[@nightmare2750]

The disparity between Percy, Molly, Caduceus and Ashton is just incredible. This man has such range in terms of character personality.

[@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human]

I love Liam and all of his characters, but his characters have been a tragic stoic rogue, a tragic stoic wizard, and a tragic stoic fighter. All of Sam's characters have been comic relief trolls with unexpectedly deep and tragic emotional arcs. Travis, Marisha, Laura and Ashley have played characters who are pretty different, but share some similarities. Talesin seems to take every new character as an opportunity to do something very different. I love almost every one of all of their characters, but Talesin's range is perhaps the most impressive.

[@kaikai5963]

​@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human but I think all Tals characters have a bit of him inside. The curiosity, the amount of times Tals characters say "I wanna do something weird" or "I wanna see what happens". They all have that curiosity that Tal cant help but show. They also have that vague mysterious "I have an idea" and then refuses to explain it till asked lmao. (Just to say, this is not hate against Tal or his chars, love him). So while they feel different he they do share just as much as everyone else

[@JohnWilliamShatner]

Cadeuces is the only high-wisdom character from the main cast in either campaign that I've felt believably embodies wisdom. It's impressive from a roleplaying perspective, especially because Taliesin also has to deal with having low intelligence. It's an odd matchup, but it works really well with the direction of the character. I especially love the moments where Cad will be completely thrown off by simple questions, only to come up with some odd philosophical or religious answer.

[@ezrablock3218]

I feel like Jester has moments where she is very wise in her approach to things. She does foolhardy stuff also, but she still treats people with a level of care and understanding, and she is in-tune with the universe.

[@Kraktzor]

My groups has always referred to high Wisdom/Low Intelligence as "All Common Sense but no Brains"

[@TheSilverPhoenix100]

Keyleth and Pike had maxed out wisdom in vox machina

[@ezrablock3218]

Yeah, and Pike was super wise too. I don't know what you're talking about.

[@AaronBoBaron_]

There's also more than one type of wisdom. Not everything is Caduceus' brand of wisdom. Jester may not be very worldly, but her emotional wisdom is off the charts. Keyleth had amazing emotional wisdom too, while Pike's wisdom was a general level-headedness in tough situations (as well as emotional and religious wisdom). Vex'ahlia and Percy both ended with 16 wisdom, and both displayed a working knowledge of the way the world works which is generally wisdom-based rather than intellect (also the case with Beau and Caleb, both of whom have wisdom scores of 16 currently). Shakaste is the closest thing I think we've had to Caduceus' type of wisdom, which is a very philosophical approach to having high wisdom.

Cad is my favorite character Taliesin made, and maybe my personal favorite PC from CR ever just because he sticks out from the lot being very balanced personality wise from the get go and that's what makes him so interesting, especially compared to the rest of the Mighty Nein. Also I love his aesthetic and flavor.

Man... this went so much smoother than with Taryon.

Am I the only one coming back to this clip over and over.

[@peterireland4344]

So many Shakespeare refs in this excerpt. So many. Especially Liam and Sam. Well done.

[@LuluGE]

I love him so gotdamn much,

[@nicholasrpatton]

By this alone, Taliesin's frame could hold a house up... I suppose (based upon stuff) it ultimately does.

[@goodladd2067]

Thought he was a druid for the longest time

[@FinalFirebrand]

If you're so bereft of social connections that the death of a character--not the exit of the player--makes you so upset you started throwing out threats, I am so sorry for you. Molly was fantastic, and so its Caddy...but it's all Talesin, he never went anywhere. It's a game, it happens.

[@keithjudge-wee6658]

To think that Talison improved the fact that Caduceus making tea on the spot is crazy to me. Something so important to his introduction and character. These guys are such great character writers

[@cyanmanta]

This is wonderful. Just great.

[@deffdefying4803]

That's nice.

Percy-Intelligence Molly-Charisma Caduceus-Wisdom And yes I know that Molly had a higher wisdom but I feel like he embodies the charisma stat more.

[@stingerjohnny9951]

In terms of Personality, yes. Especially when the other two fit their stats do well Percy: Uptight nerd who needs his friends to help him loosen up. Caduceus: Stoner Hippy you aren’t sure is even listening to you because he’s off poking a toadstool only for him to respond to you with something that’s both personal and profound.

I didn't realize how much youth got put back into Cad by the Nein

[@VolatileBullfrog]

Giving you that thumbs up for putting the whisper-captions in there! Sometimes very difficult to hear their whispers on the streams.

[@Galin1993]

I love the fact that when Pumat was announced you could see the gears in Tal's head going.

[@kyleread2956]

Taliesin predicted sam’s Tea&Tea bit. Change my mind

[@unknowncreature-0069]

"were drinking dead people tea?" "Aren't we all?" "Fair point." WHAT DO YOU MEAN "FAIR POINT?" I'M PRETTY SURE TEA DOESN'T USUALLY COME FROM DEAD PEOPLE DOES IT???
