"Kobolds are superior."
Bold talk for someone in raiding distance
But bolds are superior
I usually comment about how puntable they are but yea. A fair response.
Goblins are the superior small race
Kenkus are the best race
That's Bold talk for Someone in Bolding Distance... *Loads Kobold Kanun with Malicous intent* Kobolds are not only Known for their Tinkering and connections to the Arcane but also for traps Shenanigans, Pack Tactics and BEING ARTIFICRS BEFORE ARTIFICER.

Talking about the superiority of Kobolds while watching Jocat, famous goblin stan, is daring.
Artificers are basically Techpriests and Hereteks.
This is corny even for my standard ... i love it
Oh no.... you just made me realize playing a paladin so over the top like a space marine would be so fun.....

"Players can't be trusted to remember the items they started with..." this guy: you start with items?
There's a long trail of items leading from the edge of town into the nearby Kobold den. 🤣
i love using the pitons in my bag as thrown weapons. what am i going to use them for. setting up climbing ropes?
@@CatOnACell um, yes. Quite frequently actually. Any time you use rope and need an anchor point.
I think the DM he plays with doesn't give Starting weapons
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
- Arthur C. Clark, 1962
True but how would some of the things in dnd be possible when clearly they don't follow the laws of physics
I was once told if you show a caveman technology, he'd think it was magic. If you show a modern day scientist magic, they'd think it was technology.
@@miciduve Maybe we are wrong about physics?
"Magic is dumb and stupid and makes no sense"
- A Wise Man
@@miciduve That's why it's "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." and not "Any magic is indistinguishable from sufficiently advanced technology." The law is not reflective. Even Clarke repeatedly tried to get that point across to people who tried to over-extend what he said. (Stupid Jane Foster.)
Airier:F*** goblins.
Me:NOOO!!! Don't give the bard ideas.
OwO?
@@Liliana_the_ghost_cat *axe axe axe axe axe*
*pant pant* I got it
Can confirm Goblins are adorable. Played one and was adopted as the party's pet. He's now a God of Chaos and best friends with the primordial God of the universes beginning.
How the heck did that happen? XD I mean him becoming a god of chaos?? XD
@@MirandaWeaver So, due to some party shenanigans we were on the good side of the losing faction of gods and horrendously on the bad side of the winning faction. We had enough favor to somehow request our own godhood, or at least the party did Gusk was just around for the ride and finding new friends. The DM at this point I think had given up on us being a normal party, what with the elf rouge insulting our patron at every step, and our knack for managing to trivialize the most complicated of tasks. For reference, we went from being minor domainless gods of the losing faction to on par with primordial gods within the span of a single battle. Something about stealing the heart of an elder god and using it to upraise ourselves to an even higher plane. Gusk really didn't pay attention. Benifits of being a goblin with less than 10 intelligence, he just kinda went with the flow. This somehow ended up with us fighting said best friend primordial, until through liberal use of a divine grade wish we managed to force a feeblemind on it. Then they became Gusks best friend, while he assumed the role of the god of chaos, no one argued. He was already blessed by the chaotic forces of the universe already, and it's hard to argue with an adorable goblin that has a primordial diety for a best friend.
TL;DR Shenanigans and the DM giving up when we began demanding from the gods cause they weren't good enough to solve their own problems. lol
One of my old DMs had a goblin cleric that was a dm pc. 20th lvl...he was flexing too much...we relegated that NPC to guarding the horses and carrying gear for us.
Scorn: *salutes the Goblin God*
Somehow, my goblin became the voice of reason in our party. I'm scared.
Airier: "I'm just gonna focus on the video now!"
Me: "Bullshit"
Airier: *pausing video to ramble every 10-12 seconds of view time*
😅
Guilty.
Best part
@@Airier *KINGU CRIMSON!*
NANI!?
You can see the moment Airier started questioning if this is a new fetish of if it was there all along and this was only it's awakening ;D
25:50
Really, what is magic, but a field of science we have not yet dabbled in?
Like the people before called electricity magic and at least 50% of the current people call magnets magic.
Ah, you too are a man of culture.
@@Narinjas You see... Electricity WAS a type of magic (like Arcana, Elemental, Astral, etc); until Tesla casted an epic spell that [REDACTED].
Wrong, Magic per half of it in DnD and most other fiction is sociology/economy with the Gods, 107, you give God's numb numbs and ego strokes and they give you meteor strike.
@Aidan Giese ...yeah, the infamous "Noodle Incident".
You did the races song! Maybe check out the cover by cami-cat she has a fair few dnd songs, personally I love the dnd take she has of “meet my friends”, there’s also a song about Gothi from Dingos campaign
And a song he needs to check out AFTER he watches the DM vid
Yesssss! On both!
airier wants to multiclass into everything and everyone
That's abserd... ;p
Yes. It's a problem. 😅
@@Airier i feel your pain. Thats why I just made a list of characters to make.
@@TheFighterlucario you just did that, huh?
@@TheFighterlucario .............
While I'm pretty sure someone has probably mentioned it by now, the little box with the tiny arms and the cute happy face in the Artificer video was a cameo of a very old gag character from Markiplier's early-ish videos called Tiny Box Tim.
😶
I actually remember that.
Haven't thought about it for years
😮
@@Airier Ye it was a WHILE back. lol
The new Artificer subclass from tasha's you were thinking of is Armorer, and it is pretty much just DnD Iron Man. The melee gauntlets put disadvantage against attacks on your allies if you hit an enemy with them. The armor also replaces lost limbs while it's active which is pretty cool
So you can be either be model 43 or 36
When you are thinking about Goblin's and Kobold's as Enemy Encounters, then both have their unique uses. Goblin's are for when you need incredibly simple shenanigans or random encounters, while Kobolds are good for highly complex Dungeons, as well as for more unique Dragon encounters.
When considering them as playable Races, then they are just equally good. If you wanna make an adorable nutcase of a character, these races almost write themselves.
As a matter of fact you can do a centaur. They can be found in the theros book for dnd. In fact most of the races that aren’t very common can be found in that book as well as the ravnica book.
Don't forget Eberron
Yeah, the MtG supplements tend to include races that most other supplements wouldn't think of because the settings they are based upon can have a lot of different races that are well represented because in gameplay terms they just start as 2/2s or something not drastic.
Not to mention flavors in not technically Wizards of the Coast supplements, like the Centaurs in Odyssey of the Dragon Lords
Now you need to watch Alignments and Dungeon Master Guides. I'll be waiting 😂
And character sheets
"Can you actually do a centaur?"
Hecc yeah you can. Last oneshot I was in, I played Zephyr Swiftwind, centaur paladin of the god of communication and trade.
She was a postal worker.
The name swiftwind is taken by She-Ra’s pegasus steed.
@@JaelinBezel Yes, that was a deliberate reference.
"Kobolds are superior. FIGHT ME!"
Why? I'm also a card carrying member of the Cult of Kobold.
Kobolds have sunlight sensitivity, and work best in groups of their own.
Goblins can function independently, and aren't afraid of a little Vitamin D.
So ... you're a CoK ?
I mean, my dnd beyond name may or may not praise The mighty kobolds
I see you too are Team Zito too
Due to JoCat's Goblins video, the campaign I'm running right now have goblins but they are not enemies. They're more like innocent and cute children. Everyone loves them, NPCs and players alike and me as well. Literally everyone would put their life on the line to protect any goblin they meet. In towns, they basically get treated like the village kids. Innocent little scampers filled with love and joy to hug people with. Like a smarter, less dopey but just as energetic Golden Retrievers. We also have a snowy biome and the towns there gives the goblins little fur coats and scarfs and winter hats. They also have public fireplaces, and it became a sort of hangout spot for people, but everyone have fireplaces in their homes, so what's the purpose? Well the reason the public ones are made are literally just for the goblins so they don't get cold and sick in the biome. As for their appearance, it's basically synonymous with JoCat's goblins.
Don't forget the Crap Guide to Alignments and DM! Looking forward to it!
Also, I feel the goblin video on a spiritual level. Cause my current player group is all about the little goblin they saved from a fire when the rest of his party fled. Now they keep his as a pet and feed him breakfast pastries.
0:23 fine, I’ll see you outside at high noon in direct sunlight.
... uh, I just remembered I have to see a horse about a man. 😶😨
"Kobolds are superior." got a like just for that :D
Kobolds are Smol and precious, and I will protecc them till the days I die
Cami-Cat has an absolutely amazing cover of the races song
This guy's like fantasy shadiversity
Hey, JoCat actually recently joined a stream DnD game run by a Twitch streamer named Arcadum and they just had their Session 0 yesterday! Funnily enough, the race that he is choosing to play is rabbitfolk, which isn't even in his races song!
Rabbitfolk are new, actually. They're still in playtesting, along with Undead and another race I can't remember.
Arcadum has a lot of homebrew stuff for his world, and one thing I noticed he added recently was a host of "skinwalkers" i.e. animal people.
Artificer best class. Raise that INT to justify creating anything that you want. Then multiclass into Forge Domain Cleric to make construction a breeze. For example: gear mechanics + steam engine = car. Then go into Artillerist and slap an Eldritch Cannon on whatever you build.
And Magical Tinkering to make a custom horn.
Artificer, go Armorer, heavy armor, get iron man suit, win.
"FUTURE ME CUT THIS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY"
fututre him: No.
The smiling box is a reference to Markiplier and warforged that represented the third sub-class for the artificer is a character named Log from a D&D campaign called the Unexpectables that JoCat played in as a one-off character.
Didn’t look anything like Log
The "Races" video is even better when you realize Jocat is rapping to a slightly sped up "Rant" by Bo Burnham. The second you hear it, you can't unhear it.
He may still have the plushie for sale just thought I'd mentioned that.
* *my take on Tabaxi race* * (yep, I had a cat once)
DM: so what does your character do?...
Tabaxi: order a drink, smell it and go away, stay looking at the door, come back, take a sip, go back to the door, stare at nothingness for half an hour, scratch the door a bit... goes outside, turns around, comes back and finish the drink.
DM: okay, you got inspiration, sheesh.
I mean, that actually sounds perfectly in character for a cat as far as it m concerned. 😁
Can confirm, did not get a notification, just happened to see this in my recommended videos despite being subscribed for at least a month now
Airier: "... But it gives you the power to role play Stupidity."
Me: Care to repeat that, person within Frenzied Rage distance?
"Turn that basic Vibrator into a Vibe Rater" is still one of my fave play on words from the artificer vid
Airiergames: "You guys know me, I'm just gonna jump right in."
Also Airiergames: Spends the next minute rambling and not jumping right in
17:11 Every time I watch an animated episode of Fools Gold campaign.
My first ever D&D character was a Kobold.
Their life ended too quickly, but they left so many funny memories.
15:11 "can you actually do a centaur?" sure man, roll sedution
😶🤔😨🤣
As somebody who's doing an Artificer that's flavored to be an Imperial Guardsman, magic is HERESY!
EDIT: Watch Unexpectables, Jocat hides references in these videos.
Artificers are magic item/artifact makers though
There's a video someone edited together of JoCat just being a bard for, like, 10 minutes. You should definitely watch is because it's really good. I'm glad you push people to watch the original videos, because JoCat is a legitimately nice guy and the algorithm loves pushing things that get sudden spikes in viewership back to the recommended tab. He can also play the piano, though he say's he's out of practice now. He also wrote his original Crap Guide to D&D intro and outro music. I would be seriously envious of him if he wasn't such a nice guy.
0:23 Brave words for someone within booyag distance.
The thing i love about the crap guide is the fact Jocat does it in character.
That character being Jocrap who is his monster hunter character and a fighter primarily.
However Jocrap is part wizard due to the time he blew up the character behind the Animated Spellbook's home with JUST FIREBALL.
Not sure if someone else has mentioned it but Kalashtar are from Eberron, the same setting that introduced Shifters, Changelings, and Warforged. The reason that they are not nearly as widely used as the others is that they were designed to be the psychic race (back when the setting was made for 3.5E), and they mostly lived on a different continent in case you wanted to completely ignore psionics in your campaign.
A lot of the other unusual races are from the MtG supplements, though some are just obscure DnD races that got stat updates for 5e (e.g. Firbolg).
the speed he talks + how many things he say + the amount of entusiasm he speaks with really helps my adhd brain focus on the video more than anything else
GREAT
Let's head to Crap Guide to Monster Hunter next :^
There'S still more though
He kept the headbanging in the end of the Barbarian video. It was truly awesome.
Who else here had to look up the 1812 Overture then like 4 notes into went "ahh, THAT song". Also if you look really closely the big guy actually DOES say "Oi nani" before the goblin closeup.
When he gets to DM, oh boy
I am reminded of a D&D story of an All Barbarian Party.
The party was amusingly and amazingly derailed.
Glad you are using AJ Picket as a reference for the more complex lore of D&D, especially since he got hired to help create something for an upcoming D&D video game!
Feel attacked? ROLL INITIATIVE!
Giving you a heads up due to a time limit. JoCat just put up a video that is about Bards4bards, and in it, he has it so a place is selling a wizard goblin plushies. I know you've mostly been watching his stuff in the order of release, and multiple a week, but you may want to jump ahead to this one if you want to try and get said plush.
😯
Thanks for the heads up.
in the warlock guide the paladin and the bard were getting married
I just am so entertained by the rambling and muttering
WAIT WAIT N U X? I WANT THAT
I W A N ' T T H A T T O
Artificers have gotten a fourth subclass called the Armorer.....it can basically make you D&D Iron Man. Also one thing JoCat did not point out is that if your DM allows them, Artificer starts with proficiency with Firearms.....and is the only class that does.
Still to this day one of my favorite characters I ever played was Rand Omnes, the Goblin Wild Magic Sorcerer who was a Booyahg Booyahg Booyahg, meaning that she rolled on the wild magic table every time she cast any spell including cantrips. She only stayed alive for 5 sessions but damn were the most enjoyable 5 sessions I've ever played.
Yes, all the races in the Races video are official races in the various published books.
And no, he won't redo the video because Tasha's made all races able to remove their racial template for a modified variant Human template. This video shows perfectly well what each of their racial templates are if you don't replace it with the modified variant Human template.
I feel like you're the kinda guy to actually try the internet dnd memes in your actual games
[Completely Innocent Whistling]
@@Airier lol. My first campaign, everyone tried to seduce a roper that we couldn't kill
... did it work?
@@Airier nope. We nearly tpk'd and had to have an NPC bail us out
BIG NEWS: Jocat actually started a new Makeship run for the Crap Guide Goblin plush. This time he's a wizard goblin.
The redo of the Barbarian was actually done before Tasha's Cauldron, so there was no Wild Magic Barbarian at the time. And on the subject of Tasha's, they did in fact give us a new Artificer subclass in that book, called the Armorer, which I will summarise here:
Armorer, which lets you turn any suit of armour you come across, regardless of Strength, into your very own custom built Iron Man suit. It can be used as a Spellcasting Focus, can't be taken off unless you want it to and can instantly be put on and taken off as an action (which is bloody fantastic since Full Plate usually takes 10 minutes to sort out). Additionally, it gains special features based on what model you use (with extra features at higher level), and the models can be switched around when necessary. For Guardian, you have a temp HP generator and your gauntlets deal Thunder damage. For Infiltrator, you get extra movement, a small Lightning beam from your palm or chest (very huge Iron Man vibes here) and the ability to give yourself Advantage on Stealth rolls (or outright cancelling the Disadvantage of heavier armour). 9th level is...very confusing though, and there's been no clear ruling about it. What 9th level is meant to do is that it treats your armour as 4 separate parts for your Infusions, and lets you infuse an extra two items more than usual (as long as they're parts of your armour). The issue here is how this rule works if your Arcane Armour is already magical (like for example an Adamantine Full Plate).
The greatest mystery of Texas Instruments: Where were they were sourcing that same antique model LCD screen they used for at least three decades in their overpriced calculators?
Not entirely related to the video, but what is your favourite D&D race?
Comment readers, you can also answer.
Mine is Tabaxi.
Haven't played enough yet to have a favorite, but I'm enjoying the vanilla half elf so far.
Now that you’re getting close to the end of this series I’d recommend his crap guides to monster hunter. They were the originals and the inspiration for this series!
The JoCat Goblin Plushies were commercially available soon after this video came out, but unsure if they are still available
the mentioning of "takeing notes" reminded me of the 2019 Pax Unplugged "Animating D&D on TH-cam" Panel with Puffin Forest, JoCat and Dingo Doodle ... might be a bit long for a reaction but there are some fun moments in there
YASSSS!!! Just a couple more vids until Crap Guide to Dungeon Master, this is going to be beautiful!!!
One of my favorite things about kobold’s is their “cower, beg, plea” feature. It’s a great support ability and one of the only feature’s whose name sounds uncool.
As a person who played a kalashtar monk, I can say that while the race is a bit clunky in certain areas (especially the way I had to work it) it's fun to basically say no when the dm tries to knock you out with sleep spells.
The Barbarian bit reminded me of one of the campaigns which we had a dwarf barbarian which was mute and refused to wear clothing so would run around everywhere in absolutely nothing. (And when bored would helicopter...)
Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, which came out in November 2020, added a new subclass for Artificer called the Armourer, Artificer originally came out in Eberron: Rising from the Last War in November 2019
now just need Crap guide to DMing
playing a goblin ranger here. It's so fun to be able to hide and shoot every turn without multiclassing, and as a goblin I can just use the argument of "I'm a goblin" if I want to do something really stupid like put on a necklace I found in a cult temple before any of the "smart and carful" partymembers even got a chance to look at it. Also with a drake sidekick is really fun.
Realy looking forwards to seeing your reaction to JoCats Dungeon Master video, It is awesome.
Amazing episode, Hay if your needing more dnd videos you should react to the animated spellbook!
i remember my first goblin encounter, lore had my kobold druid stripped of equipment, but i still had a snake familiar and the ability to enhance that poison bite... the DM informed me later that i overkilled the goblin so hard his entire ancestral line got poisoning symptoms... i think my snake familiar may have been a bit OP... didn't stop me from using fire belly on both of us though.
Now there's only the Alignment, Character Sheet and DMing episodes left, I think. These past few were really funny while doing basic class descriptions, but these three are actually genuinely helpful on top of being extremelly funny.
I feel if joCat ever made little figures of his D&D character that he made for this series I would buy every single one.
Real disappointed by the lack of people pointing out that the Races rap is done to the instrumental of Bo Burnham's "Rant" off of Words Words Words.
Oh I hear it now. I never noticed before.
Tasha's just came out not that long ago and the video was made before Tasha's cauldron of everything (where the wild magic barbarian is at) came out. Plus who knows if they'll do more books with new variants.
Just wait for the Crap Guide to DMs. That is a real flex. And a major Matt Mercer call back that some people miss.
Edit: Wait... Was that Nott from Critical Role during the attractive goblin part?
OMG, this is my first time coming back to the artificer video since I started watching the Unexpectables and... 6:22 IT'S LOG!
Centaurs are available in the Campaign Setting book Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica, which came out in November 2018
ive been here since 10k youve grown so much
Right!? This is insane!
😁👍
Hope you're having a nice day
What does Jocat fail at? I would say wisdom and dexterity are his dump stats.
Tiefling best imo
The goblin plushes are out of production now. The last set produced was the glow in the dark version. Jocat complained that the group that makes them won't do repeat orders so... yeah. I have one.
8:40 you are talking about the Armorer, yea it lets you turn armor into a suit that works like Iron Man, and with a short rest you can convert it between either Guardian or Infiltrator. Guardian gives you thunder punches (which you can use INT for) that gives enemies disadvantage when attacking anything but you until your next turn, and you have basically an energy shield that you can activate as a bonus action which gives you temporary HP equal to how many levels in artificer you have. Infiltrator gets a freaking iron man style ranged attack that deals 1d6 lightning damage (and once a turn you can deal an extra 1d6 on a hit), plus 5 extra movement and advantage on stealth (which cancels out any disadvantage from your armor).
Its a lotta fun, I am actually playing one in a futuristic dystopian setting with Snakes n Saloons stuff added in, I actually out damage the whole party at the moment (DM ruled that the Repeating Shot infusion will work on firearms so now I got a magic broomstick that does 2d12+6 damage a shot at fuckin level 3, although I have yet to roll well with damage and the DM is talking about having me swap to the weaker shotgun for balance, so I might actually fuckin dual wield magic boomsticks while the rest of the party has guns that they have to reload).
As someone who played Tortle, it's fun and quite accurate. I mean a max AC of 25 without any armor due to being a high dex Monk so yeah.
In an adventur where we was lvl 1
One of my party member tried to shot a crossbowbolt around the barbarian but rolled a nat 1. The dm had him roll to see if he hit the barbarian, nat 20. Dm said dobbelt damage didn't counded, and the barbarían was a golith so he could half it.
Jo cat is a literal bard. He plays multiple instruments in real life, can sing, talented artist, voice actor ect.
2:48 i have fond memories of my texas instrument, playing games on it that i got from a classmate's instead of paying attention
The box has to be a throwback to Tiny Box Tim
Have you seen his looping video of the goblin and Kobold adventure? Or the rhythm game one with the goblin throwing targets? Or the one where goblin tries to camp and train?
Been waiting for this
Hey Airier, have you seen JoCat's Tavern Crawl animation? If not, you definitely should, it's awesome.
31:11 That is not just any train... THAT'S THE PAIN TRAIN!
This was before the Theros book. Missing satyrs and Leonin. XD
