At first I thought this was something he had planned with Matt, like FCG would go out at some point, and then they'd take him to Aeor or even to Tarry to be rebuilt with a new body, but as it went on and multiple rewatches you can see Matts initial look of utter disbelief, then shock and horror, and then the tears started. It could still happen, but in this moment, this was pure Sam Riegel doing what he does best, creating some of the best CR moments of all time. You can look back on it, when everybody is taking their turns, you can see the gears turning as he's coming up with what he needs to do, it's the same with Scanlan using his 9th level to counterspell, he was just in pure focus mode, looking through everything he had, trying to find anything that would save them.

@acollectionofthings Ай бұрын

There were several times during the last hour of the fight that Sam was texting, some of which appeared to be with Matt. This makes me believe Sam was thinking about the possibility of sacrificing himself early on when he saw how poorly things were going. Does this diminish the impact or validity of his decision? In my mind, absolutely not. It was a clutch move, and very likely the only way to avoid a TPK based on the condition of the rest of the party. Thanks for putting together this edit of the episode.

First, what Sam says about realizing for the first time that despite being made of metal and wires that he is alive and it's because of the connections he's made with the rest of Bell's Hells, that he gladly makes this sacrifice to save their lives, is beautiful. I make a point to not get attached to my TTRPG characters. They're really just numbers on paper but, damn it, Sam! These moments in CR get me all teary eyed. Second, FCG went out like a f***ing boss!

i like that there is a rule (altho not 100% sure if it is a rule lol) that genuine self sacrifice like this will bypass any damage resistances

@cognitionignition Ай бұрын

I believe it's a rule called "Blaze of Glory" in their new Daggerheart game system. Choosing to go out like this automatically crits on the character's final action. It's not a D&D thing, officially, but even if the math didn't work out under 5e rules, Matt exercised his DM's prerogative to pay off Sam's choice with narrative justice in the spirit of the Blaze of Glory rule, which was clearly where this moment with FCG needed to go.

Even speaking from my perspective, as someone who isn't really a huge fan of this season while also vehemently disagreeing with the idea that D&D "needs" character death to be interesting, this was just amazingly beautiful. I think using character death as a crutch, in any form of writing, is just being a lazy writer, but Mollymauk's and FCG's deaths show how to do it right, and to lend meaning to your story. Also, crucially, Sam willingly decided to do this, and to end his character arc this way - no random chance, no bad luck, just a willing decision to go out in the most meaningful way possible for the character.

My headcanon is that it was 20d8 + 20, though I didn't run the numbers maybe that's still not enough. It could also be that it did a damage type she couldn't resist. Who knows, maybe she was vulnerable to love damage.

@properfunny Ай бұрын

Not really, Matt has been known to fudge the rules for the players if it would be thematically appropriate. Here, much like the Wrath of Kahn clip, Matt realized that this was appropriate and after confirming that Sam knew what he was doing gave the party the victory. Now the question has become how will the party respond because when Sam pulled this they all broke character hard when they realized what Sam’s plan was.

@Kalah_ Ай бұрын

I think Sam understood that there was no winning this fight. Once Otohan "reset" and healed up, they were all going to die. FCG (as well as the others) were all dead anyway, so I bet he thought "Might as well try to take her with me." I don't want to be too critical of Matt, because these encounters are usually incredibly well balanced, but I think he missed a bit with this one. Letting Otohan both have an AC of 25, be resistant to all damage, have her action surges (plural) back, heal over 60 hit points, be determined to kill them all AND be too fast to run away from... in sum it made the fight unsurvivable.
