· 3 pulledBrennan Lee Mulligan made one thing very clear to his players and viewers when he took over as Dungeon Master for Critical Role's Campaign 4: he would not be pulling any punches.
There have been homebrewed rules, new death mechanics, and the assurance that the world of Aramán is not level-scaled — meaning players will encounter enemies with a much higher Challenge Rating than they're supposed to take on.
The lethality of Aramán was thoroughly demonstrated in the latest episode of Critical Role Campaign 4, where decisions led to devastating consequences.
