The attire can shift from position to position/title to title. The color scheme largely revolves around a medium grey and solid blue, with detailing in white & silver at times.

Always classic "monk-style" attire, or do they have all kinds of styles depending on geography/task with colours being the main common thread?

Only some members of the Cobalt Soul are monks. Other members are Knowledge Clerics of Ioun, Bards, Fighters…many are just standard researchers, caretakers, and historians. Remember, few NPCs have an actual character class. 😉 https://t.co/PMxaRg0Jjw

But to answer your question, the attire varies based on position. Researchers and teachers lean more scholarly robes, while clerics bear ceremonial armors and wraps, fighters bear heavier defenses, and monks lean closer to Beau’s esthetic. The colors are the general constant.

always blue/ aquamarine vibes? Elements of it. It’s not strictly enforced, and they don’t have to wear it at all times, but the standard dress generally incorporates the theme.

questions for Lycan BH:

1) do the predatory strikes upgrade with character lvl or BH lvl?

2) Can the predatory strikes deal sneak attack damage considering it can use DEX for attack and damage?

3) Does hunter’s Mark concentration drop when in Hybrid form? 1) They upgrade with BH level
2) They use both, but are not a finesse weapon, so no sneak attack.
3) Hunter’s Mark should remain!

@matthewmercer this is a really stupid question but…why does the Dwendalian Empire have a King and not an Emperor? I'm not trying to be nit-picky, I'm genuinely interested. 🙂

— Joshua Kammert (@JoshuaJKammert) December 17, 2019

There’s a reason, where along the line of Emperors, they found the title “Emperor” was more imposing & unliked, where as a “King” lent itself to a more socially appreciated title. As such, King was adopted for internal approval, but Empire kept for intimidation to outsiders. 🙂 https://t.co/84t9vPJ5Wr

How does it feel that there are other Exandria’s in existence. That Doe’s table is doing entirely different takes on cities and culture and (etc)?

Is it liberating to hear? Sad when you give off more lore that changes some of their tables? Both? I find it extremely awesome, inspiring, and ultimately what I want to hear! Never sad, as my lore can be discarded in favor of any home game’s preferred interpretation

— Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer) December 12, 2019

Semi-related Matt, but since we’re getting a Changeling in the animated show where would you say Changelings tend to show up? Technically (hilariously), changlings also aren’t Exandria canon. That one slipped through via the person who made that list for the KS. So that ACCIDENTALLY became canon due to the internet trolling me.

Hey Matt! A fellow player on our table is playing blood hunter and we are having a bit of a problem with what limitations does hunter’s bane have? Such as range? limit of use? Our DM thinks its too strong to be able to just identify anything at with a check. It’s not an “auto-identify”, as much as they have advantage on checks to recall information about them. How much info and what type of info, however, is up to the DM.

I’m just curious if Rexxentrum was built where it was because of the shackle sealing the Chained Oblivion or does the city predate this event?It was founded around the ruin of an ancient temple to Pelor. 🙂

— Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer) December 12, 2019

So, the chains, in a sense, run through all 666 layers of the Abyss to reach the Oblivion? This seems strange, considering your Divine Gate, wouldn’t that make the chains redundant somehow?

I’m always curious how people build their cosmology, I’m trying to figure out mine.Tharizdun was sealed before the Divine Gate was established, and even then, is possibly one of the entities powerful enough to breach it outside of the chains.

The “chains” aren’t physical chains, but a term for the powerful barriers that contain it, and the fanes that keep ‘em.
