Tiberius’s Area-of-Effect Spells

Anonymous asked: How much total damage has Tiberius dealt with area effect spells to enemies in comparison to how much he has dealt to allies/party members?

Tiberius has a few area-of-effect spells at his disposal. In the events of battle, his enemies are not the only ones to have taken the heat of a fireball. If a spell has the potential to deal friendly fire, it’s on this list. (Tiberius is also not the only member to deal damage to the party, but since he has the most potential to do so, this list focuses on him.)

 

Total AoE Damage Dealt: 2619
Total Enemy Damage: 2038
Total Friendly Fire: 561

No AoE Damage by Tiberius in Episodes 18, 19, and 20

Episode 21

(0:18:20) Fireball vs. Otyugh (96:0)

  • 48 Otyugh
  • 48 Rat Swarm

(1:31:20) Obelisk of Stone vs. Possessing Ghosts (62:62)

  • 31 Possessed Keyleth
  • 31 Possessed Vax

*Obelisk of Stone isn’t an AoE spell, but we’re counting it due to the collateral damage. Also, the ghosts don’t take any damage from the spell, but since it was used to eject them from Keyleth, we’re matching the enemy and friendly damage.

Episode 22

(3:47:12) Glacial Blast vs. Fire Elementals (53:70)

  • 35 Elemental 1
  • 18 Elemental 2 (save)
  • 35 Keyleth
  • 35 Grog

*Tiberius usually casts Glacial Blast as a single-target spell. We’re making an exception here because this use attacked multiple targets, and in this case, a couple allies for collateral.

@Starstuff84 on Twitter may have found our first legitimate “Nope” out of Orion. Check out Ep11 (1:16:43) for Tiberius’s failed Nature check vs. the Fomorian. Unfortunately, no number is announced, so we’re in deliberation.

AshesOfValkana gets credit for picking out the “Nope” in Ep20 (2:42:04) when he and Kashaw are checking out the bedroom, and for figuring out that it’s only a 2.

We just have 6 episodes left to look through for any remaining ones, but in the meantime, what do you all think? Natural 1, or just a low roll?

After further analysis, we have come to the conclusion that Tiberius’s Nature check was merely a low number rather than a Natural 1. Immediately before Orion’s roll, Sam rolled a declared Natural 1. We find it improbable that Orion would not have commented on the oddity that both individuals had rolled a 1 in succession. Since his first reaction was to move along rather than remark on it, we conclude that Orion’s roll was merely low, and not a Natural 1.

Naturally, if Orion counters this conclusion with his own memory of this specific roll, then we will be forced to recognize it as a Natural 1. Unless that happens or until another example is encountered, Orion’s record on Critical Role shall stand at two Nat1s, first gained in Episode 22.

The Benedict Cumberbatch of Critical Role

Special thanks to AshesOfValkana for this submission!

So Will Friedle was amazing and I loved how he stuck with just getting Tiberius’s name wrong for so long. Seriously, it wasn’t until during the battle with the ghosts in part 4 that he got it right, and after that the next time he says it is when they’re back at the Slayer’s Take. Here’s a compilation of the names and Tiberius/Orion’s reactions!

Kashaw: Stormfather 
Tiberius: “It’s Stormwind!”

Kashaw: Stormcloud
Tiberius: “… wind, hmpf.”

Kashaw: Stormshadow
Tiberius: “Oh okay. It’s wind. Stormwind. Okay.”

Tiberius: *introduces himself as Tiberius Stormwind*
Kashaw:
 "Oh, Stormwind??? I need to remember that…“

Kashaw: Stormlightning *while complimenting Tiberius*
Tiberius: “It’s wind but okay thank you very much”

Kashaw: Stormdragon
Tiberius: *shouting from the other room* “It’s Stormwi-, it’s fine…”

Kashaw: Stormwind (!)
Orion: *jumps in his seat in surprise, doesn’t get the chance to say something back*

Update: Thanks to chaoswolf1982 for a correction on the editor’s part regarding the moniker Stormshadow.
