With the head of Vecna, I’d just check and see if the head has two eyes. If it does, it’s obviously not Vecna, because the Eye of Vecna is a separate artifact
And even if it was Vecna, you could get 2 eyes of Vecna out of it rather than a risky head transplant that probably wipes your consciousness out even when successful
After the Druid died and the party that was spreading the rumor found his body, they realized they made that mistake and removed one of the eyes before the other party could find it like that and realize it was a trick.
The player who thought she was a half-orca is almost definitely the same player who thought the spell “Turn Undead” was basically a zombie disguise, and tried to use it to talk to a group of zombies 😂
If I were DM-ing those, for the Half-Orca thing, I would just roll with it and tell her that I misunderstood and we'll have to change some things on her sheet later, meanwhile just 'borrow' and re-flavor other racial feats and abilities. For the 'Turn Undead' thing, I'd explain what it actually did, but also explain that they can attempt to disguise themselves as a zombie WITHOUT a spell or ability, but have to make a check.
That's so cute oh my god ❤ Our 'Turn Undead' misunderstanding was making zombies back into corpses; so turning undeads back to dead-dead, probably a misunderstanding stemming from a language barrier. My friend was confused why a cleric/priest had necromancy skills and that was very logical
@@ScoutA.Mellivora What they mean is that cats, and therefore Tabaxi (depending on how hard we're going on feline biology in a given setting), are obligate carnivores, meaning that their bodies are physically incapable of digesting plant matter as a primary source of food, and MUST eat meat/animal products. Some plant is fine, even helpful, but not as a primary energy source, as their bodies are quite literally not equipped to handle large amounts of plant matter (psst this is also why "vegan cat diets" are a dangerous abusive scam, and anyone trying to sell you on it is either a sadistic asshole or a complete moron).

The "turncoat" haste trick is one of the cleverest d&d stories I've *_ever_* heard. And I started playing with the white box. The Head of Vecna is a d&d gag going back decades.
Ranger in our group rolled nat1 on investigation drinking a shifty healing potion and becomes a sheep for an hour, in a vampires castle with about a hundred vampire spawn. We start throwing the sheep through the door before us and one time we threw him through the door and we hear a “What the f-ck?!” Before he transforms back to human and does 43 damage to each spawn with his bow after nat20 dex check for confusion
My Paladin has a sword called Mercy. Probably because you should probably pray for mercy, cuz if she cuts you down, your soul is sent to the Matron of Death’s domain and you can only be revived by a wish spell. My Paladin can also see souls with her in her care. Don’t mess with Therfyire and Mercy. That sword belonged to her deceased father.
My paladin had a sword which he called "Binding Arbitration." You weren't going to file any complaints after he invoked it, that's for sure. The only way to play Lawful Good is as a canon lawyer.
Other clever names for your weapon: Kindness (kill them with "Kindness") Dignity ("At least allow me to die with Dignity") Due Process ("You can't arbitrarily kill me without Due Process") The Pen (It's just as mighty as your sword... because they're one in the same)
@@davidperte62 Yes some info! Ok ok here some questions *ahem* Do I need to schedule when to play with other people? How long does "matches" last? Please rate DnD's difficultness 1-10 and why is it in that rate. What is a suitable role for a newbie like me? I hope you can answer some of these questions. I REALLY wanna try DnD!
@@kabinet4369 @Kabinet 1. Yes but having access to basically all people in the world makes it easier to find the right table to match your schedule 2. Session length can differentiate in base of how the DM runs things, some do 2-3 hours while other can go to 8, it's all stuff you have to talk to the DM about 3. Learning D&D 5e is not a very difficult task, you can very well learn by playing the game without reading past the basic rules and if you have questions, just ask someone mire experienced or just Google it. I would rate it a 3/10 to learn, if you mean game difficulty then that's something to ask your DM as it all depends on how he runs things. 4. A new player can fit pretty much every role but if I have to suggest a starting class, Fighter if you want to be a Martial, Cleric if you want to be a Spellcaster. The Fighter has to manage a lot less resources so it is easier to start with while the Cleric not only can he swap what spells he has prepared but he has access to the entire spell list from the get go so you are free to find what best spells suit your playstyle. Hope this helped!
imagine if people who make car games like YuGiOh took some inspiration from these stories:- - I summon Sir Bearitine in attack position, and activate my spell card (head of Vecna), this spell will force one of your monsters to kill itself, and you only have one hehehe. - oh yeah? well, I already have changed the enviroment to under-water dungeon, giving all my aquatic monsters resistance to spell cards. - but our monster isn't.. - Half-Orca rogue, he's still an aquatic monster.
It's called Magic: the Gathering and it's arguably the very first trading card game lol. It was heavily influenced by D&D and even has a couple D&D themed sets, and D&D has settings and rulebooks that developed out of MTG (e.g. theros, ravnica)
Thronger is the best idea ever. "Get throngled" "Go throngle yourself" "I throngled your mother" Pretty much, no matter how it is used, the verbage ends up being great.

The words for "scimitar" and "mace" are very similar in my language... Imagine my confusion and horror when I went to dictionary and misunderstood for a sec after the headcutting story
On the warehouse bit. The reason I went stonefaced and did the slow count to 10 while breathing deeply: Way in the back of my mind, I heard that guy snigger and go "Beware! Get it BE WERE?!!!" and I went "DON'T! Not with THIS DM!!!" and before me I saw the scenario play out, for it was too late. The DM had heard... - And pandemonium ensued...
Sorry for asking mate but um I don't know much about dnd and I had an idea for a character and don't know if it's possible. Could you have a barbarian have the ability to become a healer? Just questioning because I think it would be funny to have a barbarian punch someone and then heal them
So in D&D you can multiclass - essentially pick up some levels of multiple different classes. Barbarian and Paladin would work great, as you'd have the Lay on Hands heal of a Paladin.
I know this is an OLD comment, but there's also the Way of Mercy monk, which pairs quite well with Barbarian in some ways and is quite literally all about this!
I've heard of something like the second one, but I can't remember if it was actually in D&D or in one of the myriad fantasy books I've read; a sentient fungus/plant thing that grew into what looked like a heavily overgrown one-room sod cabin, and waited for prey to come inside. Has anyone else heard of such a creature?
I played a moon druid where my wildshape was turning back into a human. But each night I could chose a new form to remain in for the majority of the day. I was also a Kalashtar which has Mind Link so I could still communicate with everyone just fine the entire time. I also picked up Telekinetic: Shove, which allowed me to use Mage Hand since I no longer needed verbal or somatic components....as well as shove creatures 5 feet as a bonus action...all while playing anything between a house cat and a Cave Bear.
Imagine if your group wanted to overthrow a ruler for reasons, and you spend your time exploring the domain and gleaning an idea of what the ruler us like (and discover the ruler is greedy), and because you can't overthrow conventionally due to heavy guard and influence, then you have to spread a rumor around of this 'super rare' artifact, so rare that it catches the ruler's interest and he-or-she wastes time and resources trying to get it. Your party keeps a relatively low profile so as not to get picked first and instead royal assets are used up (provided none of those assets are OP or instant-problem solving), and EVENTUALLY it gets around to you and your party obtaining it. You procure the item described and falsify scrying and safety techniques ("not even we know what it does"), and use the opportunity of delivery to bring it to the ruler personally. You either trap the item to kill the ruler in a specific way, or you use the audience as the opportunity to attack as a party. A long-con infiltration mission. Imagine if that was a traditional group of heroes or an unconventional team of monsters from an enemy dungeon or dragon's den. ❤
You ask the trapped skeleton remains of the adventurer “who didn’t escape the dungeon” how to escape the dungeon? -100 exp and 1d4 bludgeoning damage smack yourself facepalming.
surprised the DM didn't have the BBEG guys roll perception checks to see if he was being truthful XD also lol thats messed up but smart :P afterwards i'd be like "well since I technically made them alot easier i get first pick of the loot" :P
Had a Druid long ago that liked to abuse and share his wildshapes with the party (through feats and prestige classes/3.5 DnD) but early on (like 5th lvl) we were encouraged to write our own spells for flavor. I wrote a spell, something like “elven grace” that fixed your dex score at 20 for hours (same as the 2nd lvl buff spells) it was to help when we wild shaped into big clumsy things but i purposely wrote it with no save and it DID NOT have the harmless descriptor. I constantly lowered his BG’s Dex scores to 20 in mid to late game and basically screwed them over against the high level mages big boom spells. We’re talkin character with 30+ in two or more stats for bad guys and the wizard and I could easily hit 40+ in some stats (look at owl’s insight spell) so when the epic rouge gets hit with that spell it literally HALVED his dex score.
Ok so i have my own story! My groups dm one time was sick (and i was too) so their game was technically cancelled (oh btw this is a school club, its amazing) so they got to join another group for a day. Apparently, their wizard used an entire turn, to just, buy a horse Nothing else, Just buy a horse.
These are hilarious!!! Could someone please explain the last one to me please? I'm not entirely clear on why ending concentration on Haste caused the BBEG and his second in command to lose-
By ending haste, the boss and his minion lose this turn and their next turn, basically giving the entire party two whole turns to whale on them, apply conditions, etc...

The words for "scimitar" and "mace" are very similar in my language... Imagine my confusion and horror when I went to dictionary and misunderstood for a sec after the headcutting story
4:56 After This vid I made the joke with my dragonborn sorcerer out of character and now the DM's character calls me iguana.
Might steal that bear idea for a dnd npc...
On the warehouse bit. The reason I went stonefaced and did the slow count to 10 while breathing deeply: Way in the back of my mind, I heard that guy snigger and go "Beware! Get it BE WERE?!!!" and I went "DON'T! Not with THIS DM!!!" and before me I saw the scenario play out, for it was too late. The DM had heard... - And pandemonium ensued...
Sorry for asking mate but um I don't know much about dnd and I had an idea for a character and don't know if it's possible. Could you have a barbarian have the ability to become a healer? Just questioning because I think it would be funny to have a barbarian punch someone and then heal them
So in D&D you can multiclass - essentially pick up some levels of multiple different classes. Barbarian and Paladin would work great, as you'd have the Lay on Hands heal of a Paladin.
@@ZacSpeaksGiant I see! Thank you for responding! Really helps
I know this is an OLD comment, but there's also the Way of Mercy monk, which pairs quite well with Barbarian in some ways and is quite literally all about this!
@@RoonaldotonaGames ooooh that sounds interesting
Heh. This reminds me of the meme where the police medic has a baton.
The cat thing js ADORABLE!
What would you call a Mr. Behrington who cooks meat over the camp fire?
Bear Grills
2:25 I had a sword called ‘The Fruckbringer’. It wasn’t that good but it did intimidate a few players.
that last one was perfect!
The Throngler is an old favourite of mine!
My cat is assistant dm and always sleeps on his tree next to the dm
I LOVE THIS what a cool channel!
Ok that last one was awesome, dude won d&d lol
That cat is ĞÖĐ
The posion us the funniest shit ever, because YEAH thats what my group would do too
Making all bosses have a giant modifier to insight just so you can't be fooled again is probably one of the pettiest things a DM can do.
That last one is fucking genius
I've heard of something like the second one, but I can't remember if it was actually in D&D or in one of the myriad fantasy books I've read; a sentient fungus/plant thing that grew into what looked like a heavily overgrown one-room sod cabin, and waited for prey to come inside. Has anyone else heard of such a creature?
I actually have ran werehouses before, two times actually.
What do? Had me laughing 😂
4:55 "Full" "story" "linked" in "comments"
So I scroll down.
And what do I see?
Absolutely nothing.
Oglaf enchanted sheep always a winner. Guy even enchanted them in different elements.
Chicken boo but he just never gets caught
2:41 so..... He speaks Italian? Growls and gestures, checks out
I played a moon druid where my wildshape was turning back into a human. But each night I could chose a new form to remain in for the majority of the day.
I was also a Kalashtar which has Mind Link so I could still communicate with everyone just fine the entire time.
I also picked up Telekinetic: Shove, which allowed me to use Mage Hand since I no longer needed verbal or somatic components....as well as shove creatures 5 feet as a bonus action...all while playing anything between a house cat and a Cave Bear.
I LOVE the warehouse one!
Just one point for the last video it’s not the BBEG that needs higher perception but the DM
The warehouse one is really good.
Imagine if your group wanted to overthrow a ruler for reasons, and you spend your time exploring the domain and gleaning an idea of what the ruler us like (and discover the ruler is greedy), and because you can't overthrow conventionally due to heavy guard and influence, then you have to spread a rumor around of this 'super rare' artifact, so rare that it catches the ruler's interest and he-or-she wastes time and resources trying to get it. Your party keeps a relatively low profile so as not to get picked first and instead royal assets are used up (provided none of those assets are OP or instant-problem solving), and EVENTUALLY it gets around to you and your party obtaining it. You procure the item described and falsify scrying and safety techniques ("not even we know what it does"), and use the opportunity of delivery to bring it to the ruler personally. You either trap the item to kill the ruler in a specific way, or you use the audience as the opportunity to attack as a party. A long-con infiltration mission.
Imagine if that was a traditional group of heroes or an unconventional team of monsters from an enemy dungeon or dragon's den. ❤
That sorcerer is the best
My sword is named “ P O K E “
You ask the trapped skeleton remains of the adventurer “who didn’t escape the dungeon” how to escape the dungeon? -100 exp and 1d4 bludgeoning damage smack yourself facepalming.
surprised the DM didn't have the BBEG guys roll perception checks to see if he was being truthful XD also lol thats messed up but smart :P afterwards i'd be like "well since I technically made them alot easier i get first pick of the loot" :P
why not, aren't i half orca?
*frantically scribble down nee character sheet*... well you are now😅
This is pretty cool, I guess... LOVE YOUUUUUU
ngl I'm wondering if that last tactic would work in Baldur's Gate now
2:21 How about a sword called... Ouchie
~2:20 And if you get Throngled you'll never make a straight face again.
Sir bearington
I wanna play dnd and I'd make my character french and his weapon would be "breadly baguette" literally just a stale, hard baguette
3:01 that is the name of my dog
A war hammer called bonk.
Had a Druid long ago that liked to abuse and share his wildshapes with the party (through feats and prestige classes/3.5 DnD) but early on (like 5th lvl) we were encouraged to write our own spells for flavor. I wrote a spell, something like “elven grace” that fixed your dex score at 20 for hours (same as the 2nd lvl buff spells) it was to help when we wild shaped into big clumsy things but i purposely wrote it with no save and it DID NOT have the harmless descriptor. I constantly lowered his BG’s Dex scores to 20 in mid to late game and basically screwed them over against the high level mages big boom spells. We’re talkin character with 30+ in two or more stats for bad guys and the wizard and I could easily hit 40+ in some stats (look at owl’s insight spell) so when the epic rouge gets hit with that spell it literally HALVED his dex score.
I just got that the bear char may be just bear from Tekken :D
At 3:10 all i can think of is
"Thats not a man its a chicken"
Wasn't there an army division that had a bear as a soldier
Ok so i have my own story!
My groups dm one time was sick (and i was too) so their game was technically cancelled (oh btw this is a school club, its amazing) so they got to join another group for a day.
Apparently, their wizard used an entire turn, to just, buy a horse
Nothing else,
Just buy a horse.
2:01 Nintendo, prepare your Intelligence Systems, we’re about to launch a lawsuit!
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
1:19 done
These are hilarious!!!
Could someone please explain the last one to me please? I'm not entirely clear on why ending concentration on Haste caused the BBEG and his second in command to lose-
By ending haste, the boss and his minion lose this turn and their next turn, basically giving the entire party two whole turns to whale on them, apply conditions, etc...
@@controlcore1 Ohhh I see- Thank you! :)
