    omg what an epic battle arena fight. Totally didn't expect it, I totally didn't think we needed it as in my opinion I enjoyed the stories so far in seasons 1 and 2. As I kept listening to this episode I thought, damn I am so wrong, this fight is getting mad dope. Loved how Donatello tanked like a boss, Barrack acted as support and Joden came in clutch at the end with his memory re-activating again to save the crew at the last moment. Bravo sir, Bravo.

    @danielwhite1890 Год назад +2

    small thing that didnt come up malathrex because of bens ruling, a ranged weapons range, being formatted at 80/240 means that you attack at normal agaisnt anyone in 80, and have disadvantage against anyone between 80 and 240, and cant target people beyond that range, you only get natural disadvantage on ranged attacks when the target is within 5 ft, or you are prone

    • @Malathrex
      @Malathrex  Год назад +1

    Hmm, if this is using 5E rules, I don't think Barack can use two spells in one turn unless the second is a cantrip. He used Lightning bolt and then healing word, neither are cantrips. Is this a homebrew rule I may have missed, or some feat?
    Not the end of the world for him to use, but just something I realized.

    • @Malathrex
      @Malathrex  Год назад +1

      Dang, yep, I did not know about that rule. I was looking at lightning bolt as an action and then healing word as a bonus action, but didn’t know about the double spell rule. That’s my bad haha

      @@Malathrex Not a big deal! Critical Role used a house rule involving double spells in the first campaign that as long as the second spell was 2nd level or lower, it was fine. Later campaign went more traditional. Could say it was a house rule Ben is following.

    Not to sound disrespectful or ungrateful (your works rocks!), but this kind of combat heavy scenario would really gain a lot from having some visual representation, like Relleke does.
