    Every time I listen to this and get to firbolgs, I remember the sheer confusion I caused in my party by playing a stereotypically-druid-like, hippy, nature-loving firbolg, who just so happened to be an artillerist and rather enjoyed taking any chance he could to pull out his eldritch cannon (we named it Edward)

    Commenting this under as many videos as I can in hopes JoCat will see it: Thank you for jumpstarting my love of D&D. Thank you for creating endlessly entertaining content that is easily accessible to all demographics. Thank you for making me laugh. When I have a bad day I often rewatch your videos just so I can smile again. I’m so sad to see you go but I completely understand why. I only hope life offers you peace because we live in an increasingly divided age where empathy and compassion are considered to be weak. Please never forget to be true to yourself because only you can define who you are. Never stop making the charming artwork that only you can create and keep being awesome. If you ever come back I will be your first subscriber. Thank you for everything and best of luck going forward. You will be missed.

    So I took a look at Aasimar yesterday and learned that Dark Aasimar isn't even the most edgy option for them. There's a subrace called Aasimar Scourge who are so overflowing with light they burn themselves alive. Whenever you activate your angel powers you deal half your level in radiant damage to yourself and everyone around you *every single turn*. The flavor text literally says that light pours out of your eyes and mouth. It's metal as fuck.

      @@Someone-sq8im I mean yes, that's part of it, but a lot of people tend to overlap the race discrepancy with one in social status (ie "my mother was a queen, my father was a farmer" in this video; Pathfinder's iconic magus, who was the child of a human noblewoman and an eleven bandit; or Critical Role's Vax and Vex, who came from "a chance encounter between elven royalty and human peasantry"), hence my desire to have a character whose parents, while having different occupations, occupy the same social stratum.

      This is one of the reason's that, although I was late to find this series, I was immediately drawn to JoCat's videos. He hides so much in them, you have to freeze frame all the time to get it all.
      I think wizard was the third one I saw (which was awesome cause I already knew about Zee for quite some time) and I quickly saw the pro/con list as just being a bunch of hilarious - but true - descriptions of wizards hidden in a frame so quick that if you didn't pause it you couldn't possibly take it all in.
