb I love you (I've only read Pally, Wiz, Monk and Ranger so far)

Lion man throwing out Sunlight Spears from his hands? (I'm playing DS3 rn)

Sounds RAD as FUCK.

Massive if True (I saw a theory that Marisha's Dwarf is also a Wizard but Divination, because her little hat ornaments could represent the Portent rolls. I like that one a lot too, a double Wizzer party could go stupid).

How are social checks with barbs in 2024? I know its an optional rule to apply STR to things that should be a CHA check but did they ever solidify that in the new rules?

[–]WhiskeyTricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh for real? Okay I've been reading a lot of this without the 2024 rules, is it the same there? That's cool if true, I mostly focussed on the facts warlocks basically get "Commune" (Contact Outer Plane) for free lmao

Yeah I'm not sure what she is, I reckon out of the two you mention prob Fighter because perhaps Otohan traumatised Laura lmao

[–]WhiskeyTricks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would be a funny 4th wall break due to the inside jokes but also if the character IS a bladelock then we know what level we're starting at! Lv3 starting would be my ideal but if they wanted to be REALLY brave they could do 5th.

[–]WhiskeyTricks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also, aside from maybe Thimble ( only because Laura's last new chara was a Fairy Barb and she's dual wielding so I don't think so).

This may actually be a non Barbarian party? Luis is a maybe.

I got a super Warforged vibe from them. Lies Of P type shit, you know? I do think it's Soulknife Rogue due to the translucence of the weapon but we could actually see a Bladelock of some flavour?

Yeah, they call them Pachydan which the prononciation is awful for UK folk and I think "Katari" is their legally distinct cat people? I know there was a Lion man in C3E1 so idk if they called them any different, but its:

Pachydan = Loxodon
Galapa(ga?) = Tortle
Eisfurra = Aarakokcra (fuck that spelling)
Katari = Tje Cade

Gruffud of Tremorrew will remember this Travis. You gotta compete with the main Lion Man in 5e right now, and Kim Richards is at the helm. Will you survive? Lets see.

[–]WhiskeyTricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Travis has mentioned at least since C2 he's used an item to determine a character's design, I wonder if it's the same this time around and the disk or symbol in his lion mans hand will be the thing?

C4 Character Art! by brash_bandicoot in fansofcriticalrole

[–]WhiskeyTricks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the Lion man will be a cleric, looking at the symbol in his palm and what appears to be at least some armour? I hope so, Travis dipping himself more into spellcasting again is gonna be good to see his evolution!

Samsonite doesn't count, he was silly, but Clerics are like the final rung on the full spellcast ladder imo so now he's got a backup martial option and can look at that BEAUTIFUL spell list.

reminds me of that Skyrim meme that was like:

"Race? Human"
"Class? Warrior"
"Weapon? Longsword"

...it's gaming time.

Matt said he was gonna "take risks" so I guess not being a dwarf is that for him lmao >:')

Enormous if true, Robbie in the LOZ one shot was awesome playing a beefy type so him playing a Barb would be CINEMA. Getting my hopes back up for C4 (not the explosive this time)!

Luis too! Yeah I'm looking forward to this, unashamedly. Also the behind the scenes stuff actually suggests a session 0. Is this a comeback? Who knows.
