      Nilbog was also using reversal of fortune before damage rolls. No point in doing that.

  • @necrosniper
    @necrosniper 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    At 14 Int, I would assume the Copper Dragon Wyrmling would be smart enough to just stay at range or fly while waiting for it's breath attacks since it's pretty obvious the animated armor has no ranged attacks. It'll soon realize the Animated Amor is immune to the acid breath and have to make bite attacks to win, but use slowing breath each time prior to coming down and attempting to hit it and flying back up since the armor would not be able to take a reaction. It would be a long drawn out fight, but definitely in the Wyrmling's favor.

    • @schmian95
      @schmian95 14 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      The armor isn't immune to acid, so with minimal strategy, this is a no contest win for the dragon. The creator has heavily nerfed any creature with a fly speed by not letting them use it.
      Even having the dragon bite attack and retreat each round would halve the attacks it took (1 AoE vs multiattack)

    Very cool as always, but just a couple of notes:
    The Choker cannot use the tentacle ON ANOTHER TARGET. So they can still keep choking the same creature with the first tentacle. Also, it has a kind of action surge ability 1/short rest.
    If you used it correctly, it would have destroyed the toad. Still, choker vs specter had no chance (immune to grapple + resistant to damage), so it doesn't really matter lol

    • @BrandonRKim
      @BrandonRKim  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We’ve had a lot of discourse on the another target thing, and it seems to me to be still a bit confusing… but the choker was waiting to use their action surge for a knock out blow!!

    • @ArilliusDM
      @ArilliusDM หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@BrandonRKim Sorry, there is no discourse. That's how the rule works for any grappling creature. If they're grappled by the limb or the claw or the bite, the creature can continue to hurt them with that limb. A CHOKER doesn't let go of it's victims neck to try and attack them again, it squeezes their neck harder. A CROCODILE holds onto it's prey with crushing force and tries to tear them apart. Basic sense is all you need here.

    Cool videos and entertaining but kinda big shame how the monsters are just run as sacks of hp, ac and attacks. No other features are being used. No tactics or strategy only base attacks.
    Examples: Gazer flight wasn't used against an enemy without ranged abilities, kobold sorcerer didn't levitate out of reach and pelt with bolts, dragon didn't use flight and breaths to dominate, climbing and environmental tricks and other such features have not been used.
    The high damage and high durability monsters have too much of an advantage here.
    Adding more complicated strategies would of course make things more interesting but slso hard/longer/more complicated to run. Have fun eith the series 👍

  • @DaBlueIghuana
    @DaBlueIghuana 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I’m sorry for being a stickler to the rules but I know them well and it irks me when I see someone get them wrong. I’ve got two things:
    1: the crocodile & choker could still make attacks against those they had grappled with the appendage they used to grapple the opponent with. Their weapon profiles only say that they can’t use the same appendage to attack a *different* target.
    2: when a creature is paralyzed they are also incapacitated, which means that successfull hits from attacks within 5ft of them are automatically critical, the giant frog should’ve taken 8d4+2 damage when the scarecrow hit it while it was paralyzed.
    There, the first point is the one I’ve been noticing before this video too.
    Love the content though, this is a great idea for a video and a series.

    These are fun!
    Do you have any thoughts about random (rolled) terrain influence for each battle in the form of a re-roll inspiration?
    For example, "cliff side" terrain could give inspo to all creatures with flying speed, "underdark cave" could give the inspo to all creatures with darkvision, "dark forest" to all creatures with a stealth skill or invisibility, "urban streets" could give inspo to shapechangers and charmers, etc etc.
    This could give potential extra chances for creatures that have their power distributed to more "utility" features.
    Obviously this would complicate the format a tad, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts about it! :)
