I love Matt’s exasperation over how game-breaking the planetar is lmao

[@sillyking1991]

tbf...he's level 17+ turning into a planetar is far from the most gamebreaking he could be lol

[@O9bz3]

@@sillyking1991 i need some examples

[@sillyking1991]

@@O9bz3 oh i was referring to the fact that he has access to wish, which means he cast any 8th level spell from any class list, alternatively he can start turning into dragons of rather high strength. as he starts going higher he starts getting access to some beefy fiends (red abishai, balor, pit fiends. at level 20 he could turn into two varient of ancient dragons. point being that planetars (and angels in general) are all rather fragile. they have higher than average AC but A LOT lower than tehy should HP. (as in they have less HP than similar creatures of the same CR. the tradeoff is they do more damage per strike. they're quintessential glass cannons.

[@SPACEHARICE]

@@sillyking1991 can he wish to permanently become a planetar

[@sillyking1991]

@@SPACEHARICE he wouldnt need to. Thats what theyre talking about in that clip, regarding his time limit. He turned into a planetar via true polymorph. If hed concentrated on it for an hour the effect would become 'permanent until dispelled' Now, thats not neccisarily the same as wishing to become a permanent planetar. So, to circle back to the core of your question, its not something i can answer. What you *can* do with wish is entirely based on the dm, so itd be up to how matt runs wish. I'd let someone use wish as a form of instant, permanent polymorph. But theyd thennsuffer the downside of thebwish after the transformation. They would also, most likely, lose essentially all of their former class features based on what theu turned into. But thays just me

[@trixus4768]

Turning into planetar is the best think you can do if you need to interrogate someone. Nobody (not even a god) is able to lie to you, it's stupidly OP😂😂😂

[@couragew6260]

Just to be more specific for any outsiders, you will know if the creature (even a god) is lying to you, but you won’t know what they’re hiding.

[@DarkAuraLord]

I've seen campaign 1 all the way through like 3 or 4 times and I never caught Liam's "what a diva (deva)" line before. God dammit.

[@AlexShmalex01]

Seen it 3 or 4 times wtf how much time do you have god damn

[@DarkAuraLord]

@@AlexShmalex01 Well, I guess "seen" is a bit disingenous. I've "seen" it through maybe like twice. I usually have it on in the background while I do other stuff, so it's not like I'm just only doing that. I just really like CR and get impatient for thursday I guess lol. probably gonna rerun through all of what's out for C2 soon too.

[@owlpear]

Okay, that exchange between Liam and Marisha was the perfect capper for this video. Thank you for your service.

this is one great old gem! Thanks for reminding me of this "magical" moment.

[@sodawax3457]

... so, who wants to see this in the animated series?!

Boooo, they didn't include the scene when scanlon pleasured himself as an angel! They're being censored! Boooo 😉

Wow the work you put in that, love it!

So glad you're making these videoa! Keep it up man! You are awesome!

Glad you like it. I was going to schedule all these ones but as soon as I'm finished I just want people to see them :-)

[@christofferhougaard]

@@sodawax3457 That's very kind of you! I'm always looking forward to the next video from you! Always a good way to start a day, by watching CR moments!

[@envytee9659]

Damn, it's kinda impressive how Matt goes from laughing his ass off with the perverts (4:58) to straight up poker face (5:12) in a matter of seconds.

[@steadili4416]

Ur edits with Sam’s face XD priceless

[@sodawax3457]

Thank you :) this was one of my hardest videos....but I needed people to see what Barbaralla was :-)

Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wang!

[@ayumihamano]

I read this as Planateer.

[@BigMac8000]

Homebrew that into something, it's a great start. Kinda like privateer (pirate). I feel like this relates somehow to fans of Captain Planet possibly.

[@709mash]

It is pretty much Dr. Manhattan with wings, so the thumbnail is apt 🤣

[@TacticalReaper56]

the ending on this video is amazing :,)

So, he became johnny sins?

[@grimrider3807]

Would appreciate a episode number in these. Wasn’t sure if I should watch or not.

[@sodawax3457]

Super good point sorry. I will fix that up and do better with my next ones. I left it off because it was a mix of 3 but ill just put on the first ep which is Elysium 104. Thanks for the feedback

Also to Zack Snyder's Watchmen (2009)

[@hamad4269]

how did he turn himself into it? can someone point me to that skill? is it part of the bard skill list?

[@sodawax3457]

It's a spell called True Polymorph

[@lucaswinsor4469]

True Polymorph: you can turn yourself or any other creature or object into a different creature with an equal or lower challenge rating, or (if you're doing it to a player or npc) a challenge rating equal to or lower than its level. A planetar has a challenge rating of 16, so Scanlan, at the time level 17, can become one easily.

[@TheDaviMan]

"yeah bitch"

[@abaddonarts1129]

20 Bucks says if he kept the form then Matt would have had something counteract it in the sense that he's abusing the form of a god-sworn being and therefore would be bound to a gods will

[@TheNobleAthelstane]

Yeah bitch!

[@ToozDaeYO]

Might as well change into a Solar instead. Much better

[@TheDrexxus]

You can only turn into a creature with a CR equal to or less than your character level. Solars are CR 21. You will never be able to turn into one as level 20 is the cap. You'd need any combination of homebrew nonsense to make that possible.

[@ToozDaeYO]
