Chronurgy is the DnD equivalent of Save Scumming

I know Megamind is more of an Artificer, but he'll always be my favorite Wizard.

Sorcerer: I BLOW HIM UP DM: *looks into the camera like he's on The Office*

Monk casts Fists of Fury!

Shadow Monk got some Spells. Their Minor Illusion demands fleece.

It's embarrassing how long I played D&D before I realized what somatic components even meant.

My first ranger is tribal nomad and inspired by mogolian archer 😂

Indestructible Life = Velcro limbs

Not going to lie. I thought the Hexblade was goofy as all get out. Your patron is a sword? That's weird. But I came around.

I know this is a sorcerer video, but now a wanna to make a warlock who's patron is a celestial form of Austin Powers

And now some of those spells, I'm looking at you Force Cage, cost that much gold EVERY time you cast it.

The bill comes due ... always

Did you say Samurai was runner up for the worst? I haven’t tried one yet, but I always thought they were in the upper tier. Easy advantage on attacks, wisdom save proficiency, *functional immunity to death* at level 18… Maybe not super exciting, but definitely powerful. I would definitely put Champion as runner up for the worst. All of their features could be integrated as basic fighter features, and nobody would bat an eye.

The Storm Sorcerer needs a dedicated spell list, but which spells would make the cut?

Hi, old friend! 😊 KZbin brought you to my wife’s Shorts feed due to shared interests (DnD … not cricket snacks 😂) I’d enjoy reconnecting sometime!

The chickpeas were definitely better, but less interesting

It was such a pain in the butt trying to find the right crickets to buy. Took forever. They did kind of taste and smell like bacon.

Honestly, I like the Scout because it gets very close to mechanically being an authentic shinobi. For more on that, I recommend checking out Gaijin Goomba's Which Ninja? series

Inquisitive is giving me Darkwing Duck vibes

No joke, an Arcane Trickster with the Ritual Caster feat is a devious little bugger and will make DMs cry with the shenanigans they can pull off.

Infiltration game: Hexblade Warlock using Pact of the Blade to hide his incredibly powerful hex weapon, only to summon it with one Action after free-casting (at will, no slot/materials used) Mage Armor. Multiclass that with 3 levels of Rogue to get Swashbuckler for Sneak Attack damage without needing Advantage and being able to completely negate Attacks of Opportunity and...yeah. No monk needed. Which is a shame because I love the general concept of Monk. Fortunately, OneD&D (or whatever it's called) has some fixes for Monk but Monk will never be a front-line fighter so no Bruce Lee.

Bro... The byproduct of soap making is a main ingredient to napalm and high explosives... I really thought this was going to a Fight Club place. Expectations subverted

I think there's atheory concerning that, like if you cut off certain things we've adapted to, a considerable portion of the population would have trouble adapting back. Not necessarily disease spreading, because washing off in water, even without soap is a passable stop-gap, but a non-zero portion would pass away due to their adapted immune system being compromised.

I am chaotic evil and a dragonborn sorcerer multiclassing into a forge cleric so i can make plate mail give it to children and make a fight club out of orphans and recruit the last one standing

Isn't that lawful evil tho?

Better idea, make a cube of bone. Then they will be forced the sit there in tremendous pain as they watch all of their bones slowly pierce their skin and form a cube. This works even better if you have multiple people!

Hard to die as an echo knight. Echo is 30 feet behind you. Move 30 feet forward and attack. Move your echo 30 feet further back. Swap places. You are now 90 feet away.

While completely deranged, it isn't chaotic evil, it's very specifically lawful evil. I still love it tho

Ya wouldn't someone else just start making soap, especially if you were to just stop selling or making it? Not like it would be impossible to start making just cause the only one in town stopped

A cunning plan if there ever was one.

The first rule of DnD fight club is you don't talk about DnD fight club

My first character was a Rogue/Shadow Monk and I never really struggled in combat. Between Cunning action, Unarmoured movement and the Mobile feat, I could always get out of danger if need arose.

If way of the four elements didn't exist, then Sun Soul was probably the worst.

The Swarm Keeper didn't make the list but I still want to make a Thri-Kreen Swarm Keeper Ranger/Circle of Spore Druid. Just get all the gross in one character.

Gloom stalker has strong John Wick vibes

Very interesting to see people have such different perspectives on the Paladin depending on what type of player they are. Imo, Paladin is the class with the least amount of variance in power between Subclasses, simply because of how limited CD are in 2014 Pally and the fact that every Paladin will still have the Top Tier features of Divine Smite & Aura of Protection. Two of the most powerful features in the game that aren't for spells. Picking out the best Paladin is definitely the harder of the two choices, as there's around 4 that can all be reasonably argued for. Conquest is certainly a reasonable choice, Vengeance seems like the one casuals are drawn to for the ADV channel Divinity. Others find Ancients Aura to be near invaluable. Even Crown can be tossed in from time to time for having access to Spirit Guardians. I am definitely gonna have to disagree with you on the worst though my friend. I understand you're reasoning on saying that most of Watchers features are 'niche', but the feature that matters is still just too good to pass up. In the encounters where you want it, an intellect Fortress buff to you and allies will be incredibly valuable & Abjure the Extraplanar still covers a lot of creature types. Really though, it's the Aura & Counterspell that makes it impossible for me to put it in last. A bonus of +3-4 in tier 2 to pretty much the entire parties initiative is an insane buff that easily eclipses any other Pally's Aura bonus. Simply put going first matters, as does action economy, and having the ability to shut down a debilitating spell in mid level combats is often a combat-winner. Personally I'd place it between Glory, Devotion, and Crown for last. If you know your game isn't gonna get to level 9 for a long time Crown is definitely the worst. Bad CD's, bad 7th level, problematic tenets if your DM's enforces them. Glory has a decent Aura, but it's very clunky to give out to Allies, and their CD's are both just okay. Devotion is only really good if you know you're running into a lot of powerful charm effects and your DM is very liberal with readied actions for combat. Even then, Devotion is still not as good as +3 to initiative for the entire party at level 7.

He doesn’t care about benefits or logic. His goal is suffering.

HEY VEGGIE STRAWS ARE FIRE

I'm totally with you on possibly playing a Kensei monk for the following reasons: extra weapon proficiencies, extra +2 to AC at level 3, bonus action ranged damage, Kensei weapon attacks become magical like unarmed strikes, infused weapons up to +3(most ki points spent at any time), one free reroll on any missed attack rolls!! Thoughts?!?!

Veggie sticks and oatmeal cookies are fire bro. And throw some popcorn seasoning on those crickets and they aren't incredible.

Free food is free food!

Nah, Veggie straws are good, don't diss them like that

Neutral Evil might be evil above all else, but at least he thought to bring something for game night. What's your excuse?

I'd like to counterpoint your opinion of the Oath of Vengeance paladin!! At least, the Oath of Vengeance paladin follows its oath to the letter, unlike the Oathbreaker, and it follows its tenets of Fight the Greater Evil, No Mercy for the Wicked, By Any Means Necessary, and Retribution!! Besides, who wouldn't want advantage on ALL attack rolls on a creature for one minute? Also, the oath spell list(Bane, Hunter's Mark, Hold Person, Misty Step, Haste, Banishment, Dimension Door, etc.) is, if not one of, the best spell list for ANY character!! Seriously, what's the real beef with this subclass?!?!

Paladin of the Oath of Ni!

I'm not ashamed to admit, I hate the idea of an evil, dark vengeful Paladin. That's just a fallen paladin or what we used to call a Blackguard. But i have to admit, the Oath of Conquest has peaked my interest.

Agree about Fireball and Haste. Also agree that, rules as written, Animate Objects (and any other multiple summoning/conjuring spell) is so tedious to deal with mechanically that even the caster begins to feel existential regret about their life choices. Our fix in 3 easy steps: 1) unspoken agreement that unless there is a compelling reason all summoned objects/creatures attack the same target. The corollary is that if multiple targets then the same type of target (eg. archers on a castle wall). 2. One die is used to determine the number of hits, including modifiers as adjudicated by the GM. Examples. Animate 10 sling stones and attack an adult black dragon (ac 19). Mathematically a little over half will hit. Roll d10 for number of hits (average 5.5) Animate 10 sling stones and attack a gnoll (ac15). Mathematically just over two thirds will hit. Roll d8+2 (average 6.5) for number of hits. Close enough is good enough for the averages and this method is totally worth it for the increased speed of gameplay. 3) all successful attacks deal the same damage regardless of the number of hits or targets. 1 roll. To really speed up gameplay this roll is made at the same time as the to hit roll above. Using the gnoll above as an example the player’s turn looks like this: Player: “I’m casting Animate Objects on 10 silver coins and attacking the gnoll. +8 to attack.” GM: Calculates 15 (ac) - 8 = 7. “Roll d8+2 to hit” (this calculation is easier than at first glance and becomes easier with practice) Player: rolls d8 and d4. d8 rolls 3 and d4 rolls 2. “5 hits, 6 damage each, total of 30 points damage”. Turn done in less than 30 seconds. The same system works similarly for 8 sprites or 8 cows or whatever.

Monk: not the strongest of classes. Vesuvius: not the best for Pompeii tourism

Just a quick question about bard subclasses. If given your druthers, which subclass would you rather play, College Of Lore or College Of Valor(martially focused)?

That’s why I abuse my players both in and out of game
