Aasimar healing hands can be a game changer for people who don't like playing classes without the ability to easily self heal, even if they aren't necessarily the most optimal for other stats, so it's almost always worth making space in your build for those 7 APs to get the full line of racial core enhancements - they also work while raging too :)

Hey, man. How can I get my dragonmarks? I'm playing as half-elf and I want the spell Call Lightning Storm on my race tree, but i need to have least dragonmark and lesser dragonmark of storm. I'm new to the game and having an horrible time trying to figure things out. I'm playing for some months now, i still didnt figured a lot of stuff. Could you help me?

[@Strimtom]

It's a feat! You gotta take it at level 1, 3, 6, 9, 12,15 or 18!

[@eversongabriel7099]

@@Strimtom Thank you so much, brother!

[@milevanfaent]

I love how he basically said our own race is very basic and boring XD

[@viperswhip]

I am watching this, it depends on your class of course, if you don't get free heavy armor usage or ASF reduction in your class (Wizards), then you have to be an Elf or Drow. You need to be able to use the Shadow Guard Heavy Plate now. Here's a quick hack, since they reduced the damage, that and the cloak from the Halloween event gets you 75 DR from just two pieces of gear, and of course they have other stats, but mobs just don't do much damage anymore, I can roll through R2 solo Sharn no problem now. Also, Humans can get DDoor in their Dragonmark, and that's huge for running challenges.

17:30 I have no idea why they didn't add a medium armor plating. It seems to me that would be more useful than a light armor version.

[@anulfolantigua6291]

Are they finally going to blend all servers Into 1 big one

[@vinnyclegg]

Strimtom, i love your videos, but did you actually forget to mention dwarfs get con-to-dmg?

[@Strimtom]

Con to damage isn't good for a modern build so I neglected to mention it. It's more of a noobtrap for sure

[@Hellfurian1972]

Well shite, I didn't realize that they charged for other races. Just DLed the game and now will just delete it. Greed pisses me off!

[@goodman7097]

I just came back after a long while these are just perfect. I hope you plan on making a lot of these the community could really use some new fresh ones.

[@Strimtom]

I plan to make many many. I have like 27 videos coming up on beginner topics

[@davidlussier7447]

Gonna talk about D&D next time too?? WOWOWOWOW! Good content for new and returning players, like myself!

[@beastguitargaming]

Everyone knows you always pick Dwarf, Strim *eyeroll*

[@AnvilMAn603]

i prefer wood elves for bow rogues specifically but not melee rogues but eh might just be me

[@אביבשמאי-ז6ר]

mithral plating with ek armored arcana is better than nothing?

[@piotrmarc2038]

great content as allways , can easyly like befor watch at that point .

[@Glaciuxx]

Are races vital when picking a class or can people play whatever race class combo and be ok ?

[@Strimtom]

Generally you can combo whatever, but there are advantages and disadvantages for each choices

[@777dragonborn]

Half elf bard cleric.

[@jasonpatino]

Have they instituted bug bears as playable races yet?

[@Strimtom]

Not yet.

[@calebwilloughby7134]

Wooaohhhww

[@Gregwing]

Are you doing a separate one on the Iconics?

[@Strimtom]

I will be doing a seperate for iconics!

[@theshadowsovereign8914]

How about some Time-Stamps? Sorry, I'm not watching all 19 minutes of this video. Tried looking for Aasimar, couldn't find anything in the Video.
