D&D 5E Call of the Netherdeep Previews

Other than some announcements about delays, the buzz around Call of the Netherdeep, the latest Critical Role underwater-themed hardcover from WotC, has been a little muted. But there have been some previews which have snuck online, including Shaggy from Scooby Doo, and Yoda! These previews center around the adventuring rivals which feature in the game. Call of the Netherdeep launches next month in Europe, and next week in North America.

"Take a dive into the new dynamic character building for Rival NPCs in Call of the Netherdeep. Watch as both the leader Ayo Jabe and her party change and adapt to every crucial moment in your campaign."

Meet Irvan Wastewalker: a man who isn't afraid to take a hit, but is constantly beating himself up.

This humble goblin cleric is willing to follow his friends into the most perilous situations.

Take a dive into the new dynamic character building for Rival NPCs in Call of the Netherdeep. Watch as both the leader Ayo Jabe and her party change and adapt to every crucial moment in your campaign.

A beautiful mind combined with a keen sense of surroundings and a 12-foot stature. The ogre mercenary Maggie will be a fierce rival to your party in Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep.

A couple of monsters found their way over to ComicBook.com, too!

Poor dermot, his multiattck encompasses one melee and one ranged attack. That is a bit cumbersome.

I am never sure if these Critical Role books are serious or comedy.

I saw it mentioned somewhere else that class is only shown in NPC statblocks for spellcasters for whatever reason, so presumably he's more of a fighter-type.

Missing the fact that he can make a ranged attack, blind his enemy, close the distance, attack with advantage and retreat without provoking AoO

I am more interested in how people are supposed to get underwater and stay there?

I was hoping for something with more limits than magic

The PCs are using diving bell in a campaign I'm running. Plenty of limits but really opens up where they can explore.
