How many times has…?

Due to the recent release of our word count posts, we’ve had an influx of requests to track more. The posts we’ve made are the result of nearly a year’s worth of tracking; required the effort of over 100 volunteers; and months of work on our part to coordinate volunteers, collect stats, edit, format, check, and post. 

With the sheer volume of content now, we decided that, once we were done tracking previously made requests, we would no longer take requests that require a full-show rewatch. Further, we no longer take requests for tracking a particular phrase or word. We have amazing volunteers, and we want to make sure we can make the best use of their time and energy as possible.

Is it listed anywhere how Matt goes about giving his players feats?

Matt goes by the D&D 5e PHB, which allows a player to choose a feat or ability score increase at levels 4, 8, 12, and 16.

How much damage could Percy have done to Raishan if she really was there during the meeting?

Had Percy hit Raishan, he would have dealt 1d8+ 1 + 6 DEX Slashing Damage + 3d6 additional damage (because she’s a dragon) per hit. So, anywhere between 11 and 59 damage per strike.

Did anyone write down what the Sultan’s full name and titles were?

Fortunately for us, the name and title comes straight out of lore from the Forgotten Realms:

The Grand Sultan of All the Efreet, The Lord of the Flame, The Potentate Incandescent, The Tempering and Eternal Flame of Truth, The Most Puissant of Hunters, Marshall of the Order of the Fiery Heart, The Smoldering Dictator, The Crimson Firebrand, Marrake al-Sidaan al-Hariq ben Lazan

Birds of a Feather

Qui11iam asked: How many birds has the cast flipped over the course of the show?

While the rogue has definitely been responsible for the most “daggers” thrown, the rest of the cast has shown that they can throw their own fair share. 

Number of party birds: 51

Number of Liam birds: 24

I’ve heard Pike’s infamous mic bump during the episode “Denouement” mentioned multiple times. When exactly did this happen?

Ep35, p2. 0:36:10

Wondering how stats were generated for the party? Was it “roll 4d6 drop 1, assign numbers” or something? I’m getting a 5e group together and am curious; it’s sometimes hard to get decent stats out of some of the roll methods. Thanks!

Matt confirmed on Reddit that they roll 4d6, drop 1, arrange, and reroll them all if they don’t add up to at least 70.

Chroma Conclave attack?

The Story of Vox Machina

(0:13:50) Our heroes then locate and enter the home of General Krieg, finding a brainwashed servant, and a hidden passage that leads to a teleportation circle.  Using the device, they are transported to a distant cavern, high in a range of frost-covered mountains... and an incredible hoard of gold, jewels, and fine trinkets.

Across the room are 4 obsidian orbs set within the rock. As one is touched, a giant eye appears from within the black crystal and a voice erupts, calling for a "Brimsythe," and noticing the unfamiliar folk, growls, "Intruders... I know your face now. He is a fool, and so are you, insect." The orbs all crack simultaneously, becoming inert.

Just a reminder to check out our new FAQ page for many of your Critical Role curiosities!

Which character has dealt the most damage in a single round of combat?

Keyleth, with her Pit of Doom™ swallowing four members of Grog’s herd and causing 332 damage (Ep51, 0:28:55). Behind that, we have her 294 damage from Fire Storm against the Wyverns and Lizardfolk (Ep42, 2:01:10), and Grog’s 140 damage against the Emon looters (Ep41, 1:54:24). Thanks to an anonymous critter for the reminder about Fire Storm!

(Note: We aren’t counting effects like Pike’s Destroy Undead, or Keyleth’s Sleet Storm or Tidal Wave for this because, come on. As high as the damage would be, at best we can only estimate the damage done against the skeletal hordes and fire elementals.)

From what item does Keyleth get her wisdom bonus?

It’s her Circlet, which was a homebrew item that gives her +2 Wisdom.
