You overlooked something about the Genasi: According to the Elemental Evil Player's Companion, Genasi can be formed through magical experimentation with the Elemental magics, gone wrong. So you can just be a Wizard who was practicing an improved Conjure Elemental spell, and then you accidentally, blast yourself in the face with pure energy from the Plane of Air, becoming an Air Genasi.

As a dm I had to check the statistics (I have a different system for trapping genies) it could work but would take some finagling. The spell doesnt specify you can choose a different vessel for containment aside from the options the spells lays out, gem, antimagic sphere, chains, etc. But a creative player could sway me to modify the way the spell works with a little prep work and luck

[@gabef9538]

Cast a ritual on a place for enough time, day after day, and the stones remember and the magic holds forever. When the weave heals and the morter has washed away, the stones loose their consentration on the spell but remember the goal of the spell. Gargoyles deffend as the spells that made them did, but the details of how excapes their young grasp. Their nature depends on the set of spells. Their silent still fixation is their origin story. Is it a myth or is it their true story?

When I drown characters I use the rules of choking instead. You live for a number of rounds equal to your con modifier minimum of one then death.

[@thoelle5607]

Remember, a round is six seconds. And breathing, like talking, is an action that can be taken at any point. Meaning that if a character sees something coming to drown them in any way, they would have time to hold their breath. The only time when its reasonable to count as choking is when the character is suprised, or something is physically squeezing their neck.

8:30 You'e undervaluing the drown option. A creature can hold it's breath for a number of minutes, yes, but are you really capable of holding your breath if you don't see this permanently invisible monster coming? No. You skip the "minutes until drowning" and go straight to suffocating, AKA "rounds before dropped to zero HP." And keep in mind: someone who drops to zero HP while suffocating CANNOT REGAIN HP **OR BE STABILIZED.** Even if you crit succeed, which would usually put you at 1 HP, you're still dying! Even if you get all 3 death saves, YOU'RE STILL DYING! Until someone manages to pull you out of the water, which is unlikely if you don't have a swim speed, you CANNOT BE RETURNED TO LIFE.

42:35This is sucha pet peeve of mine. What you are asking for would only LIMIT the world of DnD. It would draw down from great heights the ability of DM's to create the very things that you lay out here.

I would be most disappointed with Wizards if they became so controlling over the minutia of the worlds, and magic in particular.

It’s a grey area on the water weird trying to drown the player. You definitely can’t hold your breath while fighting but I’d say save dc 13 or die - be drowned. I would allot death saves though.

You said that a Genasi would never appear in Game of Thrones, but isn't that basically what the whitewalkers are? Humans that had ice magic shoved into them?

Way to use a flail snail(s) in a dungeon without kneecapping them: Hide them behind trap doors. Your unobservant rogue/oblivious Barb/preoccupied fighter steps on a floor tile, triggering the opening of several hidden doors in the walls around them. Behind the doors is/are your flail snail(s), which can easily move into reach in the limited space of a hallway or a trapped room where the door has closed.

The frost salamander seems so unlike the salamanders you're familiar with, because they were originally BECMI D&D monsters from the Known World / Mystara setting. Both flame and frost salamanders were non-sentient brutes in their original depictions, without any language, civilization, or history of their own. The illustration you show at 11:33 gives a good sense of how primitive they were, as well as how viciously and instinctively they hate each other. BECMI D&D treated elementals and their native planes rather differently. Essentially, each such plane had its own solar systems and habitable worlds, with all kinds of terrain, except everything would be made out of solid, liquid or gaseous versions of the appropriate element. Standard air/earth/fire/water elementals were simply "people" there, and both kinds of salamander were monsters lurking in the wild, same as any owlbear or giant lizard on the Material.

My character is a wizard class, Human race. I was born rich, and gold is my family wealth. Can I create a Golem monster using Gold (Gold Golem)?

[@leifcatt]

I broke gargoyles into two types. Natural (elemental) and constructs (like a golem for guarding).

[@RichardVarnegan]

Wait at 21:55 you said gargoyles ward off evil spirits. And you say they accomplish that. That only means one thing...... YOUR A GHOST!!!!!

This is why when a player is in combat and has to deal with holding its breath the rule I use is: They can hold their breath for a number of Rounds equal to 1+CON Mod, before they fall unconscious and cannot regain hit points until removed from the water and a successful medical check. Or other magic effect that makes sense to remove the water from their lunges.

If I may ask... seeing that the "Salamander" which is associated with the "Ifrit" and the Element of Fire....would it be considered as a "primordial fire creature/monster"? Is there such a thing as a "primordial fire creature/monster "?... I'm curious about this as if I understand correctly based on some reading that I've done Monsters such as "Leviathan " is to Sea/Water as "Behemoth " is to Land/Earth as "Ziz" is to Air/Sky... I haven't seen anything on a primordial Fire creature...??? Thanks in advance 📿🙏🏽

Dual boss fight: Crystal Golem and Light Elemental Beat one and the other assimilates the corpse and they become a LASER ATRONACH!!!

24:30 The reason that knights are shown fighting snails in Medeival manuscripts is likely because the Christian monks who wrote the manuscripts feared the snails because they would eat the scrolls. Snails were common in the gardens that monks would often keep. It may be as simple as the monks were “doodling” their irritation.
