4 Warriors VS 1 Wizard | Final Fight | Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves | CLIP 

Perhaps a 3/10 because it utterly spoils the ending of the movie for those who haven't seen it. Well done ahole.

Natural 20.

Definitely a 20+++ This was a very good movie, hope they make more.

Natural 1.

10 is best? - then, after careful and just consideration...I'd give it...0. I pity the actors, though. I mean, imagine all the training, the hopes...one day you're gonna have this role...this difficult character...lots going on...and you make it shine! And then you end up in something like this.

Accurate unlike the scorching ray.

Should’ve used magic missle 😂

I'm loling at when the druid slingshots garlic

@@Zellig It was the only option available, there weren't any small enough potatoes

I think he did@@Salmon_Toastie it looks like he cast it at the start of that attack but she cast shield. you can even see it stay up to take the brunt of what I assume was witch bolt or some other lightning spell of that nature.

Cicada3301 Crack Luzifer’s Matrix！ The game entertainment appears a large number of dinosa*rs with wings, huge Creatures : all of which indicate a certain race that likes to invade other stars,It's D*？ -allies of humanity

In movie: 12 seconds of awesome sauce In table: 42 minutes of rolls

They even got the detail right where the Bard, being the only member of the party who doesn't have an extra attack/twinned spell decides to instead run around the map wasting their action economy doing meaningless "I'm helping!" tasks out of pure dice roll economic envy. But it works out anyways because of course it does, they are a Bard.

Other than lack of any magic, he played a perfect Bard. Maxed charisma, bardic inspiration and plays lute. Also at least a decent intelligence score to come up with all these plans. Good agility for running and dodging stuff. In battle useful like a typical Bard, so not much. :P

@@eiheioh2050 Ah geez, who let you out of the time cube?

Not sure why Simon didn’t just hit her with an upcast magic missile. Oh you can make a DC 10 con save? Have fun making 8.

​@@cupcakewithatophat1131 Because she would definitely have a shield.

Wouldn't Garlic count as ammunition for the Sling which usually deals 1d4+dex damage?

@@YAH93 Depends on the DM's ruling. The official description for the slingshot doesn't actually lay out what counts as ammunition other than a "small, hard object." A more hardass DM would probably claim something like only rocks or purchased ammunition counts, but I feel like most DM's would rule in favor of something like a head of garlic being viable ammunition. Might scale down the damage though since it's not a conventional projectile

That was definitely a little bag of pepper flakes or something spicy, and I would rule that getting spice in your eyes would give disadvantage on that concentration check

My thoughts went to the Hulk slamming Loki around.

@@tempestates13 Me too...what killed me was the initial pause, followed by the more frenzied pummeling. 😆

Me too!!! I was howling!!!!

@@tempestates13 "Puny wizard"

@@jason11279 Beat me to it!

at 1:53 *turn skip* *turn skip*

The part where the druid shot at the witch was definitely a concentration break lmao

I don't recognize spells though.

@@SwordWieldingDuck Animate Objects, Misty Step, Otiluke’s Resilient Sphere, Bigby’s Hand, etc.

In the big brawl at the end it seems like she is casting Gust of Wind to push people away. She uses Telekinesis on the axe. The sorcerer throws out some Ray of Frost shots, Scorching Ray, Lightning Bolt, and they are all missed or she counters with a Shield spell. Obviously she uses Time Stop, and the sorc also uses Counterspell.@@SwordWieldingDuck I really like that she uses high level spells like Resilient Sphere, Animate Objects, and of course Time Stop, while the sorcerer guy sticks to lower level stuff for the most part like Scorching Ray and Counterspell. His highest level spell was 5th and of course she cast a 9th level spell. Oh yeah before this fight she definitely cast Meteor Swarm. I don't know where she got two 9th level spell slots from.

ACKCHUALLY, It's not a Watery Sphere, because those automatically float. It's Otiluke's Resilient Sphere. Listen to the sound the bubble makes when it's rolling: a glass sphere.

You forgot the successful Performance roll after the counter spell

Shield makes Magic Missile miss

I think at 2:42 it like scrotching ray instead of magic missle, and due to close range so it disadvantages

Y'all gonna sleep on Maximillian's earthen grasp to counter the Bigby's hand?

I know wtf who wrote this captions

. . . and 1 thief, the daughter got the kill shot on the witch with the bracelet. the fight was 5 to 1, and only 1 out of the 6 participants was a warrior class. dumb title, good fight

Warrior that uses magic is still a warrior. Sniper, marksman, artillerist and a tank crew are all considered soldiers

​@@georgeuferov1497 Good point maybe they meant in that sense, but D&D does have class called Warrior which is considered martial type so odd term use for D&D theme movie

@@georgeuferov1497 By that definition, the wizard/lich is a warrior, too, lol

there will be a TV show ;)

the writers said it would be woke. they sabotaged it. there were several more direct to dvd sequels

@@toomanyaccounts always the same shit

​@@toomanyaccounts what the fuck are you talking about?

@@toomanyaccounts I am pretty sure that's a different movie you are writing about, you bot...

He made me love this movie with his wit and perfect comedic timing Will be buying it in the future!!!

WE GET IT

@@Gnossiene369 NO, WE DON'T. I NEED SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN IT AGAIN

is it? Becasuse the bard didn't use any bard abilities here, he is just a guy carrying an instrument in this movie.

​@@ststesBecause he is a Rogue, not a bard

That's what a real turn feels like in D&D as well 😂

@YungOtaku Exactly! My group are all chaos gremlins too so it would be like that but with more craziness haha

You're lucky that was as quick as it was. In a real D&D fight that slight moment would take about 45 minutes real time. 😑 God I love this game. 😃

@DigiDestined558 😆 Yep, I have a rules lawyer in my regular group. Every time it comes to his turn, he spends about 20 minutes explaining what he wants to do and going over the rules in detail to try and outsmart the DM

She may have been defeated but Sophina was really going full Quadratic Wizard in that final fight. Such a freaking awesome villain, I hope she comes back

It was actually a Bigby's Hand vs Earthen Grasp, which makes sense consider Bigby's hand won as it's a 5th level spell against a 2nd level.

The fighter: "I got one trick and normally it's a pretty good one"

i didn't notice at 0:30 she switches to the other side of the axe for hammer damage, seems to daze the gorgoyle a bit

Where is a +3 magical weapon when you need it? XD

The long-range spell was used in melee combat, each roll was with disadvantage

@@DOneClubeither that or you keep roll shit on it, you know, like how that stupid spell work

@@DOneClubtechnically the wizard was restrained/grappled. Which means he was probably flat rolling all those

@@natekim6495 I think she's been grappled. Being "grappled" doesn't give you an advantage against her.

really missed that part, haha

i didnt even notice that

@@janbertguerrero6988 Neither did I, but watching that part in .25 speed is how you can see it.

the fact the grapple check by the druid and barb failed against a caster makes me question a lot, but hey, low rolls lol

Yeah, the Barbarian is the biggest threat on the field. They would be able to grapple the wizard with no problem and end her life real quick. She would not be able to cast spells as every time she did the axe would come down on her head to disrupt it. I did this as a barbarian to a druid boss and it was very underwhelming for the GM. Granted nowadays My Barbarian was becoming useless in combat except to take hits. As the enemies do so much damage that I am basically dead after I deliver one blow. So I had to retrain my barbarian to dish out as much damage as possible in a single attack so I can be sure to leave a mark before I drop like a sack of potatoes. Word of advice never design your character to be flexible just focus on doing one thing really well otherwise you will find yourself not measuring up to more powerful opponents.

​@@BlueGoblin1 I feel for you, I assume you aren't of a level where you could pick up relentless rage though?

Yeah I’m playing a Human Battlemaster who has the Tavern Brawler feat. And the GM played this one magic caster who overestimated their own skills & underestimated my fighter. So I did a surprise round by disarming the Wizard of their arcane focus & rolled before them on initiative and safe to say I went to town

She also, apparently, managed to quicken herself a True Strike for that single tactical stab in the heart. That one was a... Nice touch... In a way.

blunt damage: -3

@@xxWidex attack damage: +6

enemy surprised@@calebsoria1777

if you still want to start i suggest you get Baldur's Gate 3 video game.

movie name please

Ok. You dont play DND, clearly. What movie....

I'd have aimed for the head.

And he wasn’t even a Rogue.

@@MdMasudRana-uq9qlit’s in the goddamn title my guy

😂😂

El kabong!

@@Khailward Man, you really dated yourself with that one.

Have you seen Smokin' Aces? He plays a redneck anarchist and it is fucking GOLD

He appears in some skits in Robot Chicken as well.

I think Chris Pine, John Hamm, and Chris Evans are all really good at comedic acting, but because of their good looks were forced into the leading man/heart throb roles early in their careers. Channing Tatum was able to do both in his early career.

I agree, he is super funny, I really hate this character in the movie thoug :D Great actor, absolute trash character he plays

He has tons of them. Are the comments just littered with bots? Or drones? It's just DnD worshipping or utter nonsense.

"Punny red wizard..."

Then we hear just some whimpering moans from beneath the rubble

I would never expect a team up of Hugh Grant, Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez could work for this kind of movie but it did. Even the child actress was good(not annoying like so many child actors).

well why wouldn't she though? fully believing that her time stop spell worked on them she would have all the time in the world. she's the evil antagonist after all, basically contractually obligated to give a villain monologue at some point. I believe it's safe to assume that the whole purpose of her casting the time stop spell at that time was so she could give her speech ;)

All the BBEG's monologue.

@@starryeyes5860 If she time stopped everyone but the Bard, the girl in the invisibility cloak would be stopped too so she could not put the bracelet on her. No, I'm not fun at parties.

🤣😂. needed a good chuckle, thanx@@Lordborgman

@@starryeyes5860 Indeed, while I did like the movie, so much shit was played off as a joke that it didn't feel as impactful to me.

The DM always knows.. but he is not there to play against you.. he handles the Enemies so everyone can have fun.. No good DM will just make a good plan fail intentionally.. If the players come up with a cool combat move, instead of just throwing dice for damage, it's a win for everyone!

Oh, it probably went something like this. (And upon which, considering the players know she'll use this spell again considering it's been used more than once, they probably planned in advance) DM: "You watch as Sofina casts her spell to stop time itself around her. Simon, you attempt to counterspell. Roll the dice." (Simon's player gives the dice roll) DM: "As you notice the bubble of bottled time bulge towards you, its walls walking faster than you can run, Simon's hands move again. Simon. You remember the last encounter with her. You feel the weight of the spell as the bubble engulfs you, and every one of you start to feel as if the world around you is slowing to a halt. And... " (DM grins) "Your counterspell succeeded. The bubble is no more and with that kind of roll, Sofina has no idea her spell is broken. So do you guys stick to your plan?"

⁠so Simon Rolled a nat20

With so many streaming games, there's plenty of examples. Like Laura Bailey's Dust of Deliciousness she pulled on Matt Mercer. Twitch chat was going wild when that happened.

Wow nice write up of the scenario. I enjoyed reading it.@@deanpeter1234

It’s so good. She doesn’t stop to look at the bard in indignation or shock, she immediately goes into fight mode and adapts on the fly. That’s definitely what a real fight would look like.

Or it was not.

Or it was terrible....

@@jamesroquemore5439 or you're tripping balls!

My balls

Yes

Absolutely. As a boss character should.

She's probably been locked up now that she's been cut off from her magic by that cuff. They'll probably interrogate her for info on her boss, the greater scope villain she spoke to in the shadows. And DnD parties interrogate defeated NPCs all the time.

As Zee Bashew once said, regarding the Clone spell (and paraphrased): “If it was too easy to kill the necromancer, YOU DIDN’T KILL HIM.”

@@LordSiravantthey… don’t really need to do it, she’s Red Wizard :| she’s from Thay, you mostly imprisoning them so that they won’t reform at home when they die

She's a lich of some kind, so nah she can't die. Plus they don't know what/where her phylactery is. Assuming it's at the Red Wizard's headquarters. They'll probably interrogate her.

@@mihile4631 The only Lich is Szass Tam. She is more of a Necromancer Archmage.

It's a great example of a magic vs magic fight that doesn't degrade into the overused DBZ-style beam struggle

Sorcerer. He was a sorcerer. If he were a wizard he'd be carrying around a really hefty spellbook.

If he was a wizard, he would also sit on his ass most of the time trying to memorize new spells for tomorrow lol.

If only she had the sentinel feat too

Right? It's such a clear homage, but they did their own spin on it- just like your friends at the gaming table would. "I turn into my owlbear form and do the Loki Smash on her! And if she twitches even a finger I'm throwing her over a building!"

Yes, yes they do, and she roll low Insight

but due to er arrogance, she probably had disadvantage to believing she was countered.....@@justnoob8141

Also possibly performance against passive perception. Maybe even with advantage.

@@Mr_Zeniel against an arrogant b like her, definitely with advantage. No way she'd believe Simon could counter her.

well.. that's an idea! Bradley Cooper as a dwarf!

It's never too late!

why did you want to hate it?

@@SinfulContent Cuz such movies tend to be very straightforward, very cliche, run-of-the-mill stuff

Same this is the best movie in five years!!!!in USA anyway

that's still not a good explanation. wanting to hate a movie because other such movies tend to be cliche? like what??💀💀also, straight forward is not an objectively bad thing.@@FalconWindblader

@@starryeyes5860 “Straightforward, very cliche, run-of-the-mill'. learn to read FULL SENTENCES dude.

the beat up was personal the rubble was karma XD

Yeah, a 17 level wizard against four 9-12 level enemies

Until they stub their toe and lose their entire health pool, instantly exploding. Also most classes could do this with such a massive level advantage

Yup .Starting from Level 11, they are absolutely busted when it comes do damage output.

They dont have her survivability

This is what I liked about the movie. They really exemplified how a powerful wizard can solo an entire group of adventurers. They tactically decide who's the biggest threat and focus there, while keeping lesser threats "occupied" w/ other things.

@@CaptnJack High level mages do.

​@@CaptnJack Halastar Blackcloak would like to have a word. Unless you mean player characters. Then yeah, until Wizards hit level 14 or so they don't have her survivability.

She didn't look fully human to me, a lich perhaps? Would explain the durability. Normal weapons wouldn't hurt them, but claws of shapeshifter druid would qualify as magic weapon. All fine.

True! Not even being a good fighter, w the barbarian doing most of the heavy lifting, just really feels refreshing for a character, w his lute strikes being more of a distraction than doing any real damage, really exemplifies how in dnd, even 8 str or 8 whatever stats makes for a unbalanced but very interesting character.

@@zethrenbeltran4071 There's an official skillsheet for the characters and his lute does more sound damage than physical damage its hilarious

I think Chris' Pines character was a rogue, not a bard. :) If he was an actual bard, you're correct that he would have spells.

@@NS-cs3wp i always felt bards gaining natural magic spells was a bit of a stretch :p

​@@NS-cs3wp He is a bard officially

yea none of them could survive/resist a Weird spell, they'd just die on the spot.

@@keithfilibeck2390 and thats why she didnt use spells like that, these players had a good DM in their "game". Good DMs don't throw in stuff that will purposely wipe their parties with no chance at stopping them.

​@@keithfilibeck2390You've got to be joking with mentioning "Weird" as a powerful option. This spell is a disgrace that should never have been a 9-th level spell with the effects it has. Even a 5-th level would be too high for it. But Banishment, Hypnotic Pattern, Mental Prison, Phantasmal Force? Those are way better at making the characters have to deal with some good spells.

@@Fro609 haha. Yup. The DM's dirty little secret

@@Hilianus This is actually the truth. Because you get a Fortitude AND a Will save, you get two chances to resist and one of those will almost certainly be one of your strong saves. Not to mention that by the time you can cast it your enemies might well have immunities to instant death effects.

I think Simon just cast Shocking Grasp

Tbh, if the final one was Finger of Death, she wouldn't have needed to get closer. It has a range of 60 feet. But the monologue would justify that absolutely.

@@YAH93She went for the villain monologue that DM's just can't avoid.

Too bad the drama RU-vidrs basically helped bury the film with such critique before it was released.

@@zaberfang it is hard nowadays to find a film that genuinely makes you laugh. This one gave me more than a couple of good honest howling.

And in typical barbarian fashion, just ignores it and keeps fighting.

When I first saw the movie I heard that noise but didn't realize what happened until they cut to her

Henry Cavill wishes that too... No but with 40k they can't make it this slapstick. 40k humor is sarcasm, satire and dramatic irony... slapstick comedy doesn't fit that universe. At least not for the entire movie like this

@@myfaceismyshield5963 Closest thing you would get is the first Starship Trooper movie.

WH40k wasn't supposed to be taken seriously. A dark comedy satire with guys like inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clouseau, cmon.

Roll with disadvantage 😅

Barb. Bard. Druid. Sorc wild magic vs pale master.

Yep. She can totally be an undead like that assasin before.

The Red Lady is a Red Wizard of Thay, at least I'm guessing that is what they want her to be....Red Wizards of Thay are very powerful and extremely self serving....I don't think Red Qizards necessarily choose Necromancy as their preferred School of Magic as I think they usually prefer Evocation and Abjuration.....

@@TenmaStupidity that particular Red Wizard was a Lich employed by Szass Tam.
