Monk is the class I've heard most people regret playing in 5th edition. Anybody diving in with a 2024 Monk in a new campaign?

🤦‍♂️ some people just don't know how to raise children.

"Did you start the riot?" No, YOU DID! [NAT 20] "why... why would i do that?!?" ;<;

The dog is like " okay, child is freaking out... what do I do???"

It was sooooo great to play with The Faint Divinities!

Loved this game!!!

Excited for people's reactions! What are we predicting for part two?

That child has either been attacked before or has been told things about dogs that are psychotic.

Nat 20s for skill checks. I see we are using house rules.

Our Barbarian has -2 to Intimidation. Our Bard has +9.

Only if you have a shitty or an amusing DM

Me, every time a player uses a build they got from reddit

Yup

Drinking competitions at the tavern are the best!

Brutal! My man needs him some skill mastery

Major fumble!

I think you should use both the updated and previous Divine Interventions; either cast a spell instantly for free, or roll the percentile dice and do it the old way

If you cast Power Word Kill with the gift of dance, wouldn't that make it Power Word Slay.

But yea, Fey Wanderer TWF Ranger/GWM Ranger is weaker than an Archfey Gish/Echo Fighter (not comparable). Gloom is gimicky, but stealth is way worse, and the 2-3 uses of your 1 damage power per long rest, is bad. Beastmaster is ok, but I'd rather play a OoV Paladin with Conjure Steed, and be insanely better. So, we are left with the Hunter which is.... trassshhhyyy. So yea, I think Rangers might be the worst class. I think I'd rather play an Arcane Tricker and have lvl 4 wizard spells, etc, than whatever Ranger combo people end up with. Being reliant on Concentration/Bonus action starved, and then even in PEAK scenarios, the damage falling off dramatically after level 4, seems... like a class that isn't worth touching with a 10 foot pole.

2:45 LOL don't forget valor bards, but yea I think the best build for them is a STRanger or some troll gloom stalker not really participating and just egging the GM on to cast light in the area. I don't think anything else stands out versus say ArchFey Warlock, Echo Knight, OoV Paladin with a steed, etc. And then STRanger looks bad compared to just going Paladin. Ranger players are left with... gloom trolling with umbral sight.

Concentration was removed from most of the smite spells, but they also got other improvements. As a result though I believe most, if not all, smite spells can only be cast on a weapon hit.

You can't stack Smites. All of them are 'spend a Bonus Action after hitting', so only one per attack. You can buff with other stuff like Divine Favor in advance, but not Smites.

Wizards Power Word Kill, Bards Power Ballad Kill?

Never played the Assassin, so cant really comment. Thoght the Soul Knife was overpowered before. The Thief is i think a little underpowered, but at least you can use acrobatics to jump, and a climb speed is nothing to sneeze at. I liked the school limits on Arcane Trickster and would have liked to see them more restrictive, but maybe one more numbered slot.

I wonder what part of D&D 2024 they were talking about?

I think y'all focused WAY too hard on the nerf to divine smite to really appreciate that paladin's overall got a lot of good going for them now. universally for martials, they have weapon masteries, spellcasting is gotten at lvl 1 now, lay on hands is a BA and also has much more use, they get all the fighting styles of fighters while still having the bless warrior option to get 2 cleric cantrips, they get more than one use of channel divinity, a few of the subclasses got major bonuses, and radiant strikes apply to unarmed strikes now. Overall, paladins imo got some huge bonuses and feels much better now. Divine smite's nerf is unfortunate, but it was definitely necessary to me, so that they don't burn through all their slots so quickly. The only thing is that I hate it being a spell, it should've stayed as an innate paladin ability. Maybe it should've only had the words "once per turn" included somewhere, or maybe it is better as a bonus action, I'm not sure, but it being a spell ruins the flavor for me and I think I'll change that for whatever paladin I run in the future.

For me, Rangers are alright, but I feel like they could have kept some features like the Spells from Tasha's or made HM not require concentration (at all or at lower levels) and the Capstone felt weak. It's not a bad spell per se, but with quite a bit of spells still requiring that concentration, I feel like rangers '24 is built around HM. And although rangers could have kept some (more) of the 2014 or Xanathar's features, it's not a bad class. But it does feel more of a "joke" class but it's still solid. I really hope that rangers do get a great update if they drop a 2024 xanathars or 2024 Tasha's.

The Ranger class has no good features that deal with the exploration pillar of D&D anymore, it's such a shame! Their Level 2 feature Deft Explorer has nothing to do with exploring. It gives you 2 languages and an expertise! We don't care about languages, give us something worth while. We're no better at exploring than the bard is! And even then, the bard is probably better!

You missed one of the glaring issues with the new beast master, your beast attacks now use your wisdom modifier instead of your proficiency. So, in a sense this is the druidic warrior subclass where you pick up Sheilagh and a ranged cantrip, then cast support spells on your beast with an action and cast cantrips on rest of your turns. And if you need a bonus action spell, you can still give up an attack to command it. Also, you have paladins who now get two-weapon fighting style and the new divine favor which adds a d4 on all attacks against any target without concentration. And vengeance still gets hunter's mark as a spell. Finally, I know he said you would stealth up and cast it before combat but don't forget the stealth check for the vocal component of the spell.

Cleave seems super fun and it's easy to do because you can have your team pushing them together so you can cleave em

This is great!!!

10:40-11:11 - This is incorrect, Slow doesn't stack. A creature hit with multiple attacks from slow weapons can only have its speed reduced by 10 feet. That would still make it easier to kite melee enemies around, but it isn't possible to just bombard them with crossbows to reduce their speed to 0. Edit: Oops, originally typed sap. It's slow.

Can you combo weapon mastery? A rouge with a main hand dagger and off hand short sword for example. Nix, them vex now next round is set for sneak attack maintaining bonus action.

I don't think anyone would argue this is a big improvement on the previous version of species and backgrounds.

A lot going on here! Do we know if there's a way for monks to learn weapon masteries for their unarmed strikes?

Hellllll yeahhhhhhh!!!! Let’s gooo!!!

Now that the book is basically out, do we think it's fully backwards compatible with D&D 2014?

I love the deconstruction of story As a literature major I love the thought process 😊

My friends!!!!!! I missed those faces!!! (It's been literally less than a week). Also, to clarify - HI It's Rachel from the Daggerheart Crew at GenCon!

I think Oathbreaker/Assassin might be a better multiclass... Barbarian/Fighter is mid!

If you're gonna be a speedster, why would you be the lesser one?

Tabaxi for their mobility

Monk/Artificer is pretty nifty! Anyone have any class/race suggestions?

Jesus loves you, please never forget that, because out of love for us, Christ gave himself on that cross. Soon Jesus will return, the Bible is increasingly being fulfilled. Repent and seek Him while there is STILL time! He lives and loves us❤😊

What about Black Noir this season?

High: STR, CON, CHA Mid: DEX, WIS Low: INT

I was thinking sun monk mixed with shadow sorcerer, being able to shoot sunbeams and consume the light from an area.

Wait, rogue/artificer cross class

I would've thought he's either a Bard or Artificer

I dont think there's any other class that fits this salty dummie
