Critical Role Critical Role and Material Components

[Flexor the Mighty!]

I wish I had a player that was into his spell caster to keep track of that and incorporate it into play but in general I only sweat the stuff that is crazy rare of costly.

So 1e (and maybe OD&D or Holmes Basic--I have no info on them) is the only edition that expects you to track spell components as the default rule.

Close enough!

Even 1st ed AD&D never had costs for them in the books - it was actually a separate Dragon Magazine article turned in by a fan which came up with costs for components. My 12-year old self LOVED that article. My 40-year-old self finds that concept as fun as April 15th now.
