**CHRIS TROTT APPRECIATION POST** I love this campaign so much and everyone in it already but I just gotta say. Trott always embodies his characters completely and roleplays them true to their characters. I absolutely love it. I wanna be like Trott when I roleplay. His voices are great and his whole body seems to embrace his characters’ persona perfectly. (Lucius/Rowan/etc) I absolutely love it.

[@AiceQream]

Don't forget Cam Buckland!

[@MusesWhim]

What I appreciate most about Trott is that he does a lot of subtle in character work to make things run smoothly. It was a lot easier to see in the early episodes of Lightfall because he was the one experienced player with a bunch of newbies. He used Cam's buffoonery to push the characters and story along in game. Either having Cam rush in when they were taking too long to decide how to open a door, or aggrevating the other PCs so the players had something to react to and get over their nervousness RPing. He's also often really in sync with Mark, if you watch, you can see him check in and then move things along so Mark doesn't have to. Even though we never see him DM, I can tell he's good at it.

[@unlikyman]

A quick google for 48:33 this came up : #2 ECHO- Parrot in Witness Protection- In the mid-1990s, a parrot named Echo was one of the first animals to enter the witness protection program. Because witness protection doesn't include shelter for animals, Echo was sent to a wildlife rehab and given explicit instructions to keep hush.

So what we know of their Classes thus far: Gruffudd: Druid, Circle of the Green Shield (Campaign homebrew) Rowan: Bard (confirmed in Episode 3) Ophelia: Barbarian (Dhampir race) Daisy: Rogue (Aasimar race, she cast Light and used Healing Hands) Xantheus: Sorcerer, Runechild origin (from the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting)

[@arcticwiz2249]

i'm going to sugest that Xantheus (Tom's character) is a Runechild Sorcerer from the Tal-dorei campaign guide, except it might be homebrewed to fit the Altheya setting. It's clearly also Clockwork Soul influenced, although the original Tal'dorei guide preceded Tasha's

[@john0919681]

That makes sense in the respective of straight 5e characters, but the one we know of is Kim's character is a Mark Hulmes made character. I think the other ones that fall under Mark Hulmes made characters are Rea, Katie and Tom's characters unless there is a substantial book that I do not know.

[@JumblesaurusFlex]

Not sure if Mark has addressed this yet or if this would be considered too rules-lawyery, but there's an interesting interplay with Mark's Crit rules and best-dragonish-boi Xantheus/Tommy H's Chaos Bolt spell. As per Mark's rules, when you crit, you score max on the dice, then add the dice rolled again, right? So, on that basis, Chaos Bolt's 2d8 +D6 would have effectively rolled 2 8's on the d8's, and 6 on the d6, plus whatever Tom rolled on the "again" rolls. As Tom said, for the Chaos Bolt, if you roll the same number on the d8's, it can then jump to the next enemy. So, does that mean that nat 20's for Chaos Bolt is an auto-bounce to next target? Or is it "proc-ing" off the "same number rule between the d8 and d6?

[@bradleyhurley6755]

Strictly speaking the text of the spell states that if you roll the same number on both d8s, the energy leaps to a different target. If something would cause you to not roll the dice, then you would not be able to leap to a different target. In this case it is probably best to go with you roll the dice and then add max damage to that roll. Either way, it shouldn't be automatic at least according to the rules.

[@alstonjacobs4934]

As was previously stated it is not you roll max damage then roll again, it's you get max damage possible on the dice and then roll.

[@SherlockHulmesDM]

I'll probably have it do max damage on the d8's and d6, and then use the 2nd roll of the dice to determine if it bounces/damage type.

[@lucemferre]

With chaos bolt, crits aren’t considered with the roll. If you crit on a normal chaos bolt, you roll 4d8 (+2d6) but only the initial 2d8 are the ones that matter for bouncing targets.

[@bradleyhurley6755]

@lucemferre generally yes. But I think the hombrew is the damage dice is max and then you roll the crit dice. Which messes with the normal rules. That's an easy fix by just saying the crit damage is maxed.

[@LexSchilperoord]

The druid spell list is larger, and their spell slot capacity is much higher. This is more along the lines of the subclasses that grant spellcasters martial prowess. I'd argue the stat distribution of a druid leaning towards wisdom also fits Gruff better.

[@MorinehtarTheBlue]

@@matthewhoffman9632 I came to that conclusion some time later. Probably the exact reason. I put the last campaign out of my head so I can give this one a fresh perspective but that was a bit of a backfire lol.

[@Idontgiveaduck]

I think I has the most to do with spell list access. Druids can actually be some of the better healers. And having a bard, druid and (maybe) celestial warlock multi class with Katie they will not lack for healing spells which is always at problem low levels.
