C3E092 Broken Roads

Our Episode 92 data is now online. Some highlights:

First, you’ll notice that we’ve added previous guest characters (up through the split) to our “Data by Character” page. As we presently only track Campaign 3 data and there’s not yet much C3 data for the Crown Keepers, they haven’t yet been added, but may be in the future.

One Crown Keeper, however, does have a brand-new page on the site. Dorian Storm returns to the table after 78 episodes away, eight levels higher than we last saw him in Campaign 3.  In episodes 1-14 he rolled nine Nat 20s and five Nat 1s; we’ll see in Episode 93 if he can keep up that luck.

We also wanted to note that Opal dealt 69 points of damage in Episode 92. Nice.

Secondly: Bell’s Hells have returned to Exandria after nine episodes and roughly two full days of in-game time. They arrived in early afternoon, spent the early evening at the Razora Outpost, and discovered the backdoor to Ruidus that night.

They set off the next morning for Kreviris, arrived in the afternoon, and slept at the resistance safehouse before carrying out their missions the next day and returning to Exandria in the evening.

We are exhausted just thinking about this.

Did you find our tribute to FCG on his highlights page?

(It's a functional coin flipper, not just an animation, and now we understand why FCG used coin tosses for decisions so much—it's addictive!)

C3E091 True Heroism

The Archivists have been hard at work gathering Episode 91 data. You can visit our site for a fuller picture, but some highlights are below, starting with some statistics about our beloved Faithful Care-Giver:

FCG dealt 967 points of confirmed damage over the course of the campaign, with their top damage episode being C3E057 The Sorrow of Molaesmyr, when they did 150 points of damage.

But, as we know, his greatest strength was in protecting his friends. Across 91 episodes, FCG gave 1,452 points of confirmed healing. Their final episode, C3E091 True Heroism, was also their top healing episode with 286 HP.

Additionally, FCG used Transfer Suffering to mitigate 243 points of damage across the campaign. Of all the Hells, he most frequently took damage for Imogen, and took the highest number of points for Fearne.

Appropriately, their favorite spell was Guidance, which they cast 140 times. Their other top spells/features included Cure Wounds, Transfer Suffering, Enhance Ability, and Channel Divinity (Sympathetic Binding).

At the time of their death, FCG had taken more damage than any other PC: a whopping 2,062 points of damage over the course of the campaign.

He got three HDYWTDTs, wished people a smiley day 51 times, and made (or inspired) 66 unfortunate references to having a flesh tongue.

He was made of metal and wires, but he was alive, and because of him, his friends are too.  

Visit our site for the rest of our FCG highlights, as well as a special tribute that you should make sure to click. As for the Legend of the Peaks, some truly frightening highlights:

Otohan Thull dealt 847 points of damage. With four attacks per turn, they were likely a level 20 Psi Warrior fighter. She had two legendary resistances, and she took a total of 501 points of damage, 299 of these before exalting.

At 399 damage, Otohan took a health potion and healed 66 points. She then took 63 additional points of damage before FCG made their sacrifice.

Presuming that Otohan was not resistant to the damage from FCG’s explosion (79), which seems likely given the particular arcane nature of FCG’s core, that puts her total HP somewhere between 400 and 475 points.

For comparison, these stats put her in the same HP range as a Forge Guardian, the demon prince of undeath Orcus, or an Ancient Dragon Turtle, with more multi attacks and damage resistances than any of them. Terrifying! 

Visit our Episode 91 page here for more detail about Otohan, and check out our homepage for some additional highlights.

Stats coming soon...

What an episode, huh? The Omen Archive will aim to have each episode's stats online by the subsequent Thursday, as our goal is to be as reliable and accurate as our predecessors—two things that take time. That said, we have a LOT in the works for Episode 91 and can't wait to share it with you.

[omenarchive]

This is so cool! Thanks for the heads up, and thanks to The Pixelists for the kind words and enthusiasm.

The Pixelists gave a lovely shoutout to @omenarchive

[omenarchive]

We're happy to see people getting excited about discovering new data via our site, but there's one important detail we want to be sure to clarify. Abundant credit is due to the team at CritRoleStats for not only lending us all of the pre-Episode 82 data on our site, but also for providing a partial foundation for some of the above categories where we hope to expand. While some of the data we eventually add to the site will be new from the ground up, thus far a lot of our work has been providing new interfaces and visualizations for engaging with the work the CritRoleStats team has already done!

Welcome to the Omen Archive!

We're pleased to see you. You may note the “pardon our moon dust” banner at the top of our site. We’ve been weighing site readiness against a desire to launch, and finally felt we had reached the tipping point. This doesn’t, however, mean that things are complete: there is a long list of projects on the docket. Some are below. 

We intend, in time, to add:

A single campaign-at-a-glance page

Character cards (current level)

Character cards (previous levels)

Character level-up summaries for each level

Character damage taken

Fearne’s Wild Shapes

Chetney’s Hybrid Transformations

Chetney’s toys

Times that FCG snaps

Laudna’s Hunger of the Shadow

Imogen’s dreams

Laudna’s “capable”s

Ruidus flares

FCG’s baked goods

Delilah appearances

Campaign calendar

Dynamic character/party inventories

Visited locations list

Improved ability to sort existing lists and tables

Additional data visualizations (graphs, etc.)

If there are additional stats you’d like to see collected, please email us at sending@omenarchive.com, as well as (if relevant) some notes about how you tend to use that type of data (for example, running some analysis of your own, cross-checking lore, researching fanfiction, etc.). We’re always happy to add new things to the list where we can. 

Keep visiting the site for updates, and keep an eye on our social media for announcements of additions and changes to our stats and interface.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome!

New Blood, Old Regards

Thanks to @eyeofthenewt1 for this art piece!

Greetings! Although the Stats Team is still in a state of retirement, we’ve periodically updated several of our Campaign 3 Running Stats categories and galleries thanks to the efforts of a new team of data collectors. This team, consisting of Archivists Astral, Ethereal, Fey, and Shadow, have been preparing since the beginning of the year to launch their own site, and that day has come! With that, we’re pleased to present:

The Omen Archive

Although they have been providing CritRoleStats updates for our Campaign 3 records, their site will be its own thing with its own tools, toys, and focuses, such as graphics derived from their own databases of data. Please visit them at their website, reach out to them, and check them out on their various social media pages:

Website: https://www.omenarchive.com/

Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/omenarchive

Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/omenarchive.bsky.social

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omen_archive/

Tumblr: https://omenarchive.tumblr.com/ ( @omenarchive )

CritRoleStats will continue to update our databases and running stats pages with the data we receive from the Omen Archive until the end of the campaign, so that anyone from academics to casual fans have access to a complete catalogue of three campaigns worth of data. After that, our site will be completely (accessibly) archived, and our legacy will be carried on entirely by projects like the Omen Archive.

Thanks Are In Order

Outside of our final livecast, we realize we went out without the proper thanks to the community members who helped us grow. We’d like to take this opportunity to give credit where we feel it’s due.

We’d like to thank the team at Critical Role for their support over the years, with special thanks to Dani Carr for both her wonderful spirit, tenacious work ethic, and the marvelous send-off she gave us.

We’d like to thank the creators in the community. Thank you to the artist community for letting us feature your wonderful talent to give vibrancy to the numbers and words we’ve filled. Thank you to the information gathering community, from the wiki workers to the meta analysts, for giving your time to help make Critical Role more accessible. Thank you to the academics for finding value we didn’t know we had in our work. Thank you to everyone who creates in this community, whether your medium is music, words, stats, or art; whether you share for a large audience or for the joy of your private home or table; whether you encourage others with high presence, or quietly inspire and support from the shadows. Your creation makes the world a more interesting place.

We’d like to thank both our patrons and our Ko-Fi supporters for allowing us to carry on for as long as we have, and to make sure our work can continue to reach those who want to be informed and inspired. Thank you to our regular visitors, as well; traffic is supportive in several ways!

Thank you to those who have been with us, whether it’s the very beginning, sometime in the middle, or even if you’re tuning in just now. Your patronage and your expression of value in our work has been a blessing. (Thanks for the 1d4.) We’d also like to thank everyone who has continued to visit the site in spite of the lack of regular content creation on our part, and are grateful that so many of you are still finding use in the previous campaigns’ worth of data, as well as the current one.

We love you all very much. Now, back to retirement!
