      I intentionally gave her mediocre wis and high charisma despite starting off as cleric because I planned on multi-classing early on because of her backstory.
      She was a human, but due to circumstances, ended up being raised by an elf community, specifically by the community's priests, so she was a cleric of Corellon despite being hooman :v
      The Bard thing is because I'd wanted her to sort of have a talent for performance and singing, and hey, from what I can remember, Corellon is a bit of a patron of that kind of stuff as well :v

      Yep, my friend plays an exclusive melee ranger, who refuses to use a ranged weapon and he's one of our highest dps characters. At level 5 while other people make 2 attacks he makes 4. Just gets in there and shreds enemies. And for his spells he's a secondary healer, since rangers can actually heal. So yeah, rangers are not "ranged" despite the name. You can play a pretty powerful melee ranger. And yes Legolas is cool but Aragorn is also cool and they're both rangers.

    Great video but a little nitpick I always have is using Legolas as a ranger example because I feel like it kinda simplifies the class to “bow guy” when bows, while the most common choice, is not required for the class. Also Aragorn is right there and is the perfect example of a ranger with his natural medicine, bonding with the wild horse, tracking the hobbits, good combat skills, and he is introduced into the film as a ranger. Overall really good summary of the classes! 🫶

    If I ever get to play D&D with friends, I have a character concept:
    An Halforc Barbarian named Johannas Beck. And Vayne. Because it's actually 2 minds living in the same body. Johannas is just a normal guy, while Vayne is a bloodthirsty monster who loves killing above all. And they are fully aware of each other and best friends. Which is the original personality? Nobody knows. Is one of them a symptom of mental illness, or a demon who has half-possessed the body? Nobody knows that either. They don't know that. They don't care. They are just chilling together on their grand quest with their party.

    If I may make a suggestion for the UA Ranger, I would personally go with the optional rules for them found in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.

    Most of all if you want to quickly know how to play an effective ranger, choose the Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything variant features, pick the spell hunter’s mark, go gloomstalker, choose the archery fighting style, and pick either variant human, or custom lineage for the first level feat. Pick sharpshooter, use a longbow, and go to town doing schmassive damage. Max out dexterity, dump strength, put your next highest stat in con, and third highest in wisdom. This is by far the easiest way to be really effective as a ranger. Bonus points if you can pursuade your party to fight at night, because then you will be invisible to even creatures with darkvision, and gain advantage on just about everything.

Also being able to throw darts and follow up with a punch for a nice mix of ranged and close combat, creating a mobile, mid ranged, scouter. One of the highest damages in the early levels with decent consistency for any damage.

    Barbarians usually get their power from nature like druids. But that's usually ignored until subclasses are added.
    There are more inaccuracies but its a guide for newcomers and i still consider this a good video and worthy of a like.

    I would like to say that Paladins do not have to worship a god. Their strength comes from their conviction, not a diety or god. When one turns into an oathbreaker their power still exists, it just manifests in a way that doesnt follow their previous values and ideals.

      That ONLY ASSUMES the DM doesn't penalize you for your fall by removing your access to any Divinely inspired abilities such as Divine Smite. I would have the God cut the power bestowed on you almost completely off, or change them to Eldritch based energy until the Paladin has atoned for whatever they may have done to become an OathBreaker.

    • @RaineYiVTube
      @RaineYiVTube 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      @@garyryantaylor30813 Again, Paladins in DnD 5e do not draw their powers from a diety. That's a flavor thing. The power comes from their drive to commit to their Oath. Earlier editions Paladins were empowered by a divine connection like a Cleric. When turning Oathbreaker your powers twist and instead of following your previous ideals you now work against your ideals, betraying what you once believed.
      If your DM is, as you put it, removing access to "divinely inspired abilities" then they're completely misunderstanding where Paladins get their power from and also punishing a player more for breaking an oath even if it was unintentional and honestly I'd say find a new DM if they're that hostile. The Oathbreaker subclass exists and functions as a replacement subclass if you don't follow your ideals. Why would your DM be removing access to Paladin features unless they have it out for you?

    How did the classes get their magic:

    Sorcerer: "my grandfather fu*** a dragon"
    Warlock: "I made a deal with the devil"
    Bards: " I made fun off this guy and he just f*ing died"

    10:37 but i can. Every day wizard's choose from a list of 49 spells by default at level 20 and could obtain more from scrolls but are unlikely to have over 100 spells unless it's earned throughout a full 1-20 campaign or the dm gave them far to many spells to copy.
    Wizards also don't do allot else, their subclass features are rather simple except maybe the transmutation wizards minor and major transmutation but you won't use major that often anyway.
    As a druid you have to choose between 150 spells at levels 17+ and memorize all the abilities and physical stats of every not especially powerful beast you could have seen wich you will want to maximize and as a druid would exceed the avarange.
    And on top of that i would consider the druid subclass abilities more complicated than those of wizard's and even if you dont consider the expanded spell lists or the encouragement to enter melee that the spores druid has enough, the shepherd druid has to keep track of an immense amount of summons as well as creating a strategically placed totem to bost their alies and later heal their summons.
    The moon druid has too keep track of even more statblocks while using their wildshapes in combat more directly as they only spend their bonus action to activate it and then they need to balance healing their wildshape and spell slots.

    In Baldur’s Gate specifically you can take the tavern brawler feat and then Barbarians get to be long range, before I left act one I was throwing three things a turn if I was using rage and I did legitimately obscene damage from across the battlefield. Doesn’t work in Norma dnd tho apparently

    I started playing way back when the Moldvay boxed sets came out (Basic and Expert) and first edition Advanced DnD. We upgraded with each new edition, more or less just rolling it into our game. 3E was different, but incorporated just about all of our long standing house rules- and a yes you can! Here's how! philosophy to character building, as opposed to the NO! from earlier editions. The D20 thing was genius!
    However, power creep was real... We skipped 4th ed.
    5E is essentially 3E with the gnarliest bugs worked out, the power creep nerfed, and some new options from 4th ed. Streamlined, and bult with all the lessons learned. I loved the 3E cleric! FINALLY- they made it cool to play!!! Not just the class you got cajoled into playing if you were the last to join, lol. 5E clerics are even better! I love what they did with domains, and channeling divine power. Wizards are way fun, too. The cantrip mechanic was a stroke of genius. Minor, but AT WILL spells, that often level up with you. This is key, especially at low level when spell slots are few. You'll always be able to cast something- and they put much of the utility spells here, where you'll always have em without spending spell slots on them. I tend to gravitate to these classes, simply because magic is what makes the fantasy genre so interesting to me.
    All of the basic classes got made fun to play. The others are mainly variations on those, different flavors, or different focuses. Save Bard and Monk, which are just their own thing. Creating a character can be a bit more complicated than before, but that's because they're front loaded- you make many of the major decisions early on. Once made, it's easy to play.
    Anyhow, that's my 2 coppers. Nice run down!
