Win the fight! - Advanced combat in Dragonbane

[@Madkingstoe]

I've become a fast fan of Ellinor. I love how her jokes come out of nowhere and are always critical hits. I'd love to have her at my gaming table.

[@lyrics-of-war]

Look up lost mountain podcast (vaesen)

[@Madkingstoe]

@@lyrics-of-war Thanks, I will

[@BCSully83]

Lost Mountain is excellent! She also was on Androids and Aliens, the long-running show by Glass Cannon Network playing Starfinder. That's where I first found her and she's excellent in it! (Fair warning: they're a sarcastic bunch)

[@neiana]

Not only that, but so dead-pan and matter-of-fact. Love it.

[@wat2374-g6m]

Ellinor's passion and skill makes her the perfect teacher and I'm always excited to see a new video from Free League with her in it.

[@gamemasters]

brilliant! I really enjoy Dragonbane, have finally read through everything on it, the rules, the bestiary, have poured over the map, and I think (for me) the biggest appeal is it's focus on roleplaying and not so much on crunchy dice rolls. Plus these videos here are super entertaining :)

[@moonfell]

Lol "Zero ducks to give" I get it. Always happy to see your face, Elli! ♥️

[@Agent_Pumpkin]

Ellinor explains things better than I do to my players! More Ellinor please! How about Journeys next? And maybe some similar Vaesen vids as well?

[@AmazingAaxor]

Loving these snippets of Ellinor explaining things. Very funny and informative 😊

[@Pvnth-R]

Ellinor's chaotic energy is what the world needs

[@merkinhero3983]

I love your shirt, Elli!

[@MyCampaignRules]

Your videos are so fun. My group is looking at Dragonbane and I've been having a fun time watching your videos.

[@patatedestenebres]

Very pleasant explainations sequence! Thank you Ellinor!

[@feagal612]

I was rooting for Karl all the way then... Ellinor does a great job with these.

[@OfHollowMasks]

more Ellinor and Dragonbane!

[@rpgtime5423]

Love these video. Ellinor cracks me up.

[@northsunTabletopGames]

Great video, nice clean explanation of the combat rules! Plus the host is hilarious 🙂

[@ChrisChapmanIAm]

I am now invested - I need to know what happens to Carl the Manticore.

[@JeffsGameBox]

Karl made me laugh. Way to embrace the Mirth.

[@raymonddeancona4522]

I love your presentation! Makes me smile every time. You do a fantastic job of making game mechanics fun. Very much appreciated!

[@DaVeO52]

I have just begun to run a campaign with Dragonbane. I have linked Ellinor's vids to my Discord for the players. 5⭐

[@jordisociasperez2030]

Hi! Thanks for the videos! I think I got it right but my guess is “Magic” could be a good candidate for the next one.

[@eliatardy5964]

And she s a classik hard rock fan ! What a goddess !

[@stumpywest1652]

love this video and Ellinor is awesome

[@dmeep]

Manti-Carl

[@ninjunc]

For Karl!

[@TheGreasyGoblin916]

Great stuff! But did Karl make two Razor Sharp Bites in a row? Not sure he should do that. Bad Manticore!

[@jeanbaptisteballie]

On the 1st round the manticore has an initiative card of 5 and the mallard a card of 6 so why did he act first ?

[@EllinorDilorenzo]

Good catch, those two cards should have been swapped.

[@mistermakebelieve]

Mechanics are cool. You're cooler. Got jokes this one - and funny jokes.

[@TerrierHalo]

Thank you kindly, I too am a man with a beard.

[@raldanash_rpg]

Very good explanation, I just find the music a touch too loud.

[@matc1995]

i agree , just a touch

[@michaelhill6453]

Why did't the manticore use one of its actions to dodge...While I'm at it, why do monsters get a blanket Evade skill level of 15? Should a blundering giant also be so nimble on its feet.

[@dane3038]

IS Dragonbane "Deadly" though. Looking at the Quick-start, is seems to have the exact same Death Save Mechanic as D$D 5e ( along with a lot of other 5e mechanics ). That Death Save Mechanic is the biggest reason 5e characters are so hard to kill. Really, that's how D$D 5e hides the truth that it's a Narrative Focused RPG.

[@stepansraka3608]

Death save mechanic is a relatively minor factor in making characters hard to kill. Ever increasing hp pool, trivial healing and lack of lasting injuries are main reasons of low death ratio in 5e. While healing is relatively easy in Dragonbane, hitpoints are almost static, equal to characters CON. Which puts you in potential one-shot range against most monsters and beefier humanoids. Add to that the fact that monsters attacks autohit. and you need to spend your only action for the turn if you want to parry/dodge - and you'll see that party wipe is ever present danger in Dragonbane.
