D&D General Critical Role Campaign 4 Discussion Thread

[TiQuinn]

Seems like a good idea to just have a general discussion thread for folks who are following along with the new campaign.

I would only ask that if anyone is posting here about an episode prior to when it releases on YouTube to use spoiler tags.

So episode 6!

That was a good amount of combat, narrative scenes, and wilderness exploration - pretty much what I’d call a gold standard for what I’d like to see in my own games! The combat was intense - that attack roll Brennan did in front of everyone to see if he was going to one shot Wicander was incredible.

We’re starting to see a little bit more of what it may mean to be a demon in this setting in regards to Tyranny. On the one hand, Brennan really made it tempting for her to steal the knife. On the other hand, I felt really damn bad when she did it, which again is credit to Brennan’s roleplaying of Ulbid to make me feel that. And that’s what demons do, don’t they? They cause good people pain because it’s their nature. Just good stuff.

I also watched the cooldown episode: of note, first acknowledgment of Jeremy Crawford and Chris Perkins’ hands in the campaign - the atlatl that Kattigan used was specially designed for his character with them, including the range restriction. I’m not totally sure that’s how an atlatl works…I think the range on those IRL are pretty decent, but it what it is.

Haven't seen it yet. What did they do with the Atlatl? It's pretty explicitly a tool that increases the range of several other projectile types.

His club apparently also functions as an atlatl but with only a range of 20-40. So part of me is just trying to picture this to begin with because I think of an atlatl as being an extra fulcrum on a javelin/spear that gives it extra range or velocity.

Weird. Slings and Javelin are already 30/120.
