Holy shit, I love the format! 🐊

but i will put a dhampir instead of a warforge and make the con stat way more useful, the only 3 levels into totem bearbarian and cast wish for a upcast minor elementals , also I will choose Eldritch Adept>then Eldritch Invocation / Pact of the Tome /armor of agathist and eldritch blast with int

[@FoxTheSniper7]

I typically use Wild Magic Barbarian when comboing with wizard. WIld Magic Barbarian can restore your spell slots! This combined with Bladesinger or Abjuration Wizard allows the two classes to work more in tandem with one another.

[@XP_Goblin]

That's a great combination! I was looking at DPR, but that synergizes way more

[@Slowmint-xs1fq]

Random Idea I just had: does the Abjuration Wizard's lvl. 3 Feature count as Temporary Hitpoints? Bc I'm fairly shure they don't. That means you could stack the Arcane Ward with Polymorph's Temp HP

[@bananabanana484]

@@Slowmint-xs1fqThey don’t! It’s a separate entity with its own HP!

[@Slowmint-xs1fq]

@@bananabanana484 yes, but usually temp hp doesn't stack, but you could put up the arcane ward and once its used up, still have your temp hp available, right?

[@ardynizunia9709]

​@@Slowmint-xs1fq They meant that they don't count as temp hp. They understood you and agreed that they would stack ^^'

[@coreyburton8]

Great Voice, and enjoyable short videos! perfect combo- this channel will blow up!

[@XP_Goblin]

Thank you! I'm trying lol

[@bananabanana484]

I love the idea of a barbarian who meditates to connect with nature spirits to gain power

[@mikegilkey]

Use the feat runeshaper for armor of aguthys. Only requires a feat and no need to dip into warlock.

[@ambrosedystopian1542]

Reminds me of the fury road build. I just started designing. Barbarian with armor of agathas artificer with healing Cannon. Giving you temporary HP. A barbarian artificer would totally be like somebody for the mad Max universe. And your infusions are always available when you're raging.

[@HamsterSqueeky]

Im loving this channel. It pleases my iner power builder

[@JikuAraiguma]

I did this once. Beast barb and Div wiz. The secret sauce is not taking any concentration spells.

[@1337RobinG]

Well temp hp usually is assumed to run out if the spell has a duration thats probably the intended behaviour behind polymorph - i doubt many DMs would let you keep the temp hp

[@XP_Goblin]

Intended, probably. With the new wording in the rules for temp hp they completely removed the mention of Temp HP having a duration. Only that it ends on a long rest of if they are all used

[@hawkname1234]

@@XP_Goblin Why make your DM miserable by bringing this technicality loophole BS to them and trying to break the game they've worked so hard to provide for the players? This isn't even optimization. This seems like incredibly toxic behavior-to say nothing of a selfish-to-the-point-of-mean-spirited thing to do to your friend who is DMing.

[@justsomeguy9555]

Personally, fan of the Emerald Gem Dragonborn Totem Barbarian & Divination Wizard with a spell list that's not attribute dependent (Long Strider, Sleep, Absorb Elements, Feather Fall...) Basically meant to absorb any kind of punishment, with some out-of-the-box flavor abilities.

[@IsaacScharp]

Concentration is very clear. If you loose concentration the effects of the spell end, full stop. Do not pass go, do not collect extra duration. Literally just read Concentration and it debunks this whole thing.

[@bananabanana484]

For 2014, you can still combo Polymorph and Armor of Agathys. Now you have your HP, Armor of Agathys, and then your Ward. It’s not as synergized as the new Polymorph and Agathys, and you need a Glyph of Warding, but it’s still pretty darn strong

[@josephwilliams1915]

Haven't watched the whole video, but bladesinger barbs are amazing. Spell slots just become a way to absorb more damage.

[@zexed4475]

Somone who's able to do a wizard barbarian? this going to send me into a...frenzy

[@Merilirem]

My fave is the Necromancer barbarians. Its a rather high level multiclass since animate dead requires 5 wizard levels to get, meaning 6 before you can even be it minimum and more like 7+. However raging while having an army of undead following you is just so cool. Animate dead doesn't require concentration or anything after all.

[@XP_Goblin]

The barbarian kills his foes, then raises them from the dead to serve him. AWESOME

[@moonmoon4537]

Barbarians make the coolest multiclasses for RP

Really enjoying your videos, good job!

[@XP_Goblin]

Thank you! I hope my current videos are to your liking

[@researcherchameleon4602]

I thought about how a wizard fighter multiclass can allow you to use multi attack, which means you can cast 2 spells per round, which makes true strike not bad anymore, because you can now cast 3 spells at advantage before it ends

[@sergeantskittles5579]

Commenting to show I was here in the early days. This channel is gonna be huge, keep up the awesome content bro!

[@XP_Goblin]

Thanks man! I'm trying to put out interesting content

[@cvbnm3094]

Fun stuff! Found you through your shorts firstly, and it made me wonder if you might have any plans to make a video going over common 'misconceptions' or 'selective reading' of rules/abilities. I notice a lot of dnd short channels go over the same 3 or 5 'crazy broken builds that will make your DM hate you' that all require you to ignore physics up until it specifically helps you.

[@XP_Goblin]

That's a good idea. Any you'd like me to cover specifically?

[@cvbnm3094]

@@XP_Goblin Hmm funnily enough your most recent short went over one, the idea that moving something long distances means it should deal whatever insane amount of damage. If I were to suggest what I feel like I see the most with some easy examples. Assuming or outright making up damage numbers for things like heavy weights falling on people (I summon a bear that weighs 2 tons over your head, realistically you would be dead!) as well as extrapolating singular examples (A falling roof trap deals 4d10 damage, and googling the weight of an average wooden roof, its 10 square feet in here so thats 150 pounds. I summon 2 750 pound elks above the enemy for 40d10 damage) or any more ridiculous version's. This also goes over the peasants railgun, assuming the speed an object is moving towards you should add to damage. Adding in real world physics exclusively when it matters. (Control water specifies it moves the water instantly, thusly I can create a vacuum bomb in an enclosed container, or deep enough under water, or have two casters hold their action to move water over you, then instantly move it off) And the lowest of hanging fruits, assuming spells just 'work' in whatever way on people/creatures with no save. (I cast light on his retinas, a helmet WOULD work, but I personally wouldn't let it blind) (I use mold earth to move 5 feet of earth from under their feet and onto their head) (I use minor illusion to make a lion roar directly INSIDE their ear) and any number of spells that create something and have a range, attempting to summon/conjure them in orifices or just outright inside people. Lastly I can think of a few that are just lazy, rather its outright cheating, ignoring rules completely, or taking wild leaps in logic. (I dimension door whilst holding onto the enemies armor, bag, flesh, weapon, pants, because I consider them items and the spell says nothing about items worn, I teleport them with me!) (I point my finger upwards at them whilst casting eldritch blast with the movement thing, sending them 10-20-30 feet in the air!) (I cast creation, precious metal is the closest thing, so we through this cube of unstable uranium/plutonium/francium into the river!)

[@AristasTheMonsterHunter]

Or you could just convince the DM that a magic item that allows the user to cast and hold concentration while raging is fair and balanced

[@markturner1220]

Of course it will only work until the first errata.

[@mmaaoorr]

Great video but no way polymorph works like that. Since if it did you could just polymorph, stop concertrating normally and get 157 Temp HP as a normal wizard. It would probably get rid of the temp HP when you de-polymorph

[@XP_Goblin]

That's how it SHOULD work, but RAW it's not...somehow

[@theawkwardpotato1973]

This is gonna get errata’d if it doesn’t change before release

[@IsaacScharp]

@@XP_Goblin Nope, raw when you lose concentration you lose the effects. All of them.

Don't say that word again, please, it sounds like a slur

[@Edragon_Ghostmage]

I feel like 5e is much more balanced... and fun. I told my players if they want to use a feature from the 2024 PHB they probably can but to clear it with the group cause we overall are skeptical so far, though none of them have been particularly interested so far. There's only one copy of the PHB between us and they feel like the rules don't work quite as well. I think it's probably because of the fact one dnd is more of a holdover until 6e so it wasn't play tested very much. I don't know. Maybe wer're just being judgy, but it seems like it's missing a lot of playtesting and didn't fix a lot of the most broken things in 5e, "fixed" things that mostly didn't need it, and nerfed things that we enjoyed being powerful and weren't overpowered. Anyway, super over powered builds are fun and all, but I feel like this is pretty meh as they go. I also encourage collective rule breaking, and use enlarge/reduce as it occurred in older editions (double damage dice for each size increase above medium for physical attacks, maces, swords, bows, etc) because it strongly encourages cooperation and allows for epic, powerful moments from the entire party. Which I enjoy watching more as a dm, and it's easier for me cause everyone else enjoys it more rather than just one person making it easier for me to make sure everyone has fun.

@@XP_Goblin yeyyy

[@taboo3689]

Polymorph temp hp clearly goes away after an hour or until the spell ends because you gain the hp of the beast form you are polymorphing to and losing your beast form would take away all the temp hp. The temp hp and and other conditions on the bottom of the spell last as long as they are transformed into a beast. You also have to concentrate on polymorph.

[@Damianweibler]

Which is why the new wording is idiotic

[@אלחנןזייבלד]

you can't have temp HP from multiple sources

[@themmojunkie8280]

True, but when gaining temp hit points if already have some, u can replace or keep the original amount you have, so when AoA is cast on self he gets the "ice shield" with the 100+ temp he already had, but the cold damage will still be the original amount, 5xLevel

[@darkestrose9989]

​@@themmojunkie8280 to be incredibly honest that would depend on the dm, id suggest casting armor of agathys first to avoid "replacing" that massive amount of temp hp

[@XP_Goblin]

The rules say you can choose which you keep, so I'd say cast AoA after that way there could be no argument of "oh well you lost the hp when you chose the new"

[@X20Adam]

People saw a slight wording change in some spells and Ran with it to the freaking Sun. Temp hp doesn't stack, and it's pretty reasonable to say that getting temp hp from a new source removes the old temp hp(because it literally does) and these combos just dont work. Think about it: How do you change the temp hp you have to new temp hp? You erase it and write in the new value(or delete and type it it w/e) Just seems like a leap thay they'd actively change these things to work like this when they used to explicitly not. I'm willing to eat my words on thos if they come out and say this was intentional, but I'm not budging on this till then, and even then, its kind of a hard sell.

[@XP_Goblin]

Oh I know it doesn't stack. When you have an option for multiple sources of Temp HP you choose which one you keep, so obviously keep the 157 one. In terms of intentional or not, I have no idea, but it works RAW and they even removed the wording in temp hp rules that mention temp hp can have a duration. Now only saying it's gone when it's used or long rest. So idk if they intended it but kinda seems like it.

[@hawkname1234]

Nah man. If any player tried to tell me that they keep the temp hp of their polymorphed form after the left their polymorphed form, I would probably throw them out of my game. That's not min-maxing, that's a toxic, bad-faith, selfish player who is going to make you miserable, and probably the other players, too. Throw them out ASAP and save yourself the brain damage.

[@XP_Goblin]

Well. It's RAW sooo
