Might as well homebrew one at this point

Quit sad, sirens are so cool in myths and can be quite scary but nah…..the wrong nerds made this and dropped the balls smh

ATW was here.

A commment for the numbers brother

Honestly i completely forgot about this guy

There are only a couple of races from the underdark that make the best Gloom Stalker rangers. The Deep Gnome with the Svirfneblin Magic feat makes an excellent Gloom Stalker.

Thinking of a hexblood bladesinger with dreams connections. He was tricked while astral projecting in his dreams by a hag and now he tries to undo the curse. I have flavored the espionage stuff of his tooth feature with dreamwalking like an out of body experience

Dampire Harrington

hmmm... tastes like rabbit.

Grung rogue scout is a complete menace in combat. with crossbow expert and sharp shooter wielding only a magic hand crossbow. Boots of haste gives three attacks per round, two sneak attacks per round, the ability to add poison at will and using a reaction to move out of melee without provoking an opportunity attack. Now add being able to jump 15 feet straight up and attack while hanging upside down from the ceiling is just disgusting lol

Dude, you're confusing naga in D&D, for naga in World of Warcraft!

Any recommendations in regard to race for this class?

Working on a Goliath Paladin

…there’s something wrong with you. I don’t know what it is, but the things you say and how you say them disturb me and I hope you heal.

keep doing what youre doing but i recommend making a more concise script for lore videos

The Shadow Kingdom by Robert E. Howard from 1929 is a great Yuan-Ti story.

Dude, are you Forever Cold in that T-shirt? 😉

Is it ok to judge someone for their favo race in DnD? Just askin.

Are you going to introduce us to some of your Yuan-Ti characters?

I love the yuan ti!

Great video, great points, and first off - thanks for making it. I have been playing a redemption paladin for 18 months now from level 3 and finally hit 20 and I have some notes. Rebuke the Violent: It's bad. Note that it only works on attacks against other creatures, takes your reaction, gives them a save, and can only be used ONCE per short rest. This means you're holding it in the off-chance an ally is crit, and that crit is big enough damage to matter. In an entire 18 months, hundreds of encounters, it was never useful once. Bearing in mind if I use my reaction, I'm no longer threatening my space. Also most creatures (when it comes to attacks) are using multi-attack to deal smaller chunks of damage more often. The real damage in D&D comes from single save vs effects, which this ability doesn't affect. Aura of the Guardian: It actively fights for your reaction once again. It has a very short range, meaning your allies have to hug the paladin. But it actively can't be reduced in any way. Good for saving the odd ally from hitting 0hp, if they're close enough, but definitely not the most effective ability. The self heal is fine, but it's not a huge amount of healing. 16hp of healing at level 20 is not keeping pace with anything, and if you heal over half from anything else, it no longer works - so it keeps in you the sub-half hp danger zone if you want to see its benefit And the capstone? Actively creates paradoxical combat situations. If you aren't attacking enemies, why would they attack you? If you do attack enemies it no longer works. If the enemies attack your allies, your now 30ft aura of the guardian allows you to take that damage - but not reduced in any way, and doesn't deal damage back. For example, a creature attacks the paladin for 32 damage. Paladin takes 16. Creature takes 8. OR - creature ignores the paladin. Does the paladin take their opportunity attack, disabling their emissary of peace, guardian aura, and rebuke (opp attack took the reaction). Or does the enemy attack the Paladin's ally, dealing 32 damage to them, which the paladin then takes in full. Or they let their ally take the damage and give the enemy a WIS save for 32 or 16 damage?

Ah the Yuan-ti, one of the First Races that I became fascinated by when I was First introduced to Dungeons and Dragons. I believe it was a Image of a Half-Blood or Abomination that initially sparked my Interest with them. Such a Shame that we can only play as a Pureblood as a Player Character option For The Algorithm!

This is such good lore

They did, the tieflings are three types as of 2025!!

Fun fact take 1 level in monk and you get unarmored defense which is 10 plus your wis/dex modifiers. So you don't need a sheild or armor

3 levels in warlock giving you acess to knock people back with eldritch blast and lower their ms by 10 along with web and storm sphere/other terrain effects can make it really hard to catch you

Great advice about letting players see the results of their actions reflected in the setting(s)!

I don't think a sandbox needs a lot of prep, especially if you use a pre-existing setting like Faerun or Star Wars. I run sandbox exclusively and do little to no prep, I just make shit up on the fly. The game then becomes what's known as Emergent Play where the "story" is what happens at the table, not what the GM created beforehand. If you can make shit up and write it down, you can make shit up on the fly. There are also (apparently, I don't own any) books to help sandbox GMs that are filled with random tables for just about everything you can imagine. If you truly treasure player agency like I do, do some research into Emergent Play, it's a fantastic way to run games.

To quote Bruce Lee, 'Not anger, emotional intensity.' That is how I justify rage doing intelligent things like the World Tree Barbarian.

Might lean on a Lawful Neutral Goliath Paladin taking the oath and while aggressive, he rarely shows it, and will spare enemies from dying from his blade when given the chance, but likely will pass a defeated foe to an ally who that specific enemy has wronged in the past

I thought it was amusing that you talked about a character carving out their eye & replacing it with the Eye of Vecna & you had to nearly immediately rub your eye, like the thought of it made you have a reaction.

Ok so I've been playing with a new homebreed wizard subclass i thought up in my head called the spellshot so here we go The spellshot You are a wizard who has learned to combine wizardry with firearms and have dedicated your resources to improving your arcane firearms Arcane firearms (2nd level for 2014 or 3rd level for 2024) You gain proficiency in firearms and you can use them as your arcane spell casting focus Spellshot tricks (2nd level for 2014 or 3rd level for 2024) You have a number of spellshot points equal to twice your proficiency bonus and you have access to the following spell shot options you can use your points for and you can use your intelligence mod for attack and damage rolls instead of dex you can only use one option at a time unless specified otherwise Quick draw shot (1 point cost): when you cast a spell that uses an action you can fire your firearm at a target of your choice as a part of the same action Empowered shot (1 point cost): when you fire a firearm you can add a cantrips effect to the attack you can use this even if you already used an option before Magical gun skill improvement 6th level You can now attack twice with your firearm when you take the attack account and you gain more spellshot options Reactive shot (1 point cost): when you cast a spell using a reaction you can shoot your firearm as a part of that reaction Improved empowered shot (2 points cost and you must use this instead of the normal empowered shot): when you hit creature an attack from a firearm you can spend a spell slot to add 1d8 per spell slots level to the damage of the firearm if I'm the attack but you can only use this option once per turn Expert spell shot options 10th level Rapid fire shot (3 point cost): you can make a number of additional attacks with your firearm equal to your intelligence mod when you take the attack action and these stack with your normal attacks you can make with your firearms Blasting shot (3 point cost) when you make an attack using your firearm as an action you can force creatures in a 60ft cone radius to make a dex save taking half damage of the firearm on a failed save instead of making attack rolls as your action Mastered spell shot 14th level You have mastery of your arcane firearms now and have mastered the ultimate spell shot option Homing arcane shot (4 point cost) once per long rest when you use one of your other spell shot options you can use this to guarantee all your attacks land this turn and you can add your wizard level as additional force damage to each attack This is my attempt at a gun mage so tell me what you think about it sin and don't be afraid to tell me what needs to be improved

My favourite is by far Bane.

Now that TWF is stronger in 2024 PHB. They're the only one that does not need cheese to TWF and use a shield.

Insect plague doesn't seem to fit with the flavour of the domain. I'm at a loss for why it was included.

Just found this channel and shared with my 4 D&D groups great stuff dude

As a somewhat experienced Dm, that's still learning, I've come to accept that players will play how they will. If a campaign derails from the coarse, it either becomes a side quest or a filler episode to aid encouragement to delving into their characters' persona. However, if depicted actions or inappropriate behaviors occur, they make other players feel uncomfortable as well reluctant to want to continue playing or find a way to break the campaign... I made it a universal law in my Dm book to use the Maruts or the inevitables to either remove game breaking items that threaten the world worse than the Bbeg. Or a players character should they violate a universal principle of treating others or subjective implications to use the maruts as a policing force to take that character back to session zero to be judged based on the violation. One can be lenient but swift to take action for others' enjoyment. Only had to use this once for a player who was far from interested but kept persisting. His punishment was three level deductions.

I wrote up a half orc monk, the background was engaging, and he might have been Hag Spawn or both, his childhood was brutal, and the adventurers who raided his home took him to another world where left to his own devices he choice the ways of the monks, forced to soldier for that faction he is of course a monster plus. For now he's off to see the wizard. Good work.

Multi classed with warlock and took the ghostly gaze evocation. Now I can teleport through walls lmao

I have a high elf fey touched conjurer. 2 free misty steps per long rest 👌🏿

Man. I was thinking hobgoblin before I saw you video. I would think he would be pissed he didn't die for his god. Upset because he didn't have a glorious death every time he won. Or disappointed due to the lack of a true warrior on the battle field. That Spartan quote. " maybe there is someone down there that can give me a glorious death"

... FR lore is not the whole of D&D lore.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thinking about doing a knowledge domain cleric run with low int. Possibly making the character illiterate. Thinking about making a dungeon delving magical artifact collecting role. The idea of making them a genetic hybrid for a church sounds interesting. I don't know what diety would be interesting to pick though. Any suggestions?

my favourite build ive ever played is a shadarkai shadow monk 6/gloomstalker 3, the shadarkai gives nice teleports before i get to level 6 monk and i only really took ranger for the invisibility in darkness anything else i get is just neat extras. if i ever got higher than level 9 id most likely take all the other levels into monk again. i just wish there was a way to make blowguns useful as the old 2014 tashas monk would allow me to turn weapons into monk weapons
