S1E1: "Tat Tvam Asi" (Player Creation) - EpicSolo | DND | SoloRPG 

I appreciate that! We should have some more entertaining content available shortly. The “Fate Chart” also indicated that “Yes,” there will actually be some combat in Episode 3. Thanks for checking out the channel!

This is a much better explanation! Thank You for the clarification.

This is a top Top 10, maybe 5, or even 3, favorite comments on the channel of all time. 🤣

@@EpicSolo Such an honour! But I totally missed out Sorcerer from his title, so it should be "revenge driven, half-elf, sorcerer, captain" 😅🤣

lol! I found the process a tad overwhelming. I paused and restarted the video, and flipped back and forth in the rulebook so many times, my head just about spun off. Just gonna say, the dnd 5e book is like a technical manual that exploded into 1000 pieces, then was pasted back together with pieces of a fairy tale book. On the upside, OSE character creation seems pretty easy now.

If I understand correctly, dagger would have attack bonus of 3…because finesse adds dex bonus +1, and sorcerer class has proficiency in weapons allowing him to add the proficiency bonus +2.

Only as required for Eastern Philosophy studies. Another passion of mine, along with TTRPGs that inevitably seems to find its way into my games and writing. My understanding of Hinduism and Tat Tvam Asi comes from an absolutely profound experience examining the Mahavakyas as relayed in the Upanishads. When reading the Chandogya Upanishad, I distinctly remember having to put the book down, and walk away, because the subject matter was so profound, I had a physical reaction. I am by no means an expert on Hinduism. Most of my experience with eastern philosophy is via Taoism and Buddhism, the former of which I received and honors designation for an essay on how Taoism manifests in Western culture (or perhaps a better abstract is how it doesn’t!) It’s largely and esoteric subject that no one in my sphere enjoys discussing so I’ll talk, or write, about it at length when given the opportunity! Thanks for asking! Alan Watts, of course, is a huge inspiration and conduit into many of those concepts for English speaking folks like myself!

@@EpicSolo Nice! I remembered the phrase, and the character Svetaketu. It’s been two decades or so, but I used to read extensively on Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, yoga, meditation, and mysticism. And I remember reading Alan Watts. Unfortunately my memory is absolutely useless these days, so I don’t have anything to say about all those things, except they still have a special place in my heart 😂 But two decades ago I’m sure we could have had a profound conversation about the Tao and Wu Wei and who knows what else 😂
