U know that all kinda sounds like a perfect arcane trickster instead of a thief if u ask me

Friend of mines barbarian wanted to write a book but never had the time to learn read or write my trickery cleric with magic initiate used suggestion right before the big bad evil guy fight the barbarian wound up spending the fight learning to read and write so he can make his book

I don’t understand how a class is bad if it can’t keep up with 6-8 encounters in a row. But Full Casters, the classes that rely on Spell Slots, are good. What?

Need to see an updated version of this.

Are monks still not the best for getting passed legendary resistances? Replace each unarmed strike with a grapple or shove which is now a save.

"Stop Breathing. You'll know when you're done."

People are hating on the rogue, yet now im more excited to play one than ever. Maybe im the weird one

It's about time thief was as good as a 3ed rogue

Great tips. I'm planning on multiclassing my eloquence bard to warlock. But dear god, the background music is annoying.

I'd like to point out that the wands can be upcast. Level 7 Magic Missile as a bonus action with a 1-in-6 chance to not spend any of the 7 charges you blew from the wand is AMAZING. Have a dozen of those and you'll never run out of missiles to throw.

Ah the Adorabold

I like letting the players describe how they mop up the remaining enemies who are either trying to surrender or flee.

My Illusionist Wizard is going to have so much fun with this. I had no idea Nystul's Magic Aura could do that...I'm absolutely going to Planar Binding something using that loophole.

Lurking for the next Worlds Without Number case study.

You're either disguised as an exceptionally tall human, or in an unusually small dwelling, if you can just reach up and casually touch the ceiling...

This works even without resistances. Sometimes it's just cool having something like that

Such a copout. "Don't make fun stories because your players will be massive cry babies rather than running from the fight and returning later tooled up.

6:10 so spells are vibes? Lol

Spirit guardians buffed?

If I ever do run a magic shop It will be like a normal store in New York, with everything behind magical lock and key to prevent sticky hands as much as possible

go to a magic item shop as a divination wizard. suggest he gives you all his magic items, give him a bad roll. boom you are rich and broken

Here is my idea about using scrolls for money. Magic shops don't have to exist if there is a guild for adventurers. Or just for mercenary work of any sort and class. Because scrolls are so useful it would make any who can use them drool. So naturally such guilds may have in house shops to restock certain niche items. So you could be dropping scrolls while looking for a quick job before the next big haul.

I made a Plasmoid Warlock Storm Sorcerer with the levitating invocation. It's a floating ball of lightning jelly.

lancer !!

Could you please do Assassin Rogue review, pretty please! 🥺

BLOTE not BLAWT

Thief rogue is also REALLY good when combined with the Healer feat & Healing kits, also pairs well with the MotM Hobgoblin rework. You can output a very useable amount of NON MAGICAL healing, which depending on setting can change the game exponentially. I REALLY like how well you can combine this with stuff like the crafter starting feat to output a TON of item effects or Buffing effects.

Boosting Suggestion is actually a good thing because now there is a way for mind control to be a thing that exists in the game. The setting is supposed to have mages and demons and other creatures who can control people, but actually there are almost no ways to do so. It makes much more sense if the spell is worth learning, like you can convince someone in a fight that their ally is trying to attack them or that surrendering will keep them alive. "Reasonable" is way too limiting when any person you try to suggest anything to can just say "I don't think it is reasonable" and become immune. A minor example I once read was a miserly person refusing to give money to a mage who used the spell to convince people he was an old friend asking for a small loan, because he would not lend money to anyone. However, almost anything could be considered harmful or unreasonable, like dropping your weapon in a fight or leaving the door unguarded when the guards would get punished for it.

And don't forget that as a thief you could just steal all the recources you need

I might just have to play this new edition after all!

I've been exited about the thief rogue since the first time I saw it in the playtest. Back then it was seen through the lens of you cannot cast any spells other than a cantrip if you cast a bonus action spell. Seeing as that rule has changed, it has gone from great to incredible!

Yeah, we kind of figured this out a couple of world wars ago.

"Thief Rogues are the best martial in the entire game." "Why?" "Spells."

My friend has a traveling magic shop in his campaigns that hus old lvl 20 artificer runs. He even gives us a membership card that glows when were near his shop.

Magic Initiate is an Origin Feat. Level one human take M.I Warlock, and M.I. Bard Be a Warlock, take Pact of the Tome as your level 1 Invocation. You now have 9 cantrips, and two level one spells you can cast once per long rest without using a spell slot. If you grab "Sorcerous Burst" with Pact of the Tome, it counts as a Warlock spell, and you can attach other Invocations to it, like agonizing blast, and Repelling Blast.

If making the thumbnail look like Sly Cooper is intended that's an amazing ref!

were there any changes to artificer?

There's no errata needed. The rules on duration in ch7 i believe cover it. If the duration is concentration and concentration ends the effect of the spell ends. The temp hp are as much an effect of the spell as the form is

So economically speaking, value is technically subjective. It depends entirely on what the seller wants for it and how much the buyer is willing to spend. For example, i bought my house for 216k. It's a small home with an add on on an acre in the woods. Pretty cheap house, nothing crazy. However, it's the first house my wife and i have owned and we're raising our kids in it. I love livng in the woods with some land. It could be appraised at the 216k i paid, but i wouldn't want to sell it for any less than 400k because of the value it has to me personally. I also don't intend to sell it, i want to pass it on to my kids in a few decades. This easily applies to homebrew values in dnd. If scolls are as abundant as the air itself and you can make them easily and get them anywhere, then as a seller, you have to lower prices for the competiton. But if you have one scroll and magic is very rare, you could ask any price you want

I mean, if your strategy is to rules lawyer against the obvious spirit of the rules to the GM, that's not much of a strategy. Other than the helpful rules update, this is a pretty skippable video.

Putting rules interactions and combos in your ad space to make people watch it to see all the content is a dick move dude. Youre not a greedy corporation willing to trade viewer happiness for more profit. Dont do that shit to your fanbase

If juggling crossbows was “rules as intended” then why add any restriction to ammo/reload at all, why would crossbow expert exist? “Tame” or not it’s still not how the designers intended it to be interacted with. I’ve actively defended your content in many threads that are about disliking you and your content because you make content that often isn’t meant to work at most tables, but does because of odd or unintentional wording; I’ve always argued that for most tables it’s purely hypothetical and clearly an exercise in finding loopholes not breaking the game - evidently that’s not the always the case anymore though. Moment of silence for all the DMs who have to fight with problem players who just got more ammunition because the internet guy said “no that’s super totally how the designers meant for this to work”. Hopefully your tone will shift when Jeremy Crawford clarifies what 90% of people already knew to be the intention

The oddest thing is the best litmus for any sort of magic item is spell components. Clerics seem to have the most varied and most annotated costs, so if D&D had a base economy it would be Cleric spell components. You could say equipment tables, but the cost of most equipment, even full plate is durable (more than a one time use) and still relatively inexpensive compared to spell components.

They were amazing in 2014 for all the same reasons. I played this exact same way all the way to 20th level and even got my hands on a Staff of Power and Holy Avenger (dagger). During one of the final fights I was also able to load a ballista as a bonus action with fast hands too and fire it at the boss repeatedly, it was incredible.

One thing to mention is that booming blade or green flame blade scrolls are super important because they let you get two sneak attacks around by bonus action to use the scroll and using you main action to ready an attack after your turn ends. Previously it was pretty difficult to do this consistently without help from other party members. 26 avg damage a round at level 3 assuming both attacks hit and your dex mod is 3. The cantrips also scale for more damage as you mentioned..
