This is really creative stuff, love it and looking forward to watching the adventures 🥳

Found you through Dramguard, but this is up my alley as well. I use Pathfinder 2e, but I love world building. I am hoping we get a lot of content here. Also found your World Anvil.

TV!!!!! So glad i found this!! 🥰

At 7:34, you said "9 fails and your character dies..." - I believe you meant 3 fails.

Great video!

2:40 if you are really sincere, does it hurt to mention the free rules at dndbeyond?

I love how you used Baldur's Gate 3 footage.

Lets goooooo. Every place on this continent seems ripe with adventure, lore and possibility. Phenomenal Job TV. Can't wait to see it through your players' eyes

Love this DnD stuff.

Gg TV

Awesome! Can’t wait for this!

So looking forward to these videos

FUEGO

This is going to be awesome

YES Les Go!

Top video

🥳🫂👍🏿 Always good to have a reminder of the rules - any common house rules for stealth new players should be familiar with just in case?

Thank you for the video! Lore is always good for my creative juices :)

The rule as written strongly implies it's written incorrectly. Why? Because both "heavily obscured" and "able to be seen" are (the way you described it) assessed from the point of view of your opponents. So why would they say both? Clearly, "able to be seen" trumps "heavily obscured," making the latter completely irrelevant. The fact that they DO say both strongly implies that there *is* meant to be a difference between the two -- but neither you nor anyone else has been able to tell me what it is. So, either the "heavily obscured" section needs to be dropped, or we're misinterpreting it (understandably), or they intended the rule to be different but forgot to include the required detail. I'm so sick of having to use up my bonus action on Steady Aim just to get sneak attack: I never get to use my bonus action for anything else, and I never get to move. It's totally messed up! (Note: I'm particularly referring to Adventurers League play, where we're required to play precisely as the rules are written, even when they're written badly or incorrectly -- but it applies in Campaigns, too.)

Wow such a huge amount of thought and work you put in here. Awesome!

I am excited to see more of this. I definitely plan to make use of the aspects of the setting for my campaigns. Thank you for making something awesome and new!

Wow, you have a fancy map already!?

Dude I am hyped! Looking forward to seeing how it goes?

First!

Think I’d go for a rogue, because who doesn’t want to jump around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree?

Ryan I’ve been following you for awhile. I’m loving this content about DnD!

Remember, Nat 20 is *NOT* necessarily an automatic success just as 1 isn't an automatic fail when doing Skill Checks.

5:10 TBH lockpicking with a buddy is probably more difficult than doing it alone lol

More channels like this and less like ginny d and the d&d world will be a better place.

So if I wtanf behind a 10' tall, 5ft wide wall I am behind full cover but if I lie down behibd a 10' lobg by 5' high wall I am not. These rukes are retarfed.

UPDATE: Per the 2024 rules that were recently changed, Surprise is now applied by simply giving enemies affected a Disadvantage on their Initiative rolls. It's a lot simpler than the previous mechanic of losing a turn, but also a lot less beneficial to those doing the surprising. I apologize, been watching and playing a lot with the previous rules so I didn't even think about the change when I made this video. The Hide info is 100% up to date though.

pretty good but there some important distinction you failed to say and a few rule errors: hidden VS unseen VS cover: yes hiding require your action (or bonus action with cunning action rogue) but if you run in the darkness spell, you are now unseen (not hidden everyone know exactly where you are in the darkness, they all heard you) but you are unseen. and as of page 26 in the 2024 PhB, being unseen does give you advantage on your attack and does impose disadvantage to target trying to hit you. Then if my character drop prone FOR FREE (page 25 of the PhB: on your turn you can give yourself the Prone condition without using an action or any of your speed) being boxes, you are 100% right they are not hidden, everyone saw them drop prone behind the box. But they still benefit from cover (now it's up tot he DM to determine if the box cover 1/2, 3/4 or the entire body) and if the box does cover the entire body enemies cannot shoot them. IF the box cover just half the body they are still prone so the range attack is made with disadvantage and the cover bonus still give them +2AC. But the monster could indeed just walk behind the box and attack them with a melee weapon gaining advantage on their attack and no cover bonus to your AC. Now where it because a bit harder is with illusions like minor illusion. the sorcerer cast the minor illusion of a 5ftx5ft wall and the 3ft tall halfling rogue run behind the wall (he do not hide) the wall block all line of sight so it does effectively give heavy concealment to the rogue, giving the rogue advantage on his attack if he shoot through the wall. If the rogue peak on the side of the wall for his attack, the wall no longer offer heavy concealment (since the arm of the rogue holding his bow are fully visible so now the rogue would require the hide bonus action (cunning action) to hide then shoot. Bu the difficult part is TECHNICALLY the monster do not know it's an illusion (unless they succeed on a study action investigation against my spell DC or physically interact with the wall) so they believe that the wall is not providing concealment but actually cover, so the monster wouldn.t attack, since they BELIEVE it's a solid wall, but in reality it's an illusion and it offer no cover, just concealment. And if the creature ever discover that it's an illusion it then become translucide, and therefor offer no concealment neither You also got Surprise wrong: surprise in 2024, no longer give you a free turn. it JUST give the enemies disadvantage on there initiative roll. Now if my rogue is stealthy and unseen, and shoo the guard. it's still unclear When we roll initiative in this context. Do we finish the attack, and then combat then we roll for initiative the enemies with disadvantage (the rogue is no longer hidden since he attacked so he do not have advantage) Or do we roll initiative BEFORE the attack the rogue being hidden (so invisible) have advantage and the enemies still have disadvantage. Is still unclear, since if somehow the enemies still roll higher then the rogue, the attack didn't happened and the rogue is still hidden, so what would the enemies do during their turn? keep playing cards?

I hope you take this as the constructive criticism it is intended: you really need to make sure you understand the rules properly before trying to teach others. You correctly explain stealth, using the 2024 rules. And then explain surprise using the 2014 rules. Thereby simply confusing anyone using any rules

I’m curious about where the DC 15 came from. I figure to use the enemies’ passive perception as the starting point to see if one is hidden. Good to get different ideas on this and more clarification in general.

My rogue elf hides behind a tree- and that’s a critical fail.

I'm not sure that 'critical failure on a group check counts as 2' is an official rule...? it's not mentioned in the Group Checks section, unless I'm being blind lol. For that matter, TV, when you're quoting/explaining specific rules, it would help new players if you printed on screen the specific PHB/DMG page number you're referencing, so they can look it up again later.

I used to watch you back in the D1 and D2 days when I was obsessed with those games. Now I'm obsessed with DND and here you are again. This is awesome!

One of my players just let me know that he’s going to be a rogue. This couldn’t have come at a better time. Been watching your Destiny vids for a while and am enjoying this avenue. Thanks TV

I have absolutely slipped down that slippery dice slope :(

Great info and entry level overview

Thanks, TV. Love all the good info.

DnD CHANNEL LETS GOOOOOOOOO

Is it all the players involved that determine what happens in a campaign like goals and objectives and how to successfully “resolve” the whole campaign or is it the dm that establishes this all beforehand on his or her own?

im binging on your videos. Very well done. You are the "next" big creator in the DND sphere. Keep the good stuff coming.

is it possible to join in on campaigns?

12:35 shouldn't the modifier go to +3 and not +4? or am I missing something

I wouldn't call it traditional levelling as XP for combat being the focus is relatively modern. Traditional is XP for treasure.

I know there are some differences but I just started playing BG3 when these videos came out and they’re super helpful

I'm surprised the still call it an ASI even though an ASI is now a feat. You'd have figured they would have changed it to "General Feat".

Love the dnd content. Thanks TV!
