Comment from discussion [Spoilers E106] Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting AMAQuestion: The book mentions that there’s “magical abuse” going on in Emon due to how much money is owed to the Lyceum. Could you elaborate on the kinds of abuse that is happening?This can mean many things, but I interpret it as: 1) Bullying through arcane intimidation, and 2) Use of some forms of magic that are generally considered uncouth or socially unacceptable (like necromancy, mind-and-memory altering magics)..
Critical Role
Exandria is the name of the world on which most events of Critical Role take place. Tal’dorei and Wildemount

So beside being cool is there any benefit to floating cities?
so beside being cool is there any benefit to floating cities Mobility. When the core of your arcane engines, ritual sites, and populace can be shifted towards bountiful sources of power, or away from dangers… it can be pretty useful!

Would a Clay golem be entirely made of clay, including its innards?
DM question @matthewmercer for the purposes of storyboard visual representation :
Would a Clay golem be entirely made of clay, including its innards? If one were to cut it in half (like Orym did on C3), would it just melt into two parts? Dry out and crack? thanks 🙌 In my opinion, I imagine there are some “arcane” innards, like a power sphere that runs the numerous runic details (like enchanted bracers or other elements that also help anchor the creation). As for the aftermath… I like the divide-and-crack. 😉

Hey Matt, what’s your method for rolling stats?
I’ve heard your way of rolling stats involved meeting a threshhold. I was wondering what that thresh-hold is. I know standard array totals to around 73 points and standard point buy is 75 so I imagine it’s around there. What’s your method for rolling stats? 🙂 My threshold is generally around 73 these days, unless the player wishes to keep lower.
