This i all fun and games- until your group includes someone highly mobile- and highly aggressive. Aka one of those overeager players who leap right into the thick of things immediately. Well, crap... there go all my area of effect spells... Listen, bud: lots and lots of low to med level monsters? Leave that to the spell slinger. I thin the herd- THEN you charge in, cappice?
My party’s paladin basically was a cult member but escaped, he’s like an AA person, trying to get away from darkness while still using its power. It’s really funny when you have a guy who swore an oath to evil but he’s tryna do good lol.
Wow. To be such a minuscule content creator you have awesome quality, shocked that you’re not bigger then this. Good luck with your future endeavors and thank you for the much needed explanation!❤️
Absolutely! I’m about to do some heavy interaction on each of these vids to help him grow bc he deserves it for real! And he isn’t asking for it, which is rare these days lol
I hear one more content creator call Legolas a Ranger when the class was literally made because of Aragorn and I'm gonna have to cause some Sauron level damage to the world. For real though, great video!
Thank you! Was looking for this comment. Aragorn tracking Pippin and Merry through the battlefield is the epitome of being a ranger. Legolas is the fighter with a bow.
All that most of the people that would want to play artificer need to know is that they make nukes and giant mech armor. It's like using Redstone in minecraft but better.
Usually not the one to leave to many comments, but I think you more than deserve that. Incredibly well done video, I like the style, the pacing and the depth of detail. Just starting out with DnD and this video helped me and my wife to pick our first characters, thank you very much!
@@LimboGcX She ended up as a Druid (moon) and I started playing a paladin, we are level 5 by now and call me a bit of a power gamer but I am a Hexblade Warlock Paladin with ties to the raven queen, next session is tomorrow ;) We already struck down a local ring of cultists who turn children into a a dnd version of meth and are now pursuing the big bosses, having been thwarted off our way into a prison and escaping more or less elegantly. Thank you for getting me back to reminisce about this video ;)
I’m now off to see if you have a matching video for races and sub races, because hands down this has been so helpful and well organised it makes a huge task begin to look manageable! Thank you, and, keep going!
I also love a lot of the other druid circles. I'm currently playing a circle of wildfire druid, it's from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. It means I have a little pet made of fire and I'm really good at arson and healing people.
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. It’s simpler and better to work with the rest of the game than UA tends to be. However if you’re DM is experienced enough to handle untested stuff like that, then don’t let me stop you; you’r table not mine
Yeah... I played a Ranger not only with the Tasha rules, but one of its subclasses the Swarmkeeper, and actually turned into a fairly decent Battlefield Control character, especially when I was able to pick up the Spike Growth spell. Now that turned my enemies into shredded cheese!
Disclaimer: don't be an eldrich knight if you want to throw fire, you are going to deal more damage just ttacking. On the other side, if you want to use spells that increase your defense or add mobility, go eldrich knight
I’ve been wanting to start playing DnD for a while, but just had no idea what I was doing. One of my friends sent me a google doc to start making my character sheet, and now I’ve got an artillerist artificer based on the artificer from rain world, and a divine soul sorcerer based on Osvald from Octopath Traveler 2, and figuring out the basics it making a character and all of the cool stuff that adds together to make it really work is awesome.
Honestly this is the best video breaking down all the 5e classes for beginers ive encountered yet. Thank you, ill be sending this to the new guys from my campaign.
So, so glad I found your channel. Your channel is the only one I’ve found that breaks it down perfectly for beginners like me. You explain everything so well and make it so much while learning.
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.
@@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?
Just quickly TH-camd descriptions of DnD classes to help a friend who is getting into Baldur's Gate for the first time. This is a great video! It gives a good but brief description of the classes but is not just some boring info dump!
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.
Kind of underselling Monk's Monk Weapons, bonk with quarterstaff with two hands and then follow up with a punch after freeing a hand from the QS. 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.
Imagine a ttrpg based on the character action genre (terrible name for a video game genre but the fandom deals with it). Imagine fighters who are already strong by DnD standards and have to lvl-up their Dex stat to swap weapons mid turn, imagine monks who already have nigh infinite Dex and have to employ a chi management system, imagine magic users juggling between replenishing spells and ones that require resource management, imagine bards having Like A Dragon moments instead of P-Hub moments, etc
Brand new to D&D. Coming from years with elder scrolls, I love that this is laid out like the character creator in Oblivion, and bonus, the Skyrim music is nice to hear!
I recently played a knowledge cleric and concentrated a lot more on being the smart one in the party, and was secondarily a healer. One of the best things about clerics is how versatile they can be depending on what domain you choose.
Rogue swashbuckler is so freaking fun. Able to be stealthy but not reliant on stealth, high charisma, able to take on targets 1 on 1 with adv, reaction to take half damage
I play a beastmaster ranger (With the rules of Tashas cauldron of everything) for a year now. That shit is evil. 600 yard bow shots, charging enemies with your companion, hunting dowm enimies with hunters mark. I love it
Legolas isn't a ranger if anything eragon's a ranger Aragon is the one that travels eragon is the one that knows his surroundings Aragon is the one that gets supplies from the wilderness if anything legolas is a fighter
Honestly thank you for this great video! It really helped me! As someone who only just recently got into D&D with a group of amazing people I've been having a ton of fun and frankly really getting into D&D My first character is a Sorcerer with Draconic lineage and is in fact a half dragon with red dragon blood However the character is chaotic good and so far it's been a ton of fun to play Really excited to try out some creative and chaotic things An entire bard group with every bard specifying in a few different spells is a joke idea we had for a lot of comedic fun I love about D&D just how creative you can be
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 think calling Legolas a ranger is very misleading for new players! Aragorn is a ranger who knows a lot about nature and uses it to his advantage. Legolas is a fighter who is very good at hitting people with his bow, he can also fire a lot of arrows, basically extra attack and action surge. Not every ranger needs to use a bow!
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!
About to start my first campaign. I just skipped the research and made a wacky character (archer who cant shoot for shit so subclasses in alchamey and makes explosive arrows)
Big (human sised but still round) dwarf, who is a druid (or another magic user) who is deeply connected to nature and has a calm and kind aura to him. He treats everyone with respect, just make sure you dont piss him off👀. And a half-orc as a rouge who, is just always tired. The reason he is so tired is because his party members fall asleep before they dicuss who takes watch, so he/she has to take it all the time. Or they just have a cursed amulet that gives them nightmares but they have not realised yet. Okay now emagine, a really small cute little race (idk which one yet) who is a bard and the most chaotic thing you will ever come across. While the half-orc and the dwarf are discussing strategies to take down the target (lets say, a red dragon because.... No creativatie for a bad guy right now), this chaos spredding creachure will walk up to the dragon, the dragon spitts fire but misses because it went over the little guy, and then he just goes and says: "DAYUUUMM, yo mamma did say that you're breath smells worse then her 😺" and the dragon then proceeds to be so insulted to just die then and there. Leaving the other 2 stunned I wanna create this, I NEED TO DRAW THIS
As a bard my favourite spell was and always will be Tasha's hideous laughter. Harpies are above us and wanting to attack us? Hideous laughter, one falls and dies. Giant octopus-like creature wants to kill us? No problem only thing I wanted to know was its wisdom saving throw and it was laughing for the rest of our session. Hideous laughter also worked on players at the table
During my first campaign I was playing with a couple of people who it was also their first time so we all had no idea what we where doing and watching this video made me realize how much I played wizard wrong and that my character probably wasn’t even really a wizard
Ranger is my favorite class. I always picked human variant and chose sharp shooter as my feet and archer fighting style. I did an insane amount of damage
I personally play dnd on dnd beyond. So I get all my explanation from that. But I still am learning as I play, even though I’ve never read any handbooks or such and yet I still have fun playing the game.
how are there not more views and subs for this guy. thank you for making the explanations entertaining and understandable. also am i hearing things or is there a slight accent at times, i swear i can hear it come out but I can't place it 😂👀
people who say ranger is weak have never played gloom stalker in out of the abyss and made their dm beg them to stop making perception checks. in his own words "yeah when you do rope trick, i also do a rope trick".
Can confirm about the druid, I play a circle of spores gremlin, and i uh, havent gotten to experiment with wild shapes yet bc we were level one… but as soon as i get the chance im becoming a cat.
I’m sick and tired of people assuming Ranger means Ranged weapons. It’s Ranger, like PARK Ranger. Not a guy who uses guns to fight, just a guy who’s job it is to walk around in the wilderness. They’re survivalists
Honestly, don't let the whole "clerics can be boring to roleplay" thing hold you back! I wanted to play one and everyone was like "you're gonna be so bored, this is a long campaign" but I had a vision and I stuck with it, my cleric served a tri-goddess (Angharrad) who is the personification of three Elven goddesses plus herself. I had 4 different deities that I could pull "what would Jesus do" lines for and it gave me a ton of super interesting and indepth role play when faced with moral dilemmas. Cleric is easily one of my top favorites to play!
Thank you for this video i recommended it to a friend that played bg3 so he could understand the classes a little bt better because they are very based on dnd.
4:37 Um… no. Legolas would definitely be a fighter. If you’re looking for a ranger in LotR, you want Aragorn. Aragorn is the one who does the tracking when they’re chasing the orcs and following the hobbits into the room. The other characters also *EXPLICITLY SAY HE’S A RANGER!* Also, you forgot artificer.
just found this video, and it made me remember my character, multi-classed into rogue, warlock and druid for extra info; he's a Kenku and Fire Genasi hybrid, and made a deal with his local god of war, power, for souls, yes, not his soul, but souls however, he wants out of this deal, without losing his power, one of his main things is freedom, meanwhile he's caged by contract do with that what you will
How did the classes get their magic: Wizards: "I've been studying for years and are finally prepared to cast spells" 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" Also, as some other comments have said, great video
I play a barbarian, my first kill was with the cast iron pan from my adventure pack. I went and picked it up from where it landed in the second session

I love about D&D just how creative you can be
Never played DnD before but this video also works as a fantastic guide for character creation in Baldurs Gate 3 and other similar games.
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.
My first character is a bard. Level three now and loving the game. Also it is a gnome and I feel kinda called out, he's just a helpful little guy
my character who will be coming up in a new campaign is an Abyssal Tiefling Druid who is from the Circle of the Moon… I love her so much
Any chance you could make an artificer vid? Ive already subbed but ill give you an inspiration point if you do 😅
I think calling Legolas a ranger is very misleading for new players!
Aragorn is a ranger who knows a lot about nature and uses it to his advantage. Legolas is a fighter who is very good at hitting people with his bow, he can also fire a lot of arrows, basically extra attack and action surge.
Not every ranger needs to use a bow!
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!
0:25 d&d is for cool people and nerds so like yea..
Just nerds 😢 ....
Just needs unlike me😎🧌
About to start my first campaign. I just skipped the research and made a wacky character (archer who cant shoot for shit so subclasses in alchamey and makes explosive arrows)
Big (human sised but still round) dwarf, who is a druid (or another magic user) who is deeply connected to nature and has a calm and kind aura to him. He treats everyone with respect, just make sure you dont piss him off👀.
And a half-orc as a rouge who, is just always tired. The reason he is so tired is because his party members fall asleep before they dicuss who takes watch, so he/she has to take it all the time. Or they just have a cursed amulet that gives them nightmares but they have not realised yet.
Okay now emagine, a really small cute little race (idk which one yet) who is a bard and the most chaotic thing you will ever come across. While the half-orc and the dwarf are discussing strategies to take down the target (lets say, a red dragon because.... No creativatie for a bad guy right now), this chaos spredding creachure will walk up to the dragon, the dragon spitts fire but misses because it went over the little guy, and then he just goes and says: "DAYUUUMM, yo mamma did say that you're breath smells worse then her 😺" and the dragon then proceeds to be so insulted to just die then and there. Leaving the other 2 stunned
I wanna create this, I NEED TO DRAW THIS
As a bard my favourite spell was and always will be Tasha's hideous laughter. Harpies are above us and wanting to attack us? Hideous laughter, one falls and dies. Giant octopus-like creature wants to kill us? No problem only thing I wanted to know was its wisdom saving throw and it was laughing for the rest of our session. Hideous laughter also worked on players at the table
Would love to have a deeper dive into each of these
SUPPORT, ROUGE.
"I will heal you without you knowing"
or they are the most hated and have a horrible personality but they help out a lot-
During my first campaign I was playing with a couple of people who it was also their first time so we all had no idea what we where doing and watching this video made me realize how much I played wizard wrong and that my character probably wasn’t even really a wizard
Ranger is my favorite class. I always picked human variant and chose sharp shooter as my feet and archer fighting style. I did an insane amount of damage
As a new DM this was super helpful! Thank you
I really like the idea of a warlock that just got his powers from a demon dollar store.
Warlock: fireball, please!
Patron: *sighs* That’ll be $2.95.
A Druid who’s permanently in wild shape as a small electric spider who only knows one op electric move and invisibility
I personally play dnd on dnd beyond. So I get all my explanation from that. But I still am learning as I play, even though I’ve never read any handbooks or such and yet I still have fun playing the game.
how are there not more views and subs for this guy. thank you for making the explanations entertaining and understandable.
also am i hearing things or is there a slight accent at times, i swear i can hear it come out but I can't place it 😂👀
Everything about Rangers was literally based on Aragorn, not Legolas.
Insanely helpful!
I was going to have my character be a fighter. You have successfully given me analysis paralysis.
people who say ranger is weak have never played gloom stalker in out of the abyss and made their dm beg them to stop making perception checks. in his own words "yeah when you do rope trick, i also do a rope trick".
Can confirm about the druid,
I play a circle of spores gremlin, and i uh, havent gotten to experiment with wild shapes yet bc we were level one… but as soon as i get the chance im becoming a cat.
this deserves more likes man! this was a really funny and informative video, awesome!!
can you do a video on classes that aren't as common like artificer and blood hunter??
Sorcerer: nepo baby
Warlock: sugar baby
I’m sick and tired of people assuming Ranger means Ranged weapons. It’s Ranger, like PARK Ranger. Not a guy who uses guns to fight, just a guy who’s job it is to walk around in the wilderness. They’re survivalists
But ranged weapons make the most amount of sense as a survivalist…
Honestly, don't let the whole "clerics can be boring to roleplay" thing hold you back! I wanted to play one and everyone was like "you're gonna be so bored, this is a long campaign" but I had a vision and I stuck with it, my cleric served a tri-goddess (Angharrad) who is the personification of three Elven goddesses plus herself. I had 4 different deities that I could pull "what would Jesus do" lines for and it gave me a ton of super interesting and indepth role play when faced with moral dilemmas. Cleric is easily one of my top favorites to play!
Thank you for this video i recommended it to a friend that played bg3 so he could understand the classes a little bt better because they are very based on dnd.
just came here to say i appreciate the skyrim music in the bg, 10/10 video
4:37 Um… no. Legolas would definitely be a fighter. If you’re looking for a ranger in LotR, you want Aragorn. Aragorn is the one who does the tracking when they’re chasing the orcs and following the hobbits into the room. The other characters also *EXPLICITLY SAY HE’S A RANGER!*
Also, you forgot artificer.
just found this video, and it made me remember my character, multi-classed into rogue, warlock and druid
for extra info; he's a Kenku and Fire Genasi hybrid, and made a deal with his local god of war, power, for souls, yes, not his soul, but souls
however, he wants out of this deal, without losing his power, one of his main things is freedom, meanwhile he's caged by contract
do with that what you will
How did the classes get their magic:
Wizards: "I've been studying for years and are finally prepared to cast spells"
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"
Also, as some other comments have said, great video
Best summarized explanation. Thanks!
I play a barbarian, my first kill was with the cast iron pan from my adventure pack. I went and picked it up from where it landed in the second session
i came here to see the artificier and hes not hereee😭😭
The Zelda music really completes this
This is a great video dude very useful and charismatic!
4:30 Fighters also get Action Surge(Aka, low use extra turn)
