Vox machina translation3/10/2023 ![]() ![]() An ancient red dragon in the MM has +17 to its melee attacks, so outside of a Natural 1, Thordak is guaranteed to hit Scanlan every time. Armor Class: Scanlan’s armor class dropped to a mere 14 since the Fort Daxio battle, making him very easy to hit.Wisdom saves are used for a lot of spells. Wisdom Saves: Jack of All Trades saves him on Wisdom ability checks, but Grog’s not the only one with negative modifiers on some saves.Mobility: Gnome legs only carry Scanlan 25 feet per round.Fatigue: Scanlan takes a point of exhaustion for using Mythcarver’s awakened ability.Goodness: Pike is a cinnamon roll: too good, too pure for this world.Stealth: Plate armor and being sneaky do not mix.Mobility: Gnome legs only carry Pike 25 feet per round.Spell Choices: Pike, like Keyleth and Vax, chooses spells at the top of the day, so she runs the risk of “bad” situational choices if she picks the “wrong” spells.Armor Class: An ancient red dragon in the MM has +17 to its melee attacks, so outside of a Natural 1, Thordak is guaranteed to hit Percy (AC 18) every time. ![]() Melee Attacks: Percy’s damage-dealing capabilities drop off significantly when enemies get close (possible exception: dragons, if he has the dragonslaying longsword attuned, which he currently does not).Darkness: Percy is the only current member of VM without darkvision.Additionally, he takes damage when Animus misfires. Bad Rolls: Percy’s guns can misfire and break in the (admittedly rare until Ep 77) case that Taliesin rolls badly.Armor Class: An ancient red dragon in the MM has +17 to its melee attacks, so outside of a Natural 1, Thordak is guaranteed to hit Keyleth (AC 17) every time.She’s gotten around this in the past by casting concentration spells like Call Lightning before shifting, but in emergencies, she has to transform back before casting, often wasting the form. Spellcasting When Transformed: Keyleth can’t cast spells when using Wild Shape, so she generally has to pick one or the other.Spell Choices: Keyleth, like Pike and Vax, chooses spells at the top of the day, so she runs the risk of “bad” situational choices if she picks the “wrong” buff or protection spells.Armor Class: An ancient red dragon in the MM has +17 to its melee attacks, so outside of a Natural 1, Thordak is guaranteed to hit Grog (AC 15) every time.Fatigue: Grog takes a point of exhaustion every time he comes out of a frenzied rage.This is, of course, except when Travis’ uncanny ability to crit at the moment most likely to bother Matt comes into play. Intelligence checks and saves: That -2 modifier is killer, so when Grog’s up against little brains with legs or trying to see through illusions, he could get into some trouble.Ranged Attacks: It’s difficult for Grog to do damage and tank at range (caveat: his new boots may help nullify some of this difficulty).And don’t worry, we’ve got a post on individual and group strengths coming tomorrow, so stay tuned! Grog Note that this list isn’t in any particular order and isn’t intended to be exhaustive- you may well come up with things that we haven’t thought of. Good question, anon! This was going to be included in Quick Answers 38, but we kept thinking of stuff to add, and it sort of grew out of control into its own post (big surprise, right?).
