Make your own D&D character for free on Reroll here!: reroll.co/
Too bad you don't have a bitchute Channel or put videos on other platforms besides twitch, TH-cam or Facebook. I say this because I'm getting tired of them and I'm preparing to leave them. Especially now that the TH-cam app has pretty much done away with the option to stop the auto-play. They've made it mandatory in their app on the phone. This really irks me.
Please, add your videos on other platforms that support free speech and choose not to censor opinions that don't align with whatever the current political narrative is.
Inevitables
are basically the previliged thugs of the divine ruling class.
Finally a sponsor that interests me! This looks real interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Sweet! I always wanted my own Dead Cells character
When you become a lich only to be spawn camped by a Marut
They'll smash the phylactety first.
@@zacharyhawley1693 aah but they have their quirks. Can you imagine if the first lich they kill didn't have one and just dies, so the Marut assumes that they just die once you kill them enough? Eternally tortured by a Marut who thinks he doesn't need to find your phylactory lmao
@@sabastianbishop4264 or all of them assume they have a backup so when a Lich actually dies it'll just spend eternity in an empty room smashing a table with nothing on it
Check out kolbold press and the clockwork warlock.
This is why Liches need their legions of powerful undead, yo
> Marut randomly enters the plane of negative energy
> Doom's heavy metal music begins
Primus: "Rip and tear. Until it is done!"
And then 5 minutes later, its the power rangers, death frog edition
Not the Abyss?
@@SayuriMiki nope (you clearly do not get the joke)
Only problem is with the implication that an Inevitable does anything randomly.
Warlock: *murders indiscriminately*
Murut: I sleep
Cleric: *doing his job in an adventuring party*
Murut: So you have chosen death
Lol!
Yes they dont care about good or evil. Only the law of the planes of existence.
Party: "And how can we be sure that you'll keep your word?"
Archfay: "Because if I don't a robot will come and beat me up."
Fey was the worst choice you could have choosen for your example... they literally can't lie
@@snowman9631hags are fey an they lie
@@snowman9631sounds like cap but ok, I don’t have my monster manual with me right now
LOL 🤣
WIth an accent from the ancient, lost world and sphere of Terra known as 'Austrian'.
When you mess up in the Outher Planes and a Giant Robot sends you with a punch to a Ace Attorney Episode.
Inevitable Turnabout
"I am inevitable " purple inevitable circa 2020
I am inevitable, AND Iron Man.
I came to say that, but you beat me to it.
More like circus cause he's a clown hahaaaa jk 👀
"I am Iron Man" -some Artificer
I am also inevitable.
The inevitables sound like it started as a parody of rules lawyers. They adhere only to RAW then go into observation mode when there's nothing to argue about.
Tbh I feel the best rules lawyers do what they do to both themself and other party members, both for the benefit and detriment of those involved, such that rules are consistently followed no matter the feelings.
If it was a real rule lawyer, they would think they know what is RAW but would actually be wrong lol.
@@talesofthedice6951 lol no
Wait why does my "Chaotic Neutral" party suddenly have so many of these things after them?
cause they are actually Chaotic Evils
@@HeartYgo (That was obviously the joke he was making.)
Well maybe if the bard would stop shouting, "I SWEAR ON MY LIFE" at the oathbreaker paladin they could stop needing to talk to these things in every city they go to.
Really like that waiting for a lich idea. Sounds like a fun encounter for the party to meet a Marut who is just waiting for a lich to appear
There's two statues outside the Lich's tomb, scribed to be awaiting for his reappearance, and it's told like some kind of esoteric story, but then the Lich awakens and they actually wake up.
*meanwhile in some random seedy Tavern*
guard: so you promise to get me that ring of strength in a week, right?
thief: of course I do! I swear on my mum!
*one week later, the ring wasn't delivered.*
kolyarut: someone's gonna need to add "mother was murdered" to their backstory soon
Didn't swear on his mum's life.
You have committed crimes against Skyrim and her people, what say you in your defense?
I’m with the guild how about you look the other way (689) gold
@@empirepolice8313 alright, just get out of here quickly before I change my mind.
689 gold removed
Rrrruuuuuuunnnn
According to my 1st DM who was already playing for years when 3e came out, the Inevitables were originally made to reign in out of control players who were gaming the rules.
Your coverage of their in game niche was great but I really feel like it pales in comparison to their meta purpose.
There are already enough ways to achieve true immortality that their meta purpose seems kind of pale anyway. What's the point of becoming a lich if you can just live forever the way Halaster and the lads do it?
@@Reddotzebra idk who Halastar is but as he described, it is more about spamming raise dead or wish like you are playing a video game and other disruptive or problematic behaviors at the table.
@@UltraDonny5000 halaster is an ancient imaskari wizard who is bound to undermoutain. (He went insane though, so not a great way to live forever)
@@Reddotzebra Halaster’s source of immortality is rather unique. Which is probably why there are so many evil wizards trying (and failing) to learn how he did it.
@@SuperCuriousFox They are all incompetent though. Obviously nobody would come up with it before my character does.
And naturally that is only the first step of his plan to usurp the powers of Overgod from that dried up old prune.
Basically a Terminator hunting a target down.
Yes.
Had a player back in 3.5 ask me if his character could build one of these, because "They are constructs, some wizard has to be making them."
I thought Moradin was the one that made them.
@@marmyeater
I'm pretty sure the Dimension kinda spawns them, like with most things in the planes.
@@mikhielbluemon4213 Um, no.
@@marmyeater
How not? It's simply an educated guess based on where most thing's that aren't naturally birthed come from.
@@mikhielbluemon4213 Did you not watch the video? The plane doesn't just spawn them in any version of the story. They are purposefully made in the forge, which was made to make them by one god or another: Primus, Mystra, Moradin, etc.
for some reson i just imagened playing a warforged warlok with an Inevitable as its patrion XD
yoooooooooooo it would be really cool
Wouldn't it be a clockwork sorcerer i feel like that better
Yea Clockwork Sorcerer of any canon race would make more sense than Warforged anything
Warforged clockwork sorcerer
@@TheArachnidCompany clockwork sorc would work well for a sorc with the spirit of an Inevitable, but there isn't a great official warlock patron that would fit an Inevitable, which kinda makes sense: they don't give power because they don't need deputies.
These guys must be busy as hell in the D&D realms.
That is kinda my problem with them, you’re right they should be busy, how many Lichs are there in the Forgotten Realm? How many of those Lichs have been killed by an Inevitable? You can’t have Inevitables deal with Villains or else you wouldn’t have high level adventures, but if the Player Characters do something that the Inevitables don’t like then the Inevitables will be on the PCs’ case, because that actually results in conflicts and story. They’re a tool that never gets used because they’d just solve all problems in the universe.
@@InquisitorThomas For myself, I find the best is a middle ground. As far as I can tell, with the exception of the ones who defend gods, the inevitables do not automatically know where their targets are. Nor can they instantly transport themselves to it. I find it very likely that in most cases, adventurers and such deal with most problems before inevitables can get involved. Another thing to note is that an overly literal reading of their roles might be the most accurate. For example, with the ones that track down Liches, it says they hunt those who unnatually extend their life. So would one be sent out immediately once a lich is made? Or would it only go once the creature has lived past what would be its natural lifespan? A human might normally live for 80 ish years but surely human druids and monks won't be hunted down for having timeless body? So, by how much must a creature exceed their lifespan in order to draw the attention of an inevitable? Respecting the time it takes for inevitables to do their job, as well as the difficulty in stoping threats of that strength leaves a lot of time for adventurers to do their job and still helps trend the planes towards balance. Maybe the lich hunters only step in after 1000 years, plenty enough time for them to destroy everything the PCs know and love, but still eventually bringing order. Not to mention that creatures of chaos might be partial to messing with them and eating their time.
@@InquisitorThomas The best solution is that their line of work is very difficult as "@De-eggs of De-Carton" said, coupled with extreme rarity. Still, it doesnt feel right to have such a powerful force that always wins, especially when it gets involved in little stuff.
@@De-eggs i suppose there are exceptions for certain creatures and classes, because druids and monks do it All naturally, certain elves can live a lot longer than other's, and litches are really good at hiding anyway hence the existence of vecna and acerak
@@InquisitorThomas I've always felt that there are few of these inevitables. Perhaps 4-6 of the most to 1 or 2 of the least.. They cover every relm of existance. That's a lot of freaking space for them to cover.
The ‘Inevitable’ are fun to spring on a mid-level adventuring party. I recently dragged a player in my Eberron campaign to Daanvi to give testimony in the Hall of Justice, overseen by a triumvirate consisting of a celestial, a fiend, and a kolyarut.
So the "warforged knight" at 16:35 is actually art of the human paladin iconic from Pathfinder 1e with a inevitable head photoshopped on.
Just thought it was funny
Nice catch!
"I am... inevitable."
"You wish, meatbag"
-Actual Inevitable... probably.
Get in line.
So Ugandan knuckle Jesus is inevitable... why do I even try to resist?
At first, I thought "The Inevitables" was the name of the High-Fantasy Equivalent of the Avengers or the Justice League.
That their two-story size space Marines I'm guessing from the picture lol
Which picture? Because the Thumbnail isn’t an Inevitable, it’s a Warforged Titan.
Semper Fi
So the Knights?
Lol
Man, these guys must be fun at parties.
Degenerates always say that about men of principle, to the point that when I hear it said about someone I consider it a character reference.
Edit: someone just said I must be fun at parties, I'm so proud
@@angrygardengnome8383 man, you must be fun at parties.
And thus, the natural order of the internet continues...
Technically an inevitable could be made for party etiquette: make sure there's plenty of food and drinks, book entertainment, hold the hair back for people that need to vomit, drive people to any necessary locations (home, hospital, other parties if people want to go party hopping); the more I think about it the more they sound like a total bro.
@@marmyeater so while not fun, they are great company nonetheless.
What if some wizard just made a ton of clones and always, when dying of old age reassembles in a new body? Is that a case for a marut?
He's still fleeing his natural end. So yes he's attempting to avoid his death. The only way to lawfully escape is to become truly immortal or become a god.
That would depend if it was the same soul inhabiting a new body every time, or if it was just memories that were being copied and each clone had its own soul that passes on when they die. The first situation would be a clear case of violating the natural process of life and death. The second is just creating new life before you die and therefore doesn't unbalance the universe. Although, if its the second method, expect at least one of those clones to have an identity crisis eventually.
@@H240909
tldr; both can happen but Option A is much more likely
it would almost certainly be the first case as elves literally exist as a combination of memories and their soul. In D&D, memory often equals soul. Although option 2 could totally be possible, although it would be as you stated and there is much less desire for doing so.
@@topogigio7031 Though I think Reincarnation is still fine.
@@zacharyhawley1693
I may need to hit that wish spell and swipe some sweet Immortality as a reserve function.
Husband and Wife: till death do us part.
Husband 5 years later: "I'm going out for milk."
Kolyarut: "looks like I have to kill this one"
In Eberron, you run into an Inevitable beating on a door of a stronghold because the Artificer inside manage to figure out how to turn himself mechanical. This after saving a pliant vampire Drow from yet another one in an earlier questline.
Imagine being that lich for a minute.
"Ah 500 years... Such a good nap, let's see what's up...
Wait where the giant death Robot come from!?
No!!"
Not like it's much of an issue, no litch would be sitting around for 500 years "sleeping" they literally became undead so they don't have to bother with that kind of nonsense.
Besides that a liches phylactery would be hidden away and a lich reforms near it phylactery not next to where ever it died.
Not only that a marut wouldn't have a hope in stopping a demi-lich. CR 21+ at minimum with a phylactery and 8+ soul stones And hordes of powerful undead at it command. The marut is doomed.
@@yawnos
Ah yes the little, adorable demi litch that thinks they're 1,000 steps ahead of everything even a god millions if not billions of years old or even older than time (for mortals and uppity litchs comprehension) itself.
It's all fun and games until Kolyaruts came knocking on your door and asking you "Did you do your X?"
This new Incredibles sequel sounds lit.
The Incredibles meet The Expendables in the most ambitious crossover of the decade . . . The Inevitables!
My favorite part of the dnd cosmology is their emphasis on how law is not necessarily good, and chaos is not necessarily evil. I can't wait for more on that in ur outer planes videos
Wow, 0 dislikes? I've never been this early before. Hope it stays that way.
How did Vecna avoid these damn things. Thats something I want to know now, that I know about them more
He became a god, and once you successfully become a deity the maruts and other inevitables see you as part of the natural order and not a violation of it so they stop going after you
I felt it in the ether. A Rhexx video was made so I used a wish.
If you want immortality just stay in the astral plane. Jeez
more like eternal life but close enough
@@hugofontes5708 those are technically the same based off one of the versions of immortality.
Or just use Clone, or be a druid (nothing a druid does is unnatural). The old Marut lore makes no sense. Acererak is CR20 in 5e, but no Marut has taken him out. Also Cyric has broken reality twice, and only got a time-out for it (and only after the second time).
There is a six type of Inevitable, it is mentioned in the 3.5E sourcebook Sandstorm. It's purpose is to protect the purity of natural deserts and wastelands and to punish those who would try and change the wasteland by farming, irrigation, etc. They are called Anhydruts (a.k.a. Waste Crawlers).
so... specific
You can't imagine how excited i am when he said "this going to be a kick ass episode"
I love "Languages: ALL" XD
Most high ranking celestials have the ability to speak all languages, so these inevitables are some kind of cyborg angels.
No, just constructs.
A marut speaking common, then suddenly switching to japaniese "mezametamae waga aruji tachi yo..." more Inevitables spawn and pose.
Attacks :automatic hit is the much less amusing quirk
Now I have to add two characters to my next DnD game. A Revenant and a Marut as a buddy cop duo. The Revenant on a mission of revenge and a Marut on a mission to kill the revenant in the most logical way possible, by helping it get revenge.
That'd be way cool
So basically HK-47 is the inevitable of Star Wars once his assassination protocol is invoked 🤔
HK could stand for Hunter Killer.
@@spookstermcbone2772 that's because it does
MrRhexx: this
Everyone: The *_what_*
... You really should be aware of most of this if you've done your due diligence and read the book to play.
@@topogigio7031 ah yes, everyone should have bought and read the tome of foes
@@evantyler8647 or the monster manual, which is required for play.
Stop defending your laziness.
@@evantyler8647 the extreme entitlement of demanding a game make its rules around you as you play because you refuse to be respectful is insane. Gtfo poser
@@topogigio7031 monster manual is not required to play, PHB and DMG are enough for low level games
"What they dont tell you about the inevitables" that thanos is the leader?
More like an initiate.
Ironically, he'd be a target for messing with reality and playing god.
nice
@@zacharyhawley1693 idk i dont think he would. He broke no laws of nature or any contracts, nor did he desire godhood as he broke the stones afterwards. That's MCU thanos tho, comic thanos would def be on their radar.
@@sabastianbishop4264 That really just isn't true at all. An inevitable would consider the power he wields the province of gods, his stated goals (in both eradication of half of all life and the rebirth of the plane under his rule) a usurping of natural order and an effort at divine apotheosis respectively. He'd have multiple inevitables on his ass (Which he would probably just best because Thanos is broken.)
These guys seem to only exist as tools for DMs to "rocks fall, everyone dies" their players when they make the campaign go off the rails. Otherwise, there should be _way_ less adventure-starting conflicts in settings with them if they're really doing/good at their jobs.
It sounds like a good idea for a lvl20 campaign to play an order domain cleric warforged as an inevitable
Edit :also I imagine making a random encounter where the group is chilling at the side of a beach and a marut casually walks out of the ocean and towards the ominous mountain the tavern owner warned the party against
You always post exactly what I need when I need it. One of my chaotic players is bent on becoming a new god of chaos and now I know how to deal with it.
The Inevitables: "Dead or alive, you're coming with me!!"
6:10 Whenever there's a deviation between D&D lore and Realms lore default to D&D lore and assume that the Realm's writers are twisting things to make their shitty setting more relevant.
Good episode bro, ive been deeling with a week long depressive episode and your videos are really helping me, ur the man
I started reading about The Inevitables yesterday for a character backstory and here you are uploading this. Unreal!
100% Badasses but 110% Killjoys.
The way Maruts develop "quirks" based off what they experienced reminds me of when you program an AI. You feed an AI bad data and you get bad results
Loved this video. You consistently put out some of the best D&D content on TH-cam. Kudos!
Ill turn you to a lich, just to spawn camp you
I'm so glad I found your channel and this video. I read about inevitables in my sister's 3.5 splat books once years ago and they stuck well in my head, and I've used them in games, but have never been able to find reference material about them
I absolutely love your videos man! I really hope keep the content keeps coming on TH-cam.
*your
My goodness... the timing for this channel is absolutely fantastic. I think I just rewrote my penultimate BigBad for this Saturdays game based on this vid. Thank you again!
Hey, just wanted to say, your work is amazing, thank you for your videos!

Inevitables are absolutely one of my favorite monsters. Thank you for the awesome content man!
Inevitables (besides Kobolds) are my favorite monsters. I had a Kolyarut in my 3.5 game that became mutually attached to my party. They were tasked with escorting him back to his forge in Nirvana. I had an Aperture Science themed dungeon planned, with elaborate puzzles. Sadly, the pandemic canceled my game 😔
You should make a video about the Elder Evils, theres a Kolyarut that helps one of them.

This gave me an awesome idea for a Warforged Paladin!!!! Great vid.
Excellent video as always mr. Rexx!
Another one to add details to my campaign! TY!
Loved the video keep up the great work!
You forgot the anhydruts the inevitables of natural order. A friend wrote a city of mages in the middle of the desert constantly being attacked by robot scorpions after they used a decanter of endless water as well as other spells to tera-form the area to be livable, probably the only reason I even know about them.
They dislike decanters of endless water in general, you wouldn't believe how angry they get when you magically create a dam at the entrance to a dungeon or ten and then lead with a wall of water, if you're a druid you can also do some downright obscene things with lower level spells and that thing. It's probably the magic item that most DMs have removed from the random drop table in games I've been in.
I even created an amphibious mage entirely built around the decanter and various wall spells, and after the fifth mass drowning incident he was mysteriously transformed to scorpion chow.
Just wanted to say you are the man. Whenever I'm doing something random around the house I love to listen to this series. I've watched you go from pretty low views to climbing higher and higher. Keep it up bro! Us geeks gotta stick together haha.
Hiya! Love your content - Art of Mike Disney introduced me to you, tons of fascinating information - thank you!
Always love them as they are one of the best extraplanar plot devices a GM can use!
Great video as usual, Rhexx, I learned something more that I will certainly use.
Oh heck yeah, I’ve been using reroll for a while. I absolutely love it and I can’t wait for them to come out with more customisations. Especially more spell effects
Literally just last night I wondered if the laws of the DnD universe (like Gravity, Time, Taxes) have their own "Godlike" personas.
Usually i'm not really a fan of ads, but i'm super excited reroll sponsored you because I was trying to find something exactly like it!
Very entertaining.. thank you MrRhexx
I actually think this is a great challenge for a character trying to attain godhood. I'd love to see my party trying to argue with these things and find loopholes!
Never heard of em in this context. Thanks for the video!!
God I have been craving another one of your videos on this
Gonna make these cats a big part of my homebrew we just started playing. Thanks!
thanks for the new vid Rhexx
I used an inevitable a while ago, running 3.5. I never thought I'll hear about those in a youtube video. Respect.
*wakes up as a lich*
*looks up in horror as they are met by the hammer blow of a sigmarine*
Currently making a homebrew world and these guys have been slated to be of major importance in two of the outer planes. This is a good video to get on my feed.
Hey MrRhexx! Just wanna say that I have fun watching your dnd videos with the dragons being among my favorite. In fact, I even came up with a campaign story I'd love to try if you'd like to hear it.
I have plans to introduce inevitables soon this is a super helpful video to round out my knowledge, thanks!
These guys got nothing on me. I am the true inevitable.
You've got so many time and space violations man
They're coming for you
But they are also Iron Man.
Yeah you certainly are, it's inevitable that these guys are coming for you for all your violations 🤣
This is so useful as In my campaign i have one character trying to kill and become a god and another becoming a litch.
Can’t wait to see you cover the goblinoids
Pathfinder expanded the ranks of the inevitables greatly; furthermore, there's one D&D inevitable! They're from the Sandstorm supplement for 3.5 and deal with climates and atmospheres. They're also one of the few non-Epic creatures with an Epic (ie, level 10 or higher) spell as an innate spell-like ability
"If you try to kill a god they show up"
I think its kinda obvious who they TRULY work for.
13:47 I didn't know Thanos was a part of any D&D lore. That's awesome! Ahahaha
I dont even play dnd but I've binged all your dnd videos. Mostly for the lore im prolly never going to play but still very interesting
Great content, huge fan Mr rhexx, me and my sister watch your videos together keep up thee good work
This is very cool!
Wow I will definitely use these in my icewind Dale game when the party tries to kill Auril
Why do people always try to mess with deities anyway? Didn't they learn from when Mystra had her little hissy fit and took away everyone's toys?
given that the Great Modron March was mentioned in the Monster Manual and was referenced in Out of the Abyss, I'd say that it's possible that a Modron campaign revolving around the Great Modron March could exist for 5e.
"right after our sponsor" *proceed unskippable annoying ads for things I will never use* *back to video* oh reroll I see.
Double dipping with ads and sponsors is fun time
Imagine getting punch, and then the next moment, you're in front of some judge, literally comic levels of law.
I mean Modron's go rogue. Imagine how dangerous a rogue Inevitable could be
I reckon that's why they have to be memory wiped and whatnot
“Chaos... is... a natural aspect of... reality?...
...
...
Now enforcing the natural order.”
oh my god YES REROLL!! backed it from kick starter!!!
I love Inevitables since the 3rd ed Monster Manual, really missed them in 5th.
