does anyone know what a cleric/bard/druid/fighter etc would be address as once they reach a certain level? like a cleric would be sister/brother at level 1-5 maybe and 6-10 would be mother/father? ❔❓🤔
Hey Rhys, I'm sorry to disagree with you, but I would never play the Oath of The Crown because of the substandard protection powers and the aura doesn't increase from 5 feet(except for Vengeance, all the others do)!! BTW, since Tasha's came out, maybe you could re-do all these videos for all the classes because some of the subclasses in that book are absolutely bonkers good!!
My favourite underrated spell is reverse gravity, combine that with a sphere shaped prismatic wall directly above your targets and you'll have all of them falling through every wall then taking damage from each one
4:00 I've been thinking of playing a character who only speaks sign language. I would of course have to talk to the DM to make sure there is a character in the party who speaks sign language. Or even exchange my languages for being allowed to teach sign languages to other PCs. But I am not unfomfortable with RPing, the reason I would is to force me not to be the face of the party which I often default to otherwise.
Nothing makes you feel better as a grave cleric than preventing a tpk by bonus action "spare the dying" one downed ally and casting "cure wounds" on another
Gotta give you props for giving the Grave Domain cleric all the love!! Circle Of Mortality, Path To The Grave and Sentinel At Death's Door are ALL killer abilities!! Eyes Of The Grave(essentially the paladin's Divine Sense) kinda meh!! I'm playing a Hill Dwarf Grave Domain cleric in an upcoming campaign, and I'm so stoked to play it!!!!!
Hey Rhys, one thing about the Trickery domain you glaringly omitted is that the Invoke Duplicity not only creates FOUR duplicates at 17th level, but it also requires your concentration(as if you're concentrating on a spell)!! Therefore, if you take damage and fail the concentration check OR you try to cast another concentration spell, you lose the duplicate!!!!! Not exactly the best use of action economy, if you ask me!!
Hey Rhys, I would have no problem playing a Gloom Stalker ranger even as a variant human, because I could live with just two levels of no Darkvision!! Also, did you do a video about the new optional ranger features in Tasha's Cauldron Of Everything yet? There are also new Beastmaster companion options there too!!
Im playing a half orc lore bard. With her race she gets intimation As a proficiency Just for being a half ork. I gave her the Is entertainer background. Because she was raised in a circus. But it also gives her a proficiency in performance and acrobatics. Then I choose three proficiencies. I gave her a persuasion, Deception, and stealth. I allocated most of my points to charisma and dex. And let the racial stats bolster my strength and constitution. I put expertise into performance and persuasion At third level. Chose college of lore at fourth level. Got to choose another three skills to be proficient in. Which for that I chose slide of hand survival in perception. With this build. I'm proficient in half of the skills on the character sheet. All the charima skills all the dexterity skills and a few i thought to be useful at level 3. And I get the flavor of being a half ork bard. It feels busted but my dm allowed it.
I'm a Twilight Domain Cleric in one compaign and I was chosen to be the Cleric in a new campaign and was interested in what other domains to choose from. I read all of them and liked Life, Grave, Arcana, and Peace. I was leaning more towards Arcana for the extra cantrips, but maybe Grave is the way to go? I don't know!
Because their real power is behind their lair and their coven, hence why Nigh Hags main offensive options come from either picking off infants or people in their dreams
I made my owl fursona to possibly double as a dnd/pathfinder character and I have him mute in canon but as a middle ground, he has a pet slime familiar who he can speak telepathically through when they're in physical contact with
Sheesh. Homebrewing Resilient Sphere to rank it higher? That's a big ol' oof. Looks like I won't be watching all of the newer videos uploaded within the last 1 year and 8 months.
Idea - use two-weapon fighting. With the lower attack chance because you can't use Reckless Attack, having an additional attack increases your accuracy and the number of creatures you can hit. Ancestral Protectors applies to every enemy you hit in a round, so it increases damage at the same time as damage mitigation. Combo that with the Mark optional rule and the Sentinel feat, and you can shut off up to 3 creatures every round
I like my Gnolls are just like the Reavers from Firefly. "..., they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing. And, if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it in that order."
More rules equals slower and slower game, period. More rules equals people get tired waiting for their turn while some other 6th level player takes 20 minutes for his turn. The problem with 5e isn't too little rules, it is too many. 3000 pages of core rules and expansion rules. End of story.
I have literally had an entire party of murder hobos all at the same time.. what a treat that was. They were all quite upset when I ended that campaign early.
It's neither necessary nor useless. It can be useful, but it's not required for play. Alignment is both flexible and capable of nuance. But neither does it completely define the character. Using alignment proper can help enhance your character should you so desire it. But it is not needed for good roleplay.
I'm glad I watched this. I'm playing a ranger who just got to level 3 so this was helpful for me to learn all of the archetypes and what they do. I think that Gloom Stalker sounds like a ton of fun to play and am probably going to choose it
Try This: War Mage To Level 2 For Its Tactical Wit (Int + On Initive Roll)... Then Take Ranger (Gloom Stalker) To Level 3, Then Take Bladesinger To 15 Levels & Take The ALERT & Warcaster Feats... Tactical Wit + ALERT = U Go 1st...
One I made was a insane bard that believes he is helping the party but actually hurting them, eventually tries to get back at the party for kicking him out (was never a member of the party but believed he was) attempts to “help” the enemy only to hinder them instead
in a friends campeign i geve the class a try..i was a warforged artificer (battle smith) . my steel defender took the form of a clockwork beast big enough for me to ride. my only real issue with the class is it limits the amount of magic items you can have in existence...because my goal was to be a taveling merchant and sell these magic items and supply my party with gold...as well as establish trade connections as a means of relaying information and gaining status.
It's a bit of a bigger leap but here's my suggestion: use alternate rest rules. If people aren't getting 100% HP and all abilities/spell reset every single day, then everything starts to matter more. Losing a minor amount of HP to a skirmish with some pathetic Goblins actually MATTERS if you can't recover that HP easily.
Sticky fingers - I'd always assumed that certain types of items in fantasy worlds would be being made only on commission, and thus would not usually available to be stolen from shops. Eg, for high-quality armor, the armorer would be working to someone's specific measurements and getting it delivered to its buyer when it's done, and I'd assumed it would much the same deal for items like magic armors or clothing, magic weapons, or basically anything that would 1) be tailored to a specific person's body or magic or 2) be rare enough that only a few potential buyers even exist. More common/less tailored items like some extra rope or possibly even some low-level potions might be available for characters that are dead-set on stealing though. Naturally, the more money a shop brings in with its merchandise, the better security it tends to have.
I Take 2 Levels Of Twilight Cleric, For Eyes Of The Night (300ft Of Darkvision) & Twilight Sanctuary (30ft Of Low Light & Healing), I Then Take 18 Levels Of Either Mage For (Bladesinger) OR Rogue For (Assassin or Arcane Trickster)...
Murder hobo. Have their mother show up and start yelling at them and putting them in their place. Have her yell bed wetting stories and other embarrassing stuff.
