“Physical Form”


Whether a character is attempting to fight off a restricting spell or a hostile creature is making its appearance known, there are only so many ways you can describe a person’s body. Or, as Matt would say, their “physical form.” Times Matt used the phrase “Physical Form”: 36

“Toothy Maw”

Creatures with large mouths and many teeth lurk in dark places. This description appears to be less common as fewer aberrations were encountered, but “toothy maws” do appear to be one of the first things Vox Machina notice about such terrifying creatures.

Transformations

As we approach the coming new year, we think it’s only fair to consider the transformations that have happened to all of us this year. Whether these transformations take part through the impact that others have had on us (“I turn him into a rat”), or these changes happen through our own volition (e.g., Alter Self, Wild Shape), we’d like to celebrate–

Wait, what do you mean that’s not…

Arrow, Arrow, Arrow.

Anonymous asked: How many arrows has Vex gone through? I don’t remember ever seeing her buy any, but ammo is a constant worry for Percy. Does she just have a million in the bag of holding, or does she have a never-discussed “infinite ammo” perk?

Vex does go through a lot of arrows. The good news is that arrows are easy to come by; a quiver of 20 is a single gold piece. Additionally, half of all unenchanted arrows used can be recovered and reused. Granted, this occurring is a lot lower due to Hail of Thorns, Lightning Arrows, and the Blazing Bowstring, but arrows are still much easier to find than bullets.

To answer your question, no, Matt has made it clear that ammunition, including arrows, are a finite supply. It’s not entirely clear how many she keeps on her person (thanks to @EliseMMorrison for pointing out that she keeps the rest in the Bag of Holding, Ep22, 0:59:00), but 20 arrows is usually more than enough for individual encounters until more have to be retrieved. As for buying them, being in a town and stating that you spend 5 gold to buy 100 arrows outside of the game is usually good enough.

Stoneskin!

Counterspell!

Oh, that wondrous anti-magic reaction. Reminder that a spell of 3rd level of lower automatically fails. If the spell is higher than the level of the counterspell cast, the counter must succeed on a DC of 10 + the spell’s level, or the spell follows through.

Updated through Episode 36. Thanks to TheSingingBadger, Kathatherine, Rusty-Diamond, and DragonMustang01 for their assistance!
