/
Thanks to @quackamos for this art piece!
With Fjord’s decision to take a step into the Wildmother’s service as a paladin, he and the rest of the Nein arrived at level 10! There’s a pretty wide variety of upgrades this level, even before Fjord’s multiclass. He won’t see most of the paladin features until he takes a second paladin level, but for the rest of the Nein, pretty much everyone gets something unique.
In fact, the only thing in common is that every other spellcaster (Nott included) gets an additional cantrip. Half the M9 get archetype features, and the rest get general class features. Jester, Caduceus, and Caleb all get an additional 5th level spell slot per day, but poor Fjord still has to make do with his 2.

Monster Analysis: Gelidon, the Nightmare in Ivory (Ancient White Dragon)

Thanks to @runningcritter1 for this art piece!
First Appearance: 2-75 Rime and Reason
Armor Class 20
Speed 40 ft, 80 ft flying
Blindsight 60 ft, Darkvision 120 ft, Passive 23
Immune to Cold Damage
Legendary Actions, Legendary Resistances
Suggested Average/Max HP: 333, 504
White dragons may be least clever of their type, but their ferocity, unrelenting persistence, and perfect memory make them among the most feared hunters. They decorate their icy lairs with the trophies of those they fell. Coins, diamonds, magical items, anything of value is frozen in solid blocks of ice the dragon can easily bore through, but would take would-be thieves well over an hour to chisel to even touch. Bribes of any value are seen as a grave insult; why accept your piddling offer of platinum when they can just take it over your cold, dead body? That’s how they like it, after all.
This is the third white dragon we’ve seen on Critical Role. Half of Vox Machina took on a “mere” adult white dragon, which provided a very dangerous challenge to the party of five level 11 characters. Later, all of VM successfully battled an ancient white dragon. It had over 850 HP and required the assistance of a powerful fiend just to soften it up for a party of level 15 adventurers with a few Vestiges of Divergence and their own ancient dragon. Keep in mind that the suggested HP values are those presented by the Monster Manual; the dragons of Exandria are made of much tougher material.

Thanks to @BlackSalander for this art piece!
First Appearance: 2-75 Rime and Reason
Armor Class 12
Speed 40 ft, 40 ft climbing
Darkvision 60 ft, Passive 13
Immune to cold damage
Suggested Average, Max HP: 51, 78
Yeti 1: 58 damage taken, 41 killing blow by Nott
Yeti 2: 61 damage taken, 10 killing blow by Beau
Yeti 3: 60 damage taken, 24 killing blow by Jester
Yeti 4: 56 damage taken, 11 HDYWTDT by Caduceus
Yetis are very familiar with the cold. They make their homes among the mountains, using their white fur to blend in with the snow and ice. They live to hunt whatever has the misfortune of coming their way, though they prefer herds of mountainous creatures to humanoids.
This familiarity with the cold does make them somewhat vulnerable to fire. Although they don’t take extra damage from flame, their unfamiliarity with it causes them to fear it, which in turn forces them to roll with disadvantage on checks and attacks until their next turn… assuming they don’t get roasted again or live that long.

Travis: CritRoleStats is on the job.
Marisha: You don’t want to give them that task. That’s a fool’s errand.
