I mean technically yes. But Bardic Inspiration does allow slightly better rolls. So really Sexy boy can use it up his chances at pickpocketing the key from the guard. Than use it to help his party succeed at the proceeding combat phase. It's not guaranteed success but these are murder hobos so they're at least good at fighting. So even a little push makes a difference.

[@MarcoSanchez.BajoTierraYPaso]

@@clothar23 but he cant use it on itself

[@clothar23]

@@MarcoSanchez.BajoTierraYPaso Depends on how you interpret the orginal text of Bardic Inspiration . It says " You can as a bonus action on your turn to choose a creature within 60 feet who can hear you. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die , a d6 . " It makes no mention of it having to be someone other than you. Since I would argue you're always within sixty feet of yourself. If we go with the revised D&D Beyond than yes. It specifically states it has to be someone else. Of Course a better counterpoint would be is that He's a College of Swords Bard . Since unlike say a College of Lore Bard he doesn't get acess to Peerless Skill which would let you add Inspiration die to your skill checks.

[@Senok13]

Well, if it fits to the character she play, then a little bit of mental instability here and there could be counted as "good roleplaying", instead of being a a problem. I had once a dark elf Gunslinger (a subclass of the fighter), who has a pirate background, and some problem with drinking... That was the reason, why get stuck on the land, after his crew once needed to go in a hurry, while he was lying uncoscous in some tavern... I get a unique "feat" from our Dungeon Master for that: he get named "Alcoholic", given resistence any alcohol based poison or just hard liquor (he build up some tolerance towards them through the years), he he get disadvantage in dexterity, intelligence and wisdom checks, if he doesn't consumed the required amount of alcohol in the last 8 hours, thanks to the withdrawal symptoms. It was a part of the character, used both for comic relief reasons, and sometimes it was helpful in other situations too. (As an alcoholic, i always bring some bewerage with me in bottles, and when we needed to go into a tight cave, and our claustrophobic priest - obviously - didn't want to follow us, i had my "liquid courage" with me, to gave him enough bravery to defeat it's fear, and we were able to kill the monster in there. The problem was when he get sober up, and i had not enough drink to both satisfy my own thirstyness and get him drunk again, so our resident barbarian had to knock him out, to bring him back (the big cavern room was more acceptable to him, than the fissure itself, for what we needed to pass through to reach the outside, so he would stay there, if we let him).

This has to be the best comment of all the comments section.

[@azarinevil]

I mean as a DM with 27 years experience, Nixxie doesn't say anything I would call concerning. However one should take into account I've had a Druid at my table who talked about how good people tasted raw after putting the fear of bear in them, a necromancer who wrote their spellbooks on freshly peeled elf skin and would ask about every elf's skincare and quality, and worst of all the Barbarian with a genius intelligence who could do math, write a thesis, and raged because they didn't get into their wizard college of choice.

I would absolutely watch a feature length film of this party. This _feels_ like the climax of a movie. The ragtag bunch of misfits are beaten and battered and down to their lowest point, but just when all hope seems lost, they rally together as a real team and make a triumphant comeback. The musical swell at 2:38 right as the big brawl breaks out gets me so hyped up, and both big fight sequences are so enjoyable to watch. The absolute best part for me, though, is everything starting at 4:17 with the gear up sequence up until the discordant singing gag. Just everything about that section meshes together wonderfully. I also enjoy how it seems like it's not only Antrius who has just now figured out how this whole "team" thing is supposed to work. Evandra actually abandoned a kill to protect her friends' backs from another attacker, and this might just be the most controlled I've ever seen Nixie's flames.

Heck, I even want their BBEG to get more screen time. He is HILARIOUS. Also that squid guy is really funny, too, so if they had to go up against both of them, I'd love it!

I do believe that singing Nixie is voiced by a different person than the one playing her. For the song it says performed by Thomas Taufan, Eva Devore, Alessia Medina and Kendall Drury. But Nixie is played by Nicole/Fallcosplay

[@2chaskell]

did anyone else get legit chills and hype at 4:34 when they came out singing together like pros :)

[@NWolfsson]

I'm especially proud of Nixxie's actor. Not only does she alter her voice for the role, she adds a heavy lisp which could have been disastrous, but it was really good :)

[@veermudambi5795]

Just this last week my dad ended up in the Emergency Room with a serious heart condition . I sat in that room trying hard not to panic, and watched his vital signs fluctuate for 11 hours . Just that day, I had downloaded a play list of "fun songs." One of them was this video. I play it at least once each hour, and it really helped me hold on to my hope. Thank you all so much for this. I love the video on technical, acting, and as a RPGer grounds, but it will always hold a special place for the hope it gave me! Keep doing these great videos!

LYRICS OF "BARDIC INSPIRATION" based on the subtitles of the song. Antrius : How did we end up inside of these walls ? And what is this punishment for ? Apart from the murder and burning and pillaging, stabbing and slaughtering ? Sure. We just wanted glory and fame. Now we eat from a bucket and poop in a bucket too. So much undone,what a shame So many NPCs we haven't stuck it to. But i will not die before I've laughed I can't deny the world my shaft. This jail's rather understaffed.. I may not be brave like a fighter or magic or strong, but sometimes the key, could be find in a song kinky ! I kill with charisma and cool captivation, Belting out bars of Bardic inspira-a-a-ation. [ BREAK ] Antrius : I'm the hardiest, bardiest bard. Antrius brings salvation ! Timing and tenderness, terribly talented, topped with a bit of alliteraion. *Ahem* Sorry. Evandra with her mighty strength of many men goes to any length She throws a fist, she'll leave you in a daze (Evandra : i'll leave you in a daze) And Nixie says concerning things but mostly ends up burning things. But that's still cool. She'll set the world ablaze ! (Nixie : i'll set the world ablaze) A fireball. Surprising. Guard : Why do I hear harmonising ? Why is he on his back ? Antrius : Spontaneous heart attack ! Guard : What ? Antrius : Spontaneous heart attack. Guard : Okay, well explain the fire. *guard's scream* - CHORUS - Antrius : When you're down and you're out and there's problems aplenty, You'll always come through, with a NATURAL 20 ! Ready to face all the foes in our way, But anyone can be undone by any 1.. But not today ! [ FIGHT BREAK ] Doesn't this slap ? Damn ! Best song i ever wrote. Helping my best friends punch a guy in the throat. So on our game. Look at us go. No "I" in team. There's just "A" though ! Which stands for Antrius. Badily Badibly Bapbidly Bapbapbap [ EPIC MOMENT ] Antrius : Fighting valiantly for our cause. Evandra : Swords and metal can settle scores. Nixie : Screams can sound so much like applause. Just close your eyes ! Evandra : Everyone dies Antrius : We're products of our milieu. We're sexy but we'll kill you Everything's broken and charred We're half-elf, Pink and the Bard. Tiefflin guard, dying on Antrius's lap : Am I dying ? Antrius : Slip into bliss. You can rest in my hands. No more on this mortal coil shall you dance. Tiefflin guard : I see a light.. Antrius : Walk towards it then ! You'll never see your ugly children again. Tiefflin guard : What ? Antrius : Or your awful wife, or your tiny house, or your measly food, or your tacky goblets, or your cracked crockery and dishes. Tiefflin guard : Why ? Antrius : My mockery is vicious [ INSTRUMENTAL AND RELOOKING BREAK ] - CHORUS - Antrius/ Nixie/ Evandra : When you're down and you're out and there's problems aplenty, You'll always come through, with a NATURAL 20 ! Ready to face all the foes in our way, But anyone can be undone by any 1.. But not today ! lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala !~ We'll always pass the test no matter how we're vexed. And now ?

1:28 in Antrius' defense, he tried using it on himself in the "Rules as Writen" episode, 2nd season. He just wasn't allowed because Bards can't Inspire themselves.

IIRC, a College of Swords bard uses their bardic inspiration to fuel their special abilities. Not the same thing as inspiring yourself, but boosting your own AC for a round has saved my groups bard more than once.

​@@MonkeyJedi99 Actually, this is from College of Valor, not Swords. But you are correct. The point is: They do get Combat Inspiration, although I highly doubt Antrius is a college of valor bard, he actually just sang his way out of troubles while the party defeated everyone.
