![]() ![]() Thanks to for this art piece! What about the Raven Queen? They both also have skills and weapons that deal extra damage specifically to undead, like Divine Smite and Pike’s Mace of Disruption. Both Vax and Pike also have ready sources of radiant damage at their disposal, which is almost required to effectively kill any vampires wandering the plane. Undead and fiends have disadvantage on their wisdom saves against this effect. Paladins have even more weapons against the undead: they can use Divine Sense to pinpoint undead presence and Oath of Vengeance paladins, like Vax, can Abjure Enemy to frighten their opponents. The most we know about the Gloom Stalkers is their name, since they have thankfully not yet spotted Vox Machina (or at the very least, they have yet to take an active interest in them).Ī cleric like Pike has the Channel Divinity ability to Destroy Undead, which has already proven useful in the last day for Vox Machina, as they dealt with the small horde of skeletons Delilah and her cultists summoned. (Coincidentally, if Strahd von Zarovich resides somewhere in the planes of Critical Role, his home would be accessible in the Shadowfell.) So far, we’ve seen two specific creatures native to the Shadowfell, one of which is confirmed to be undead. ![]() ![]() Thanks to for this art piece! Going in with Pike and Vax is going to help a LOTĪs we’ve seen, there is no sun in the Shadowfell, which makes life a lot more pleasant for creatures that are evaporated in light like, say, a vampire. Keyleth and Pike, who both have access to these spells (as well as the ability for a quick escape via Plane Shift for Keyleth), will likely be essential for overcoming any of these problems. Neither Heroes’ Feast nor any other spell protects against those conditions, though there are spells that can restore a creature to normality once afflicted (assuming their companions notice that something is wrong). Each of these manifests in different ways, both in mechanics and in role-playing. Failures result in gaining one of three conditions: madness, dread, or apathy. If he chooses to implement them (as he did with the Feywild optional rules from the 5th edition DMG), Matt can have VM roll wisdom saves when he deems it appropriate (though the DMG suggests not more than once a day in general). From Gilmore’s input (Episode 38), this was likely where Vecna had built his place of worship and the forces of good went 600 years ago to defeat him. Thanks to some poor history checks, we don’t know much about the city, though many of the skeletons patrolling the area around the orb were wearing armor with Pelor’s mark, indicating a battle had been fought there. The cultist also called the ruins of the city they arrived in Thar Amphala, and the black tower Entropis. Presumably, he is unaware that they have the symbols needed to return via the orb, or that they can Plane Shift. However, he saw Vox Machina as the undead creatures that Scanlan had disguised them as. As for their return to the Material Plane, the cultist they interrogated seemed to think they would be stuck there. Vox Machina, thanks to Delilah’s handiwork and the expedited deaths of several cultists, passed through the orb in Whitestone with little difficulty. If you’ve read Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book (and you should), they’re very similar to the entrances to Ghûlheim.ĭelilah and the Remnant were able to create portals/siphons to the Shadowfell on the ziggurats (more on those later). The portals to the Shadowfell are in places like the darkest corner of a graveyard. The purple, sentient field in the Feywild would be a gray briarpatch in the Shadowfell. A city street on the Prime Material may be reflected in the Shadowfell as a rock-covered path. Think The Doldrums from The Phantom Tollbooth: everything is in gloomy grayscale. Whereas the Feywild was like the PM with the color saturation turned way up, the Shadowfell hits the other end of the spectrum. Just like the Feywild, the Shadowfell is a plane adjacent to the Prime Material. Thanks to for this art piece! If the Feywild was a jump to the left, the Shadowfell is a step to the right ![]()
