Vampiric grasp

Here's a couple ideas I have: - a Phase 2: when Arthas drops below 50% hp, he goes in phase 2. When he does, only once his summon ghouls ability summons two undead knights. I would also enable the usage of Quake only in phase 2. - Frostmourne hungers: I would change this to a legendary action working like this: when a player dies in this encounter, Arthas resurrects him as an undead scourge under his control. The player resurrects maybe with 20% of his hit points and can make charisma saving throws to resist the Lich King's will on each turn. During the first turn and for each turn he's lost this saving throws, the resurrected player must act as the Lich King's ally and play against the rest of the party; however, all his harmful rolls towards the party have disadvantage. This could be attached to some saving throw counter and, after a certain number of failed charisma saving throws, the player is more and more embracing his new Scourge identity and doesn't have disadvantages anymore. Meanwhile, after three successful consecutive charisma saving throws, the player gains his freedom back; he would be considered undead but he can join in the action again.

I have a question about the druid can they transfer magic to another

I convinced my em to let me turn the crystal I use as a star map into a necklace so that I’m always “technically” holding it and have access to the spells.

Thanks so much for having me as a guest! Always a blast chatting about the game with you!

the stuff about shillelagh is all true, it was one of the first things i looked up in the new rules since i loved using it for my nature clerics, now Ican add the spell to other characters that would hugely benefit from it, like trickster clerics for example, or even warlocks

“Uhm… well, actually…” had me cracking up. I’m a player, guidance is fine, but the problem is we played using discord for video chat. And a cleric interrupting someone to say “guidance” would cut off the mic of the person trying to describe what they wanted. So it was definitely a bit of a bother.

man... its like they make the rules for a game they done play... most of the useful cantripz were made completely unwantable and the others made so OP that nobody will choose the nerf toys.

chill touch makes more sense and touch damage was sorely needed for things like familiars, shocking grasp and inflict wounds were bout the only options. think they should do a poison and acid one for the same reason, and cause they sorely need a use case with all the resistance against them.

You have presented shillelagh and true Strike incorrectly…they are both MAGIC ACTIONS in the 2024 edition…so you can’t mix and match with your ACTION, you have to choose one or the other. So, if you have multiple attacks per round you can’t sneak in a magic action as one of those attacks. Therefore if you have multiple attacks neither shillelagh or true strike are good choices…but wizards, sorcerers, and druids would be an excellent choice. Warlocks get access to pact magic at 1st level and gives access to better weapons like the great sword at 1st level so they can scale with fighters pretty much…you don’t have to be a hex blade to get pact of the blade in 2024, in fact hex blade is dust in the wind.

starry wisp reminds me of the radiating orb mechanic from bg3 lol

gr8 thing about sorcerous burst is that as it scales, all u need is one D8 to get another, so at level 5, 2d8 means u have 2 chances to hit d8, level 11 u have 3 chances from 3d8, kinda insane

chill touch originally also gave undead disadvantage on attack rolls, seems like a massive nerf

This is my list and thank you for your video I have now added them to mine cheers! Toll the dead & Spiritaul Weapon Thornwhip & Spirit Guardians Spike growth & Plant Growth Control Water & Water Breathing Animate Dead & Cloudkill Storm Sphere & Web Hex & Maze Bless & Faerie Fire Summon Greater Demon & Wall of Force

Vitriolic sphere is my signature. A Wizard's best friend to kill hordes of demons and devils (but don't try it on Yugoloths)

I fucking love revenants ngl.

nd bodak

Chill touch range has dropped though is it still worth it?

It's siXth, not sickth

sorry for the question but what stat array would you recommend

True Polymorph is a funny little spell...can turn creatures into objects and according to RAW, corpses are considered objects so just true Polymorph an enemy into their corpse and if you concentrate on the spell for an hour, it becomes permanent until it is dispelled.

Correct percentages: 1st = 53% 2nd = 79% 3rd = 91% 4th = 99%

Going shock my party with him this week

Warcaster + Sorlock + Quicken Metamagic + Agonizing Blast + Spirit Shrouds = a F load of attacks that could be performed point blank (5ft) all benefiting from 1d8s stacked on top of it... I still took Spirit Guardians because overall I think it's more useful in more situations but don't think for a minute I didn't study Spirit Shroud long and hard before I had to choose. It's a very good spell. 😊

Intro bit got a hearty chuckle out of me

Nice I’m going to have to revisit these spell, thanks for doing the busywork dude.

At 8d8 your probability is 100%. Your math isn’t mathing.

Great review. I always wanted to run this one and heard a few reviews on it. Yours by far is the best I have heard to date. Thanks for sharing.

I have a player who loves chromatic orb and its a sorcerer with empowered spell, good bye final battle

I am now a part of this vid and looking for a new group myself. Or at least looking for people to do one-shots with. All useful info Lee! One that i used to do before were westmarch servers like the forged concordance.

This one is the fourth module I've played in, and honestly it's my favourite. We use a lot of the travel time to roleplay, we walk and talk lol. I also operate as DM support for this one, giving a hand with admin and bouncing ideas back and forth. We're in chapter two at the moment (I was a viewer who skipped to best and worst lol) and we're having a really good time!

Fun but not overpowered. The fact that you can miss and deal 0 damage or end the chain is a huge downside. Personally, I'm still taking it, but at high levels, I want reliable damage that deals more on average. That said, it'll still be nice to have to when typical AoEs would hit allies.

Love the breakdown! As a player, had a rough time with this campaign as I felt uninformed and just lost without any details of the underdark (didn't help being relatively new to dnd) and not having any real idea of what the story was about or for. Ok, so we escape prison and there's a giant demon dreamt into existence. Keep running. To what end? Watching this breakdown makes me want to buy the book so that I could run it for others better than it was presented to me. Sounds like it would be awesome fun! ...Just rework the ending a bit...

I'd fix true strike by simply making it a bonus action. That concen is still undesirable so theres still an incentive to still use steady aim, hide, etc.

Hello. I have a problem of only limiting to 2014 rule book. How do I go about making the best Necromancer? Please

The "OGL Scandal" was fabricated by TH-camrs. Please don't go down that path of spreading misinformation for clicks and clout, like the big channels. Can't subscribe until I'm confident you're not just another TH-camr taking advantage of the TTRPG community's lack of integrity and critical thinking.

Flames of Phlegethos combos well with this. Can reroll any 1s, for more chaining likelihood.

Strong, but Conjure Minor Elementals is much more broken

Good video! Nice cornicello too!❤

ooof that is a truly substantial upgrade!

Not sure if anyone else figured this out but it's AWESOME on wild magic sorcerer's. Any time you roll this option on the wild magic surge table: 29-32 The next time you cast a spell that deals damage within the next minute, don’t roll the spell’s damage dice for the damage. Instead use the highest number possible for each damage die. If you cast Chromatic Orb on your next turn then you don't roll for damage; it's automatically all 8's! So it will always bounce to a new target! The 2nd orb will also do max damage so as long as you don't miss with the attacks you will always hit the maximum number of targets (assuming there are enough enemies within range). Definitely worth upcasting in this case.

I guess any spellcaster that uses it is a... pinball wizard.

This could be a blast for Sorcerers using empowered spell, so they can re-roll damage dice to increase the likelihood of getting pairs...

Take sorcerer for advantage on spell attacks as a bonis action. Also, take the feat that turns your 1s and 2s on thunder damage into 3s. Cast chromatic orb - thunder, and you got a bing bong sorcerer.

Draconic Sorcerer gets this as a bonus spell. Innate Sorcery gives advantage to Sorc attack spells. You're welcome. I apologize to your DMs.

I feel that it upcasts well but not in an unbalanced way. Let's consider some levels of upcasting and compare them to comparable spells: 3rd level: Maximum of 4 targets, 5d8 damage each. While fireball is 8d6 damage and a 20ft burst. The Chromatic orb is easier to cast safely around allies (unless you are a evocation wizard or have the appropriate metamagic), but a miss stops the chain. So I feel like each sometimes has a place. 5th level: Maximum 6 targets, 7d8 damage. Compare this to Steel Wind Strike which targets 5 people for 6d10 Force, also with an attack roll. With chromatic orb it stops the first time you miss, while Steel Wind Strike definitely gets an attack against all 5 targets and the damage is similar. In those examples it is comparable if you hit with every attack, but more attacks also means more chances for a miss to happen and break the chain. So in practice you won't see that best case scenario often. So I agree that chromatic orb seems to upcast better than most spells (a 3rd level burning hands for example does not compare at all to a fireball), but it doesn't make it better than spells of that actual level.

A common tactic we used to escape: everyone gather around the owner of the cube, activate it, and then the wizard cast an escape spell like mass teleport.

I think… is this better than Chain Lighting?

Chaos bolt users crying because they’re not unique anymore damn

This is Pathfinder 2e, not DND 5e, but... I play a Created Fleshwarp Druid named Envy... you're a chad if you know what show this is a character originally from.
