Spoilers LOVM The main examples that come to mind are when he is silenced by Delilah and when his arm is immobilised making it so he can't play his instrument ) (Though I will also point out that Scanlan, as well as Delilah, displays his magic to have requirements resembling components. While the story of the show and some of the abilities displayed within are based on a dnd campaign the show itself is in no way bound to the rules of dnd. Do somatic and verbal spell components work differently in exandria, is it a houserule, or just rule of cool? Has this ever been clarified anywhere? I had just assumed it was all happening in the background until I watched the Legends.įirstly, regarding legends of Vox Machina. Examples that stood out include FCG channeling divinity in the middle of the ball, Dorian Curing Wounds with a hand shake and casting a minor illusion in the bathroom with neither instrument or fleece, Imogen casting Sending by just thinking about the person.īeyond these specific examples the cast seems to regularly cast spells with a quippy one-liner for dramatic flair. Scanlan did regularly sing his spells in C1 and Caleb in C2 regularly used material components.īut when I was watching the past 2 episodes of C3 there were a lot of instances that made me wonder, if there is a houserule at the table or a magical quirk of Exandria I had never noticed, as repeatedly throughout the ball there were instances where it would've been strange if not uncouth to break out into magic incantations and hand waving in the middle of a high society gathering. As far as I remember, C1 and C2 had plenty of counterspell shenanigans so presumably there were somatic and verbal component that were in the fiction, but not in real life. Only Delilah seemed to be using somatic and verbal components to cast spells, and that got me thinking back on the actual live streams wondering if it had always been that way. I've been watching the Legends of Vox Machina and something strange stood out to me.
