I actually have a homebrew ruleset for terrain worse than the typical difficult terrain, including very difficult (1/4th movement speed) and extremely difficult (5 feet of movement speed) terrain.
The results are not precise, because the trials lacks some danger to simulate combat situations realisticaly. I recommend you guys to use tigers or bears to simulate enemies.
@@robinstrand3555 Charisma is mine, but I also am on the autism spectrum, so that wasn't really ever in doubt. On the plus side, I have advantage against being charmed, and a natural 1 on contested insight versus deception counts as a natural 20 instead. No joke, my sister tried the updog joke on me, but it failed because I said "Updog? What's that?" So... yeah. I rolled a natural 1 and succeeded.
Next up: Thrown weapon testing (safer because you can use targets other than people!). I want to see darts at 20' and 60' for starters. Maybe use Jarts? I'd also like to see you reload a crossbow in 6 seconds WHILE MOVING!
YES D&D definitely underestimates the true annoyance/danger of bug bites. I once read that mosquitoes are technically the most deadly animal on earth, and I know personally that Lymes disease from ticks is rough
@@BobWorldBuilder I guess when even mid level parties have access to magical disease removal, bug bites are less of an issue. Swarms on the other hand are every bit as difficult to deal with and terrifying as they would be in real life (absent "magical swarm removal" aka fireball)
We had a thing with are DM we fought of birds of orcs and we got all their loot and was like how do you carry all of it so we had to buy a cart which the next adventure put us on a boat
50 gp is one pound in gold. Scale with carrying capacity. Multiply value by 10 with platinum. Divide value by 10 for silver. Gems and art are calculated individually.
You should put together a adventurer's kit simulation that weighs ~80 pounds overall. Military kits for infantry through the ages tend to average out at 80 pounds. This includes things like armor, as well as tools, bedrolls, and more.
That's a cool idea! I think once we do the STR video and see how much "our characters" can carry, we'll try to incorporate some resistance into any other movement videos-- except probably swimming because that would be unnecessarily dangerous!
On the other hand, even first-level martials would be considered world-class athletes, so I think the lack of gear balances out with the lack of physical prowess for these trials.
This was really cool to watch because for someone who has never met with a bog, It is kind of hard to imagine how difficult it is to actually move around in such a terrain, the forest one caught me off guard now I know that forests can also be difficult to travail so thanks for that!
The sand idea, while in execution was unable to provide much resistance, in an actual fight would cause a lot of issues with ground stability and speed loss so I also thought that was an interesting attempt too, at least if the sand area were big enough. I imagine how unbearable a fight in a Sahara desert like place would be (if you’re melee in any capacity at least).
Haha love how you just plucked that player's handbook out of the tree as if it was always there. Also, glad to see you guys having fun with these! It's definitely fun to watch!
2:43 a lot of people also seem to forget it is very easy to move if you're wearing plate armor. Sure it's a bit heavy, but it was designed to give the wearer far more mobility than it lets on
Secret to your increased viewership...Grace. You two together are great and add a fun and humorous vibe to the cool information. I'd love to see a blooper reel after this series of videos. Keep up the incredible videos! And thanks for doing these.
Algorithm bless you I'd love to see concentration checks, instead of spells perhaps something like solving math questions or reciting a poem or other mental task while under various distracting circumstances?
Am I dumb? 30ft movement. Then one 5ft section changes to the cost of 10ft. So of the 6 5ft zones. One of those zones costs 10ft, so 1x10ft and 4x5ft = 30ft, but split into 5 5ft sections meaning you should move 25ft if one 5ft area is difficult (like the incredibly harrowing Grace world destroyer)
"What is this....loot?" I almost spat out my tea XD This was so well done and edited, hilarious! Thankyou for doing this noble research....so we don't have to XD
0:54 I confess: when hearing the squelching and squishing underfoot, I became mortally afraid for that PHB in his hands. Also DANG THAT CICADA THO! He was CLEARLY trying to communicate telepathically but resorted to cicada-ASL.
You guys do a great job of simulating the game to show how "realistic" wizards made their game. Keep up the great work! I can't wait to see all of these.
Your math on the creature spaces is a bit off- the creature’s space would take 10 ft of movement, and there would still be 20 ft left over, but that would be 20 ft on top of the 5 ft space, for 25 ft total (instead of 20 ft). Loved the video!
I'd love to see one that gauges how much a person can say during that 6 seconds of combat. I love the possibility of narrative moments in the middle of combat but I don't want it always to be like a full-blown anime cut scene where characters monologue back and forth. Awesome content, fellow DND friends!
Shoutout to Safety First!! ⛑️⚠️🦺 Great video! It's nice to have a visual reference of someone traversing difficult terrain! I'm a big big fan of this channel, keep it up you two! I'm really glad Grace has been in more videos, her dry humor is a fun complement to Bob being so warm and friendly (Bob Rossoid if you will.) Y'all are cute and I like what you have to say about D&D!
Fun stuff, kinda like Myth Busters. I have always wondered about how much stuff characters can carry and still move around and fight. But remember it's a fantasy game so it can't be too realistic. Keep on with the awesome content.
Dear Algorithm Gods, please accept this sacrificial comment and deliver this video to as many users' feeds as possible. ALSO WE WANT TO SEE CLIMBING & SWIMMING :D
This scared me so much, where I live the wet lands go from 1 Inch deep to super deep and once you get past the knee in that mud, you can’t get out. Oh and leeches. And bacteria. And snakes. And bugs.
Interrupted, fairly appropriately, by an ad that started with "Meanwhile, in a forest not far away..." (or something like that). Looks like you had fun.
I would love to see a video on throwing and jumping. Can a character with only average strength REALLY jump that much further if they take a running start? Also, an episode about mixing movements would be super fun. Can you still go 15 feet in six seconds if you start from prone? If I have a climbing speed and a walking speed, can I scale this wall then walk along the top? I’d love to see more. Keep it up!
We have to say. Great video and we really like how this brings a bit of realistic visual to players and DM. So when people are playing and telling their stories they may have a better image in their mind of what it may or may not look like.
Ok, I just watched a bunch of your videos and came back to this one, the first one of yours to show up. You have some great content! This episode was my favorite so far, so I come back here to comment and subscribe. Love your work Bob, Grace and Stephen, please keep them coming!
So pleased you did this! Now you just need to test it with a cranberry farmer, clam digger, or - dare I say - park ranger that is proficient at walking at mud, to see if they can do any better :D
Uploaded 23 hours ago...yes! Made the like video window! Nice pickup on the making an attack while moving and threatened squares rules. Seeing how it affected movement, I wonder if bearing a shield make movement more inhibited or not much difference. I feel like it should.
Going waaay off topic here, but I'm super fucking envious of Grace and Bob's hair. Y'all are majestic as fuck~. I've been growing mine out for like a year and a half now and it's barely past my shoulders.
Haha, well Grace's has reached like terminal limits because it no longer seems to grow, and I'm probably going to keep mine where it's at because long hair can be annoying, but growing it out is a fun journey! Stay strong!
*snorts in nerd* Umm actually 🤓 by PHB rules "you can move through a hostile creature's space only if the creature is at least two sizes larger or smaller than you." Please redo with larger world destroyer. Alternatively, you could use the Tumbling rules from the DMG - this I would also like to see 😋
Another great one guys! Really enjoying the dynamic between all of you. Well placed ad even lol. Perhaps an encumbrance video? Or a ranged weapon effective distance video (I feel like it would have to involve a 3rd party, and might take away from the allure)? I know you guys will keep making these, well, I hope you will.

I definitely want to try ranged weapons because I have some background in archery. And encumbrance might be on the way too! The next one is testing our STR scores, and now that we have them, we could potentially revisit movement with encumbrance in mind!

Casting while moving. Casting is always a weird thing to determine exactly how it happens, but if a character is reading or performing specific kinds of somatic components that seems kinda tough.
@@SpookyGhostIsHere In Pathfinder 1E if your a bard, or the like you can't cast while doing a performance to buff your allies. Thats why most players get the Lingering Performance feat that way you can stop and your performance, and it lingers for three more rounds. Allowing you to do more things in combat.
Man, how did I just find your channel? You guys seem like the exact flavor of nerd that I love and want to hang out with. Looking forward to more videos.
Just leaving a comment so TH-cam like this a lot more so we can get 2.000 likes in 24 hours, for the next part! The climbing is gonna end up really wrong tho XD
Bob...youre very informative and funny, camera guy too....I've checked the comments on several videos and can't believe no one has said it...Grace is the best lol feature her more prominently get more likes and what not just saying
2:43 Armor limits mobility only in mud or sand, because the weight makes you sink into it more quickly. On any solid surface you can run and jump around in full plate armor (20 kg) as if it wasn´t there, you will only get tired sooner because of it.
I saw the cicada, and IMMEDIATELY knew that it was brood x. I went up to Virginia with my family recently for a wedding, and they were EVERYWHERE. They kept flying into the sides of the car. Creepy little orange and black halloween bugs.
If you guys want to simulate swords instead of using sticks you could use pool noodle (or pipe insulation foam or camp mat) and pvc pipe (kites bar or golf club) to make a boffer...there may be a LARP group like HFS or Amtgard that could help
@@BobWorldBuilder If I may make a suggestion for a possible future video. Jumping height/distance to demonstrate just how insanely far someone is able to leap with magical buffs as compared to a normal human jump.
Having done a fair amount of hiking, I can confidently state that roads and tracks are fantastic for maintaining pace, while trying to find your own track can really slow you down, especially for a novice at it. And don't even think about going fast over trackless razorback ridges while wearing a backpack (5 of us made 3 miles in 4 hours over some truly heroic scenery, and we were fit and carrying "only" 40lbs each max).
Good luck dashing in the water one, though. I swear water has a HARD CAP on how fast you can go. Because the faster you try to go, the more it fights back.
As much as you could point out the lack of anything like armour and equipment, the act of doing calculated actions while also moving in that 6-second timeframe, etc, the fact you folks can get through this difficult terrain pretty casually makes it easy for me to imagine a character acting in the moment of life-or-death combat who would be doing everything with their full energy, speed, and focus. Not to mention that they wouldn't mind getting splashed by bog water ;)
I love this whole idea. I write RP systems and I always wonder about things like this and if they are grounded in anything even remotely realistic. so this is fun.
I'm sure that if you look up your local SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) group, they could help to outfit you with some armor and gear, if you really want to test that way. Plus, armor is WAY easier to wear and move in than most people realize without having done it. It really doesn't restrict your movement that much, and it definitely isn't heavy enough to slow you down much.
You both have great personalities. I firmly believe that’s true about most D&D players. Our group represents the best people I know (but I’m obviously partial LOL)
Simulate fighting in a crowded tight space like a tavern. Its so loud and hectic no one notices the 2 people silently trying to stab each other amongst the crowded bar floor, trying to hold your footing while being bumped into random patrons.

Man, how did I just find your channel? You guys seem like the exact flavor of nerd that I love and want to hang out with. Looking forward to more videos.
This is such a fun idea! Can’t wait to see where you guys go with this 😊
Thank you! In the latest one, we just tested our STR scores, and it was as silly as you can imagine!
Climbing!!! Swimming!!!
Love these kind of videos.
Also my kids aren't sure you are real.
They've seen me!!
I love vids when grace is in them. She is lovely.
Just leaving a comment so TH-cam like this a lot more so we can get 2.000 likes in 24 hours, for the next part! The climbing is gonna end up really wrong tho XD
Thank you! I'm so excited for climbing haha
@@BobWorldBuilder Good luck xD
Bob...youre very informative and funny, camera guy too....I've checked the comments on several videos and can't believe no one has said it...Grace is the best lol feature her more prominently get more likes and what not just saying
Haha yeah she's the best and she's gradually becoming more involved in the videos :)
This series introduced me to your channel, this is really cool. KEEP IT UP😊
Woo! Check out the new video where we tried calculating our STR scores :)
2:43 Armor limits mobility only in mud or sand, because the weight makes you sink into it more quickly. On any solid surface you can run and jump around in full plate armor (20 kg) as if it wasn´t there, you will only get tired sooner because of it.
Obviously, difficult terrain is a spectrum ...
Bingo!
I saw the cicada, and IMMEDIATELY knew that it was brood x. I went up to Virginia with my family recently for a wedding, and they were EVERYWHERE. They kept flying into the sides of the car. Creepy little orange and black halloween bugs.
I was wondering when this was filmed right up until the moment the cicada showed up.
If you guys want to simulate swords instead of using sticks you could use pool noodle (or pipe insulation foam or camp mat) and pvc pipe (kites bar or golf club) to make a boffer...there may be a LARP group like HFS or Amtgard that could help
this is the level of production i want to see out of youtube. answering the real questions!
totally worth a like
Thank you!
Can't wait for the Underwater movement and combat showcase haha!
That will be at the end of the series right before fall damage
@@BobWorldBuilder yay fall damage please do it
@@BobWorldBuilder just don't try out the lava damage one, that may sting a bit haha
If this get popular enough you could also test fall damage show what each damage incament looks like I don't know how but it would be cool
Yeah some kind of HP test seems necessary haha
@@BobWorldBuilder You could probably test object hp and weapon damage at the same time, then use the same object for fall damage.
Loved this video. Liked and Subscribed! Thanks guys. Looking forward to strength checks.
Really appreciate your support! We hoping to film STR scores this weekend :)
@@BobWorldBuilder If I may make a suggestion for a possible future video. Jumping height/distance to demonstrate just how insanely far someone is able to leap with magical buffs as compared to a normal human jump.
Having done a fair amount of hiking, I can confidently state that roads and tracks are fantastic for maintaining pace, while trying to find your own track can really slow you down, especially for a novice at it. And don't even think about going fast over trackless razorback ridges while wearing a backpack (5 of us made 3 miles in 4 hours over some truly heroic scenery, and we were fit and carrying "only" 40lbs each max).
I too will go into the wetlands in search of dscrybe loot
6:49 don't do this at home!
Good luck! haha
I hope this got to the goal. I'd love to see more!
Good luck dashing in the water one, though. I swear water has a HARD CAP on how fast you can go. Because the faster you try to go, the more it fights back.
That red winged black bird twittering and whirring in the background deserves a co-star credit tbh
i was really hoping for the fireball spell to be used while moving... =P still liked thou
Hahah that's not in the budget yet
@@BobWorldBuilder ill take that as a "we will do it soon." =)
Thanks to TH-cam for suggesting this! I was edu-tained to the max!
When Bob and grace pivot to dnd Mythbusters
Great job! You guys really bring it and put D&D terms to life.
I love how happy you guys seem to be.
As much as you could point out the lack of anything like armour and equipment, the act of doing calculated actions while also moving in that 6-second timeframe, etc, the fact you folks can get through this difficult terrain pretty casually makes it easy for me to imagine a character acting in the moment of life-or-death combat who would be doing everything with their full energy, speed, and focus. Not to mention that they wouldn't mind getting splashed by bog water ;)
The amount of work put into this video is actually incredible!
I love this whole idea. I write RP systems and I always wonder about things like this and if they are grounded in anything even remotely realistic. so this is fun.
I'm sure that if you look up your local SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) group, they could help to outfit you with some armor and gear, if you really want to test that way. Plus, armor is WAY easier to wear and move in than most people realize without having done it. It really doesn't restrict your movement that much, and it definitely isn't heavy enough to slow you down much.
The cicada was my favorite part 🥺💕 how cute
You both have great personalities. I firmly believe that’s true about most D&D players. Our group represents the best people I know (but I’m obviously partial LOL)
liked and subbed, this is great. And I never knew you could move through an opponent or friendly characters square
this is great, can't wait for the next one!!
Thanks! Next we're actually going to be figuring out our STR scores :)
Simulate fighting in a crowded tight space like a tavern. Its so loud and hectic no one notices the 2 people silently trying to stab each other amongst the crowded bar floor, trying to hold your footing while being bumped into random patrons.
