Thumbnail for episode 91. Taliesin, Sam, and Ashley pose side-by-side. Taliesin wears a black jacket over a read shirt and looks frightened, his hand over his lower face. Sam wears a bright yellow puffy jacket and looks angelic, both his hands on his torso as he looks upwards. Ashley wears a muted green dress and looks down sadly. They stand against a colorful backdrop with shapes of yellow and green over white.

Otohan, a woman with stark white hair flowing in the breeze and a stern expression with pursed lips. She wears tight-fitting armor made of many pieces of laced black leather and a red cape with gold trim. In her right hand is a thin blade, held out down and to her side.

66, using a custom version of the Supreme Healing Potion, which was 20d4+20 rather than the RAW 10d4+20 version

Some interesting points of info:

  • Otohan had taken 299 damage when they exalted, after which they became “resistant to damage” (Matt’s phrasing; likely all damage types)
  • Otohan had taken 399 damage when they consumed the health potion
  • Otohan had taken 63 damage between taking the health potion and getting caught in the blast from FCG, meaning that the Hells were 3 points away from negating its effects at the time 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
  • Edited: Matt later added in a tweet that Otohan had under 40hp left at the time of FCG’s sacrifice (and that the blast had no DEX save). This puts Otohan’s total HP somewhere between 400 and 435 hit points. *
  • As Otohan had 4 attacks per turn, she was likely a level 20 Psi Warrior Fighter
  • Otohan seems to have had 2 Legendary Resistances; she used one against Laudna’s blight (C3E091 02:39:13), and Matt later said she had one remaining (C3E091 03:13:46). She had not used that resistance at the time of her death.
  • 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 resistances than any of them. Terrifying!
