Dragonbane // Kin Tier List (Rulebook Only) 

YES!! More Dragonbane content, please!

Putting dwarf above human is absolute insanity. Humans are only ever 3wp from having their best skill be the skill used for ANY task.

Glad to see some Dragonbane content!

Adaptive has proven very useful for my Human Fighter in Forbidden Lands. I use it a lot in saves rolls, choosing to save with my fighting skill, my highest

Yeah, make some more Dragonbane videos. It’s been a while since I read through the Forbidden Lands rulebooks so I didn’t realize how much Free League lifted wholesale out of that game and shoved into this one.

I spent my weekend reading over Vagabond and Dragonbane, so it’s cool seeing your takes on Dragonbane!

Moooooar Dragonbane please!

Dwarves biggest issue is kinda the whole maths of the game's combat. In a game where nearly every single hit can take out more than half your HP, only ever being able to activate your Kin Ability against a target that has already hit you is just not good. Like, at all. Against groups of enemies you'd need to take multiple hits to get this boost against more than one target and against a single big creature you reeeeeaally want to avoid taking any hits in the first place since they're sooo much deadlier. The Dwarves kinda got shafted tbh, it's a D-tier ability that's only really usable if you have crazy amounts of armor and are facing mooks. I do think you're underestimating the human ability. It's a bit on the "mother may i" side of things but overall it's pretty reliable way to just be better at almost literally everything. Want to intimidate a person but have a 5 in persuasion? Roll against your 16 in Axes instead as you subtly adjust your cloak and flash your weapons while talking. Want to decipher some hidden meaning in a riddle about some mythic fey battle but your Myths and Legends is only a 4, good thing your Languages is a solid 13 and you're able to key in on a district word choice in the translation. A creative player can get soooooo much mileage out of this ability.

Dragon bane is my go to game. Almost done with the adventure book. A great experience in good adventure design

When homebrewing my version of Satyr people i just made an abilty based in the climbing abilty of goats in real world. So the ability goes: Skillful climbers Cost - 3 willpower Gain a boon when you roll to climb (or decent) a vertical terrain. Hope this gives some inspo out there 😊😁

I'd love to see a Bestiary follow up. My gut-feeling on reading the newer kin is that none of their abilities would be below B Tier. I feel that all if not most of them are better than the Dwarf Kin ability.

I love Dragonbane! More content pls!

Yes, more Dragonbane content please

Another great video. Hey, as you can only gain each condition once does this mean the Mallard can only use Ill Tempered once? More please.

Awesome!

Yay!!! Moar dragonbane

I would use unforgiving as use once for that combat not every round. Like a berserk like HA. But as written its not very good.

It's hard to express how much I disagree on elves. lol. Mallard is definitely king, followed by wolfkin. Im not saying elves are bad, but that is an out of combat feature that essentially gives you another use of some other ability, and a bit of healing. I can see if gaining utility as you level up and have more options for using WP, but even then it's hard to beat the WP economy of a Wolfkin for damage & tanking monsters, or the utility of the mallard with being able to get a boon on most rolls at will. With that, love what you do, just happen to disagree on this one.

Hey Indestructaboy: how do you view the mechanic that monsters hit you automatically? This rules is really what rebuffs me from wanting to play this game 😢

Elves are powerful in a selfish way, which is thematic. I like games with a risk of your rest being interrupted. Sure wish the elf was awake to help us fight these goblins that found us.
