[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 8934661, member: 6796661"] I remember that dragon fighting scene from the live play. It was cool to see it animated. I believe [URL='https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YxNsbZUcU_w670DslEi85_EJTGGcabhjRwJd5cTqfho/edit#gid=0']most of the characters were level 14 when they fought Umbrasyl[/URL]. I didn't listen to the entire live play, especially the later episodes, I'm interested to see how they depict tier 4 play. One way that the show is not depicting "typical" D&D is that it focuses on high levels. In the live stream they started at level 9 and went up to level 20. This makes it it appropriate for the over the top anime style combats you see in the show. For those that are interested, CR Stats analyses the combat from the live play: [URL='https://www.critrolestats.com/blog/2017/2/24/monster-analysis-umbrasyl-the-hope-devourer-part-1']Monster Analysis: Umbrasyl, The Hope Devourer (Part 1) — CritRoleStats[/URL] and [URL='https://www.critrolestats.com/blog/monster-analysis-umbrasyl-the-hope-devourer']Monster Analysis: Umbrasyl, The Hope Devourer (Part 2) — CritRoleStats[/URL] One take away that mirrors my experiences running 5e is that in late Tier 3 and Tier 4 play, even ancient dragons need to be spell casters to be a real threat to PCs.
