again, i think that delilahs misty step was actually the spell far step. She teleported a lot farther than 30 feet (far step has a range of 60 feet) and she teleported multiple times in quick succession while also casting other spells (far step allows you to do it every turn as a bonus action without restricting your ability to cast other spells).

CR/VM getting creative with how spells and actions are expressed narratively is exactly what i like to see in roleplay games.

I agree with artistic liberties on dominate person since the spell can only affect one creature and upcasts for longer duration. I appreciate that he didn't use dominate until after the suits were downed since both take concentration.

Pike most likely didn't heal the group with prayer of healing instead it would be mass cure wounds a 5th level which has a after time frame rather then 10 minutes it is just one action also considering she healed 7 people instead of 6 she most likely hit one of them with a healing word using spell driver a matt mercer original feat which allows you to cast both a bonus action and regular action spell in one turn while not official wotc stuff this is matts world so we'll let it slide.

In campaign 1, it didn't require a feat to cast a non-cantrip in the same turn as a bonus action spell, everyone could do it. At some point after the double-fireball incident, Matt limited it to one of the spells being lvl2 or lower. But yes, Mass Cure Wounds was a spell Pike regularly had prepared, and its 1 Action cast time fits the narrative. Good call. Probably they just allowed it to affect 7 targets, not intending one of them to be a separate cast of Healing Word, taking artistic liberty with adapting 5e spells to the screen because that mechanical limit isn't narratively interesting. On screen, Pike heals the party with a spell, done. Spreading the same pool of healing across 1 extra target (meaning less healing for each target) would be basically fine in terms of game balance, too.

That fire-breathing feat by Scanlon was more like the wizard spell burning hands. One level lower than dragon's breath with the same 3d6 damage and hamstrung by the fire only weakness that potion displayed. I know because I'm currently playing a 7th level wizard in a 5e Eberron campaign and have both on my spell list. Also, not sure if this just a house rule for my DM's table but he's said that I can sacrifice a spell scroll instead of a spell slot if I'm unable to cast the spell otherwise, including having a teleport scroll in my back pocket as a quick evaluation method to get my entire 5 player party out of some fights. I'm thinking that Gilmore bartered his way into having a supply of a half dozen of those imprisonment scrolls, sacrifice one to store the spell in the mentioned glyph of warding, meaning all he'd need is any material components listed in the imprisonment spell.
@sadknight2826 Жыл бұрын
Great point about the scroll it very possible for Gilmore to have a magic item like that to account for any spell he could need. Interesting point about the burning hands but the Scanbo episode was heavily pulled from the original stream which makes it the easiest one to figure out what spells are being used. I checked Episode 31 of the original stream to confirm and it is a Potion of Fire Breath which I think I called Dragon's Breath which is my bad. I use player slang sometimes when I should be using mechanical terms which is not helpful for the video. Thank you for the comment I hope I answered/cleared up my reasoning for the spell in the video.

I know im a little late to the party but i think pike casted heal at 1:25 not cure wounds. The way she was very drained after that indicates to me she used a very high level spell

Its total possible it's cool how there's some many good choices and seeing a spell animated can give us all kinds of great ideas for how to describe and image it in our home games. Thanks for the good call out you could be right.

9:42 I too originally thought that this spell could have been Revivify... but after a second thought maybe it was the Reincarnate spell? The spell's flavor says that the spell forms another body for the soul to inhabit... but taking into account that Cassandra's body was not badly injured other than a carotid severance leading to bleedout, maybe it was as simple as adding the cost component to the body to close the wound and then as a DM auto-selecting human as the race of the reincarnation, no fuss, no muss. Then again, Achim's razor, right? A simple Cure Wounds to make the moment even more dramatic, as you said!

druids can cast revivify, though that may not have been the case at the time of the livestreams. regardless, no diamond so no spell
@somedm30802 жыл бұрын
Little late, but Revivify is actually a druid spell, it was added to their spell list in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, which is logical, given they get other revivification magic.

love the vid and all the effort to create it, just one recommendation, do a couple takes. if you mix up your words its okay to record again. your statements are pretty broken up so it wouldn't be noticed if you gave it a couple tries.

...Druids do get access to Revivify though as of Tasha's. they don't have Raise Dead, they get Reincarnation instead. ...*and* they have access to Cone of Cold as of the same book, though granted Tasha's wasn't available at the time.

Very true but since they ported their game over from pathfinder I choose to list it as pathfinder but you are correct it is a 3.5e spell. Thank you for the comment I really appreciate it.
@Cen20502 жыл бұрын
Ok...as a person who's played D&D for literal decades from 3.5 to pathfinder, to 5e, and even a little bit of 4th I have to say well done but for a few things. 1) I think the spell Keylith cast upon Cassandra was HEAL and not Cure wounds, a 6th level spell that is within her power to perform, and would explain the far more dramatic visuals. 2) Cone of Cold it IS available to Druids. 3) I believe the spell Gilmore most likely used with the Glyph of Warding was Forcecage, which can form a perfectly enclosed area...at least in previous edditions

Thank you so much I try to do my best with these video as I have only played 5th and a little bit of 3.5. having to look into multiple editions and multiple games even can be time consuming and its easy to over look things I'm unfamiliar with but thanks to awesome comments like yours really helps me learn more about the game and the show. Thank you for the helpful comment.

Cone of cold is a druid spell as of tashas couldron of everything. I think its a better fit and it even freezes things into statues as it dies.

In Tasha’s, the Druid spell list was expended to include Revivify. While in-game was before Tasha’s, I’d still bet Keyleth cast it and not Cure Wounds in the show.

Druids can indeed cast "revivify". They also can cast "cone of cold"...which is in fact what she casts in the scene shown.
@dexeronstarsurge Жыл бұрын
Based on what they had at the time of stream, druids did *not* have Revivify or Cone of Cold, as those spells were added in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, which was post campaign 1. It was in fact cure wounds and Ice Storm she cast. She wasn't actually dead in stream, on top of the fact if it were Revivify it would have taken a lot more to bring her back, due to Matt's rulings for revival spells. Also, the components are completely wrong, there was no diamond there. Although Cure Wounds doesn't have any component's, generally in the show they may have modified that for Keyleth's casting as she's not great with healing spells in the show. With Ice Storm, it was recreating the scene in which Keyleth managed to set a record for most damage dealt in a single turn, by casting Ice Storm. She hit *a lot* of undead with it dealing over 150 damage in a single cast.

Sunbeam? It's portrayed like a concentration spell that's why I ask. 2:33
@sadknight28262 жыл бұрын
Most of the spell in the breakdown are my best guess based on class, spell used by the character on stream, and artistic design switch is up to the creators and means it could realist be anything. Some spells are confirmed by the events of the stream and the Critical Role team like when Keyleth destroys Sylas that spell is Sunbeam for sure. However cleric's traditional can't use Sunbeam nor can Pike's subclass and she was never know to use the spell ether. Searing Light is a Pathfinder spell which the original game was converted form and is confirmed to be a spell Pike used during stream. Don't get me wrong you can totally be right as their design team takes liberty with the source material so a lot of this spell could be anything but this was the line of question I followed to come to Searing Light and not Sunbeam for the video. Thank you for the comment I hope my answer help explain me reasoning in the video.

She's 100% Wizard, subclass necromancer. She's an acolyte of Vecna, but doesn't AFAIK gain her power from him. (I'm caught up on all 3 campaigns, and the one-shots).

In the campaign, she was just a high level wizard. She was a powerful wizard before she ever interacted with the Whispered One and the only major thing he actually gave her was the ability to brig back Sylas as a vampire after his death iirc
