3:02 - 3:11 Can you imagine being a god-tier wizard enjoying a puff on the ol' pipe and then this shit happens?

@jacobfreeman5444 5 лет назад

Hmmmm. My thoughts are maybe he was so paranoid about someone interfering with his soul moving to another clone he link his soul to all of them...which had the unforseen consequence of making all his clones wake up upon his death. So one soul but untold number of Manshoons. This ma6 be why they grow mad as they near each other. The interference of having another body connected to his soul nearby causes some kind of baleful resonance. Which may also explain the peculiarities of the surviving clones.

@GuardianTactician 4 года назад

Good theory! If that is the case, the vampire Manshoon Orbahk does not have a soul anymore, and would no longer be affected by this problem.

@wesmaass4669 5 лет назад

Great video again Jorphdan! I have always thought of Manshoon as the Dr. Doom of the Realms. When I've used him he always speaks in the third person, however his greatest foe is his own ego.

@RPGmodsFan 5 лет назад

Jorphdan, Another great and informative video on Faerun. :-) "Waterdeep - Dragon Heist" is among my top favorite D&D Adventures. Which is surprising, given that it is a Beginner Level Adventure. I tend to favor Intermediate Level Adventures. Cheers!

@fourtrees44 4 года назад

I love your videos. I own every edition of D&D, including the various campaign settings. Have read a large amount of the old novels, but always find something new and interesting in your videos.

@nicobe8732 4 года назад

Question: "Currently, there are three known Manshoon clones existing in Faerun." The one that is in Zhentil Keep, is now _under_ Fzoul (The Clerin of Bane). So who exactly is the Pereghost? What is his position? I always thought that the Pereghost is running Zhentil Keep (maybe together with Fzoul). Is the Pereghost the military leader and Fzoul takes care of everything else?

@Jorphdan... discovered you channel recently and I've really enjoyed it. Thanks for the great info and keep it coming!!!

Wow. Great lore.

@Fodonyx 5 лет назад

Great video! I would love to see a lore video regarding Vecna and the Serpent, or about Kas and his artifact sword.

@Jorphdan 5 лет назад

That's a great topic idea. I'll add it to my list :) Although Vecna is Greyhawk I believe... I'd still like to cover this

A great video topic! "How to create a villain!" *Gets Busy Writing

@ShadowXardas 5 лет назад

These are extremely helpful! Can you do Szass Tam next? You mentioned him in the Larloch vid and I know the red wizards of Thay are important to the Tyranny of Dragons adventure so I was wondering about him.

@Jorphdan 5 лет назад

I talk about him quite a bit in this red wizards video I did a while back :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zha4miIbPFg.html

@themalcontent100 5 лет назад

With the clone spell wouldn't you be able to use it to create a level ten or possibly a level eleven spell?

@AnakinTheWeird Год назад

And then Ed Greenwood casually made a RU-vid video revealing that the original Manshoon is still alive and has a Half-Dragon daughter...

@MostcallmeTim 5 лет назад

Do you think you'll ever do a playlist / mini series on Ravnica? Never played magic, but my players all have lol and they want a campaign within the setting eventually. Hopefully WoTC comes out with some adventures as well.

@Jorphdan 5 лет назад

I also haven't played magic, but I think other RU-vidrs are covering the Ravnica lore. I'd search around as I'd like to get to this but I feel it won't be for a while.

@cheeseburgerkid1329 5 лет назад

they should make a comic book out of this. cool story.

@rastasplash7334 5 лет назад

now that is fucking interesting.

@jakubguziur7522 5 лет назад

Great video as always! I have a question, though... That thing with all clones awakened at once, that was just a mishap, no? How it can even be possible? As I always understood, the clone will awaken when original body is killed and soul transfers into the clone. So how is it possible for all the clones to awaken at once?

@Jorphdan 5 лет назад

It's a mystery as far as I could find. Not sure if it was a mishap or intended by Manshoon. Also it's unclear if these clones have souls :o

@jakubguziur7522 5 лет назад

@@Jorphdan Well, at least in 5e, according to the spell description there is a transfer of the original soul. Maybe that wasn't a thing in previous editions or it was Manshoon's specific twist of the spell, as with the simulacrum spell in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. As a fan of wizards creating and tweaking spells, I like this guy a lot, whatever the reason for that clone spell going awry was. Maybe it was early development and he was testing the crap out of that spell.

@David_Apollonius 5 лет назад

@@jakubguziur7522 Manshoon died in 1370DR. That would mean it happened under the 2nd edition AD&D ruleset. The clone spell was really different back then. You didn't need to die for the clone to become sentient and you could have multiple clones. It would just automatically happen once the clone was fullgrown after 2d4 months. It would have all of the originals memories and abilities at the time of cloning. Either the clone, the original or both would go mad and try to kill the other. You'd be far more likely to clone other people with this spell than yourself. Manshoon must have put his clones in stasis as a contingency, so they'd wake up at the time of his death.

@jakubguziur7522 5 лет назад

@@David_Apollonius Oh man, now I get it, thanks for that! The original spell sounds much more fun to play with, now it's just sort of a cheat that you can spam with a Wish spell over and over every day you don't spend your 9th level spell slot on anything else. Good spell for the main villain though - trying to find all of his clones before engaging him in battle can be a really cool long term quest.

Argh! Too short! This is a great video but needs to be much longer!

@overlordgames1394 Год назад

Sammaster is also a clone.

@Nackeroo 5 лет назад

Do you reckon you will do a video on Kwalish down the line?

@Jorphdan 5 лет назад

If I can find information on them then I'd love to. Doing a quick google search doesn't appear to be much except the Apparatus of Kwalish. I'll have to look more.

@Nackeroo 5 лет назад

Jorphdan thank you for the reply 😊

@rastasplash7334 5 лет назад

Can we get a video on fzhoul? He sounds like a badass.

@imperialadvisoraremheshvau3788 5 лет назад

I played an early Clone of Manshoon, possibly his very first one created via a scroll and not himself, at Level 13 too low to fight in the War but because of this survived when others did not, back in Second Edition D&D.

@Jorphdan 5 лет назад

Sounds fun!

Good to know thanks!

@chrisdale1214 5 лет назад

That's the Night King/Orbach clone which is the same that was involved in the more recent Elminster novels, up through Spellstorm, if I'm not mistaken.
