A Crap Guide to D&D [5th Edition] - Character Sheet

[@OPSDK]

If you are rolling "Death Saving Throws" when you get 3 saves you are at 0 HP still you are just "Stabilized" and "Unconscious" meaning you don't have to keep rolling saving throws. Rolling a nat 20 will bring you back up at 1 HP but 3 death saves will not. EDIT: This is merely me being a big dork, its a small detail he put a lot into these videos so small hiccups are always going to be a thing. I did not expect this to blow up. JoCat please keep up the amazing work you have inspired me to take up art in the form of 3D animation I hope I can provide back some of the amazing content you have given this community one day!

Yeah, i'm here for the same reason.

Another correction: Mage Hand is a cantrip, so casting 5 per day as JoCat said isn't actually illegal and the DM isn't authorized to commit dice consume.

[@sylvanas9329]

Also, I might be remembering wrong, but a 10 on a death save is actually a fail. EDIT: Apparently I was remembering wrong! You may now ignore me.

"Mage bullets" make WAY MORE SENSE than a slot. Slot sounds like something to be filled.

[@doughnutboyo6922]

I'm not an expert, but from what I could gather casters in 1.&2. edition had to had to prepare each spell by "filling" one of thier slots with the specific spell . You also could only prepare each spell only once. This is sometimes referred to as "Vancian casting", since it was based on the magic in the "Dying Earth" series by Jack Vance. Mages would forget the spell they cast and had to use a spellbook to recover them. I'm 17 tho and got this from D&D videos on youtube, so might not be 100% accurate.

[@amandaslough125]

@@War_Magus While the concept is easy, the vocabulary certainly isn't. (like how attack bonus should be accuracy bonus so players don't confuse it with a bonus to your damage, which was something needed to be clarified in the video). Calling it something like "stored mana" that you have to recharge each day, and then "attune" it to whatever spells you want to use, would be a lot easier for players to understand, and function the exact same way.

For those genuinely unsure about the flaws section, I have a quick and easy recommendation: A crippling fear, and a stress response. For your crippling fear you can use thing like fire, or the dark, or the ocean. Or you can try for more exotic and vague ones like your past, or blood, or alcohol, or magic. The magic fear has a slightly more difficult but interesting cousin in the form of casting characters who are specifically afraid of their OWN magic. This works best for sorcerers and warlocks, but you could probably squeeze it in to anyone who uses magic. For stress responses, the most common ones are just flat out running, some form of RP paralysis, a mental breakdown, passing out, a blind violent rage, or something of that nature. You can get more inspiration by checking out the various madness tables in the DMG.

[@steeledminer616]

Alternatively a situation that may get them to act against their best interests. "I am prone to jump headfirst into dangerous situations" as an example.

[@kjj26k]

​@@steeledminer616 An example that is a mix of that and a fear, from Critical Role: The Rogue that is so deeply afraid of losing anyone in the party that he is constantly throwing himself into very risky situations and frontline combat so as to meet potential threats and take them out before they could threaten the others. The fear is "losing someone" The stress response is "yeet myself at the threat blades first"

We love ya for what you do, but also for who you actually are. The character is fun, it's part of the style of video of course! But never think that you're stuck with it, do you want you want to do.

You dont know how much I appreciate this. I needed this so much because character stats have always scared me. I'm pretty new to DnD. I've only played twice and those two times the stats both confused and scared me. The DM basically held my hand on both occasions in terms of stats which was good because it helped me but bad because I still couldn't learn stats properly with the spoon feeding and hand holding. I've watched several videos on how to understand this but yours is my favorite one so far. Its waaay more entertaining to watch and very simplified to someone like me who only understands numbers in baby language. I understood it much easier watching you and had a good laugh while at it. This is titled as a crap guide but it's far from it and made me understand more than most of the serious videos I watched explaining this. I know you might not be able to read this but thank you so much for this.

In the second to last session, my honor bound fighter had put herself between the squishy sorcerer (nephew's character) and the purple worm we were fighting. What happens next? It starts with the predictable "Grab, chomp, chomp, chew" followed by the less predictable zappity zap from the sorcerer's lightning spell while my character was in the maw of said beast. At least with Fireball, my character's dex is high enough to dodge much of the damage. (We did end up killing the beast, and I was revived after.) Also, it was that session that the DM (my brother) had instituted the "one level of exhaustion for every time you drop below zero" rule... Seeing that it's only been my character who's dropped and rolled death saves in the group, I think the rule should be named after her. It's a good thing I'm not emotionally invested in her. She was one of the stack of characters I rolled to be used as "spare characters in case someone died" (my brother and I are both DM's), and I grabbed her instead of rolling up a new one because of "things happening with some of our players" drama, and couldn't use Grabbins, the Goblin Rogue I had rolled up.
