Like most everyone, I saw the thumbnail and said “Is that Jane from Outside Xbox?” And sure enough it is. Hopefully this means more and more crossover between the two channels!
I wanna see more of the Oxventurers teaching us things! I'm really hopeful Mike gets to teach about Class features because I'm imagining him reading his teleprompter and going, "Wait, WHAT? I have class features?"

Jane! It's always awesome to see a favorite TH-cam personality on a favorite channel I'm not used to seeing them on. It's the best kind of short term confusion!
@@Umbra-r4k oh, I know! I’ve been watching since they started. They aren’t all that clear on the rules, though, so I’m surprised she’s here to explain them! 😂
Should have used the tomato method. Strength is being able to crush a tomato Dexterity is being able to dodge a thrown tomato. Constitution is being able to eat a rotten tomato. Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit based salad. Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad [EDIT] There fixed it
hi there, should we add the proficiency bonus +2 to the ability check since the character is proficient in Arcana at 4:26? new dnd player trying to learn. thanks =)
JaneBooker Helper made me laugh out loud (because yes I get the reference but also because all I wanna see now is jane in full cosplay as Prudence with her book babies frisky and the darkness , explaining all the rules of dnd) ♡
As an rpg player (video games) who wants to love Baldur’s Gate 3, this video is very helpful. I understand what’s happening with those numbers and how i need to build my character now 😂❤️
Your example showed 2 skills that were relevant to identifying the create, but you used one when you added the bonus, do you always use one if there are 2 skills that could apply a bonus? Maybe always the highest?
So. Thanks for the video. There is just one thing that - after round about one year of playing D&D - I'm not sure with: What is all affected by Bard's "Jack of all Trades"?
Seems to me this is about 5e. The One D&D Unearthed Arcana combined Ability Checks, Saving Throws and Attack Rolls together into what it calls a "D20 Test"
@@EnchantedCharm ok I just found it odd that we’re getting this kind of video now as we’re getting ready for the next evolution of D&D and there’s already so many videos covering this topic for 5e🤔
@@saviourking2548 yes but this isn't a "new" edition of D&D, D&D One is taking 5e rules and continuing to make them better, they even said that all 5e rules can be used in D&D One
@@shiekahfan01 yes, this seems to be more of a revision than a new edition. Point I was making is that they've given playtests a codename that isn't the final name before.
QUESTION: GOLIATH UNDER DOUBLED WEIGHT By adjusted density by graviturgist ARE YOU NOW CONSIDERED LARGE IN ALL PHYSICAL ABILITY CHECKS as LITTLE GIANT AND Proficiency in Athletics goliaths racial ability triggers? Volos says Goliath weight a minimum of 200lbs so a obese goliath can weight easily over 350 doubled goliath weight range = 400lbs - 700lb and a bit over that means anyone pushing hauling or dragging you if large or smaller is testing there ENCUMBRANCE. Adult red dragon 60x27=1620 Young red dragon 30x23=690 so a goliath can weight more than a Young red Dragon, and goliaths can drag a red dragon With str 18 each goliath dragging 1080 lbs A gang of 10 goliath barbarians are more terrifying than a Adult red dragon Add a siege weapon they can all pull one and its a 10 individual Army conquering kingdoms with pure muscle. AND THEY ARE ACCLIMATED TO EXTREME COLD so they can eat and hunt white chromatic dragons like a preferred delicacy. THEY ARE WHITE WALKERS COLD MEANS NOTHING TO THEM IM pretty sure graviturgist goliaths or goliaths hiring graviturgists would be so powerful Only Giff compare to out match the Goliath white walkers.
Anyone else find this video very strange? Offical DnD explains a core mechanic of their game almost a decade after release, and not using verbiage of their up and coming release (I.E. D20 test)
Strange video to release as they're about to change how this works 🤨 nat 20 does not make an automatic success but they're about to change it so it does. I think this is incredibly bad idea the 5th edition rules are near perfect and do not require an update wotc don't forget the mistakes of 4th. 🧐
A surprise to see Jane on the official D&D channel, but a welcome one.
Jane who?
@@mslabo102s2 The girl from OutsideXbox TH-cam channel
i had to see this commemt to be sure but i thought it had to be her now we need ellen here next!!!!!
Same here!
I mean they do stream their campaigns, and pretty sure she's a pretty big fan.
Like most everyone, I saw the thumbnail and said “Is that Jane from Outside Xbox?” And sure enough it is. Hopefully this means more and more crossover between the two channels!
100% my reason for clicking through. I already know what a skill check is and I'm a DM. No reason for me to be here otherwise.
I knew I recognized her from somewhere
I was like why is OxBox doing a dnd video that isn’t a campaign, also did they change their logo? Oh sh** official channel
I wanna see more of the Oxventurers teaching us things!
I'm really hopeful Mike gets to teach about Class features because I'm imagining him reading his teleprompter and going, "Wait, WHAT? I have class features?"
Mike: Since when can you teleport in D&D??? Ridiculous!
Pretty sure mike knows them.
He just finds it funny to not use them
luke the giant and ellen the tiny should get their turns too!!!
@@bjam89 I'm honestly not sure.
@@bjam89 yeah he's said as much but still don't think he "knows" them like has he ever used divine smite?

Jane recklessly endangers the Oxventurers' hard won reputation of barely acknowledging that the rules exist.
you guys as you know that chick very well, what is clearly not the case
Yay for Jane! I've been watching Oxventure since the start. The whole crew is amazing and Johnny as DM deserves so much credit!
This isn't an OutsideXtra video!
This is an excellent reading, hope to see you on here more often.
Jane! It's always awesome to see a favorite TH-cam personality on a favorite channel I'm not used to seeing them on. It's the best kind of short term confusion!
Its so cool to see Jane on the official D&D channel!
Jane is pretty good at explaining mechanics.
Jane's surprise appearance on the official D&D TH-cam!? This is awesome!
Good to see Jane. Watching the Oxventurers has shown me there's more than just one way to enjoy D&D.
Jane!! Great to see you here! What strings did Cthulhu dad have to pull to get you on the official D&D channel?
Hey outsidexbox here!
A very good video explaining everything. Glad to see they are allowing a longer video and covering just one mechanic at a time.
Glad to have you here, Jane! I was kind of expecting some off camera banter to interrupt you at some point
Oh my gods, now I know Oxventure is gonna become official D&D canon!
I wanna read a D&D novel that follows the misadventures of the Oxventurers next!
It feels weird not seeing andy or mike interrupt her
This is quite the welcome surprise to see jane on this channel!
Possibly the easiest to follow video I have seen discussing ability checks. Well done and thank you.
Jane? From OutesideXBox?! When did you start working for the Dungeons & Dragons channel? If you’re just a guest speaker, I hope you had fun!
They plsy a lot of D&D on their channel. Not gonna lie.

@@speculativemusings3593 Yeah, though they really have gotten a BIT better at rules as they go. I think some of them even understand spell slots now.

I believe you have WIS and INT crossed there

Isn't a tomato based fruit salad just salsa?
A wild Jane appears!
I was gonna make the same joke haha
Oh hai!
@@nightcatarts Fancy seeing you here!
Now do one with Johnny!
Wtf I thought I clicked on an OutsideXbox video for a second. Nice surprise though
Hi Jane!!!!! I had to double check which channel I was watching! Also, what is with that new character sheet?
Glad someone else noticed the character sheet layout!
Oh wow they got a real life warlock on. Wonder how many souls it cost
all of em.
I'm just here to say hi to Jane. Hi Jane!
Jane from Oxbox on D&D? More crossovers like this, please!
we need ellen next!
Too true!
OH MY GOD JANE!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Cool to see Jane from OXBOX on here ❤️
THATS JANE FROM OXBOX!!
Props to the Oxventurers! Well done guys!
Just received the Starter Kit and Ordered the Essentials Kit too... I still remember my first D&D session...Seriously maaaaaaaaaaaaany decades ago....
It's Jane! Prudence is my hero.
It's just so amazing how well Prudence masks her horns and skin color and such, to appear as a human.
Hey! Jane! Fancy seeing you here!
I will say as well, quite a nice video! I might show this to some of my new players in future!
Woah its Jane awesome.
Reading the comments I'm not sure if this a d&d video or a Jane video.
Obviously a Jane appreciation video ;) ♡
Oh I love Jane!! So cool seeing her in D&D vids
I'm no dnd newbie I just came here to support our future overlord Jane
hi there, should we add the proficiency bonus +2 to the ability check since the character is proficient in Arcana at 4:26? new dnd player trying to learn. thanks =)
Oh I’ve been wondering the same!
Yea im thinking the same thing, why she only add the arcana bonus +5 and not also the ability +1 bonus aswell
I was scrolling through the comments to find that answer, however, when searching through other things I have confirmed that you would.
Yas, Jane Douglas!
Jane! Great crossover! Hope we see the whole crew
Jane Douglas on the official D&D channel!!! I guess I'm done with pathfinder. 🙃
unfortunatly yes.
HAIL TO THE QUEEN
I wonder if anyone actually clicked on this video to learn what an ability check was.
Doin the maths. Saw her learn these on Oxventure.
Hey, wait! Outside Xbox!? This isn’t your channel! What’re you doing here?!?
Hey Oxventurers!!!
Crossover! love me a good crossover…Cthulhu will pleased
Plus one to Jane. JaneBooker Helper!
JaneBooker Helper made me laugh out loud (because yes I get the reference but also because all I wanna see now is jane in full cosplay as Prudence with her book babies frisky and the darkness , explaining all the rules of dnd) ♡
This should be like the most simple rule, but so many people still dont seem to understand when and why ability check rolls should be made

Your example showed 2 skills that were relevant to identifying the create, but you used one when you added the bonus, do you always use one if there are 2 skills that could apply a bonus? Maybe always the highest?
Omg, so nice to see you in here!
Is the rest of Outside Xbox doing official D&D videos too?
I wish I could like the video multiple times just for Jane.
Where does the +5 bonus come from in the ability check?
So. Thanks for the video. There is just one thing that - after round about one year of playing D&D - I'm not sure with: What is all affected by Bard's "Jack of all Trades"?
It’s Jane! Gotta represent Team Oxventures!
Oh no, Jane's found a way to get around the outside Xbox/Xtra containment fields!!!
OMG ITS JANE!
Yay Jane's here hello Jane👋
Is this a One D&D video or a D&D 5e video or is it for both and the rules in the new books are the same as the old ones in 5e books?

Thumbs up for Jane OX 😀
Did not expacted to see jane from outside xbox here but I welcome it.
I wanna work as a Writer/Game Designer for Wizards of the cost's Dungeons and Dragons. How?
After having recently watched outside xbox play a bunch of hitman vids, I was like is that the chick from there what is she doing on this channel. Lol
Hey it's Jane! Awesome!
Jane from outside xbox? Awesome
I’m not sure if any of that is true cause you can never trust a Tiefling.
Jane! Fancy seeing you here!
Jane! Jane!! Jane!!!
i cannae believe it its jane of OX!!
JANE!!!
Somehow, someway, we will find a way to teach dnd that doesn't last half an hour.
Hi, Jane!
JANE!!!!!
There isn't any rules for breaking things though bizarrely
Only reason I watched this or am commenting is because I saw Jane from Outside Xbox
Love these
Hello Jane. 👋 Love to you here ❤️
Woah Outside Xbox!!!
An ability check is an design error.
Bekkiboom!
Im glad DND knows most of its new player base just dont read the books/ basic rules
Can’t wait for 6th edition!
I think they're going with one'th edition, something of an xbox naming scheme. Maybe that's why Jane's here?
@@alantbaird when D&D 5e was being playtested, they called it D&D Next.
@@saviourking2548 yes but this isn't a "new" edition of D&D, D&D One is taking 5e rules and continuing to make them better, they even said that all 5e rules can be used in D&D One

@@shiekahfan01 Not to be anal, but "One D&D", not "D&D One".
It's not about numeration, but about unification.
It would be greatly appreciated if you didn’t spoil Starter Kit content with new players. I can’t use this if I’m running Stormwreck.
Ummm excuse me miss I think you mean a D20 Test 🤓

QUESTION: GOLIATH UNDER DOUBLED WEIGHT By adjusted density by graviturgist
ARE YOU NOW CONSIDERED LARGE IN ALL PHYSICAL ABILITY CHECKS as LITTLE GIANT AND Proficiency in Athletics goliaths racial ability triggers?
Volos says Goliath weight a minimum of 200lbs so a obese goliath can weight easily over 350
doubled goliath weight range = 400lbs - 700lb and a bit over that means anyone pushing hauling or dragging you if large or smaller is testing there ENCUMBRANCE.
Adult red dragon 60x27=1620
Young red dragon 30x23=690 so a goliath can weight more than a Young red Dragon, and goliaths can drag a red dragon
With str 18 each goliath dragging 1080 lbs
A gang of 10 goliath barbarians are more terrifying than a Adult red dragon Add a siege weapon they can all pull one and its a 10 individual Army conquering kingdoms with pure muscle.
AND THEY ARE ACCLIMATED TO EXTREME COLD so they can eat and hunt white chromatic dragons like a preferred delicacy.
THEY ARE WHITE WALKERS COLD MEANS NOTHING TO THEM
IM pretty sure graviturgist goliaths or goliaths hiring graviturgists would be so powerful
Only Giff compare to out match the Goliath white walkers.
… You wrote your stats wrong…
Omg all these years without understanding until this video 🙄
