The Legend of Vox Machina allows for character and lore expansions that enhance emotional stakes, as exemplified by Percy’s impactful death in the latest episodes.
In the campaign, we were able to bring him back very quickly, but I think that can be something that loses its gravity if you're constantly able to revive somebody who has died over and over again," explains Laura Bailey, the voice of half-elf ranger Vex'ahlia. "So in order to make us sit with it and experience that grief, I think it needed to be extended.
And give it consequence," adds Jaffe. "There are definitely consequences left over. Death in a show should feel substantial, not trivialized by easy revivals, as it increases tension and stakes.
We wanted death to feel consequential, as having resurrection options available in Dungeons & Dragons can diminish the seriousness and emotional weight of loss.
