Let's Make a Character Together! │ D&December 

Wait wait wait. A character named Yewtübcahment has high Wisdom, Charisma, and Intelligence and isn't Chaotic Evil?

Yewtübcahment is definitely short tempered. His biggest weakness is his irrationality.

forgot the most important thing. DON'T WRITE IN PEN ON THE CHARACTER SHEET.

Yewtubcahment's Flaw: "I am incredibly nitpicky, and will start huge unnecessary arguments with strangers about the smallest thing, providing very little actual evidence for my argument."

Is it weird to say I'd be overjoyed to see that Jared opens a third channel for Dungeons and Dragons videos like this all year round?

A more accurate character based on RU-vid Comments would be a bard with 3 charisma.

Yewtubcahment's flaws include horrible grammar, the tendency to argue with everyone around him, and refusal to admit he is wrong.

Name: Abserd Race: Human Class: ALL OF THEM!

How can I love D&December so much and have played so little actual D&D?

My friends and I have our own edition that we made. Its called, "DnD Beyond Basic." It's pretty much nothing but homebrew stuff, and was made because we couldn't afford an actual handbook, charactersheets, etc.

I can imagine the dialogue coming from this dude. "What the hell are ye doing near me tree?! Ye're botherin' Chippers! "Who's Chippers?!" Is yer heed as pointy as yer ears ye elven ponce?! Of course I'm talkin' to the squirrels! They're better conversation then you!"

As I tell my friends during D&D, don't be afraid if your character isn't a minmaxed powerhouse. Instead I encourage them to have a few flaws on purpose and draw attention to it. "A good character is one with little weaknesses. A great character is one who makes them strengths."

I really want to play D&D now, it merges 2 of my favourite things; the world of fantasy and storytelling. Problem is I've never known anyone who has even mentioned it, let alone wanted to play it.

Yewtubcahment was born to the clan chief of the Loc-Nar mountain dwarves. It was believed that he would be a great warrior and Chieftain much like his father. Destiny would've granted him such fortune if only Yewtubcahment wasn't born a frail and sickly dwarven child. Shame followed the Chieftain around like a dark shroud as he made every attempt to hide his child. Despite being his first-born, the Chieftain made the only choice available to him in order to maintain his place among the Loc-Nar dwarves. Traveling above ground the Chieftain secretly carried his child. Finding what was sure to be a game path, the Chieftain placed his first-born in the middle of the path. If the Chieftain had any regrets, they disappeared when a meek cough escaped the child's throat. Turning quickly, the Chieftain returned to his mountain kingdom to tell his people of how his child was claimed in birth, but fought bravely as his birthing cords strangled him. However, fortune would smile on Yewtubcahment as he was found by a tribe of Sprites. An ancient tribe, they fondly remembered the days when dwarves and the fey were friends and even allies along with the elves when the forests and hills intertwined with one another. Of course, this was before the dwarves sought to conquer the mountains and destroyed many a forest to build their many mines. The tribe queen had thoughts of malice in her heart as the loss of many ancient forests angered her still. However, with a smile and a laugh, the Sprite Queen's furious resolve softened quickly. She then ordered her subjects to carry this dwarven babe into the forest to their domain. They would teach this dwarf the ways of the forest, it's animals, it's woods, and it's residents. If they can't use Yewtubcahment as a medium to quell the greed of the dwarves, then they would use him as the first of many.

Youtucommen should be prone to anger and very defensive when someone challenges him.

Him- " And the 9 gives us a -1, which isn't very good" *looks down at my 4* Me- Yeah I guess -3 isn't very good either....

This is an excellent tutorial for character creation, great work Jared! But I'm calling bullshit on that alignment, there is NO WAY Yewtübcahment is Neutral Good!

One of my favorite things about D&D ability scores is how Int and Wis seem so similar at first, until you hear one of my favorite phrases, "High Int, low Wis is a college graduate who invests in Bitcoin." Then it all makes sense.

Why a dwarf? We all know Yewtubecahment's a troll.

I still come back and watch these to brush up my d&d skills.

I made an Improvised Weapon Monk. Fear the vorpal mop.

I love D&december so much. The only problem is that i have never played D&D

This video made me remember that recently I and some friends of mine decided to play Pathfinder, actually well... I convinced them because it bought an introductive set and had no chance to use it for a year. So, we decided to create the characters, and I helped them as I wanted to be DM, the problem was that we decided where there scores would go before rolling the dices. Result? A Dwarven mage with 18 strength (which, according to the manual means that he can break wood bare handed, he's basically the player character from Minecraft) , an half halfling half half elf (may have to take the fault for that combination, she wanted an hall elf and the character was particularly short, so we had to think something, figuring out a background for that character is going to be fun) thief with 17 constitution, and a half elf thief with a 15 in strength. None of the characters have a good charisma (the highest being 13) but both thieves have a 19 in dexterity and the two mages (the dwarf and a human) both have good intelligence scores, so maybe in the end it's didn't go that bad. Although the alignments are all over the place, with the dwarf legal-neutral, the strong thief chaotic-neutral, the other thief true neutral and the human mage, that also wants to become a bard (probably going to switch that around) being legal-evil. Looks like they campaign will be fun.

This came out at such perfect timing. Just yesterday some of my friends and I decided to star playing D&D and I didn't know where to start for creating my character. Thanks so much!

Hey Jared, here's idea for a video on D&December (or just a video in general, really). How about talking about that Dungeons And Dragons movie from the year 2000? Yes, there is a D&D movie, and yes, it's terrible.

It's like watching Spoony talk about DnD, except ProJared doesn't hate each and every one of us.

7:36 Wait.. strength saving throw should be MINUS 1, not plus 1, right..?

It's been 3 years, and I still wanna see Yewtubcahment in action.

FUCK YEAH I WAS WAITING ALL YEAR FOR THIS

Hey Jared, just wanted to say thanks for the encouragement with D&D! I'm about to DM my first game and got five of my friends to play for the first time. Love DnDecember!

a flaw for however you spell his name can be he likes to say "first" a lot

"...good, evil, chaotic, waffle...", probably my favorite time mishearing anything, can't wait to create an evil waffle knight traveling the land laying waste to pancake houses.

7:36 strength save should've been -1 right? edit: nitpicking aside; i liked the video overall. i actually liked that it was barely edited and you were stumbling over words a bit instead of just re-doing and using a better take. it felt more 1-on-1 like you were actually guiding someone through making a character in real time.

This is a pretty decent explanation! One thing I'll note is that you don't have to buy your weapons and armour in the beginning, as your class will give you a choice of some preliminary weapons. There are also subraces that can be considered which give an extra bonus to your abilities, as well as help build your character backstory a bit more. (for example, there is the Mountain Dwarf as well as the Hill dwarf to choose from among others). Hope that helps!

The biggest twist should be that Yewtübcahment can speak beaver.

So, I just found this a few days ago and decided to finally remake the 3.5e character I had in my only experience with D&D so far with. Even with the fact that 5e is so much easier to work with than, though, I can honestly say it most likely would have taken a lot more time and potential frustration for me to finish without your video. Plus, it's just really kinda fun to listen to you break down each part of the process and explain it in the way you do. So, uh, thank you for making this! The journey of the Walladin shall continue!

sounds like Hagrid's cousin.

Good to see D&December make a return.

Jared I just want to say I love your D&December. As a fan of D&D I just love watching it but more importantly I use your videos as a good learning tool for any new players I have. You explain everything just so well and clear. Appreciate it, and keep up the good work!

I greatly appreciate how in you presentation you are encouraging the player to THINK about aspects of the character for story and role-play purpose. Not just doing a min-max best build for the class. THANK YOU!

at 3:17 .... you know druids can totally live in the mountains, dunes, oceans, plains, swamps, and other natural locations, not just forests? A dwarven mountain druid sounds sweet!

First video: How my favorite character dies. Second video: How to make a new character. Coincidence??? I think not.

I love that way your face lights up when you get an idea flowing, shows me you really have a passion for DnD and makes me want to really get into it.

Wait, serious question, how do you know what the modifiers need to be? I don't get it... For the stats at the beginning, where you had a -1 modifier in strength etc.

December is the best month for Projared

My favorite D&D game is Knights of the Old Republic 2.

You inspired me and my friends to start playing DnD and we have had so much fun every time we get together that I just have to say thanks. :)

I just recently started playing and have eventual goals of being a DM. This was so incredibly helpful and I'm mad it took me this long to check out your channel/this vid. Thank you so much for breaking it down like this, it is so very appreciated and I intend to refer everyone I know interested in the game back to this, because holy shit, this is so nice.

D&Dcember is my favorite time of year.

Really loving your D&D content, I watched last D&December too. Wish you could make D&D a regular part of the channel, I think you would easily be the best channel covering the game.

god this intro makes me so nostalgic. i love this series so, so goddamn much

Jared should gather tge Normal Boots squad and play some D&D. But like, with costumes and everyone actually being there.

The only thing I love more than D&December is animals.

as a DM, the biggest problem i always saw was people making characters that were typical. it was the atypical characters that always stood out the most and showed the most personality. a dwarven druid would fit the atypical mold. my favorite was always the half-orc sorcerer. it's that flaw in the character that allows for a lot more character building.

This really helped me refine the character I'm writing for an upcoming campaign to make him a lot more interesting and dynamic. Thanks for all the pointers!

this is really helpful! I couldnt find anywhere online with an actual step-by-step guide that helped much. All of them assumed you know everything about everything. Thank you!

This is great for new players. Thank you Jared

This was so helpful, I'm about to be in my first legit D&D game and need a loooooot of help xD

Love the background music throughout the video! Reminds me of the days when I played Dungeons & Dragons Online.

Jared, WHAT A WONDERFUL VIDEO. I was watching and wishing it would've never end. Or better yet, it would transition to a campaign at the end.

I love December

I did the dice thing where u roll 4 d6. It was months ago so I don’t remember everything but what I do know is that I ended up with 6 in stealth and 5 in persuasion

This is perhaps the main reason I look forward to D&December even more than other ProJared videos: Jared just seems so happy when he talks about this stuff. It really gets you into the Holiday Spirit.

Been wanting to get a D&D group together for awhile, and this has reignited that desire. I love how much creativity is involved with it and it's not just a numbers game.

Jared, I don't think I'm ready for this level of commitment yet :v

Confession... I asked my group if I could DM without knowing how to write up a character without help, so thanks for the helpful video!

Thanks man, long time viewer and RPG'er, havn't played D&D before really outside of the old dragons quest box set when I was younger and thats more of board game. Im used to more heavy systems and have recently picked up the Players handbook and Dungeon Master guied. This video really helped me pick up on a few mistakes id made drumming up my PC CC.

Jared, you are the main reason I want to try Dungeons & Dragons and this video is so helpful; love your D&December videos so much, man.

J-Jared... You didn't choose a Dwarven subrace... Unless you did it later... but why...

Chaotic =/= selfish. Chaotic characters are just unorthodox and unruly.

In the span of only a single video and several days, RU-vid Comment changed alignment from chaotic evil to lawful good.

So glad there's a RU-vidr out that I can point to when it comes to making 5th DnD character. Keep up the awesome work ProJared!!

I feel like just from the nature of this character's name one of his main flaws would be the fact that he's constantly wrong about almost everything.

Funny thing is irl studded leather armor would not be so good for outdoorsy stuff

Thank you so much for making this video! It was super helpful.

I've been watching Dice Camera Action, and I got into DnD because of it, but I had no idea what I was doing. This helped so much! Thank you!

Javelins actually use Strength, not Dexterity, so Yewtübcahment would have a hard time hitting and dealing damage.

I'm sure I'm not the first to ask, but maybe a D&December video sometime on the Saturday morning cartoon? I'd even be happy with a video about what does and doesn't work about it like the Zelda 2 video, instead of just one ripping it a new one.

I love d&dcember, Jared. Please continue this tradition :D

Out of all the character sheet videos this one was the most helpful.

Javelins actually are not a dexterity weapon, they are strength only.

my first d&d character was a gnome chef who came from a cult of chefs who worshiped the god of agriculture/food in a snowy mountontop temple. later in out campaign he was lit on fire and used as a flail against some pirates.... he survived though. his name... WARRYN RAULNOR!!!!!

Thanks ProJared! This video was so helpful to help me make my fist dungeons and dragons character. I would also like to thank you for introducing me to this universe. I have so much fun with my friends whenever we quest together, all thanks to you! I hope you see this. Big fan of you. #d&d forever :D

Thank you! You made this so easy to understand! I just started playing again after 10 years and I really needed a reminder.

Could you do a full d and d tutorial

Okay Jared, I have to ask: Can we have a video about either: A) How to be a good DM? OR B) A video about Campaing Derailing Items (like the Deck of Many Things"? PLease? Pretty Please?

I love those book shelves with the bottles and metal works. Nice!

By far the MOST HELPFUL VIDEO I have ever seen

jared please can you play a game of D&D with some of your friends and using the character that you make in this video

I've been making characters for as long as I could remember, but sometimes I just forgot how to do a single thing, but gladly this video helped.

Getting hyped for this year's D&December!

This was very well done and couldn't have come at a better time Jared. I will soon be making a wood elf monk in my first ever D&D 5e game (I have played since 3rd edition but have yet to play 5th) and this was very insightful.

Can you do a video of making a homebrew class or race

Isn't the Javelin suppose to use your strength modifier for attack rolls because it is a melee weapon and not a finesse weapon?

Jared is, without a doubt, the kind of player every GM wants in their group.

Thanks for the educational video Jared! Some friends and I are getting ready to play D&D for the first time; this was super helpful! I'd love to see some DM tips on storytelling/creating engaging situations for the player! x

3:11 Sounds like Pikel Bouldershoulder. "Doodad! Hee hee!" #BoulderShoulderBros

Jared I think you messed up the STR saving throw, maybe I'm wrong but that's supposed to be a -1 right?

I was watching this with the auto subtitles on, and , the auto forming subtitles don't have the word "Dwarven" programmed in them. It kept coming up with words like "doorman" which was really funny to watch. Thanks projared for these videos, I love D&D, and making characters is one of my favourite things to do.

Jared, your videos make me a better DM. Thanks for doing D&December once again!
