Personally I really doubt that they will be able to have Keyleth revive Laudna, mostly for plot stakes reasons, but I can imagine them keeping her body under gentle repose long enough for FGC to reach 9th level and get raise dead.

I hope for this outcome just becouse the idea of Bell's hells walking around with the... the corpse of a already dead woman, full on "Weekend at Bernie's" style for 2 entire levels absolutely hilarious.

Bonus points if they have Marisha's substitute PC find out about it.

Oh shit, I just thought of this now.

Just follow me:

LUCIEN/MOLLY ORIGIN BOOK

Critical Role fans: I can’t believe we’re saying goodbye to the Mighty Nein forever!! 😭😭

Me, who remembers that Campaign 1 ended in 2015 and Vox Machina has since received two art books, a prequel novel, several comics, 3 one-shot epilogues, and an upcoming TV show from Amazon: LMAO BITCH WHAT

People should really start thinking before talking, or at the very least understand how a TTRPG works.

No, not every person they encounter should be build as if it was a PC. I don't remember anyone being bothered in my years that a Beholder should only have ability's similar to PC and Lucien is in a similar boat.

While he IS a blood hunter and has the BH ability's , he is also someone who somehow was chosen by some fucked up aberant floating city.

Giving NPC's unique and more powerful ability's makes them a scary and interesting, and they should be scary if they have an antagonistic role in the story.

His ability's SHOULD be unique. Immagine if the final boss in the campaign was just a LV20 warrior. Not very exciting. Vecna was not just a strong wizard, he was a god with unique powers that no pc could ever reach.

The important thing is to hint to these powers if they outside of the scope of the player's, and Matt has done a lot with Lucien, considering that he killed Ves probably while using his Beholder-Like eye, so it should never be a surprise that he can dispell magic like he does.

Tldt. Just because a creature is a humanoid it doesn't mean that he should be bound to class levels.

I feel all conversations about how Lucien does what he does and trying to map it to or make it fit inside strict mechanical class parameters needs to remember:
