Critical Role Battle Royale Draft: The Ultimate Cast Showdown

What happens when your favorite heroes are forced to trade blows? The cast of Critical Role just sat down for a high-stakes draft that pits their iconic characters against each other in a hypothetical no-holds-barred fight to the finish.

Rules of the Critical Role Battle Royale Draft

In the latest episode of Mashable's 'Say More' series, all 8 original cast members, including Matthew Mercer and Laura Bailey, faced a daunting task. They had to draft a squad using characters from the first 3 D&D campaigns. The catch? Once a character is picked, they're off the board. Players were encouraged to avoid their own characters, leading to a chaotic shuffle where allies like Keyleth and Vax found themselves on opposite sides of the battlefield.

The draft sparked intense debate over the 'Number 1' overall pick. While powerhouses were snatched up early, the room erupted in laughter over the fate of Travis Willingham's Bertrand Bell, who was widely predicted to be the dead last pick. This playful competition offers fans a rare look at how the actors perceive the power scaling and legendary status of their own creations.
