Shout out to one of my friends, and players, Peter for helping out with this video!! Also what are some of your favorite bad traits to give to your dnd characters??
Tried that once on session. Killed DM and two other players, heavily injured everyone else in the building and was arrested for arson and other nasty stuff. Never brought any cocktails to sessions ever since.
I made one of those! Except she'd never join any thieves' guild. A boggle rogue who's so anti-theft she's anti-looting. Those battle spoils better be going to the families, not the fairs! And those dungeon treasures better end up in a museum, not a market! She didn't learn their cant so she can talk to them, she learned it so she can know who's asking for a well oiled dagger in the back. Paladins you have your smite that comes from magic, this is mine and it comes from a mechanical genius's anatomical precision!
I actually just finished playing a barbarian with depression. His 'rage' was him becoming even more depressed to the point his sadness actually hurt the enemy and he was so numb that he didn't notice most of him getting hit.
In defense of the yoga barbarian, that sounds amazing. Like his rage is just passive aggression and eventual physical aggression when he loses his pose.
Sounds like the monk character from Slay the Spire. Half her skillset is "lose your shit and recklessly beat the shit out of everyone", while the other half is all about staying calm and centered.
I always liked the idea of a powerful orc barbarian who was incredibly powerful, but their constant anger ended up giving them a heart attack. After recovering, they have to avoid getting angry or they could have another heart attack and now they're a monk who is always doing breathing exercises, drinking tea, and avoiding conflict, saying things like "I'm sensing a lot of negativity from you. Maybe we should calm down and talk about this over a cup of tea."
Can't some warlocks have celestial patrons? I heard about a group that called themselves crusaders or something because they all coincidentally chose builds that involved good aligned characters with divinely gifted abilities or something
A wizard who can't read: Their spellbook is a rich tapestry whose patterns, while not writing, guide them to prepare their spells. When copying spells, they don't copy down the writing but rather tap into the pure magical essence of the written spell, drawing on it to add to their own spellbook
Or you could go with one of my player's more interesting ideas, a familiar that's a literate parrot. It does all the reading because the wizard while they aren't completely blind are too stubborn to learn Braille or admit they might need glasses 😂
I have a blind water genasi divination wizard who uses magical truesight that can channel through their fingers to read. It was the best I could come up with as a fantasy version of Braille. Also they wear a robe of eyes lol
@@azarinevil reminds me of the character Wisteria of the webcomic Aerial Magic. Shes a witch who is text-blind and so her familiar (a bird named Puppy) reads stuff for her
I would totally love to see/join a missionary-based campaign with Cleric, Paladin and Celestial Warlock all devoted to the same deity and constantly bickering about the nuances of theology and their grasp of it. Bonus points if an atheist Rogue or Bard is also a member of the party, regularly fed up with the three, in his words, "blabbering their bullshit again".
@@Alche_mist you could also have a divine soul sorcerer literally decended from the God. with the right God, you could get a druid in on this mess too.
@@SerialElfYT That plan is right up there with the "all bard party" where no matter what, every party member is either a bard of some specialization, or a bard multuclass. Their whole campaign is built around their gigs, with dungeon delving being incidental, or about retrieving bard related stuff
@@isabellea7913 My dnd character committed a murder on a rather high profile figure to protect his family, but this ended up leading to a forced split from their home as a result. He is wanted for the murder, but his race makes it easier for him to hide (he is an anthro crow). He is morally confused because he wants to do good and be a good character to make up for his mistakes, but his talent in assassination makes it hard on him.
The yoga barbarian actually sounds quite original, like he's gonna coach the 327 year old wizard to fix his joints, and even increase the flexibility of the rogue
It also kind of makes sense for character development : a barbarian with anger issues takes up yoga to help control his rage. But than he should lose the ability to reckless rage and get something else instead.
Fun fact in the french tabletop roleplay "the dungeon of Naheulbeuk" there is a goddess of wine, and if the dm is nice with you, you can chose to be her paladin or her cleric
Fighter: I SUMMON THE SPIRIT OF AN ALTERNATE TIMELINE Also fighter: I STRIKE HIS BLADE SO THAT HE IS DISARMED Also fighter: I CAST FIREBALL Barbarian: it's ragin' time
I sent this video to my D&D group and they actually really loved the idea of A Barbarian who poops when he rages, and we've homebrewed in that whenever our Barbarian rages he has to roll a D4, if it's a 2 or 3 he doesn't poop, if it's a 1 then he poops and gets so embarrassed by it that he looses all the rage benefits, and if he rolls a 4 then he poops and it fills him with so much extra rage that he has all of the stat improvements doubled (or something like that)
Ha, when I started reading this, I was thinking he poops himself if he rolls a [number] 2. If he rolls a 1, he just pees; if he rolls a 3... Well. I no longer want to go down this line of thought.
Actually, an alcoholic Paladin sounds like an interesting character. He probably was a devoted follower of their god, but something happened in their past and now they escape their pain with a cup of ale. And maybe through character development the Paladin finally faces his demons (either figuratively or literally) and lets go of the bottle to once again walk in the light as a faithful Paladin... and face the BBEG.
In a one shot I ran one of the premade was a Paladin who had spent all his life fighting the forces of evil, he'd seen so much dark twisted and fucked up shit, well it drove him to the drink. It makes a lot of sense really for a good hearted person who devotes their life to hunting down some of the most dark and twisted evils imaginable to carry a lot of baggage. Just think about what cops, and soldiers go thru, and suddenly you realize that you don't need to make a Paladin a frothing Zealot or a Sanctimonious prick to make them human. You just need to show the reality of what it would be like for a traditional Paladin with their noble soul to have seen the sorts of horrors that Paladins devote their lives to fighting against. Alcoholism might be tame in comparison to the kind of damage some Paladin's might have to drag around.
our paladin is devoted to Odin but after his wife passed he turned to alcohol as a form of worship. I'm curious to see where this goes. also he, the bard and the fighter have made a promise to bang my druid's mom please send help
"Oi! Paladin, could I get a heal!" "Sorry, all I've got is a courage potion" "Oh, I could use that!" "Here you go! *hands them a bottle of Jack Daniels* liquid courage!"
To be fair, the gassy rogue could be more effective at being "silent but deadly." Edit- Also a germophobic barbarian could just be one of the celtic tribes that fought naked. Supposedly because they didnt want blood on their clothing (under the impression that it spread disease).
Omw, I'm laughing at the idea of a barbarian spending the first turn calmly taking off their clothes and neatly folding them up at the start of every battle.
“A Barbarian who Poops when he Rages” Not a problem for those with loincloths 😏 And this opens up intimidation tactics against everyone in the area, perfect for a werewolf with barbarian levels!
The ranger with cartoon physics, paladin with alcoholism, a bard who doesn't know what a dragon is, and a barbarian yoga instructor sounds like pretty good characters to play as tbh
Honestly the barbarian yoga instructor is pretty feasible, you could play him as someone who's usually really zen and that's why his rages are so powerful
yoga instructor barbarian honestly sounds really fun one minute they're trying to defuse confrontations with calming words and deep breaths, the next they're literally folding goblins in half
I just imagined a dyslexic warlock that is so bad at reading the terms of his own contract that he even manages to confuse his own patron in a drawn-out argument over said rules, thus causing the fiend to accidentally break the contract and be punished by the forces of hell. It already happened twice, and his patron is now desperate to get rid of the contract, which he can't legally do - and the warlock doesn't cooperate because he wants to keep his magical powers.
Actually, the only difference between my current character and that last one is that she’s a Hexblade rather than a Fiendlock! I always love giving my characters realistic mental illnesses, and I just hope my party doesn’t find this comment before she reveals that she can’t really read…
@@NerdAlert42 Plot Twist: The Patron got them to sign the Pact fully intent on corrupting them and collecting their soul when the time came. But the Warlock is actually super nice and thinks of the Patron as a friend. He brings the Patron souvenirs from his adventures, contacts the Patron even when he doesn't need anything to just check up on things, ect. This goes on for a while, until the Patron's higher-ups start pressuring them to collect the Warlock's soul. The Patron is panicking, trying to make excuses as to why he can't collect the Warlock's soul yet; but the higher-ups are loosing their patience because they have a quota to fill, and it's due date is fast approaching...
How about Rincewind from the Diskworld? The most powerful spell in the universe, a spell so powerful it gained sentience, has taken up residence in his head. But it's too powerful for him to cast it, it takes up so much space no other spells can fit, and he can't get rid of it.
@@suzannepottsshorts mimics only wish they could imitate The Luggage! If I had to build a D&D equivalent of The Luggage, it would be a Greatwyrm that got bored and True Polymorphed itself into a Mimic, then swallowed a Portable Hole.
I'm currently playing an alcoholic paladin of Bacchus, and the backup for if he dies is a Drow that grew up afraid of the dark, so all this has done is given me even more ideas!
A drow raised above ground with bad experiences after nightfall. A washed up one tricker who mourns their wasted talents. A friend of an evocationist wizard and/or artillerist artificer who's learned to play their instrument by memory, like Mozart. All interesting concepts if played out.
0:03 Felix the Sculptor (sometimes despectively known as "the Illiterate), a man who was raised by an ancient wizard as part of a secret experiment on the limits of magic, which was deemed too unethical by other mages of the world. Instead of using a spellbook, he's made small sculptures of every spell he knows, which he seems to use to gather the information needed for spells; he posseses an ability to perceive and sculpt magic into a visual metaphor. 0:22 Basically the Plague Doctor from the SCP Foundation; a person who believes they're on a quest to heal the sick and injured from the horrors of life, but is actually being deceived by their patron into committing sacrifices. 0:26 Ylde Mallister, an Eladrin princess of spring who was born with a weak physique, and a terrible allergy to pollen. This was seen as a curse by her clan, and she was exiled out of it, stripped of her royal title and left to fend for herself in the nearest human kingdom; now, she seeks revenge on the Eladrin monarchy as a Druid of Wildfire 1:16 Abyss Tidepool, a daring pirate who was betrayed by his crew and thrown off the boat. His genasi nature allowed him to survive in the bottom of the ocean, but for a long time he didn't have the strength to pull himself back up. After spending years on the ocean floor (I wanna say 100, just for the Dio reference...), He's rescued by a crew of fishermen, who happen to be around the area; taking over the ship, Abyss now scours the seas, looking for the crewmates that betrayed him, seeking to exact his revenge. 1:25 Karrash Spinebreaker, an orc who was the mightiest defender of his hometown, but who saw his people and family fall to a foe far stronger than him: illness. A sickly infection massacred the town, and the only fact Karrash was able to comprehend was that the blood of those who were sick transmitted the disease. Thus, fearing that it may one day come to claim him, he cleans off all blood from his weapons, hoping this will keep it at bay. 2:18 Karen, Edge of Duality, a human woman renowned in her quaint hometown by her wisdom and inner peace; in reality, her tranquility is but a facade, destined to hide the horrible truth that she once was a soldier for the crown, who found out the terrible things that were done to the war prisoners and went mad with the realization, becoming unstable and murdering friend and foe alike, until the kingdom's army was no more. She has calmed down and managed to become a healthier, more graceful person, but you better make your peace with your gods if you wish to push her off the edge... 2:32 Turmeric Trufflebottom, a gnome who tried to enter every martial arts monastery in the country and was rejected by every single one due to his lack of commitment and strength. Basically Dan Hibiki from Street Fighter; he's managed to create an entire martial arts style based on the moves and techniques he's seen in passing, but he mostly relies on making the opponent hurt themselves more 2:39 George, Scourge of War, a paladin who discovered a divine touch in their fighting style, but the blessing came also with the curse of constantly being aware of the lives and families he's snuffing out in every battle. He drinks to forget the pain and keeps telling himself that it's all for the right cause, but the alcohol does nothing to help but cloud his judgement further, leading to more reckless and bloodthirsty decisions to regret once sober. So then, why ever be sober? While drunk, the world is his oyster... 3:15 Dahlia Escher, legendary crook who's rumored to have stolen life from Death itself. However, she once stole from a wrathful fey lord, who decided to punish her by taking away her ability to lie, through cunning trickery that left her in this state until she gives up her life of crime and willingly gives herself to the authorities. Dahlia has since taken it as a challenge, though, and still keeps on stealing to spite the fey lord and to further test her own ability
I actually made a rouge that never tells a lie, but what he does, is deceives people by leading them towards making false assumptions. For example: if I killed someone, but I didn't want others to know, I wouldn't say, "I didn't kill him." I would say, "I sent him on his way," and I would think to myself, "to the afterlife."
Yeah, interestingly, that is a philosophy and religous conviction that some have taken in history when comes to lying under oath and perjury, particularly one time concerning a catholic priest who was a traitor to the English crown, but would tell half the truth, and finish the rest in his head to dodge it. I think that is how the Story went...
3:06 okay but I actually like this one and the one after The artificer was always trying to run his own dangerous experiments in class and kept ignoring all the safety guidelines And honest rouges are kinda funny and some of the best rp people out there
As someone who played as a functioning alcoholic paladin, it was extremely fun. A shit ton of drunken speech just going "I bet my God can kick your Gods ass".
My bard was not horny. In fact, they are aro/ace. They also don't know how to play instruments. They just really know how to use their words and say the right thing. They were also a cult leader but no one knew it was a cult except the DM and me. The DM even included the cult as a homebrew religion so I could claim my character is a priest without having anyone get suspicious. We went to great lengths to make the rest believe they are a cleric. Once the party found this artefact, he stole it and "died". I started playing a new character and they returned in a later session as the bbeg
This makes me laugh harder than it should, because our paladin is a severe alcoholic and our warlock never actually sleeps. We are the golden disaster party.
"A fighter who is basic." Nah, my current fighter is the best. She's a 40 year old chaotic good human woman with the attitude of a 10 year old and the intelligence of a sack of potatoes and it's amazing.
I made mine a Local hero so that commoners trust him, but in secret he abuses his closest admirers or newly found friends to cope with near death experiences and to learn from them nearly dying, while also constantly hiding his identity that he is a tiefling by always being covered in clothes. So effectively I have made a sociopath to balance out the horny fighter arcane archer criminal mastermind, the slave goblin criminal player (not sexually, basically first mate but the development between the two is idk yet.) to said arcane archer, a really innocent Bard-barian with thunder thighs that is easily distracted by cute things, and a aakraarn arkarn the big bird people paladin who I don't even what is his character. In retrospect, it seems I made a really evil person to balance out the horny evil and oddly good people that are in this party.
a germophobe Paladin would be hilarious. I already am thinking about creating one. Her hometown improved greatly through hygiene policies, and the count who invented them was made a saint when he died. So she worships this count and is now trying to bring cleanliness to other cities, by teaching people to bury their poop and food scraps in the forest instead of just leaving it in the town. And by declaring everyone who throws their trash in the water a heretic, and killing that person. Oh, and she burns rats instead of just decapitating them.
2:40 This subclass exists. Its called "the oath of getting blackout drunk and wandering into a church" Class features include: •always buzzed but never drunk •Everything is a d12 weapon, exepct actual weapons •Crying in the middle of a battle making everyone uncomfortable •have an aura that makes everyone within 30ft you drunk on a failed save
I've never met a master of drunken boxing, but I have received things they've shipped me from Amazon. Who puts a DVD in a 12" x 12" x 16" box with ONE air pillow packer?
You know a toilet lid is what I designed the shield I gave my human to look like. It really isn't much different from a Heta Shield other then the material I crafted it from.
What happens if the wizard misinterprets the toilet paper and rediscovers a lost magic? You should be rolling a d100 of random magic spells you come up with everytime you cast magic from a toilet paper
I played a character that claimed to be a wizard. But I made him a rogue. He would try and cast fireball and then yell “dear god! They are magic proof!” Then have to pull out his daggers. He would greet people with his name “rogu-or the wizard”. Took about two sessions for the others to start figuring it out
That sounds like a character I made in Morrowind. She was a Redguard woman who took a whole bunch of Stealth skills + Alchemy and Enchant, and she was carrying as much enchanted jewelry and scrolls as she could to be able to pass herself off as a stealthy sorcerer.
Mine's a summoner/utility mage, I don't have Fireball, Lightning Bolt, Melf's acid arrow... any of those. However, I can give you a facefull of Large size category celestial augmented centipede with a 2nd level spell, so i'm not exactly useless in combat.
"A Warlock who thinks they're a Cleric." Otherwise known as Celestial Warlock. "A Warlock with Insomnia." Otherwise known as Pact of the Moon Keeper, or the Coffeelock Sorcerer + Warlock multiclass.
My first D&D Character ever was a rogue who couldn't touch gold. Doing so directly would give a third degree burn. Using gloves or putting it in a bag would only slightly lessen the effect. Not even mage hand would work for me. Don't mess with wizards. A rogue who fears money is quite the interesting character.
Me and my friends at one point actually made characters who almost perfectly align with these, we had A Blind Warlock/Ranger A Druid with Allergies A Wizard who can't Read
1:40 Ironically, Warlocks are the ONE spellcasting class that never needs to sleep - a short rest (which does NOT have to involve sleep) is all they need. The Irony gets even bigger once you realize that one of the most powerful and infamous builds in the entire game of 5e, the "Coffelock", is a Warlock/Sorcerer Multiclass that can generate an infinite number of spell slots PROVIDED they never sleep. Throw in two or five levels of paladin for extra smiting fun!
I want to say that seems more like a warlock, but warlocks are explicitly stated to get their powers from beings who *aren't* gods... Eh, Cleric of the Satantic Church accepted. I recently saw someone using the Flying Spaghetti Monster, actually...
"a paladin who is drunk" Legit my character. He's addicted to an alcohol that makes draconics feel great when they drink it. Just so happens he is Dragonborn :p
3:06 and 3:33 I've actually done in a way, though not as dramatic at those 2😂 My artificer constantly built things as a child, though all of her creations would blow up. After leaving her family and town (who all hated her because she constantly had something exploding), she went to make a name of herself and made her company "Maverick's Solutions and Answers" or something like that. Each item had a "malfunction" for flavor (Ex. Google of Darksight would occasionally blind your eyes). My paladin liked to eat snacks but only because he didn't typically drink. So he usually had peanuts. He actually bought a jar of peanuts one time, which accidentally came in handy. We were in the fey wild and this hag would help us and give us the wish spell, but only if we have her something first. We were wondering what, the dm just saying some funny things. The warlock was about to sacrifice his arm, but the hag mentioned peanuts, and the dm forgot I had a jar, so my character was like "Sorry, did you say peanuts? Would this do?" It was fricking perfect!😂
Ever read the Wheel of Time books? The magic users (Aes Sedai) take an oath that will not let them lie. However, it sure AF lets them bend the truth and they become masters at it. It might be fun to play that way with a Rogue.
Lieing and not telling the truth are not the same thing. If you ask me a question and I don't answer, I did not lie. I did not tell the truth, but I did not lie.
So many loopholes. Unless you have some sort of qualifiers for only telling inconvenient truths then you're probably going to be fine. You could also use the alter memory spell for important stuff. 😉 Did you steal these
Guard: halt did you steal that ring Rogue: come on why would I steal a ring I don't even want and isn't even that valuable Guard: huh alright but I'm watching you Rogue later: so I can fence it for a candy bar lol
I was a guest in my best friends D&D party. My character (drow druid) was cursed into his duck form and the party had to save him. The evil king brought drinks out and we knew they were poisoned. I casted detect poison and knew it was a paralysis potion. Apparently, the barbarian was an alcoholic and even with the duck repeatedly shaking his head he downed the drinks. The cleric convinced the paladin to not drink it and the necromancer let his zombies drink the poisoned drink. It was hilarious.
2:40 so... now I’m making a paladin who swore an oath to Dionysus to be the life of the party ...and have his mighty powers So now I serve the god of madness and whine with a past in necromantic-like revival.... this should be fun! Edit: y’all better bet your asses I’m choosing the entertainer background
@@ryanv558 the guy’s power is basically that he has a magical roulette which summons his weapons, in exchange for having shit weapons in the roulette it also has weapons way above his power level(hunterxhunter’s “magic” system basically rewards you for adding limitations to your techniques)
@@victormagoco9752 Yeah it's kinda like that. He received an enchanted playing card deck with a wide range of weapons (for example, he can draw a longsword one round and draw a flip flop the next). I also tried to make the deck more dynamic by allowing him to "swap out" weapons in the deck for others he finds. I had to add a couple drawbacks and such to keep the deck from being too powerful and ruining the lucky part but its so worth it for the crazy combat sessions lol
When you play a sorcerer and you actually didn't choose fireball... but chose even better spells to cast that can be just as lethal Hes also an elf who screams while he meditates, and thusly takes eight hours to sleep instead of four...
@@Mirhaus Aganazzars Scorcher, Melfs Minute Meteors, and Maximilians Earthen Grasp... and he screams through his night terrors about the way his wife was killed... to which he still keeps her magically preserved dead severed hand strapped to his side and cuddles it when he's lonely
A similar thing happened to me too! My bard hates soldiers (because of his backstory) and my friend told me he was finally done with writing is background information on his sheet so I ask Me: "oh what background does he have?" Friend: "soldier" Me: *wheeze* "this is going to be intristing-" So I'm in a party of 3 (including me) and my character doesnt like one of them right off the bat 😂 doesn't help that he has already done things in the campaign that goes against my morals (I'm lawful Netrual) in only one battle and a conversation afterwards 🤣
Some of these bad traits seem like a good idea for a downside to a broken trait (imagine a warlock capable of summoning a demon lord but is plagued with horrible knightmares and so has a 1/4 chamce of failing at rest) or as a curse to be lifted
My drow paladin was an alcoholic and depressed... He's still one of my favorite characters who found his happiness in the end. But I can't forget how he roll nat 1 on Con Sawing throw... The orcish grog was too strong for him, and his hallucinations the party still remembers and it became even part of the setting, for now in this tavern orcish grog is not sold to those who are not orcs or half-orcs)
I have two competing orders of Paladins who worship the God of Ales, and the Goddess of Spirits. They hold the most insane drinking competitions in my campaign world to prove who has the drunkest followers. Best part is when the world is in danger they summon the combined might of their champions, the worst homeless alcoholics in the known kingdoms, to come harass evil with public urination, vomiting, and rants about how puppies are secretly a plot to assassinate orphans 😂.
02:00 Don't worry, you can still use lighting bolt. It does the same damage, and in this campaign nearly all the fights are the whole party vs one big enemy, so you don't need aoe.
As someone currently playing a warlock who thinks he is a cleric, I can say it is way more fun than it sounds. (but probably go w/ a celestial warlock if you're gonna do this (*cough cough* Healing Light *cough cough*))
I have a similar character - a kobold who thinks he’s the first cleric of Kurtulmak to ever exist (since the deity is trapped and can’t provide divine magic), but is actually a Divine Soul sorcerer.

A wizard who can't read: Their spellbook is a rich tapestry whose patterns, while not writing, guide them to prepare their spells. When copying spells, they don't copy down the writing but rather tap into the pure magical essence of the written spell, drawing on it to add to their own spellbook

He is morally confused because he wants to do good and be a good character to make up for his mistakes, but his talent in assassination makes it hard on him.
The yoga barbarian actually sounds quite original, like he's gonna coach the 327 year old wizard to fix his joints, and even increase the flexibility of the rogue
It also kind of makes sense for character development : a barbarian with anger issues takes up yoga to help control his rage.

I sent this video to my D&D group and they actually really loved the idea of A Barbarian who poops when he rages, and we've homebrewed in that whenever our Barbarian rages he has to roll a D4, if it's a 2 or 3 he doesn't poop, if it's a 1 then he poops and gets so embarrassed by it that he looses all the rage benefits, and if he rolls a 4 then he poops and it fills him with so much extra rage that he has all of the stat improvements doubled (or something like that)
Cool
LMFAO
poor barbarian 😂
4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhea
The one guy that enjoys it:
Ha, when I started reading this, I was thinking he poops himself if he rolls a [number] 2. If he rolls a 1, he just pees; if he rolls a 3... Well. I no longer want to go down this line of thought.
If it's a 4 can he also reach into his pants and use the poop as a thrown weapon or improvised weapon? That would be so hilarious!
Actually, an alcoholic Paladin sounds like an interesting character. He probably was a devoted follower of their god, but something happened in their past and now they escape their pain with a cup of ale. And maybe through character development the Paladin finally faces his demons (either figuratively or literally) and lets go of the bottle to once again walk in the light as a faithful Paladin... and face the BBEG.
In a one shot I ran one of the premade was a Paladin who had spent all his life fighting the forces of evil, he'd seen so much dark twisted and fucked up shit, well it drove him to the drink. It makes a lot of sense really for a good hearted person who devotes their life to hunting down some of the most dark and twisted evils imaginable to carry a lot of baggage. Just think about what cops, and soldiers go thru, and suddenly you realize that you don't need to make a Paladin a frothing Zealot or a Sanctimonious prick to make them human. You just need to show the reality of what it would be like for a traditional Paladin with their noble soul to have seen the sorts of horrors that Paladins devote their lives to fighting against.
Alcoholism might be tame in comparison to the kind of damage some Paladin's might have to drag around.
Or he worships Bachus. Or the Dwarven God of Ale. You get the idea.
His Aid and Heroism spells are basically just handing out Alcohol to his teammates
our paladin is devoted to Odin but after his wife passed he turned to alcohol as a form of worship. I'm curious to see where this goes. also he, the bard and the fighter have made a promise to bang my druid's mom please send help

0:03 Felix the Sculptor (sometimes despectively known as "the Illiterate), a man who was raised by an ancient wizard as part of a secret experiment on the limits of magic, which was deemed too unethical by other mages of the world. Instead of using a spellbook, he's made small sculptures of every spell he knows, which he seems to use to gather the information needed for spells; he posseses an ability to perceive and sculpt magic into a visual metaphor.
0:22 Basically the Plague Doctor from the SCP Foundation; a person who believes they're on a quest to heal the sick and injured from the horrors of life, but is actually being deceived by their patron into committing sacrifices.
0:26 Ylde Mallister, an Eladrin princess of spring who was born with a weak physique, and a terrible allergy to pollen. This was seen as a curse by her clan, and she was exiled out of it, stripped of her royal title and left to fend for herself in the nearest human kingdom; now, she seeks revenge on the Eladrin monarchy as a Druid of Wildfire
1:16 Abyss Tidepool, a daring pirate who was betrayed by his crew and thrown off the boat. His genasi nature allowed him to survive in the bottom of the ocean, but for a long time he didn't have the strength to pull himself back up. After spending years on the ocean floor (I wanna say 100, just for the Dio reference...), He's rescued by a crew of fishermen, who happen to be around the area; taking over the ship, Abyss now scours the seas, looking for the crewmates that betrayed him, seeking to exact his revenge.
1:25 Karrash Spinebreaker, an orc who was the mightiest defender of his hometown, but who saw his people and family fall to a foe far stronger than him: illness. A sickly infection massacred the town, and the only fact Karrash was able to comprehend was that the blood of those who were sick transmitted the disease. Thus, fearing that it may one day come to claim him, he cleans off all blood from his weapons, hoping this will keep it at bay.
2:18 Karen, Edge of Duality, a human woman renowned in her quaint hometown by her wisdom and inner peace; in reality, her tranquility is but a facade, destined to hide the horrible truth that she once was a soldier for the crown, who found out the terrible things that were done to the war prisoners and went mad with the realization, becoming unstable and murdering friend and foe alike, until the kingdom's army was no more. She has calmed down and managed to become a healthier, more graceful person, but you better make your peace with your gods if you wish to push her off the edge...
2:32 Turmeric Trufflebottom, a gnome who tried to enter every martial arts monastery in the country and was rejected by every single one due to his lack of commitment and strength. Basically Dan Hibiki from Street Fighter; he's managed to create an entire martial arts style based on the moves and techniques he's seen in passing, but he mostly relies on making the opponent hurt themselves more
2:39 George, Scourge of War, a paladin who discovered a divine touch in their fighting style, but the blessing came also with the curse of constantly being aware of the lives and families he's snuffing out in every battle. He drinks to forget the pain and keeps telling himself that it's all for the right cause, but the alcohol does nothing to help but cloud his judgement further, leading to more reckless and bloodthirsty decisions to regret once sober. So then, why ever be sober? While drunk, the world is his oyster...
3:15 Dahlia Escher, legendary crook who's rumored to have stolen life from Death itself. However, she once stole from a wrathful fey lord, who decided to punish her by taking away her ability to lie, through cunning trickery that left her in this state until she gives up her life of crime and willingly gives herself to the authorities.

Each item had a "malfunction" for flavor (Ex. Google of Darksight would occasionally blind your eyes).
My paladin liked to eat snacks but only because he didn't typically drink. So he usually had peanuts. He actually bought a jar of peanuts one time, which accidentally came in handy. We were in the fey wild and this hag would help us and give us the wish spell, but only if we have her something first. We were wondering what, the dm just saying some funny things. The warlock was about to sacrifice his arm, but the hag mentioned peanuts, and the dm forgot I had a jar, so my character was like "Sorry, did you say peanuts? Would this do?"
It was fricking perfect!😂
I saw the clip of the fireball from space and my brain gave me, "Eeeeex-plooooo-SION!"
(Then Magumin faints)
The honest rogue is actually quite fun to play. And pretty badass too if you declare you'll steal something, then proceed to actually manage it.
Honestly, that yoga instructor barbarian actually sounds like a really fun character to play.
Anger management counselor?
I mean, a rogue that cant lie sounds really fun to play. Thanks for the idea! Good luck future party!
Oh no :D
Ever read the Wheel of Time books? The magic users (Aes Sedai) take an oath that will not let them lie. However, it sure AF lets them bend the truth and they become masters at it.
It might be fun to play that way with a Rogue.
Lieing and not telling the truth are not the same thing.
If you ask me a question and I don't answer, I did not lie. I did not tell the truth, but I did not lie.
So many loopholes. Unless you have some sort of qualifiers for only telling inconvenient truths then you're probably going to be fine. You could also use the alter memory spell for important stuff. 😉
Did you steal these
Guard: halt did you steal that ring
Rogue: come on why would I steal a ring I don't even want and isn't even that valuable
Guard: huh alright but I'm watching you
Rogue later: so I can fence it for a candy bar lol
I was a guest in my best friends D&D party. My character (drow druid) was cursed into his duck form and the party had to save him. The evil king brought drinks out and we knew they were poisoned. I casted detect poison and knew it was a paralysis potion. Apparently, the barbarian was an alcoholic and even with the duck repeatedly shaking his head he downed the drinks. The cleric convinced the paladin to not drink it and the necromancer let his zombies drink the poisoned drink. It was hilarious.
A pyromancer with an extreme fear of fire
Hello Critical Role
"make a wisdom saving throw"
Caleb?
'A sorcerer who doesn't use fire ball'
Sophist: alright alright... I CAST THUNDER SPELL-
2:40 so... now I’m making a paladin who swore an oath to Dionysus to be the life of the party ...and have his mighty powers
So now I serve the god of madness and whine with a past in necromantic-like revival.... this should be fun!
Edit: y’all better bet your asses I’m choosing the entertainer background
It's been a year, did you choose you background yet?
"Bard cleric who can't control his vicious mockery" that is hilarious!
“An Artificer that failed science class.”
*Artificer blows up*
Honestly, I thought failure would be NOT blowing up. 😅
“Fighters are basic”
Me currently playing a home brewed luck based fighter whose weapon draw is based on a deck of playing cards: guess I’m basic
Kite from HunterxHunter?
@@_Woody_ no but i haven't seen hunterxhunter yet so idk
@@ryanv558
Ah ok well If I remember correctly he has to use a one armed bandit or something to choose his weapons for him.
@@ryanv558 the guy’s power is basically that he has a magical roulette which summons his weapons, in exchange for having shit weapons in the roulette it also has weapons way above his power level(hunterxhunter’s “magic” system basically rewards you for adding limitations to your techniques)
@@victormagoco9752 Yeah it's kinda like that. He received an enchanted playing card deck with a wide range of weapons (for example, he can draw a longsword one round and draw a flip flop the next). I also tried to make the deck more dynamic by allowing him to "swap out" weapons in the deck for others he finds. I had to add a couple drawbacks and such to keep the deck from being too powerful and ruining the lucky part but its so worth it for the crazy combat sessions lol
2:47 what if the Paladin's god is Dionysius?
Some of these unironically sound like great character concepts actually
...Good you play the pooping barbarian I'm going to play the gassy rogue.
When you play a sorcerer and you actually didn't choose fireball... but chose even better spells to cast that can be just as lethal
Hes also an elf who screams while he meditates, and thusly takes eight hours to sleep instead of four...
Okay I'm intrigued. What spell did he choose and why does he scream while meditating? :D
@@Mirhaus Aganazzars Scorcher, Melfs Minute Meteors, and Maximilians Earthen Grasp... and he screams through his night terrors about the way his wife was killed... to which he still keeps her magically preserved dead severed hand strapped to his side and cuddles it when he's lonely
@@dawnskgardner3290 Thanks for the reply!
>A Sorcerer who doesn't choose Fireball--
Lightning Bolt, durr!
>A Paladin who is an alcoholic
... so a dwarven Paladin. Check.
I once made my bard character terrified of fire after I found out the parties wizard was chaotic nuetral and was mostly going to use fire
BAHAHAHA-
A similar thing happened to me too!
My bard hates soldiers (because of his backstory) and my friend told me he was finally done with writing is background information on his sheet so I ask
Me: "oh what background does he have?"
Friend: "soldier"
Me: *wheeze* "this is going to be intristing-"
So I'm in a party of 3 (including me) and my character doesnt like one of them right off the bat 😂
doesn't help that he has already done things in the campaign that goes against my morals (I'm lawful Netrual) in only one battle and a conversation afterwards 🤣
@@RavynUnderscoreArtYT Bigger problem. Bard is Hella gay and Hella horny for the fire wizard.
Some of these bad traits seem like a good idea for a downside to a broken trait (imagine a warlock capable of summoning a demon lord but is plagued with horrible knightmares and so has a 1/4 chamce of failing at rest) or as a curse to be lifted
My drow paladin was an alcoholic and depressed... He's still one of my favorite characters who found his happiness in the end.
But I can't forget how he roll nat 1 on Con Sawing throw... The orcish grog was too strong for him, and his hallucinations the party still remembers and it became even part of the setting, for now in this tavern orcish grog is not sold to those who are not orcs or half-orcs)
The paladin: “my god needs more libations!”
“An introvert cleric/ a cleric with vicious mockery”
Stop calling my character out like this
"a sorcerer who doesn't choose fireball"
Well I just feel called out
An oath of throwing back paladin with no charisma and dexterity
but all the constitution
do we have to call the yoga barbarian to fix the dex problem?
“A paladin who is an alcoholic”
My friend who made a paladin who worships a home brewed god called “Dionysus”: Hmmm interesting 🤔
Homebrewed and called dionysus. Hmmm i wonder who inspired that one. 🤔
I have two competing orders of Paladins who worship the God of Ales, and the Goddess of Spirits. They hold the most insane drinking competitions in my campaign world to prove who has the drunkest followers. Best part is when the world is in danger they summon the combined might of their champions, the worst homeless alcoholics in the known kingdoms, to come harass evil with public urination, vomiting, and rants about how puppies are secretly a plot to assassinate orphans 😂.
@@azarinevil Oh no this guy has figured out the truth about puppies! Everyone scatter before the men in black show up.
02:00 Don't worry, you can still use lighting bolt. It does the same damage, and in this campaign nearly all the fights are the whole party vs one big enemy, so you don't need aoe.
As someone currently playing a warlock who thinks he is a cleric, I can say it is way more fun than it sounds. (but probably go w/ a celestial warlock if you're gonna do this (*cough cough* Healing Light *cough cough*))
I have a similar character - a kobold who thinks he’s the first cleric of Kurtulmak to ever exist (since the deity is trapped and can’t provide divine magic), but is actually a Divine Soul sorcerer.
And alcoholic Paladin is just a Knight from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”.
