I need to see a sitcom of these two as travel guides/explorers across the various D&D settings. Will trying super hard to take things seriously and get things right while Will just fucks around and loves the audience. Probably my favorite D&D channel right now, one of my favorites on here in general :)

10:17 I believe indentured servitude was a way to pay for crimes instead of prison, like community service but all day every day for years and on a rich guy’s land instead of a highway. A lot of the indentured servants in the American Colonies for example were war prisoners from Scotland and Ireland, but some also volunteered to be indentured servants because they wanted to go to the new world but were too poor to pay their way.

The flavor of the subclass is by far some of the beat I've seen from any and this lore video has me even more pumped to play it! Thank you!

Towards the end they talk about wanting to have warlock pacts and to be Djinnborn well Kobold Press's Midgard campaign that can be played easily in 5th edition totally offers warlocks pacts and the race for djinnborn it's very cool

I would love to see a episode where you guys just do some homebrew. I always love when you start talking about what you would change about things. I loved the idea of the genie bloodline and warlock pact and now I'm probably going to do some research and do some homebrew of my own to make them. I could make another warlock where there parent is there patronlike my very first d&d character but this time I don't have to be a tefling. Not that I have a problem with them, again they where they first thing I ever played.

I just started one in a cloud city in the Elemental plane of air and I'm sending them to the prime for the quests but there are wars and all kinds of crap that they will be dropping in to. I want to make it so that they actually feel like going back to the cloud city where they are slaves is safer then trying to stay in the prime. But we will see where it goes.

Also tell Will there are Elemental Sorcerers, they're essentially Genie blood line anyways. There's Sea, Storm, Stone and Phoenix Sorcery, furthermore the Kaladesh Pyromancer allows for redone to fit the other Elements. The Devs dont wanna force Genie bloodline on Sorcerers but they allow for these 5 to be recoloured essentially to be Genie Sorcerers, and i even think that in the Storm Sorcerer lore it even says that you could be from the bloodline of a Air Genie
@InquisitorThomas5 жыл бұрын
I agree with you that we don't need an expressly "Genie Bloodline/pact" and they can be broad to have a large variety of potential origins, but so far only the storm sorcerer, the theoretical Djinn bloodline is official so far, stone, sea, and Phoenix are unearthed arcana.

Teach a Dao that you can breed your slaves. then just have that one dao run a breeding palace. so the slaves do nothing but breed. all the male babies and male slaves they capture are traded to other dao to acquire females and then occasionally barter for breeding rights from better male specimens. then eventually the Dao would realize that Genasi are more durable slaves then pure mortals.

I have stumbled upon a treasure trove that is this channel. I really was curious about genies and browsed the channel and its awesome. I dunno how they determine the topic on the next video but I hope to hear about the Evil Elemental Princes, Archdevils, Classes, monsters and races and stuff. Hopefully a video on each of the Guilds of Ravnica, I know it isn't Faerun or Eberron but it's just as innovative and a good setting for a campaign in my opinion.

I havent watched you guys in ages, but this is definitely a great episode to return to as genies are some of my favourite dnd creatures in dnd. And i am very much with Will on this, i have wanted a genie pact warlock for ages now! and i have actually seen homebrews of it that were pretty good. in fact, there was one that used the whole "your eldritch blast changes to the corresponding element" thing too (they gave dao pact warlocks thunder damage since it relates to tremors/earthquakes).

I feel like you could flavor the Fiend pact Warlock to an Efreeti pact. As you said in the video Devils and Efreet are quite similar: lawful evil, Fire related, known for making deals. The expanded spell list includes fire spells. Dark Ones Luck could be Minor Wish Granting. Hurl through Hell could be Passed through Planar Fire.

Speaking of warlock patrons, what about a powerful hag? Has that option ever been explored?
@jbkesselman4 жыл бұрын
Archfey technically could be a powerful hag
@shamusfarmer4 жыл бұрын
@@jbkesselman@@jbkesselman Eh, I suppose... But i think that would need a lot of re-flavoring. The archfey stuff is all about the mysterious magic of nature, of illusions and of esoteric fey-dwellers. I'd imagine that a hag's agenda would be far darker and more evil than a chaotic, neutrally-minded archfey's ever would be... One could perhaps gain access to the hag's "weird magic", possibly requiring EVEN MORE despicable acts to earn such dark boons. Curses, hexes, summonings, poisons, necromancy, and even entering into contracts with desperate mortals yourself (if your hag patron would allow it) would be preferable to misty step or glamor bard or whatever...

Good work my dudes. My campaign has a heavy elemental presence and the Marid and Dao have already made brief appearances. I tend to think of marid as kind of bumbling idiot savants who easily get offended when you don't do things their way but are super easy to manipulate and pacify if you play to their egotism.
