Necro'ing this, but well, the real Acererak was the boss of Tomb of Horrors. IF you actually encountered him (There was a fake in the ToH as well, a zombie gussied up to look like a mighty Lich), then he really only had one attack. He would use it on the strongest member of the party. Instant Death, No Save, no resist, nothing. He straight up eats your fucking soul and you die with nothing short of a max power Wish Spell being able to bring you back.

@@canaryinacoalmine1759 I Demi pitch needs a phylactery for their soul, to stop it from going to the afterlife. They must feed this phylactery souls in order to maintain both it and their own soul. A Demi litch if formed in two ways. The first is that a litch fails to feed its phylactery and degrades into a Demi litch. due to the Demi litch description of Acerac for seeing his own degradation, this might be an inevitability rather than a possibility, likely caused by the phylactery slowly failing. These Demi Litches are lesser than litches The second is the path pioneered by acererak, where becoming a Demi litch is used a the next step in a litches undead evolution/life. This involves taking the litches skull and turning it into their phylactery. Important to know is that if a phylactery is destroyed the litch will not reform if defeated, with a Demi litch only having a phylactery for a physical form (their skull), their phylactories destruction cause’s the end of their immortal life, thus The original Acererak is gone for good.

I've got another little fact of lore for you, regarding the fate of the original Acererak: In the 3.5e book "Tome of Magic" they introduce vestiges, a kind of being who died under such strange conditions, that it was thrown out of the normal bounds of the multiverse. They can now only have sensual experiences inside the Multiverse, by forming pacts with its inhabitants and then entering their bodies and grant the host powers in return. Acererak ist listet as one of those vestiges and explained to have become such a being upon his defeat within the Tomb of Horrors. He had attempted to become one with the Negative Energy Plane and succeeded far enough, that the pull of the plane prevented his soul from drifting to the afterlife, but since it could not enter the Negative Energy Plane either, it remained expelled from the Multiverse. If this lines up with the lore from other sources, I don't know, but the sourcebook is an official one.

2:10 what...? The story of the simulacrum was a small little adventure. And TOH has a sequel called Return to the Tomb of Horrors which continues on into the 4e Tomb of Horrors which is a continuation of that where it explains why Acererak survives (I won’t spoil it here in case anyone wants to look) This is a cool theory/self made lore but cannon wise he’s just very *very* difficult to kill because of tendencies to become a vestige. As for why he’s a ArchLich and not Demi-lich, I think that has to do with Demi-Liches being nerfed as a weaker form in 5e. Also 5e seems to have done a soft reboot on him as well hence no mentions of his history other than Oerth

But yeah that’s just another contradiction in 5E. I suspect this is because Demi-Liches have been downgraded in 5E yet Acererak is supposed to be a more powerful than normal lich.

I always find it interesting that a lot of people who grew up on 2e either love or hate 5e. Most seem to love it. I grew up on 3e so 5e was a disappointment to me as it was extremely flat, streamlined, and changed the dynamics of all power to be 100% on the side of players. And the change in player base mentality has been extremely difficult. You'll find players these days find even the possibility of death to be offensive and a sign of a bad DM.

Honestly, I'd say this adventure was better than Curse of Strahd. They're both solid, but Strahd's strength is that it's heavy on the narrative - everything is interconnected, all tied back to Strahd. It's also the module's greatest weakness, because of how poorly laid out the bits and pieces of the adventure are. ToA doesn't have that problem. Everything is almost beautifully laid out and compartmentalised, with enough references where it's needed to flesh stuff out. ToA was peak 5e, in my humble opinion. Everything after that was subpar, in some cases outright atrocious. *cough*Dragon Heist*cough*

@@olivercharles5581 I mean, where to start? It's not a heist, it's Waterdeep: Benny Hill. Waterdeep: Scooby Doo chase. It has an extremely weak and unconnected start that pigeonholes players into the position of innkeeper. It asks the characters to metagame and investigate an extremely mundane "mystery" in spite of having zero reason to, then actively puts obstacles to impede their investigation (sometimes completely shutting down an angle of progression they may take). It wastes a tonne of space on multiple paths for the sake of replayability, when each path boils down to a linear (and rather mediocre) list of encounters - that culminate in a what's most likely going to be a nearly impossible to win battle. And that's not even mentioning all the villain lairs that as written, the characters will never visit. But don't fret though: this is only a problem if you play the game as-written. You're gonna have to go against the book in some instances, such as being much more lenient and perhaps a little pushy in the Fireball chapter - maybe you can play the city officials off as lazy instead of iron-fisted, leading to them hiring the party instead of hindering them. You're also gonna have to ask the players to work into their characters a desire to cooperate in the whole "running an inn" things, as its somewhat integral to the narrative. There's a decent amount of good advice on r/WaterdeepDragonHeist pertaining to shaping it up into a better adventure. Don't get me wrong, it has fantastic potential: it certainly has the most unique premise in comparison to other modules. It's just really poorly executed. Oh, and the maps are shit. Like, I get some people like to copy them and stuff, but there's no denying how much a sense of place Mike Schley's cartography lends to adventures like ToA.

It's so interesting to read up on equally as a DM or a player. A DM can look up one of these names and create a quest with most likely enough material to make an interesting story, A player that knows that their quest takes place there can acquire information to create a very interesting PC with a purpose in these lands or a connection.

@@Trapsarentgay133 Karsus' folly was a different event altogether and had nothing to do with the Spell Plague.It took place a -long time- before the Spell plague. Karsus used his magic to assume the mantel of Mystara, the original goddess of magic. Mystara then killed herself to get her power back from Karsus and became Mystra (the current goddess of magic from 2nd or 3rd edition onward I believe). Mystra then imposed limits on magic so spells of higher then 9th level could no longer be cast. MrRhexx has a video on Karsus' Folly. The Spell Plague is a 4th edition thing and quite recent in Forgotten Realms Cannon History. (the past 150 years or so). The Spell Plague was caused by the god Cyric tricking Tyr into killing Mystra. This caused Magic to go haywire for a while (and Shar stole half of the weave of the magic as well i believe. The part for Shadow Magic). The Spell Plague for Cannon history only ended 10 years prior to the Start point of 5th Edition and was ended with the reforming of the new Tablets of Fate by Ao.

Uhh... I don't know where you're getting this about Acererak being a simulacrum of the original. Yes, there was an adventure that featured a simulacrum of Acererak (The Prisoner of Castle Perilous, 2007), but the original Acererak never died. His phylactery was destroyed, but because of wizard fuckery, he endured in the Negative Energy Plane and it is generally assumed that the outcome of that adventure (Return to the Tomb of Horrors, 1998) was that his essence was dispersed, but would eventually return. I mean, it's not like he's about to go blabbing about it to the characters and make a big deal out of it, but it's still not really an accurate piece of lore. Otherwise, very good info. I am so glad that someone else brought up Ras Nsi's history. He's not treated very well at all by the adventure. I had to totally revise him. Same thing with Artus Cimber. I had to tie his story more closely to the adventure. I wish I had known about the Heart of the Wild storyline before I ran the adventure! Thanks for the video!

I bought and played the PC game return to tomb of horrors. And it was so bugged and would keep crashing that after making it through once I never went back.

I am reasonably certain a WISH spell could escape a demiplane of dread. It specifically calls out under Wish's suggested effects that it can lift creatures from anywhere in the multiverse to anywhere in the multiverse. It's also worth noting this is not a teleport. It is specifically called out as a 'lift', which is not a teleport. That would defeat dimensional anchor or the like as well. As wish is a rewriting of reality, you could think of it as akin to save editing your location in a video game. No matter what barrier is in your way, you are on the other side of it, unless the powers that be have the power to stop you.

Depends how the DM views it to be honest I'd argue. If it really is like Barovia, then NOTHING can get you out, period, save killing the dreadlord, pact with the dark powers, that sort of thing. Supposed to be a unique feature of domains in Ravenloft; although I am working with old ideas here as I haven't looked at much 5th edition stuff dealing with Ravenloft. For example, Mordekainen himself is stuck in Barovia and can't get out, and he surely could just cast wish to leave (if he wasn't an insane deer in the module, but that's another story). Also apologies for the necro.

@@NorthernWind0 Well on page 24 of the module it states "no spell -- not even wish -- allows one to escape from Strahd's domain." So if the area in Tomb of Annihlation functions by the same rules, which I'd think it would if they refer to it as a domain in the demiplane of dread cause that's what Barovia is, then that should also apply I'd think. Of course obviously any DM could change how it works and what not; I've never run TOA but I'd be tempted to alter/change the rules since that is just one small area in the much bigger module/storyline, whereas in Curse of Strahd not being able to leave is kind of the point.

@@erdrickcapet3945 Personally, I feel like this powercreeping of the world around Wish is a little ridiculous. If players are 18th level, can cast Gate or Wish, have overpowered the ending of the entire sourcebook and no longer have any reason to be there, they should not have to worry about being stuck. What can I say, I'm an old school DM. I don't like setting hard and fast rules against my players' ability to interact with the world.
