El retardo speaking out of hes ass...
Added suggestion: Far realms. I've been interested in all that crazy stuff but there's just so little wherever I check and I need something _more_
On the list! I just recorded Material Plan, Feywild, and Shadowfell, but all three videos ended up with major audio issues... So I am behind schedule! But I'll be getting these out soon, and on to the Far Realms!
I need to know the song, it'd be awesome background music for an idyllic tavern
4min for deep dive in cosmology? feels like fast views grab
Four minutes for the intro video of the Playlist! There will be one video dedicated to each plane of existence coming out over time.
Im a DM and i just wrote these down for my players. Im gonna find some way to implement these. Thanks so much
I love that! Hope they are helpful for your players!
Playing a game online now. The DM gave each of us our own private discord chat and has encouraged us to use it to keep a journal from our character's POV. They've also given us a couple of public prompts to answer about our character's backstories. Both have helped me flesh out my character quite a bit in ways I hadn't thought about before.
The character i want to play as lately is kain from legecy of kain and soul reaver. He'll work with them, as long as they dont try to betray him or question his actions. "I will not justify or explain my actions to anyone."
what is the picture you used for the thumbnail?
Just interesting artwork for a dnd character!
I found the video from the short! Ive watched all of these so far and I intend to continue to do so as they are uploaded. Instant sub!
Amazing! Glad it is helpful!! Please, let me know if there are any topics or questions you would like a video on! I will be recording more next week!
@RiddleAndRule Well I'm not exactly sure what the cause of this is, but I do have one thing that's been going on lately. We are playing a campaign with four party members, and there is one of us who is a bard. The bard subclass they have is combat focused, however they always do everything in their power to avoid a fight. We ended up in a fae trap, and our druid pulled a nice nature check that informed us that there was fairies here and they wanted to eat us. The portal back was locked until we kill all the fairies. Our bard did one attack and then tried to convince them to let us go a couple times, which failed of course because combat and disadvantage on persuasion checks during. Halfway through the fight, they had to leave for a bit and didn't make it back by the end of the session. During their absence we finished the fight, found a cockatrice egg, and got to our first major boss fight. This was by far the best combat scenario we've experienced the entire campaign so far, and it kinda got awkward when everybody realized that the bard being unconscious was contributing more by not trying to hire the bad guy to work in a restaurant. I'm not sure where the issue is here, I've tried going to Reddit and they just tell me to kill his character or kick him out or something but I'm convinced there's a better solution. He's also nearly impossible to have a serious conversation with, so really I just want to find a solution to this that doesn't result in him leaving
Is there a full video on this? I'd really like to watch that please
Saw your other comment! Glad you found it!!
Thanks this is great advice i think it will help me a lot and i hope this will help my players to
I love that! Hope it is helpful for all of you! Let me know if there are any specific topics you'd like a video on!
thanks
Good tips, most annoying thing in my current campaign is this one guy who hasn't bothered to learn their character and doesn't plan ahead. Every time their turn comes up they hem and haw, look up abilities and talk them out to himself out loud. This would be forgivable except he does this every time and for the same abilities, and makes the same mistakes about spells every session. I know they are enjoying the game but it feels disrespectful to the rest of the group.
Yeah that's rough... really can break the momentum
Definitely worth a conversation! Sending videos like these, and even helping make a cheat sheet with the common abilities and options in front of him to help make quicker decisions might help!
First time finding your channel, I love it! 😄⚔️🔮❤️
So thankful to hear that! Thank you! Let me know if there are specific topics you'd like a video on! Always looking to help out!

I like fortitude for Champion fighters focused on tanking because they gain an intrinsic healing feature for when they’re bloodied so it gets upgraded by the boon.
Dueling fighting style doesn't work with a weapon you are wielding in 2 hands. Gw fighting style doesn't apply to damage dice from other sources, just weapon damage. (Somethings add to weapon damage like sneak attack, but WotC makes sure to keep these things from stacking) Additionally fire burn is a once per long rest ability so 5 damage a day is not a big deal it's hardly worth mentioning. Colossus Slayer is a d8 per round, per creature which incentivizes attacking multiple foes.. which you don't want to do in melee unless you drop one in first attack.. but how often does that happen? Rangers do low single target damage compared to any other melee class.. I'm not sure why, but all their features seem to incentivize attacking multiple targets. As far as tanking goes rangers are limited by constitution being low (multiple ability dependant) lack of reaction defense (defense duelist is a must) and little damage mitigation like rage or heavy armor master. Mathematically they just aren't as good on the front line. They are more of a dual role skilled/support character. Which is niche and why so many people have a problem with them. Breaking their features down you get: 1/3 caster which is mostly support, 1/3 combatant, 1/3 skills user.
Hey! While I like, that you have some cosy music underlying your video, I would make the suggestion to put down the volume on that. By a lot. And I don't mean it like Trump. I mean really a lot. It's nice at the beginning. Let the music start and give it some room, but wen you go into your content, slowly fade it to maybe half as loud? I don't know, it's hard to say. Show it a friend and ask for specific feedback on that matter. I'm sure you will work that out. Thank you for your content and all the best to you! Peace!
Think i fixed that for the future videos! Thanks for the note. And your respectful nature! I am new to the editing side of things so learning as I go!
@@RiddleAndRule You're very welcome! 🙂
In the adventure 'Uni and the hunt for the lost horn' they have the 2025 monster manual stat blocks for: blink dog CR 1/4 bugbear warrior CR 1 bullywug warrior CR 1/4 mage CR 6 worg CR 1/2 bullywug bog sage CR 4
OooOOh! Good to know!!
Or you do the opposite and just always lead the players into a killbox because your bbeg is "supposed to be smort"
Wow, wolves are rough now, no save, you just go prone? That makes them pretty useful even against higher level players.
Oh 100 percent! I wonder what else in the manual won't have saves when it comes out!
No.
Very helpful! I've always heard of adding tactical hazards/alternative objectives but I never really understood how to do it. I also love the insight on the new PHB and how we can use those new features to incentivize dynamic combats!
Love that! Thanks for the feedback!!
unfortunatly i didnt learn anything new, that being said i think you explained it very well. I like the setting you set around the camera. did you make that yourself, or did u just pull some picture from the internet and slapped a camera on there?
2:59 10 Tips start here, but the set up is needed to understand what is happening in the 2024 Player's Handbook!
You are smoking some weird ass crack if you think Boon of Skill is number 1. There are a LOT of ways to get a skills, and most arent worth getting and for those classes that do make use of lots of skills, they get more anyway. This is the WORST one. Considering your previous "high bar" in dissing some of the others, this seems like the king of the anti climax...lol.
Its not the best, but its not the worst either. A lot of classes are pretty lacking in the skill department, so it can be a big shift for them. Boon of fate imo is the worst a once per fight 2d4 on a roll just isn't worth it imo. The ones that aren't at will, always on or every turn really need to really deliver a big impact, that one doesn't. Boon of fortitude is close. Its basically the origin feat tough but as a 1/2 feat. The extra healing is too small to make it worth it.
The new invisible just means "unseen". If you hide then come around a corner in full view, your "invisibility" is broken. You will not have advantage on your attacks. Now if that creature isn't facing you (assuming typical line of sight) then yes, you remain unseen and gain the advantage.
Hunter Ranger was always good. Without the buff to hunter's mark. Either ranged or melee, stacking hunter's mark, colossal slayer, great weapon master feat, and anything else you can get from weapon mastery and you will cutting people down for days. (I don't interpret the great weapon fighting style the same way you do. It's intended for weapon damage and expanding it beyond makes it more powerful but also cheesy.
Can you make this so it can be seen as the ranger class in the sense of in a file form or similar so I can refer to it as needed?
I think the potential problem is that any other martial can do (nearly) all of this whilst their features do much more… BUT like Paladin, I think Ranger is stronger than mundane martials simply because it gets spells. Though Warlock, Bard and Eldritch Knight are probably better… whereas Paladin’s Auras level the playing field
In the defense of Spell Recall, 2 subclasses cap their spell slots at 4th level: eldritch knights and arcane tricksters. Having a 25% chance to recycle the slot for any of their spells could be worth it.
Conjure Minor Elemental. Shield. Silvery Barbs. There are good options in 1-4 list that make it worth it. And as said those with Spell Levels 1-5 can get a good use of it.
@@shadowmancer99 For full casters though you have so many of those it just does not matter. At level 19 I am not running out of 3rd level spells very often, if at all. For 1/2 casters it does have some play. If it had been if the roll equals or is greater than the spell level I think it would be decent. But 25% chance just is too low for the benefit you gain.
@@Ahglock There are two types of benefits...one is the player, the other is for the DM..and as a DM, I WANT my players to use their resources, so if this encourages them to do so...well, all good. but hey, that is why its a choice...I think its pretty good.
Thanks. This gives me a lot to work with in making a viable ranger.
I honestly think the ranger is really powerful in the early levels! Just doesn't get much love after level 5 for much damage. Maybe the other subclasses do though
I belive your HP calculations are off. The max should be 480hp, perhaps its not including the boon? How do you have a CON score of 28? It should be: - 20 con at level 18 - get the boon making it 21 at lvl 19 - get barbarian capstone making it 25 I think I saw you saying you used previous ASIs to increase it past, but that wouldn't work as ASIs specify that they cannont increase your scores past 20
I don’t play D&D at all but I gotta say, you almost got me into it with the way you explain things & your calmness in your voice. Keep going, I feel like you’re gonna be big one day bro
This means a lot! Thank you for sharing this with me! I love teaching folks how to play! If you ever want to learn, let me know!! :)
Instead you should use Boon of Energy Resistance to become immune to all but psychic damage so that practically gives you multiple times more than the 40hp increase when fighting those rarer damage types.
I ran a game where one of my players did something like this! We made it to level 20, and she didn't even go below half health for most of the game.
Barbarians are crazy!!
Wow. No trap where the door seals behind them and a 10,000lb giant stone ball crashes in from the tunnel in front of them?🤣🤣
@@The_RealWilliam LOL oops! Your broken character died, please build something else!
Will this ever see play? Probably not. There is a very very small percentage of games that either make it to level 20 or start at level 20, and then you have to roll pretty well 19 levels in a row. But for that 0.00001% of players who get their Barb up there.. BIG BOI
True and true and true haha. But for those level 20 one shots and the really lucky players out there xD
Can you break down how you get to 28 Con? As far as I know it could only be 26
Either a) Taking the Boon of Fortitude allows your previous selections of Con increases from ability scores to surpass 25, since you can increase to 30 with the Boon OR b) DndBeyond is wrong, and the Boon is not meant to allow that. But as their tool functions right now, this is what DnDBeyond allows for the application of the rules.
Where did he ever say what the constitution score was to begin with?
You kinda have to roll max on all of your hit dice to get to around 480 hp but 385 at a fixed level is quite respectable
True! But I'm saying there's a CHANCE! 😅
I simulated this with a 20th level Monk. But it was hard to decide on Durability vs Toughness and in the Boon, Recover vs Fortitude. Being able to absorb damage vs being hard to kill. Fighters are lucky, because they get an extra Feat more than any other class.
Give me prestidigitation (and/or mold earth) over this 97.3% of the time
Yeah, its odd. Feels like it is way more about flavor than anything. Feels useless.
I would like to see ranger. I keep seeing they are the worst on TH-cam, but rangers are one of my favorite character concepts and I want to play one.
I COULD NOT agree with you more. I will make a ranger video next then!! :) I really do not like that Hunter's Mark still requires concentration in the new Player's Handbook. To be honest, I am most likely going to remove concentration from it at my table.
I just made a ranger build and posted it!
Nice work! Earned a new subscriber. Like the use of the background.
Thank you so so much!
Nice build summary, cool idea : )
Thanks! Excited to do more! What class do you normally play?
@danielaleksiejczyk3933 I play a lot of 5e, but I generally like CHA gishes. I think the Celestial Warlock at Lvl 6 with Pact of the Blade, Agonising Blast (True Strike), Radiant Soul (True Strike), Great Weapon Master, Hex, and a Greatsword doing 3d6 + Proficiency + CHA MOD x 3 every round is a cool
Warlocks always get the best combos!!
Just a note, the stealth attack option is kindof a nonbo with halflings thing. It is still good, but players are not three-qauarters or total cover so if you want to stay invisible you have to be behind actual cover.
Good catch, a good option if you don't have cover, but not invisible. I bet you'd still not be targeted though! Especially with the high stealth check.
Appreciate the clarification!
Came here to say exactly this as soon as he mentioned being behind an ally while reviewing the level 9 Feature.
good video
Thank you!!
Although it appears that blade ward has concentration. So, may not pick it up
Right? Would hate to lose concentration on that or not be able to cast other spells.
Definitely complicates things..
Seems fun. Lots of blindsight creatures, or ones that can cast detect invisibility will ruin your day. But - for lots of combats it would work.
True! But hopefully not many. Excited for the new monster manual to come out.
idk why but you look like the average dnd player even though i havent seen any dnd players that look like you
Beard and glasses will do it!
is that ronnie mcnutt.
