Once more on the set of 4th Edition... today, we interview the tiefling and the gnome. One goes to the Player's Handbook, one goes to the Monster Manual!
I'm still referencing this video 15 years and almost two editions later. "I'm a monster, wraar" and "i'm a spokesgnome for fey rites" are gonna be with me forever. Thank you, 4th edition. People never gave you the love you deserved.
Yeah, this is funny to me, because as a 5e player, a tielfing and a gnome are the only characters I've played. They're very different, but they're both very fun.
"I'm a *MONSTER*! Wrrraaarr!", Hahahaha. So cute. I love that guy. "who's my minion, who's my minion? You are! Numm numm nummb!" Pure Genius. The Gnome gets all the best lines. LOL.
it's the whole stitch, the gnome shows his gnomess in ways we can relate to and is labeled monster, while the tiefling is speaking like a monster but is a player option.
One of the weirdest things I've ever seen playing DnD almost thirty years is how gnomes went from being something almost no one played to one of the most popular race options.
The character of player heroics is truly captured by this video. Although, listening to our tiny friend talk about being a monster, does make it sound like a sweet gig.
I just realized the gnome's minion is Francis the Badger, from the children's books. You know, the one who sings songs about her sandwiches? And she gets punted. That's awesome.
The answer to that question it's fair simple: "D&D it's a wonderful game with 4 editions. I prefer this one, but will show you all so you can choose wich one you like the most". Have a nice day =)
One guy I know recently started playing D&D as a dragonborn and he is really bad at being a *tank* somehow. In literally every single encounter he has had so far he wound up getting extremely close to death or at least bloodied; and he's not even roleplaying with his character, he's just that far off. The campaign is almost half way finished and I have no idea how he has managed to live this long considering we don't have a healer or mage in the party. If you don't believe me here's a list of what he has pulled so far: First encounter: His character decided to join whichever group won and sat in the middle of a frozen lake; the result ended in him having a lot of magic flying directly towards him, falling through the ice, and a dragon flying by whilst taking a dump on him leaving one hit point. Second encounter: Stuck his arm inside of a Bulette's hole after stomping on the ground Third encounter: Without any provocation he attacked a level 15 quickling ranger, with him at level 7 I might add. The quickling beat the dragonborn hell out of him and is now screwing with him on a regular basis. Fourth encounter: He attacked a group of 8 non hostile monsters sleeping inside of their nests. At the time he thought they were "Cliff Chickens", but they turned out to be monsters that could inflict petrification on a successful hit and an automatic counterstrike when attacked with any non ranged strike. Fifth encounter: He aggro'd an entire divine group consisting of a level 14 pixie healer with an enchanted scythe, a level 15 mantis monk, an avenger, an invoker, a cleric, and a Paladin all while standing in Grey Dragon acid from the dragon they just killed. They weren't even interested in fighting us to begin with. Sixth encounter: He ticked off the NPC and nearly froze to death. Everyone in the party took heavy damage so the NPC wouldn't kill his scaly hide and no one got their much needed rest. Seventh encounter: He was reduced to 1 hit point by Kobolds. *Freaking Kobolds!* Eighth encounter: He tried screwing with a statue; it properly reciprocated when he tried prying the gems out of its eyes Ninth encounter: He refused to use any gold he had to un-curse the blade he was using and proceeded to singlehandedly tick off an entire primal fae group immediately afterwards.
The DM of your group should kill him off. Tell your DM to stop being such a pansy and just do it, if the dude has lived through that the only explanation is that the DM is actively saving him from death, prob because he don't want to kill off a player. He might think he's nice but in fact he's teaching the player all the wrong things. he should have killed him off for the stupidity in the first encounter you described already! let alone the 3rd!
Johan Johansson The DM is actually trying to actively kill him off as much as possible now. He has been irrevocably pissed off and is going to make him play a bard once he is killed.
maddeninggamer Good, stuff like that should be punished. I wouldn't want to have him in my party if he does stuff like that for no reason. I can understand messing with everyone now and then but he sounds like a twat..
Update Encounter 10: charged straight down a hallway filled with traps and set every single one off and then proceeded to smash through a wall. Encounter 11: Unleased 300 stone maggots from rotting zombies and said "for glory!" Encounter 12: He was killed, dismembered, and disintegrated by a passive character guide put in by the DM that was also an optional boss at level 25; he's the only one who wanted to do the fight. In the next campaign we will get to hear stories about how dumb his exploits were in taverns. Encounter 13: Back as a halfling wizard this time, turned a giant foe into a frog and tried impaling it with a stick. It didn't end well. Encounter 14: Went off into a blizzard alone rather than waiting for the rest of the group, got mauled by a group of dire wolves and hid in a tree until we arrived. Encounter 15: Aggro'd an Ice Golem outside our camp with 2,970 hp and very high resistances.
@@KGaijin1 Well, this is an old video. Standards were a bit lower ten years ago. Also, it's a parody to something that hasn't been topical for 10 years. It was funny at the time, but not viral or anything... I'm just rewatching for the "Rawr!"
nikushim666 3.5 IS TERRIBLE. Horribly unbalanced, idiotic race stats, overly complicated rules that are not needed, there is NOTHING good about 3.5 at all. PAthfinder at least TRIES to fix the issues with it and succeeds, mostly. Also, anyone who says that 4e is not as RP friendly as 3.5 is being nostalgic and idiotic, no exceptions. There is nothing in any 4e book that actively prohibits RP and the descriptions of everything lean heavily on RP.
William B " Horribly unbalanced, idiotic race stats" Thats easy to fix by putting LA limits on character creation and disallow certain WOTC books, all easily fixed on the DM's end. As for the "overly complicated rules" Not really, the core is straight forward. Sure some of the later book's had issue (same could be said about every edition of D&D) But the overall core was fine.
nikushim666 So, basically house rule everything, yeah, sorry, that is BAD game design when you basically have to house rule everything to even START to fix some of the galring issues. What does D&D 3.5 do that Pathfinder does not? some classes, like the Warlock, and that is about it. Heck, even pathfinder has serious balance issues with casters, but that is because of vancian magic system being stupidly designed and impossible to truly balance without making mages super strong or super weak.
Atkatsuki85 I agree that 4th Ed. is a *much* more tactical game, but if roleplay falls flat, that's probably down to the players and DM. I've played 4th Ed. games where the roleplay was brilliant and 3.5 games where everything boiled down to rolls. I kid you not, at one point, I was having an IC conversation with this guy's elf ranger, and he rolled to Hide *while* I was talking to him. The roleplay meant that little to him.
YorkChangeling It all boils down to how you play i agree, i liked 3.5 for the longest time cause, it was THE ruleset, but 4e is easy to learn, and keeps a decent amount of the mechanics. plus if it feels too much like an "mmo on paper" you could always use an essentials class.
i just got the handbook and I was looking over the classes and I was like "OMG they weren't kidding!! the gnomes are gone!!! who's going to protect my garden now?!"
Never played D&D, no idea how I arrived here, I didn't understand one word going on in the video, but the badger-kick at the end cracked me up. Ahhh, slapstick humor. Universally funny.
I think there was a mix between actual Tiefling and the spawn of a demon and prime material being. In 3rd edition you'd roll to see if and how many demonic characterictistics your half demon character would have, these ranging from horns to hooves to wings.
Gnomes are a playable race, there are rules for them in the back of the MM. As for bards, they're on the back burner until PHBII. but there is an article on the WotC site detailing how one can use existing mechanics to recreate the bard.
Erick Wujcik passed last year. :( He wasn't the creator of Palladium, but he made After the Bomb and TMNT within the Palladium system. He also made Amber Diceless and about five hundred other things too. Kevin Siembieda is the owner and a buddy of mine, and he's still going strong.
I'm still referencing this video 15 years and almost two editions later. "I'm a monster, wraar" and "i'm a spokesgnome for fey rites" are gonna be with me forever. Thank you, 4th edition. People never gave you the love you deserved.
oh, also "bring it, scruffy"
It gets more love now at least
💙
Loved 4ed
that gnome was adorable. I want one. He sounded so sad when he found out adventurers have to kill him to get the treasure.
I'm a monster, RAWR!
I wish I could find a video with just that phrase.
I wonder if this is where Pike of Critical Role got this.
Love that line. I say it like crazy to EVERYONE... then I tell them about the video so they don't I'm a real monster. "Say hello Frances!" 😊
5e Now there both apart of Players Handbook
In 4e too, since the player's handbook 2.
Yeah, this is funny to me, because as a 5e player, a tielfing and a gnome are the only characters I've played. They're very different, but they're both very fun.
"I'm a *MONSTER*! Wrrraaarr!", Hahahaha. So cute. I love that guy.
"who's my minion, who's my minion? You are! Numm numm nummb!" Pure Genius. The Gnome gets all the best lines. LOL.
Wanna mug the teifling for kicking francis? I'd love to show her what a 5e eldritch blast can do
it's the whole stitch, the gnome shows his gnomess in ways we can relate to and is labeled monster, while the tiefling is speaking like a monster but is a player option.
This video is ten years old. Wow.
nearly old enough to attend a party with Trump and Epstein.
@@Fektthis Bruh.
We did 4E dirty.
Tiefling is a murder hobo. Maybe a min-maxer. Seems like the Gnome is a roleplayer first.
Rokkiteer I've never seen a Gnome that was more Gnome than that guy.
It was 4th Edition. The whole game was basically min-max or you fail.
4e encourages murder hobos. DMs have to try and incentivize other ways of playing.
I don't you what game you played, but you can't fail in 4e LOL.
Dude this video was uploaded *exactly* half my lifetime ago. Oh the memories. "Good times"
Same for me…
This Tiefling using slang whilst also having an accent is friggin cool
You know, when the gnome brought out his minion, I half expected it to maul him.
Start this series up again.. too funny.. great honest nerdy humor
"I have a lair! Do you have a lair?!"
Guy "yes but, don't they have to kill you to get the treasure?"
Gnome: "Awa-wait what?"
*Burned*
*Punts Francis to the stratosphere*
Oh man, that Tiefling voice melts my heart. She might have demonic blood, but she makes me feel heavenly.
Poor Francis D:
I'm waiting for the 5e module: REVENGE OF FRANCIS!
One of the weirdest things I've ever seen playing DnD almost thirty years is how gnomes went from being something almost no one played to one of the most popular race options.
The introduction of the Artificer class probably had a lot to do with that. Rock Gnomes and Artificers go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Francis, NOOOO!!! x'D
The character of player heroics is truly captured by this video. Although, listening to our tiny friend talk about being a monster, does make it sound like a sweet gig.
I love that there is a "Badger Wrangler" listed in the credits.
ohhh god!! I neeed more of the gnome!!!
This isn't the originator of the cartoon, the artist name is Chulaid, really talented guy who had his start on Newgrounds.
Which bit of the Gnome would you like. Dark meat or light meat?
@@anarchyantz1564 the eye please
@@turtleguy123r3 Ah a gourmet customer! We shall dip in batter and deep fry it to your taste.
@@anarchyantz1564 thank you for the great service! (Also I respect that you replied 😂)
No! Not Francis!
Greetings from 2022 y'all! Man, where have the years gone?
Fun Fact: Gnomes were originally in the list of monsters in B/X D&D!
OMG THE GNOME!
I was laughing so hard my eyes started watering. The gnome TOTALLY made this video.
Hahaha everybody punts Francis
Never gets old
"Who's my minion? You are! Omn nom nom nom nom nom."
Haha, go Phillips!
I love the gnome. hes funny. "They set me up with this gorgeous lair... Do you have a lair?...I got a laaaiiir..." Hes got a minion! lol
Badger Wrangler: Christopher Perkins.
This is absolutely delightful .
I love it!
The gnome should know that you NEVER wave your loot around.
the gnome sounds lik a worm named shelby
Note to self never piss of Tiefling.
I would love this as a series. 🦡💰
That gnome's voice is hilarious!
Kender should be a moster race, nothing says kill me like stealing your stuff.
As a halfling, I believe that all kender should be exterminated... They give the rest of us smallfolk a bad name...
@@BaronSengir1008
Does that include goblins and kobolds as small folk?
@@beastwarsFTW "Smallfolk" usually applies to halflings and gnomes, but I suppose it could be used for goblins and kobolds as well...
I'm just re-visiting a classic
I just realized the gnome's minion is Francis the Badger, from the children's books. You know, the one who sings songs about her sandwiches? And she gets punted. That's awesome.
that tiefling's accent
16 years late and we still are waiting for one half as hot
The answer to that question it's fair simple: "D&D it's a wonderful game with 4 editions. I prefer this one, but will show you all so you can choose wich one you like the most".
Have a nice day =)
I would have watched this show.
I love this video. These things are great. :)
gnomes are cursed by their association with the twee garden ornaments
I'm currently playing a Tiefling Warlock Hexblade/Wizard, it's hella fun
Hexblade Yuan Ti here~ :)
Yes indeed in NeverWinter thats my main character, and I love it
Except gnomes are actually quite intelligent (+2). Maybe he just rolled very low for stats....
This and a few other videos from other people are what got me interested in D&D
These were great!
"I have a lair" lmao xD
I've been playing D&D since the 1980's. 4e is an improvement if you give it a chance.
Are you going to credit the artist who animated this?
His name is Chulaid
His name is Adam Phillips, his online handle is Chulaid. He's credited in the credits of the video.
I love the Tiefling's little reaction at 0:41
Damn that was funny. Please keep these coming!
Her voice is HOT!

I’m here in 2024 from the Eldritch Lorecast…. How did I not know about this gnome?! “I’m a monster! Rawr!!”
11 years later. 😍
Why the tiefling is a Latin chick?
I'da said Transylvanian. Sounds like an eastern European accent to me.
Allison Engle
Really?
That fits better.
She doesn't sound particularly Italian to me.
Sounds Russian
Callum Hening
Russian?
Really?
Im terryble with accents.
Scrreeeewwww youuuuu 4E!!!!
Tiefling is my favorite race to play.
i'm a monster! rawr! lol love it! this my favorite d&d video!
i wonder if it's me getting old, or this humor isn't funny at all
I agree. This was just annoying to watch.

One of the most idiotic changes made to 4e :/
The most idiotic change was 4e it self, hell even 5E is garbage. Most people i know stuck with 3.5 or switched to Pathfinder.
No argument there :)
nikushim666 3.5 IS TERRIBLE. Horribly unbalanced, idiotic race stats, overly complicated rules that are not needed, there is NOTHING good about 3.5 at all. PAthfinder at least TRIES to fix the issues with it and succeeds, mostly.

I knew I recognized the art! I love Bitey!
Wow. Adam Phillips! Terrific job on the animation.
too bad 4.0 sucks ass
Ah, its not so bad. Its just a different type of game.
exactly...its not DnD :( its if it was its own standalone board game and was advertised as DnD the board game then i wouldn't have a problem with it
***** i'm sorry but D&D 4.0 should have been marketed as the action board game......not a roleplaying game

este video en verdad esta muy bueno deberian de sacar mas como este
"bring it scruffy!" - tiefling LOL
I play a nasty tiefling ranger and I'm lovin' her!
Adams Phillips You Own! In fact the whole team own! Keep doing the good work!
very well done!
Chaotic style Lava-lanche
BITEYCASTLE! I was suspecting them to be behind this! AWESOME!
I KNEW IT! Adam Philips the creator of Bitey. I knew I saw this animation before! you rock man.
Very nice sketch!
These advertisements were great. If WotC really wants to sell the 2024 edition, they should do something like this.
Christopher Perkins as the Badger Wrangler... SO that's what he does in his spare time!
You kicked the minion! You MONSTER!!!
That was really cute! And pretty darn funny!
I have never played D&D..but I have the books (I love the dragons)
But I am soooo temped to play...I love Tieflings!!!!!
They Rock.
I love the classic Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall magicka noise when she casts the spell at the end. "Hot."
Is it just me or is that gnome the cutest thing since sliced bread?
I so want that Tiefling in my party.
Love the accent too.
amazing art, expressions and lip sync
ggeezzuusss epicly crazy ending :D
loved it :D
I love that Gnome, and but that Tiefling, that Accent is perfect
Gnome was awesome in this!
i just got the handbook and I was looking over the classes and I was like
"OMG they weren't kidding!! the gnomes are gone!!! who's going to protect my garden now?!"
Awesome!!!
Even though my last D&D game was a Gnome character...
Never played D&D, no idea how I arrived here, I didn't understand one word going on in the video, but the badger-kick at the end cracked me up.
Ahhh, slapstick humor. Universally funny.
0:44 aaah, good times
Thx for the advice. i'll give it a shot.
Technically, we’re all in the Monster Manual somewhere.
No one seems to be commenting on the fantastic animation. Adam Phillips is amazing.
LMF'NAO!!! That was awsome! "I have a minion" that killed me.
This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
I think there was a mix between actual Tiefling and the spawn of a demon and prime material being. In 3rd edition you'd roll to see if and how many demonic characterictistics your half demon character would have, these ranging from horns to hooves to wings.
Gnomes are a playable race, there are rules for them in the back of the MM. As for bards, they're on the back burner until PHBII. but there is an article on the WotC site detailing how one can use existing mechanics to recreate the bard.
I so want a Tiefling character now XD
Not bad!! LOL ! The best part was where she flamed the gnome and the interviewer at the end!
Awesome Adams stuff rocks! Go Brackenwood!
Erick Wujcik passed last year. :( He wasn't the creator of Palladium, but he made After the Bomb and TMNT within the Palladium system. He also made Amber Diceless and about five hundred other things too. Kevin Siembieda is the owner and a buddy of mine, and he's still going strong.
