Races of the Realms: Firbolg - The Dungeoncast Ep.72

[@benjloh]

Othea was Annam's wife and the Firbolg's progenitor. Hiatea is his daughter (who was raised in Firbolg society) who was raised in secret because Annam favored sons. Hiatea is a kind of patron deity of the Firbolg.

It's called Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and they were GIANTS then. 10 feet tall.

[@philiphamel8504]

I have a firbolg druid named Mamandil (Tolkien Elven for Shepherd) and he was a Circle of the Shepherd Druid (at 12th level, a dragon tooth totem {back story stuff}) gave him and his allies resistance to fire.

[@coachandrewb]

I have a level 3 firbolg Sheppard druid named "Moss". He has 4 goats he talks to and barely communicates with the party at all. He has no idea how social structures work.

[@belainegibsson.2082]

I just had an idea for a firbolg character today, and was wondering how long I'd have to wait for this video. You guys are maaaaagic!

[@belainegibsson.2082]

Nice hat btw, Brian. Just noticed it.

[@thomrade]

Great show! Had no idea the firbolg were in DnD. A lot of irish mythology aeems to have influence on it :)

[@NoGodsUnderStars]

It took me until 8:21 to realize they were in the same room, wild man.

[@Dutchofclass]

one of my new favourite races in d&d :) hope to play an oath of the ancients paladin Firbolg who wields a greatclub and whose armor consists of tough bark and bits of metal and rock ^^

[@McBabe12329]

Firbolg are basically Ogier from The Wheel of Time series

Dm:"Hey do you speak Elvis?" Elf: "yeah, I speak Elvish!" Dm: "no, Elvis, not Elvish." Bard: " uuuu-uhuh!"

[@InquisitorThomas]

Now I want to make a Fir Bolg Paladin who dual wields a Hammer and a Sickle, and homebrew an Oath of Communism.

[@polyjohn3425]

An Oath of Equity would work

[@charlottewalnut3118]

Inquisitor Thomas So basically murdering absolutely anyone who has property that’ll work of course eventually you’ll be destroyed as all communists must be

Firlbolg is from celtic mythology. First game I saw it as a playable race was in Shadowrun 3rd edition, as a troll subrace.

[@jeredsizemore3108]

I cant wait to play a super wholesome druid firbolg

[@HughStLeger]

Pronounced either fur bolg or fear bol-ugg it loosely translates to man of the stomach as in stomach being the core or central.from what I understand I might be wrong but I am irish

[@himboghost629]

When I thing of firbolgs I just think of one scene from critical role "I am enchanter pumat soul" "I am also enchanter pumat soul" "I myself am also enchanter pumat soul" "the 4th one is in the back"

[@EmethMatthew]

Love Firbolg

[@darkfundip1198]

Notification squad! Great video as usual guys, keep up the good work

[@aurinsaint9058]

Firbolgs remind me of the Ogier in Robert Jordans wheel of time book series. =-)

[@-Siculus-Hort-]

Aurin saint thought the same thing!

[@ScrewtopReviews]

This is spot-on!

[@coachandrewb]

It's actually fear-bolg, it's a real word in the real world.

[@johnathanmartin1504]

Othea is the wife of Annam and mother of giantkin, not Hiatea, who is Annam's daughter, so you messed up there (I kind of see why though, since Firbolg are giantkin who often worship Hiatea). Other than that though, great episode about my favorite D&D race!

[@TamirHalfon007]

Yesssss thank you!!!!

[@psoren423]

Relistening to the Firbolg episode in the year of the Giant. That intro music is etched in my brain and all the rest of the series episodes instantly became less good hearing the original soundtrack.

[@burritoburnett]

my firbolg is a ranger who got seperates from his tribe when a dragon attacked his gathering party. He worked on the docks in Harbortown and since they dont use names he answers to "Dude" "Bro" or "Hey,Dick!".....the last one became his name

[@gentlemansgambit1018]

GCSE History does cover the Boston tea party but it's only like 1 lesson on the entirety of the American independence. But overall half our GCSE is on America because we do everything from the boom and depression to the cold war.

[@ScrewtopReviews]

It's like these guys were made for me.

[@lntnchrs1]

kinda new to the podcast. keep up the great work guys

[@EmethMatthew]

With the height change on disguise self, you just duck or crouch and it looks like you're especially paranoid about bumping your head because you're so short... 😁

[@llewballantine6678]

I somehow seem to have missed this one? I could have sworn I'd seen it but then I was watching these by topic/playlist so that's maybe what happened, it doesn't seem to be in the races playlist. Interesting episode nonetheless! I've been rewatching anyway, so whether I've seen it or not isn't too much of an issue. Just means my binge was less successful than I thought 😂

[@JaediasDragonChronicle]

Everything I know about the Boston Tea Party is from TV/the internet. It never came up in my schooling, for sure.

[@noahpreuss2795]

The quote discription in Volos is pretty hype.

[@MrRazielsBeast]

i normally do a mix and call it dwarven and elvish. Elvish since it is what it was called in my LARP and the Dwarf didn't have more than like 2-4 players out of the 400 so no one really used Dwarvish

[@dannyg9481]

Elven and Dwarven!! ✊

[@WouldUKindly47]

The correct pronunciation is Feer-buhl-ug

[@ryleybryson4627]

Love the show, love the content, love everything.... but stop saying INDEED Will!!

[@ryleybryson4627]

and yes, ELVEN not Elvish

[@Tomatowormprince]

I find it weird Firbolgs can be understood by animals and plants but they can't understand animals and plants. Anyone can talk to a tree and not have it respond.

[@ItstheREALthiggy]

are there half breeds? like Firbolg and dwarf?

[@ryanbrown5905]

We Brits have dealt with plenty of independence movements. The loss of America was rough but given that we were still dealing with the effects of Irish independence into the 90’s it’s hardly that important today. And it was before the true rise of Pax Britannica in the 1800s. Also in regards to late 1700s society changing events you kinda lose to the French Revolution.

[@patrickhenry6695]

Isn’t that the same revolution where there were several mass purges and it ended with a dictator taking power over the French government? Doesn’t sound very revolutionary to me.

[@killcat1971]

Not English but the perception of non-Americans is ... different, the whole "no taxation without representation" was a front for a naked power grab, tea was one of the few things that was taxed, and that was because it came from English colonies. Or do you think it was mere coincidence that the people who ran the "revolution" ended up in power, they were mainly rich land owners (by the standards of the time0 and ended up creating a system that enshrined power in the hands of the rich.

[@shamusfarmer]

You call it a "naked power grab", I call it not wanting to be bossed around by a smaller country with a tiny fraction of our potential. PS: The people in charge were rich land owners? Why that's outrageous! Whose ever heard of such a thing?

[@theLuvpanda1]

The "no taxation without representation" excuse was a con to whip up anti-British sentiment, the British worked out early on that shipping taxes back to Britain cost more than what was collected. Remember all these taxes would need to be shipped very slowly across seas where British ships were routinely attacked by French Spanish ships as well as pirates so needed armed escorts. This journey is the same reason colonial US leaders never took up their reserved seats in the UK Parliament. The British instead decreed that the taxes should be used yo develop the colonies. To increase export of goods which were less likely to be attacked than a shop full of gold. This agreement was working fine until American colonies wanted to expand into native American territory and the British said no. So the taxation was an easy excuse to turn the masses against British rule.

[@paulcoy9060]

I think you can speak Elvish, but carry an Elven blade, but that's just me. Dwarven should apply to both speech and adjectives.

[@PrimordialAnnihilator]

Lloth please

[@xenoblad]

I can see a firbolg being more comfortable with a civilization if the town was democratic and all the businesses were worker owned democratically ran cooperatives ALA the city of Mondragon, Spain.

[@somedumbguya9002]

firbolg is pronounced feer-bolg not fur-bolg
