MAGIC MUMMIES!? │ D&D: Eye of the Beholder [GBA] Part 4

[@Rozonkomo]

I'm really glad you played this; I'm really sorry it's so bad. Thank you for suffering for a couple extra episodes to give us more out of this often (and reasonably) overlooked game. I'm not sure there was ever a time and place for something like this to shine, but taken purely as entertainment in retrospect it was a delight - if a painful one. Loviatar approves.

[@renatocorvaro6924]

I'm imagining this as not an actual D&D party, but a D&D-based comedy. The party finds a Masterwork Falchion, and Dylan wants it, but can't figure out how to take off his shield, so Jared grabs it and starts swinging wildly because he's not proficient, all while Rose and Vlad sigh in exasperation and get the actual work done. Tadorin shows up partway through like "What did I get myself into?"

[@YawaruSan]

Little did Behr know after being freed from his cell that he’d be forced to fight naked and unarmed for no apparent reason.

[@pharmcat8484]

Correction: for our amusement

[@nerathi]

Yeah but he can actually hit unlike Jerd

[@driftingswordsmanzer]

I’ve really enjoying this series, any D&D game I’ll watch you play.

[@CCaptinnemo]

Ditto

[@xLeifant]

Super glad you’re still playing!

[@SpinningToWin]

34:48 10 Arrows! It will never not follow him.

[@AsilarWindsailor]

I didn't even notice it! But fitting

[@jeck3968]

Really enjoying this series. I played this game as a kid, before I knew anything about dnd, and found it fairly opaque and frustrating. Seeing it played with any kind of success is a lot of fun!

[@masteryoraerasante]

*miss* *miss* *miss* ... Are you sure you chose the right words?

[@TrianiiRanger]

"Vlad gets the Robe of Protection!" *EVIL LAUGHTER*

[@AsilarWindsailor]

It was nicely timed. I like to think it was Vlad himself

[@Bopbo17]

I love this game. It was one of the first ways I was introduced to D&D. I know the game can be rough and dull with the lack of sounds and how clunky the menus are, but still it's a great game. I would love to see more, but I also understand that it can be a rough watch. I would love to see a full play through of this or even Baldur's Gate 1!

[@Malkavian_Grin]

Correction: Dwarven Waraxe is 1d10 vs longsword 1d8, so worth using if barely. Masterwork armor removes the armor check penalty, which affects physical skills like climb, jump, swim, etc.; keep in mind medium/heavy armor will reduce a Dwarf to 15 feet of movement

[@renatocorvaro6924]

It shouldn't reduce a Dwarf's movement at all. In 3rd edition Dwarves have 20ft of movement but they have a racial ability where it doesn't get reduced by wearing armour or carrying heavy loads. But... maybe that was just a 3.5 thing? Or this game screwed it up. Either one seems equally likely to me.

[@Malkavian_Grin]

@@renatocorvaro6924 Yeah I'm not 100% at this point. It's been years and years since I played 3.5... I *thought* they didn't get slowed down but the armor listing shows 20' reduced to 15' (maybe it's listed on the Dwarf specifically).

[@nicholasallen9035]

I’m glad this is continuing 😀

[@jacethomas5562]

Jerd thank you so much for the D n D content in these trying times 🎁

[@ApocApocrypha]

Unarmed naked Behr already did more damage than Jerd.

[@tasselhoff1293]

Maybe the thief isnt trained in using falchions? Normally thieves get simple weapons and a handful of martial weapon skills. Maybe remove that falchion and givem that scimitar? Im enjoying this Jared ❤

[@Shadowfang2k7_NEW]

I just noticed... you have a LIMITED ammount of TURNS (Undead) per day ^^ As someone mentioned you CAN resurrect people!

[@breathstealer5486]

This is why we save and don't use sleep in small areas

[@porcupine9997]

“[Backstabbing.] I’d like to think that’s something I can do.”

[@fabledraccoon]

He certainly backstabbed poor Behr

[@Zer9810]

Always fun to watch, D&D is always great time. But man, the missing fees awful from our end, I can only imagine how Jared must feel. I think Jerd’s character hit at most twice the entire video? For like 1 damage each time. It has to be the weapon at this point, yeah? I can’t think of any other reason that the unarmed dwarf was hitting more consistently and for wayyyyy more damage. Now with more characters leveling up things will hopefully start going along smoother. Keep up the good work, thanks for the video!

[@Psianth]

Rogues aren't proficient with falchions. IF this follows dnd 3.0 rules, he's taking -4 to hit every attack

[@mikeymidnite7685]

>It has to be the weapon at this point, yeah? I think the error is somewhere between the Controller and the Chair.

[@AsilarWindsailor]

At 31:25 that undead creature failed his cast. That's what that quick splotch on him meant

[@iateitguy903]

As far as backstabbing goes, I booted up this game pretty recently and was able to do 11 damage with a flanking dagger, so I'm pretty sure backstab is a thing. My accuracy's still pretty bad, but it seems to be slightly less bad with the flanking. 31:15 The undead guy lost concentration from the opportunity attacks! The game doesn't show it well, but if the name of the spell doesn't come up and it does the little splash it fizzled from concentration/armor failure.

[@tljscrewjob6397]

11:19 Why not just keep Behr in your party and hopefully have another member to land hits on the enemy?!

[@shawnkerner2923]

this game is ...rough. We have definitely raised the bar for D&D games

[@BraghDaMan]

It hurts my soul to see Behr, the competent melee fighter, recruited just to take his gear away, leaving him naked the whole episode no less, and given to the vastly inferior 15 STR fighter. *edit* Oh hey, a kukri! A weapon for rogues! Maybe Jerd will... nope. Still using that two-handed weapon that disables sneak attack. OK.

[@dollenrm]

He even has extra weapons and behr is literally unarmed strike attacking for more damage than his next highest DPS character AND he actually connects

[@zannrazor8569]

This is why cartridges are superior to disk, less chance of failure

[@expressionamidstcacophony390]

Considering how much work turn undead is doing, I am not complaining at all about the mass of undead.

[@sheakennedy-ordway1156]

Dylan is underutilized.

[@mostlyghostey]

I am loving this series.

[@RadimuxCisco]

No sneak attack with two handed weapons

[@danielmechteljr2018]

This is so relaxing to watch but it does look brutal to play. Hopefully you keep it going 🙏🏻

[@philipcollier4883]

Would love a full playthrough of this. Or at least until you reach the SPIDERS 😈

[@moorooster223]

I been hella into the ad&d krynn series dos games and other gold box games recently so seeing you play something similar is really nice. it's not the best d&d video game but it's enough to keep my attention

[@Slytalion]

Damn this game is brutal, good luck Jared😅

[@urbancommando79]

Jared I think the falchion you're using is 2-handed which is why you're not getting sneak attack

[@Psianth]

That shouldn't matter in 3.x. What does is that he can't hit because he has a -4 penalty for using a weapon he's not proficient with, and fighting a lot of undead which are immune to sneak attack.

[@Taldoz]

So if my math is right, that Masterwork Falchion is giving Jerd a total attack bonus of -3ish. Probably lower? And it seems that most enemies are sitting at around 15 AC given how often EVERYONE misses. So he pretty much *has* to crit in order to hit. He won't hit much, but it'll make every hit that much sweeter

[@Kerrpllardy]

Yes, more videeeoooo gaaaammes

[@tljscrewjob6397]

24:02 Darn these old video games for crashing so much! 🤬

[@luvstagrind]

I think I just got done arguing with a bot in your "usless items in Zelda games" vid about the difference between FF XIII and FF VII R combat lol. It was a very convincing troll bot

[@TigerNightmare]

We're approaching the point where Jared should rename his character Kenny.

[@bearbeard6604]

Poor Behr. He really thought he was saved.

[@Kerrpllardy]

Too bad your game keeps crashing, try blowing on the disk when you take it out. And then clean it with shaving cream. Loving this series Jerd.

[@ShadeMeadows]

GIBDOS!! ...Or Stalfos?

[@danieliler886]

All mummies are magic if you only believe

[@golgarisoul]

RATS ==>

[@Malkavian_Grin]

All I hear is the Ghost song... "RATS! Ah-uh-ahhh-ahhhhhh RATS!" 🤣

[@RadimuxCisco]

Tabletop player from the heart. Otherwise you would not be doing this to yourself.

[@jmjm7641]

More dnd december stuff yeahhhh

[@breathstealer5486]

watch Behr become the hero of the campaign

[@westisnt]

Can you even sneak attack with a 2h weapon in 3rd edition?

[@NemenEuler-l5w]

fun show

[@nerathi]

This game is just playing with a bad GM. Like, you're just kinda moving your fig around the grid paper because he's not giving you any feedback or drawing it in until you occupy a space, and then suddenly he rolls your initiative for you and sets down his favorite zombie figs, and you gotta guess that this must be some kind of undead that is fighting you because he won't describe them or let give you any usable info when you ask.

[@napoleonfeanor]

Did this game come with a big manual? The unsimplified D&D has always confused me without tutorial as I never had an opportunity to do the non video game one. My PC is too old for BG3 but I thought actually throwing virtual D20 dice was kinds diminishing the immersion.

[@Mr_Wulff]

It did not. It came with one of the standard GBA instruction manuals that couldn't have been more than 20 or so pages long. From what I remember, it didn't explain very much.

[@JMaxPlayZ_]

it came with a 42 pages manual, I guess that's pretty big

[@philipcollier4883]

The manual was a mini PHB trying to describe all the feats the game had.

[@mrblarfh9327]

Is Jared having the team search the doors then wondering why they aren’t lifting them with strength?

[@TheRetroReplay]

Is this a port of a Sega Genesis game? the music sounds like it was from that system

[@jamesevensen863]

The game has no music. Dillon edited it in.

[@TheDirtbaggrif]

It would probably be easier to backstab if every fight didn't take place in a 10ft hallway

[@icarolamarao6375]

I kinda feel bad for behr, dude just wanted to be free

[@OutlawDin0]

I think the game is using a d12 for attack rolls.

[@jeffreybasker5810]

Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss...

[@ezequielali9400]

play solasta!

[@Aslyth]

Or Solasta 2 when it releases

[@ProJaredPlays]

I played the first one with friends! Maybe we'll do the second one!

[@ezequielali9400]

@ProJaredPlays it's so much fun yay!

[@xMaGuSx888]

As someone who doesn't play DnD games, they look fun. However, the constant missing looks like it would ruin it for me.

[@JMaxPlayZ_]

if you can endure the rough, filled with missed attacks start, the game will surerly get better with party hitting more frequently

[@masteryoraerasante]

Dungeon Hack seemed funner, but it was a solo character game... Also, this one may have been better had it not been limited by the gba controls

[@frozentunadeluxe3163]

This was one of the worst games for missing in DnD. It had to be padded somehow since it was so condensed in material. They padded it with difficulty. The PC games are a better version.

[@trum853]

It's pretty typical in some of the video games for the devs to add artificial difficulty by lowering hit rate. It's one of those things that drops off as you level up.

[@Honeyguts88]

Yeah put your own team to sleep. Yeesss

[@alancalvillo6756]

talk about Legends of The Mummy King

[@jacethomas5562]

These sound effects are so corny, they should have used the tom and jerry screech for the random dungeon shriek

[@shreknet]

You need lips to speak the magic words.

[@Kerrpllardy]

Too bad your game keeps crashing, try blowing on the disk when you take it out. And then clean it with shaving cream.

[@SchwarzerWerwolf]

At this point id say maybe drop the game.

[@jeffreybasker5810]

The sound effects are so bad. Super bad. The bonk sound in particular.

[@dollenrm]

Lmao this game is just awful. As awful as the version of d&d its based on

[@healwarden]

D&December a ProJerd plays tradition! I’m glad it’s happening even if it’s not intended.
