I adore all the uber powerful god monsters not having any saving throw bonuses, legendary resistances, or condition immunities, so any save or suck spell can destroy them
11:50 it actually doesn’t delete it; by default, the homebrew search options are set to not allow you to see anything below -10 ratings, but you can change that to anything in the advanced settings
I loved this. I can't wait for Logan to make the popular variant to The Guy That Gets You, "The Guy That FUCKING Gets You." Their stats are exactly the same, he's just notably more upset.
The Guy that FUCKING Gets You, gets you so well, he understands you at such a fundamental level, that he starts getting angry on your befall because he starts to know things about you that you don't even know, and the more he knows you, the angrier he gets, and the more angry he gets the stronger he grows To defeat him you have yo get him, because if you get him, he will get that you get him, and as thus he will get himself, and stop being angry all the time, making him weaker
I've seen so many "gargantuan swarm off..." monsters that I'm convinced that it's the default on D&D beyond which is stupid because nobody even runs swarm creatures.
Theres one dude who is known for making swarms of high cr monsters lol. He's made quite a few and they get a lot of ratings compared to normal homebrews
Pop culture is kinda using the wrong scythe as a weapon. There is a thing called a war scythe, which is like a farming scythe, but the blade has been changed to be in line with the shaft, basically making it more like a slashing spear with a long blade. Although Death carrying around a farming scythe just for the looks would fit the whole reaper of life thing.
Butterfly: Immune to "Grappled"? The hell it is! My brother once caught one by the wing and brought it inside to show us! You can absolutely grapple a butterfly!
Zues the Goose is actually in a really interesting design space because of the "takes 2x damage from fire". It's interesting because it isn't vulnerable to fire, but has the same effect as vulnerability. I don't think there are any official features that interact with this, but another bit of homebrew might. (I.e. a subclass feature that lets you give vulnerabilities to a creature would allow you to make Zues take 4x fire damage)
I was curious and did the math on the whole universal reset ability. Assuming each living thing does indeed count, (Plants, bacteria, everything.) Given the current state of earth it would take over 32 trillion years to kill all living things. In addition depending on the estimate for the amount of living things on earth, statistically it would take between 500 and 5000 years for the first human to die due to the reset. All assuming the population remains static and does not change.
Honestly metalurgy is so complicated, im sure you COULD make a scythe that held up to what youd be using it for as a weapon, but yes, pretty damn impractical, even if you could get over the blade not holding up.
@@Lickicker There are actually military scythes, but the blade extends forwards from the haft, rather than perpendicular. They are basically bills, but with the inside edge sharp rather than the outside edge.
there were real polearms that were not terribly different from a scyth aside from the blade being smaller, it was called a ge, and they stayed in use for centuries.
Swarm of Krakens is by far my favorite shitposts that I’ve actually seen a couple of times in the DND community, glad to see someone made a terrible stat block for it.
Love how a single crit can kill The Guy That Gets you because he just has 1 HP Also I really respect how you went out of your way to emphasize you understand these people are likely new to the concept of homebrewing and you aren't making fun of them
honestly wanting to get back into dnd but ofc they drop new rulebooks that i won’t be spending $200 on that are also locked behind paywalls digitally. Gonna keep using my 2014 rulebooks lol
@@MerlynMusicman i never trusted and never used DnD Beyond from the outset. I’m the OG beyond hater and now i have actual reason besides my autism prefers using paper because of textures
The idea of a creature that only understands alphabet languages is actually kinda cool. It wouldn’t be able to understand any language without a writing system obviously, but it would also not be able to understand any: abjads, abugidas, etc So like if you spoke arabic around this thing it would be fucked
I like to imagine "Get You" as being ruled "roll every dice within 5ft of the player". Optional rule: If not dead after rolling, roll them again. And at that point if they're alive they're either too new to be a dice goblin, are playing online or are a liar. If the former, they get to live! Yay!
Li'l Angel is actually really good, because it would be a bullshit fight, but i can see it being used by a DM trying to save the party of TPK, but also wants them to know he has saved their bacon, so instead of tweaking dice rolls, they break out the little baby angel that ends the fight in a single turn. Being saved by a baby with wings. When you need to twist the knife in.
I enjoy Jacob's homebrew reaction vids, but I liked this more positive take too. Maybe you could do another handful of videos in this format trying to find hidden gem homebrews on D&D Beyond? There's a lot of stuff that is well written/thought-out on there that doesn't get any attention due to having unique names or one-off creators. I've added tons of '+1-10' upvoted entries for my campaigns and think having a creator spotlight that underappreciated range would be nice, instead of the "tops" and "bottoms" of the list.
The alphabet had some good nuggets. It doesn't speak languages that don't have written forms (and perhaps could be powerless against such peoples, making a particular tribe extremely strong against it), and locking a character out of sentences containing certain letters could be interesting. (If the DM wants to be mean, ban the letter E to cripple communications.) I think it would be neat to see a monster that attacks you with whatever dice you rolled in your last turn. Someone'll have fun trying to game that.
@@Thevilwizard 2nd level artificer can make bags of holding. In the rules it states that if you put an item with extra-dimensional storage inside another similar object (like putting a bag of holding inside a bag of holding), it breaks reality and everything in a 10ft radius is sucked into the astral plane. The unseen servant spell or a familiar can be used to put one bag inside the other at range so the artificer remains safe from unwanted dimensional travel.
Li’l Angel feels like a debug mob who’s only purpose is to just exist in stasis under the map and violently disassemble anybody that glitches out of bounds.
Idea, motherua A creature that starts its combat in a cacconne for a certain number of turns and breaks out to attack the attacking players. You could even start off the encounter with rumors of a massive catapiller eating a bunch of local crops or farm animals. The party tracks down the giant catapiller over a series of film noir style investigations till the layer is found.

Scythes were actually used as a weapon pretty efficiently by peasant militias in Poland, when fighting the Russians, during uprisings. They were used to great effect during suprise attacks. The thing is their blades were put up, like pikes, and could also be used like them, but they were still usefull as cutting weapons (could cut a person in half with a good attack.
Actually, long scythes are the best counter weapons against lances and many kinds of defenses. Since the main attack is when it comes back, quite the opposite to most common weapons. Later they started making tests, created scythe-lance hybrids like the fauchard that gave birth to tons of kinds of polearms. The more you know! :P
Man I really appreciate the intro a lot, I’ve always enjoyed Jacob’s videos looking at people’s creations but some times it just feels a little mean spirited.
I was just stepping out 9f the shower ehen you said you saw me, me specifically. And then we locked eyes. Im sorry, man, I didnt know you could see me.
Not going to lie, the Alphabet monster was by FAR the most creative of these monsters. actually a great concept! I consider throwing it at a murder-hobo party as punishment.
Alphabet comes from alpha beta, and is the equivalent of calling out alphabet the ABC’s, as alpha and beta are the first two letters of the Greek alphabet.
7:04 The idea of Mewtwo, one of the most powerful psychic Pokémon in the world, just carrying around a dagger is just very funny to me for some reason.
Not a lot of weapon proficiencies I take it.
In the manga, he wields a giant spoon.
It's for self defense, just because he can suplex a building with his brain doesn't mean he doesn't need a way to protect himself.
To be fair, if a cat had hands they would most definitely carry a knife at all times.
Mewtwo taking notes from its fellow psychic-type Gallade, I see.
I adore all the uber powerful god monsters not having any saving throw bonuses, legendary resistances, or condition immunities, so any save or suck spell can destroy them
Badly rated homebrew is usually one of the following;
-Some group's inside joke
-Someone shitposting
-Someone's edgy OC
Also
-character from random franchise executed awfully

To everyone saying that Jacob is gonna do something. Your wrong because he's stuck in the mirror.
It was calculated I was there
Least he had enough peeps to run the Tomb of Horrors for there
Actually didn't the mirror get destroyed?
You're*
Yeah, but at the end of the video Jacob was trapped inside a mirror
A boss mechanic where players are supposed to throw stuff on the ground to decrease damage taken by an attack sounds pretty funny to me as a DM

4:35, yes actually! The blade is only on the inside facing towards you, not to mention the blade itself is pretty brittle.
