@@thegreatandterrible4508 I am sincerely sorry for my lapse in judgement, I will be sealing myself within the Nine Hells for ten thousand years to atone for this grievous misdeed
@@kylerdoud no u: This spell may be cast on any object (creature or otherwise) that has spoken an insult (it must be obvious that it is an insult). The caster utters the words "no you", instantly dealing 4 times the damage of the original insult plus 5d8 additional damage as emotional damage to the target. If the insult was directed at the castor, this damage is doubled once more. The target must make a dc15 wisdom saving throw else be rendered speechless for 10 minutes.
@@8-bitsarda747 Which most likely doesn’t considering it only has 1hp left. Just have a Monk go up to it and stunning fist with all of its attacks lol.
Actually, vicious mockery seems like a really awesome way to kill a major enemy, if played right. Dragon - How am I bested by such frivolous creatures? *insert taunt of choice* DM - and the dragon, body defeated, and ego crushed, gives up all will to live, and surrenders to death.
"You know whats the worst part of all this, Khamesh? You werent felled by a kings sword, taking back his castle. You werent slain by a archmage in pursuit of ultimate power. At the end of your looong and sad life....you lie at the feet of a starving artist and his closest friends. Your life, summed up in this moment. And a mere footnote in mine. Khamesh, the Cucked Dragon" *Vicious Mockery*
Vicious Mockery: Even legendary creatures with the mental fortitude and will power to be immune to fear or charm and resistant to magic are not immune to being shamed to death.
Michael Giovinazzi No, because, unless you're playing a warforged bard, you probably have to breathe to speak, meaning that you're using your breath as a weapon.
@@meowdynyall9284 I kinda have to disagree. Although yes, you are using breath to create the sound, the breath itself doesn't have to get to the victim of the thuum. You know, vibration being transferred between molecules and such. So I propose we call it a breath powered weapon instead.
"Does he know Nirn's second moon?" Nirn's second moon is Secunda. That was the most cleverly written and disguised joke in the entire video. That one was really good.
@@nnickplays9713 "Secunda" means "Second" which sounds kinda obvious when you explain it so it works as an insult. To show how dumb your enemy is for not knowing it. It really doesn't make too much sense but still neat when you are a TES geek.
I stand up, confident Atop the rockery The last hit on this dragon is Vicious mockery Yeaaaaaah, vicious mockery! It's the worst way to go Anticlimactic I know 1d4 damage No longer a challenge It's the worst way to go Anticlimactic I know 1d4 damage No longer a challenge He just died to some words Write it in the history and records I have much cooler magic I could've used instead But for him it's tragic It's a cantrip why he's dead It's the worst way to go Anticlimactic I know 1d4 damage No longer a challenge It's the worst way to go Anticlimactic I know 1d4 damage No longer a challenge This legendary beast was felled by Me calling him a dumby Or making fun of his mommy Has he ever heard of Candice? We had a harder time with bandits Does he know Nirn's second moon Or think that it's all too soon? For the final moments of his long-lived life He hears me saaaay... What do you think of deez? Deez nuuuuuuuuuuuuts Deez nuuuuuuuts Deez nuuuuuuuts Deez nuuuuuuuts Deez nuts Deez nuts Deez nuts I killed him by saying 'deez nuts' Deez nuts He is dead because I said 'deez nuts' Now he's dead I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home Take me home Take me home Take me home Deez nuts I killed him with deez nuts (Fade)
@@supremehare9893 And this is a really cool moment, to be honest. Imagine the dragon wounded and on the brink of death, and the bard delivers an insult so vicious, so cutting, that the dragon appears to lose its will to live and succumbs to its previous wounds.
@@LJCyrus1 my party uses a much more General system, an enemy being "Bloodied" or half health for below. But we usually also say when the enemy is about dead, like one More hit
@@mattjanzen2344 Yeah but If this is a normal party and it's the bards turn the possibility of the dragon using all of it's actions before the bard's turn it's pretty high. Who knows? Maybe the dragon survived the wizards fireball using it's legendary action and now it's out of them!
@@aeho7496 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9qmCVTJFbP0.html Its the trend where one character shoots a giant laser at the other one. I can't remember which scene/animie it was, but you still dont know if the enemy is dead unless they fully dissolve like at the timestamp.
Well, that's a curiously placed reference. But, I should know the feeling of making entirely irrelevant references. And, so, remember: even if it seems impossible... just persevere
Bard: "Your momma fat" Dragon: Rolls 14 WIS save + 8 bonus Bard: "Hey wiz my man, didn't you roll a 3 on your portent this morning?" Wizard: "Yep" Bard: "Are you gonna use it?" Wizard: "Nope" Any self-respecting diviner would refuse to use portent just on principle.
@@20catsRPG I mean, our Diviner used a nat 1 simply cause "Screw that guy" The Witch Hunters wanted to seal up an evil lair and take over the building it was found in, so they could protect the city. The Archmage of the city wanted to take it over to study, and figure out what the evil guys were up too, or ways to stop them. Both are valid arguments, but our Diviner gave the Witch Hunters a Nat 1 to be petty against the guys whose sole purpose was just to protect people from magic users. Granted, they were also just dicks, but still lol
I mean to add even more insult to injury it died to a level 1-4 party, since at vicious mockery gets additional damage dice when you level up, like all cantrips.
Getting the kill with Vicious Mockery is awesome when it happens. I usually take the "how does he die" moment to describe the monster/bandit/whatever shaking like Principal McVicker from Beavis and Butt-Head, shouting my character's name while shaking his fist, then either he drops from a heart attack or his head explodes.
While this is a buff to a already good spell its so small and the flavor value is worth: depending if they fail their wis save or not, they just straight up give up in either a fail ( highly depressive episode, loses the will to eat, drink, act in general ) or a success ( rethinks their choices in life, usually quits whatever their doing if they arent killed by someone else. I have had one or two show up later on as npc, former cultist zerreach, turned into john the bakery owner, as they thought their name was too complicated and found a passion for cooking is my favorite )
I mean, my only Pure Bard character technically killed a God, by performing such a moving, and powerful rendition of Sound of Silence, that the followers of the god, a cult, converted to a new faith, and the God withered away to nothing because, per the DMs own lore, the God drew power from the faith of his followers... Nat 20s are a DMs best and worst Frenemy.
"You're such a big embarrassment that your name will go down the history as the dragon who got literally killed by words" is all I could think of as the verbal component
OK, I literally had to describe an enemy die to vicious mockery 30 min ago to my party and we end the session to see this video. I swear to god I am not lying.
Story time: On my second D&D session we were assaulted by a dragon while sailing on an airship. The dragon was fierce and brutal, bringing destruction to us from the sky. Now I (being a bard) couldn’t really do much to help without thinking of something clever. I looked at my cantrips and noticed “Heat Metal” and then looked at our Halfling barbarian who was also having trouble reaching the dragon. I went up close, whispered a plan in his ear, then we asked the DM if we could try it on our next turn. I picked up the Halfling and then threw him into the dragon like a football. He dug his axe into the beasts flesh, then on my next turn I would cast Heat Metal on the axe, searing the beasts flesh. I went further by chucking some knives I had into it’s wings and doing much of the same, eventually being able to destroy one entirely. Our whole group was in a panic, so our wizard tried to stun the dragon by casting... thunderclap... When I rolled for constitution I rolled low, maybe even a 1. I was standing close to the wizard, so my punishment was that I endured so much force that I became permanently deaf. The bard could no longer play her songs. The dragon was low, so I made one last chance to do some damage. I basically told everyone that things were dire and that I’m just going to run and strike my harp as loud as possible to give them a chance to sneak behind a distracted dragon. I don’t remember the exact details but basically I ran up to the dragon and rolled a 1 on the quality of the music and rolled a 20 on damage. I strummed the harp SO loud that the dragons head exploded!!! Not only that but everyone on the ship felt it through their bones. They didn’t notice the thunderclap but they felt the raw power of a bard’s regret at not being able to make a tune anymore! From then on Delita the Deaf would sing out of pitch songs and generally annoy the party with her constant shouting of “WHAT?” during conversation. I miss those days. They always brought a smile. Farewell Silver Creek D&D As they said in Earthbound I miss you
This reminds me of a one-shot we did where I was a bard and landed the final blow on the BBEG with Vicious Mockery. Yes, I insulted his mother so hard he decided to keel over and die. One of my favorite DnD moments.
What was the BBEG, and how powerful was he compared to the average member of his race. Cause I wanna know exactly how embarrassed that man would be in the afterlife after realizing he was brought down by a cantrip.
Fun fact: when creating a Bard in the Player's Handbook, it specifically states that, besides having to be horny all the time, any kill that you get on a boss has to be done with the _vicious mockery_ cantrip or else it doesn't count.
@@BigDickWizard6969 I thought so that the druid and paladin can sneak up to their room for the kinky stuff, while all eyes are on the bard in expectation of who he will hit on...and how..like it is a documentary
Somewhere out there is a Bard whose lute has tally marks scrawled across it for every Vicious Mockery kill they've gotten. And hopefully it's also carved with the words "This Machine Kills Kobolds."
*They sing songs and tell legends of his final attack in all the lands:* _The Bard then stood up confident towards the towering dragon and shouted 'You must've been born on the highway 'cause that's where most accidents happen'_ *And the Dragon slowly toppled down in agony with such suffering defeat....*
I HATE people that HATE other people. The comment I respond to did not spread HATE. That is good. BUT! I get a lot of HATE comments on my amazing videos and I HATE it. Please don't start spreading HATE. Do I have to HATE you too, dear ca
Jacob actually went out there and made a full 2 minute song. A legitimate sounding good song. If this *doesn’t* get released on Spotify, Me gonna be angy
@@aprilecotton2060 No he wouldn't. Vicious mockery doesn't have half damage, if he succeeds the dragon doesn't take any damage. Read the spell before commenting. You take 4d4 psychic damage from reading this reply and you have disadvantage on your next attack roll because you probably didn't read that part either, now did you?
@@iang5565 I was going to ask if it was! But noooo, YOU had to RUIN my MOMENT!!! Curse you and your family FOREVAH!!! 😠😠😠 j/k But I really was going to say something about Spotify.
I keep coming back to this video. Is it just me, or is Jacob a lyrical genius by being able to transfer a song into closing time and make it sound seemless while also making a hilarious joke?
Remember the time he offed a ghost who turned out to be a dead de Rolo? "Which one of my ancestors did you just shame to death... again?!" Sam Riegel would get such a huge laugh out of this video.
Bard: ''Ever heard of Candice?'' Dragon: ''No Who's Candice?'' Bard: ''Candice d*ck fit in your mouth!'' Dragon: ''Dude that doesn't work I'ma Dragon'' Bard: ''Dragon who? wait n-'' Dragon: ''DRAGON MY NUTS ACROSS YOUR FACE''
Our group's bard landed the last hit on strahd with vicious mockery. Right after my wizard had done 48 fire damage with an upcast scorching ray. I'll never forget it
With one hit point, would it matter? I'm genuinely asking because I don't know how saves and spells work. I have only played a barbarian so far and I'm very new to the game.
Personally I absolutely love the idea of a powerful villain being killed by Vicious Mockery. First time I saw it happen in Critical Role I enjoyed it immensely. I wasn't familiar with Bard abilities, so that was literally how I learned what Vicious Mockery is.
can we just for a moment appreciate what a comical masterpiece this is. i recently found your channel (because i started playing dnd and yeah algorythmn n stuff), and im so happy i did.
