when i was first starting out i asked a friend "how do i play rogue?" he explained quite simply that, "all you do is convince the DM to let you use sneak attack, then use sneak attack - you'll be fine" and i was fine.
Just make a Swashbuckler. That combined with the new Steady Aim feature means there are practically no situations in which you don’t get Sneak Attack. It’s in the RULES, DM!! Hah!
I can confirm that too. Cleric is one of my favorite classes. And the Barbarian is requesting a lot of me, why can't they ever play the Path Of The Zealot subclass? At least then I will not have to spend 300 gold every time I bring them back to life
@@fredericdmk5356 I play a Forge Cleric Warforged whose damaged body parts heat up & "reform" as if being repaired in a legit forge. His understanding as to why people are always needing him to heal them so much and why it looks so different baffle him. He's not dumb at all (int 10) but socially clueless & awkward (cha 8). As such he does eventually get that rule/annoyance.
Can confirm, my trickery cleric actually secretly hates most of the party except the rogue (actually intelligent) and the Warlock (who he admittely has the hots for). The artificer runs in headlong into fights because he's a ball of angry tiefling and the Druid went Moon-Moon the first time he wildshaped, and the fighter, he's kind of had a grudge toward for a long time because he got food poisoning from the fighter's cooking.
My first ever character was a half elf bard. My first roll was to escape jail. Knowing nothing about the history of bards, I say “I seduce the guard.” DM just lets out a deep, deep, deep sigh.
Any high charisma character should try that, unless they have another good angle. When I started playing TTRPGs I tried playing high charisma character and was SO SHY that it just never worked, the DMs wouldn't let me get by on just a roll, they wanted me to say something. But eventually Bard became my favorite class and I love playing the face, flirting your way in or out of a confrontation is just a very useful tool you have at your disposal.
Thats how my Bard got married to a lovey female Litch and is Co-Overlord of the Realm. DM made me retire that character after that, as he became the new BBEG
Despite having the lowest hp my wizard never went unconscious and became a running joke after he cleared encounters by himself using thunderwave. He also kept the party in line by slapping them.
My wizard not only died in my first campaign, not only in the first session, but actually died in our first combat. The boar rolled a 20 on a charge...
i dont take many short rests, i just run with my slightly superior movement speed with wood elf and the mobile feat while spamming eldritch blast behind me
Just to put this into perspective upon glancing Inflict wounds is a 1st level spell (from the very get go) that does 3d10 necrotic. A crit doubles the amount of dice. Upcasting Inflict Wounds adds 1d10 per level. so 3d10 1st level, becomes 6d10 4th level, becoming 12d10 on a crit. like, 66 damage easy
My very first DND character was an elven ranger. He was very useful. The majority of our campaign was in forested areas. And guess who had favored terrain in forested areas? This guy.
Yeah, Rangers can be super good depending on the game. It's always important to talk to your DM about this stuff before jumping into a class dependent on specific scenarios.
"Ranger bad" is a funny meme, but they are legit more powerful than all 4 classes without spells if you pick good spells on them. Their main problem is that their non-spell class features get real bad real quick after lvl 5.
@@brandonbrowning8723 Oh wow, you can take 2 attack actions on level 20. Soo impressed. I'll just be doing things like: - Creating surprise rounds with Pass Without Trace - Conjure Animal - Control the battlefield with spells like Spike Growth - Hard-countering many caster enemies with Silence - Going Barbarian levels of tanking with Stoneskin - Potentially deal 30d10 with Steelwind Strike And a whole lot more + utility + whatever I get from my subclass. Yeah, no. Fighters are not good. By the time their damage is okay, it has long since stopped mattering compared to control, defense and utility.
I was playing a fighter/monk multiclass and I cannot tell you the fear my DM got when I was granted haste, and said “I’m going to action surge, and use flurry of blows” The enemy was dead after the third attack but I just kept going to make a point

DM: "You do realize that you will have to make ridiculously high Tinkering checks in order to make what you want to craft, right?" Artificer: "Oh, no. It's fine. I multiclassed into Forge Domain Cleric."
"Well see, that's why I multiclassed with divination wizard after level 7 of artificer, started with a stone of good luck for my uncommon magic item, and took the lucky feat from my variant human feature." Seriously though, the artificer in one of my games has a +25 to all tool checks at level 10.
You literally can’t avoid combat with a Barbarian… I remember my DM trying to talk me out of attacking a giant hand that was sticking out of the ground… I ignored all his pleas, struck the hand, it turned out to be a small part of a dark god, and I was immediately turned into a statue. My group carried me around in the bag of holding and made fun of me for like 3 sessions.
Yeah... I play Pathfinder and I GM some games, but I chose my first barbarian class a few years into playing TTRPGs, going with the 3rd Party "Wolfshifter" barb class, which basically takes a standard Barbarian, adds some shifting aspects of nature classes, and turns your Rage Ability into a type of "werewolf" transformation... She also rolled 2 stats below 10, which I shoved right into INT and CHA... I justify it all with a "raised by wolves" backstory. Between her sheer stupidity, lack of understanding of society and other people, and her being an absolute unit from LVL1, she has caused more than a few issues in-game, but the table loves our party's dynamic. I actually murked a very awesome Silver dragon as her, despite knowing as a player that they're good, because she (and me as a player) had no idea it had helped another Player Party in the same universe, so when she saw the dragon transform in the town fountain from a fish, she just went for it solo with no questions asked. Now that is her water bowl, and she calls herself the "protector" of that town for "rescuing" them 💀
@@yourneighborhoodxenos I play a dwarf axe idiot it’s mostly just a Barbadian with spiky armor but it’s simple concept can be pretty useful. we had to home brew stronger and better spikes but that aside, covering the armor in poison/holy water and other interesting stuff kept it viable and made anything that tried to do melee with me think twice. Sadly I am the forever Gn now, I miss my axe welding hedge hog dwarf. He was from a hill clan thanks to his ancestor bringing dishonor to the clan and could speak the language of demons as well as common. The fact he could speak to a wild beholder was a bit too funny, the fact my guy could brew booze that gave off light and made mushroom clouds when ignited was even funnier, the fact I created a brewing cartel and over threw a lord with a int of 7 was something I’ll laugh about till I die.
as someone who barely just had their first session a barbarian in our group within first hour almost start 2 fights with the villager (and lost a fight with a chicken )
We frequently have to 'bribe' our cleric just to keep him around and do some healing. We allow him to walk away with more than anyone else gets to loot, he allows us to do stupid things and live to talk about it. It was, perhaps unsurprisingly, one of the first lessons I learned both as a player and as a DM. It doesn't matter what you try to achieve or how prepared you are, you'll never be completely ready for all the stupid shit people wanna do and no one feels that pain more than the guy who's responsible for keeping them alive. Hence, the only way we can get someone to play any kind of healer is to stack them with more loot or face an early grave.
My old school (way back in D&D 3.5) grumpy ass Dwarven Cleric was so tired of the party's crap after a few sessions that the only reason he stayed to heal was because he felt that if he didn't, the entire party would either kill themselves, or kill an entire village. Can you guess which one eventually ended up happening when I missed a session?
First session of our current game. We saw rats. I said "I shoot an arrow" DM looked at me "Are you sure? Your physic is terrible, your character background is LITTERALY about being bad with a bow" I nodded "How else am I supposed to hunt? With magic? And burn them? Don't be ridiculous, I don't eat cooked meat. So I shoot an arrow" *roll the dice* critical failure DM: You shot the tank. He hates you now.
It was my first time playing a wizard and I used a spell and said summon ostrich. Everyone looked at me like what the hell. The dm looked it up and the ostrich actually has some good stats. My dm said I don't like it but am intrigued. Honestly I said that as joke and did not expect him to say yes, but with that said I murdered all the goblins
In a campaign were I'm an artificer, I accidentally built a death orb that's also a nuke, ended up using it to kill a full grown false hydra, leveled the entire village.
Greater cleave, was it? Where you kill a foe, then get another attack from that, which in turn grants another attack if it also kills a foe, until you run out of foes within your weapon's reach... My kind of class, really.
@@petrusv8752 the sword is rly basic the pointy side in the enemy cheast, and works all the times,plus yo can learn magic and..tachan you sword now is a light saber
@@petrusv8752 so true. I mean, while the ranger really isn't all that great, the main reason he seems so weak is because fighter can use basically all his features with ranged weapons. a fighter with a bow just deals way more damage then any ranger can.

Today I learned that my dad used to play D&D! He gave me all 8 of his books (he used to have 3 time that much but someone stole them 😒) and one of them is a collector item. He even has leveled a couple characters to IMMORTAL! His favorite is a minotaur named Torath. I love my dad, I hope to learn about dnd from him when he can teach me.
@@Grox44BECMI D&D, or as it's more commonly known as 1E, had sets of books for the game, the fifth set had rules on Immortal Levels, where a PC attained (demi)godhood, all EXP was converted into a Power system, and the prerequisites were massive, it required a minimum of level 30 to attempt. So an Immortal character took a lot of investment to get to. I didn't get to play 1e, but my old friend has a campaign that's hit the Immortal tier and they tell me that I've never played true D&D until I run a BECMI game.
@@Izbiski_ Wow that's really cool. Have a site for these rules? I would want to play a really long campaign with this. Didn't know the actual game had rules for over the level cap.
@@Grox44he means that his dad played either 1e or 2e and the system was completely different then what you see today. 1e and 2e also had you managing a realm and when you hit I believe lvl 40ish you were considered an avatar of your diety I think once you hit 80 you were considered a god. Oh and also a 1 was a critical hit instead of todays 20.
I'm currently playing a Paladin who constantly tried (and failed) to win over monsters through acts of compassion, eventually snapped under the pressure and broke her divine oath, so I feel incredibly _seen_ by this video.

How to actually play a paladin. DM: Turns out that the hosts of your dinner party are vampires. Me: "Does my god have any particular teachingsregarding vampires?" Rolls Knowledge: Religion DM: No, they have no particular hatred for them, and may have small amounts of sympathy because their desire to create family clans could be argued to embody her portfolio of Community. Me: Am i aware that they have broken any laws. DM: Not that you're aware of, no. Me: Am i aware of any harm they have caused or planned against any innocents in the area. DM: No. Me: Then I go back to my food for now until a new development occurs. I'm a paladin of the goddess of law, not good. I can't go around smiting people just because they're assholes.
If Sam Vimes can stomach a vampire in his Watch, and in his City, and in his general vicinity, and not drive a stake into their hearts and then sweep their ashes into the Ankh River; then your paladin can sit quietly at the dinner table making small talk.
My paladin and her party kinda did this by accident one time. We met an old lady who lived in the woods, and we were super on guard. She invited us in for dinner, and we made sure the stew definitely wasn't poisoned or made out of people. From the old lady's muttering we concluded she had decided not to kill us because we were pleasant and polite to her. Delighted that she wasn't going to attack us, we finished our food, made our goodbyes and left. It honestly didn't occur to us until later that we had basically gone "Oh, you only eat rude people? Well, that seems entirely reasonable, couldn't possibly fault you for that. Have a lovely day and keep up the good work!"
@@VillainousMuse That's the thing about Reliable Talent though. Even if the dice says you rolled a 1, you didn't. It's actually a 10. Otherwise it's not reliable.
@@LordShadowZ Doesn't matter to me, you can roll a 2 and up and it'll count as a 10. 1is *always* a failure. I'm happy to allow the player to use their reliable talent to mitigate the failure as not a CRITICAL fail but it will be a failure regardless.
Ah yes. The fighter. The "I hit him 72 times" class. Fun thing is that my first ever D&D character was a fighter that wound up having four +5 dancing greatswords that could each attack four times along with my eight attacks. I made my DM crap a brick house when I solo'd a dungeon boss cause my party members needed to heal.
Yeah no, I call bs on this one, for one as a fighter you can only attune to 3 items (dancing sword needs attunement), second you cannot attune to the same item twice and three a fighter can only get 2 extra attacks not 7. And even if it is due to multiclassing, you would need lv 5 paladin, lv 5 ranger, lv 20 fighter, lv 5 barbarian, lv 5 blood hunter, lv 5 monk, lv 5 pact of the blade warlock with thirsting blade evocation to get a total of nine extra attacks, however since the lv cap is at 20 you only get 4 extra attacks for a gand total of 5 attacks

We did the Lost Mines of Phandelver campaign, our entire team was some level of chaotic, and it was everyone’s first campaign. I was a rogue and me and the wizard proceeded to deal about 3/5 of the damage required to defeat/kill a dragon before it could even attack us.
Me (also rogue) and my wizard in that campaign thought about using dynamite to destroy the structural integrity of the tower, since the other 7 PC of our party weren't there that day and we completed most the stuff. It was killed instantly due to the weight of the tower collapsing on it. It was such a cool experience.

Half our party got killed by the dragon in that campaign *way* before we were actually supposed to fight it. It was flying off in the distance, and it roared, and our kenku, instead of dying, decided to roar back. Luckily, my character’s backstory was basically “kidnapped and raised by a powerful fey wizard that tricked me into giving him my name” and so the DM was able to have the wizard revivify me (though the dragon had carried me off to its lair because I “smelled interesting,” so I had to escape by myself), and also, the wizard made a posthumous deal with the kenku (other party member that died) and he gave the wizard his name in exchange for being brought back to life. So, deus ex machina but with Consequences 😂
Reminds me of my first character. A halfling druid named Rose (yes, I know, unoriginal, but my favorite game at the Time was The Legend of the Dragoon). My first campaign, our DM asked who would lead into the dungeon, and I said I would (I was only 15 at the time). Ten minutes in, and I get told to roll for a grapple. A great horned minotaur came charging out if the wall. I rolled a 20. The minotaur went back through the wall holding his private parts, leaving a ball hanging off my helm. She was, and still is, my favorite character. I just turned 32 a few months ago.

Wizard escalates from "dies to a paper cut" to "functionally immortal without even reaching level 20" in the fucking blink of an eye. Most level dependent class by far lmao
I was just gonna say my wizard was basically a demi-god before becoming a demi-god. After narrowly escaping death 5 times against a demon army we escaped into MMM and I spent a week creating a simulacrum army (you can't make more than one, but if the simulacrum has the spell simulacrum you can make them indefinitely) and our group came back and 1 shotted the whole army including it's general with about 15 simultaneous meteor swarms. If you get creative with wizard it can get a tad ridiculous
@@RawBlue Got smth similar planned for my wizard. He´s alive for almost a year now, barely escaped the death 5 times. Also he´s the only one left from the basic group, so he outlived 3 barbarians, 2 rouges, a cleric, 4 fighter and 2 paladins. I am now capable to summon a greater deamon and planar bind him to me for 30 days. Also he met a lich and a demi-god who will help him to become a lich in the next few years. He is able to gather all the recourses needed in no time and because of his background of being a wizard teacher traveling the whole world to visit as much libraries and universities as possible, he also have powerful wizards at his side, wich will also help him to endure the ceremony to become a lich. Also he got infected by a wereboar with the lycanthropie curse and will be capable to transform into a wereboar at anytime. In the wereboar form his strength rises from 7 (-2) to 17 (+4). So he is then able to deal max damage in ranged attacks aswell as in meele attacks. Bonus: He already got an Elven Chain wich rises his AC from 12 to 16 and in the wereboar form he again gets a +1 bonus to it. All that in combination, makes him so powerful that my DM would like to kill him, but he cant because he´s the groups favourite (they even wrote songs about him) and they protect him at all costs. One of them even engaged a pact to protect the wizard. And he´s not only the groups favourite, also most of the NPCs like/love him, so his lost would be one of the biggest bummers to this whole campain. All that makes the wizard as immortal as a PC can be.
Hit lvl 2 as wizard and pick school of divination: pre roll 2 dice each long rest and replace a roll with one of them. Get a NAT 1 to give to enemies and a NAT 20 to succeed in a task
@@RawBlue Simulacrum creates an exact copy, including your current spell slot status, and requires you to expend at least a 7th level spell slot. And because the copy you create cannot regain spell slots, that means your copy doesn't have a 7th level slot available to cast Simulacrum. If you wanted the copy to be able to cast the spell as well, you would need to cast the original Simulacrum at an 8th level or higher. At that point in the game most players are ridiculously powerful.
I'm not even a cleric, I'm an artificer, we're at level 3, and I already resent that I use 2/3 of my spell slots to cast Cure Wounds (because literally no one else in the party has heals)
Meanwhile my cleric is being treated like a princess (She is a child. Make the cleric a young child and you'll be loved instead! Also she is mute so no one has a reason to hate her as well. Bam)
The trick to that is to pick a cleric that can do stuff while Also keeping the party alive. I personally found with my murder happy party last campaign that a tempest dwarf works wonders, though admittedly I got above par when rolling stats. Out the gate with heavy armor, a super high hp for lvl 1 from my con and racial bonus (13 hp from a d8 is not shabby at all), let me tank, reactive damage belch out lightning, bonus action healing word, and normal action attack. Shit got even better when I multiclassed to warlock so I could learn wizard ritual magic (was magically carrying the party since they were all stab orientated) and few things bring a look of suffering to a dm's face like trying to hit the 'heal bot' at 20 ac who auto counters with armor of agathys and then belches lightning at them.

You know, everyone always jokes about it, but I have never had a wizard be the first character in the party to die. In fact, the few times the wizard has died in my games, they were almost always the last one to fall because they knew how to hide behind the tanks. EDIT: there was one exception to this, but it was a character made purely for a joke. The player introduced her character, said she wanted to "discover what lightning tastes like," cast Shocking Grasp on her own tongue, dropped dead right there in the starting tavern, then promptly threw out that character sheet and pulled out the sorcerer who she actually intended to play for that campaign.
Wizards aren't even frail anymore. That's a complete relic of older editions. Between shield, absorb elements, and mage armor (all lvl 1 spells), the wizard is kitted with fantastic defense options right out of the gate, and they only get substantially crazier as spell levels increase.
That wizard story is a real good way to stsrt the story though. Earnestly, I'm not even surprised if that happened on and off in a fantasy setting. It's the same as that story of two or three drunks playing with and actual land mine one of them brought in to a bar..... you can guess how well that ended.

Surprisingly accurate. I’ve only played DND once and have played two characters. One a Dragonborn Paladin, who didn’t play like a paladin, and despite being labeled as Lawful Good, played more like a Chaotic Neutral. The other an Elven Wild Mage/Sorcerer that was rather lazy, yet powerful.
People don't know what paladin means, you aren't restricted to be always lawfull good. Acting different than that doesn't make you less of a paladin, you are still playing correctly. It Just depends on the subclass really

Playing a Blood Hunter was more painful for me than the DM on account of me not knowing how to play a Blood Hunter. It's just been accepted at this point that my character is a smooth talker and good planner but cannot be relied in a fight.
Really good class when you get the gist of it tbh, versitile in a fight as well as NPC interactions, even allows you to invoke disadvantage on your enemies when they go t ohit you or party member, as well as causing all forms of conditions. Recommend them, plus they are edgy.
My first character was an enchantment wizard. I was the party tank as well. It somehow worked like 85% of the time and the cleric saved me the rest. Bless up to mage armor and shield. Now I play a college of glamour bard who really doesn't use the +10 to Persuasion as much as I should and I gotta say: Mantle of Inspiration makes fights fantastically fun. Psuedo-healing with temp HP and everyone just moves around so much its wonderful. Coupled with a party member knowing Fly makes it even more so

I just joined a party as a bard. According to the DM, they were scheduled to fight a witch and it's monster companion. Most of the players couldn't make it, there were only 3 of us playing against the witch. My bard rolled 3 nat20 and persuaded the witch to be our ally and gift us valuable geodes
Ah yes, the 5e Rogue, every DM's nightmare: - Sneak attacks that can end intricately designed encounters in just one turn - Evasion that raises a middle finger to both the DM and the party because you survived an AoE - A level cap that lets you succeed rolls just because you say so -And roleplaying opportunities that can derail a campaign
If you know you have a rogue in the party, and you design an encounter that can be ended by a single big hit, then it wasn’t intricately designed. (Not to mention that rogue damage output is on par with other classes, it just FEELS strong because it either does all its damage all at once... or it misses)
-Good. The less we have to waste time fighting, the more we get to play. -Good. Party wipes are stupid. -Good. It allows for some great "hold my beer" -moments. -Good. Derailment should be the norm, not the exception. If everything just happened regardless of what players do, I wouldn't need players.
Ah, I loved the insane torment my Rogue caused my DM. She did get wise though and saw that the huge damage was single target and started mobbing us with groups, but those bosses got skewered quick. Surviving almost everything because I could just evade was her nightmare for bosses because I could win any war of attrition, and he was a bit more of a mix of Jack Sparrow and Han Solo. Laid back, devil may care sort. His personality was the exact opposite of the typical Tiefling Rogue, and he is still one of my favorite characters

At this point, I'm just happy when player pick a class/race from the core books without a perfectly min/maxed plan to multiclass and be good at everything.
i get min maxing when it comes to combat, but i find it extremely boring when it comes to roleplay. I never understand why some people want to run the campaign by themselves. I had that happen to me once, because the other players were pretty shy newcomers to D&D, so i was kinda forced to run the party, even though i tried my best to include them. and it got pretty boring very fast. i mean, the whole point is having a diverse party, with different characters good at different things. If i want to do everything myself, i could just play a typical rpg.
My very first time playing DnD I was a cleric and I was ready to murder the rest of my party halfway into the session. The other players did that themselves tho. I told the party that “the only reason that I kept you all alive was because I couldn’t have made it out of that encounter by myself. I would have left you all to die if I had the opportunity.”

"Avoid anything (the bard) can seduce at all costs." So avoid any and all interactions with any creatures or beings in any state of life or death? Gonna be a quiet game...
@@Adza2007 The most spiteful utterance of that phrase I got was when I cast spike growth in front of the town gate when the party was defending it from attack by a roving goblin army. It was one of those "supposed to lose" fights. Needless to say, I got the most kills that night
I mean Depends on how the class is played, you can hate them for being op or hate them because, even tho they are a sentient wolf, when a druid is a wolf, they act as one
As a regular Cleric player. I do so enjoy the fact that the DM and I are almost always playing a secondary, and entirely separate battle of who can hate and screw over who more outside of the main game. The game within the game. It's what I love about the class.
So someone in the group I'm in created a character they nicknamed 'Beyblade' for a one-shot. It was a Gnome Fighter that duel wielded greatswords and whose preferred method of attacking was spinning. I'd say a good fifth or so of the one-shot was spent with them rolling for damage, just because of the sheer number of times they could attack. I can't remember specifics, only that it was a _lot_ of d6's. My memory of it is hazy, but I vaguely remember it being some 20+ d6's per turn from them.
@@django3422 Yeah it was 5e. I'm very new to DnD so I have no idea whether it was actually an allowed build, or if it was just allowed because it was a silly one-shot.
@@azoth9875 Allowed is a term very open to interpretation with D&D. But yeah, that's some ridiculous homebrew. Fine in a daft one shot, causes issues in campaigns.
@@django3422 tbf you can hit more than 20d6's in a turn without homebrew pretty easily, duel wielding greatswords sounds wild but the actual dmg doesnt sound insane
@@joehicks929 Duel wielding greatswords just flat out isn't possible without homebrew, so there's that. I'd also disagree that it's "easy" to be achieving that level of damage. Sure, it's quite possible for some classes to go nova and deal 150 or more damage with a single crit. But it requires specific builds, investment and time to get to such a point.
Our DM told us to roll up 15th level characters and select their armor and weapons from a list he gave. He also said to give them one Uncommon magic item. So I rolled up a wood elf Rogue 3 (Swashbuckler)/Paladin 10 (Vengeance)/Warlock 2 (Hexblade), gave him Winged Boots for his magic item and the Spell Sniper and Elven Accuracy feats instead of two ASI's. The multiclass combination allowed me to zip within 30 feet of a target, curse it with Hexblade's Curse then fly off my next turn without suffering from Attacks of Opportunity (Swashbuckler). At that point, I could launch 4 Eldritch Blast beams (no spell slot use) with Agonizing Blast (Charisma 18), Advantage on every attack, and crits on natural 19 or 20 (thanks to Hexblade's Curse) from a range of 240 feet (Spell Sniper) in the air. Plus an auto-buff of +5 AC as Reaction thanks to the _Shield_ spell. And when my character was grounded and forced into melee...Divine Smites with a magic rapier doing Sneak Attack damage. If he was hit with Darkness, he had the Devil's Sight invocation (warlock) and the Blind Fighting fighting style (paladin). In brightest day and darkest night, no target could avoid my sight; I called the character "Predator Drone".
"Oh...a bard. Interesting choice for my Goblin Mines campaign. Quick question: What exactly is 'Affinity: Shortstacks' and why is it written on your character sheet?"
My DM always says not to call the Cleric just a healer. To prove a point, he told of a time he played as a Battle Priest, supposedly, his party wasn't aware of what that was or he didn't tell them. One character asked for heals during combat and he was like "No, no, I don't do that."
The artificer one just gets me every time, especially since it’s inevitable that an artificer player will attempt to dominate the world with magic warfare
My artificer isn't like that. What he IS like is a spell sniper artillerist with enough CC to hit an adult dragon for three or four rounds before it can even get into breath weapon range, let alone melee range.
Meanwhile a warlock in my team made a deal with demons is the mafia leader of pirates is tied with murders wants to overthrow the nobility as a noble themselfs (they want to stop noble's from ruling so revolution!) And meawhile Is a loving mother who keeps the daughter safe (which is my character they adopted)
Hehehe my artificer is an alchemist who's basically just become the city doctor and is a pacifist lol. He's been spending the past few weeks just curing a plague.
DM: Oh, nice, a cleric to support the party and be the wise voice of reason. Cleric of light: I'll bring the light of dawn to you... oh, you're a heathen? Burn, heretic! Paladin: Bro, chill.

The wizard one hit too hard. I was always one hit away from death in every single fight since our rogue (the only one who ever noticed enemies beforehand) never told the party of them, which resulted in us getting ambushed. Which somehow almost always resulted in me getting hit and surviving barely, the rest of the fights were spent far away as possible. Or I never even got to fight, like the one time we infiltrated a ship, a drunk pirate accidentally hit me as I was climbing aboard and he fell with me to the water, now, we had water walking on so I didn't actually sink entirely but the pirate did try to drag me down regardless... and managed to grapple me at the same time. So the whole fight I kept being dragged underwater where I almost drowned and then the water walking would overpower the weight of both of us and pull us over the surface, rinse and repeat until i managed to kill him after an epic battle.... only to find out that the rest of the party had cleared the ship a long time ago and were just watching and betting on which one of us would win.
yeah I just imagined a wizard and a pirate trying sloppily to drown each other as the wizard's spell keeps activating and making it all futile and that is an incredible image
Ok ok but at the same time... THAT WIZARD WAS A BADASS? Like yeah it sucks that he kept getting whacked and put into those scenarios... but also he actually survived that? No seriously that's actually its own weird badassery.

he explained quite simply that, "all you do is convince the DM to let you use sneak attack, then use sneak attack - you'll be fine"
and i was fine.
As someone who dms for a rouge…
*felt*
I literally just described that to one of my players, your job as a rogue is to parlay with the DM to let you use your sneak attack.
really not much convinving needed. play a ranged rouge and have at least one melee character in the party = unlimited sneak attack
Our Bard gave my rouge foresight for a boss battle recently. The amount of damage I did in that encounter was ridiculous.
Just make a Swashbuckler. That combined with the new Steady Aim feature means there are practically no situations in which you don’t get Sneak Attack. It’s in the RULES, DM!! Hah!
In my experience, a DM is usually not involved when the cleric starts hating the rest of the party lol
I can confirm that too. Cleric is one of my favorite classes. And the Barbarian is requesting a lot of me, why can't they ever play the Path Of The Zealot subclass? At least then I will not have to spend 300 gold every time I bring them back to life

As such he does eventually get that rule/annoyance.
Can confirm, my trickery cleric actually secretly hates most of the party except the rogue (actually intelligent) and the Warlock (who he admittely has the hots for). The artificer runs in headlong into fights because he's a ball of angry tiefling and the Druid went Moon-Moon the first time he wildshaped, and the fighter, he's kind of had a grudge toward for a long time because he got food poisoning from the fighter's cooking.
I don't even know why my Dragonborn Cleric is the only good character in an evil group...
My first ever character was a half elf bard. My first roll was to escape jail. Knowing nothing about the history of bards, I say “I seduce the guard.” DM just lets out a deep, deep, deep sigh.

@@Alice_Wonderlust is it, is it really?
Yeah it is
Its in our blood...its our natural instincts
Any high charisma character should try that, unless they have another good angle. When I started playing TTRPGs I tried playing high charisma character and was SO SHY that it just never worked, the DMs wouldn't let me get by on just a roll, they wanted me to say something. But eventually Bard became my favorite class and I love playing the face, flirting your way in or out of a confrontation is just a very useful tool you have at your disposal.
Thats how my Bard got married to a lovey female Litch and is Co-Overlord of the Realm.
DM made me retire that character after that, as he became the new BBEG

My group carried me around in the bag of holding and made fun of me for like 3 sessions.
Yeah... I play Pathfinder and I GM some games, but I chose my first barbarian class a few years into playing TTRPGs, going with the 3rd Party "Wolfshifter" barb class, which basically takes a standard Barbarian, adds some shifting aspects of nature classes, and turns your Rage Ability into a type of "werewolf" transformation... She also rolled 2 stats below 10, which I shoved right into INT and CHA... I justify it all with a "raised by wolves" backstory. Between her sheer stupidity, lack of understanding of society and other people, and her being an absolute unit from LVL1, she has caused more than a few issues in-game, but the table loves our party's dynamic.
I actually murked a very awesome Silver dragon as her, despite knowing as a player that they're good, because she (and me as a player) had no idea it had helped another Player Party in the same universe, so when she saw the dragon transform in the town fountain from a fish, she just went for it solo with no questions asked. Now that is her water bowl, and she calls herself the "protector" of that town for "rescuing" them 💀

We frequently have to 'bribe' our cleric just to keep him around and do some healing. We allow him to walk away with more than anyone else gets to loot, he allows us to do stupid things and live to talk about it.
It was, perhaps unsurprisingly, one of the first lessons I learned both as a player and as a DM. It doesn't matter what you try to achieve or how prepared you are, you'll never be completely ready for all the stupid shit people wanna do and no one feels that pain more than the guy who's responsible for keeping them alive. Hence, the only way we can get someone to play any kind of healer is to stack them with more loot or face an early grave.

My old school (way back in D&D 3.5) grumpy ass Dwarven Cleric was so tired of the party's crap after a few sessions that the only reason he stayed to heal was because he felt that if he didn't, the entire party would either kill themselves, or kill an entire village.

fighter is basic, not weak. sometimes people forget that.
Greater cleave, was it? Where you kill a foe, then get another attack from that, which in turn grants another attack if it also kills a foe, until you run out of foes within your weapon's reach...

@@petrusv8752 so true. I mean, while the ranger really isn't all that great, the main reason he seems so weak is because fighter can use basically all his features with ranged weapons. a fighter with a bow just deals way more damage then any ranger can.

Today I learned that my dad used to play D&D! He gave me all 8 of his books (he used to have 3 time that much but someone stole them 😒) and one of them is a collector item. He even has leveled a couple characters to IMMORTAL! His favorite is a minotaur named Torath. I love my dad, I hope to learn about dnd from him when he can teach me.
Wdym leveled to immortal?
@@Grox44BECMI D&D, or as it's more commonly known as 1E, had sets of books for the game, the fifth set had rules on Immortal Levels, where a PC attained (demi)godhood, all EXP was converted into a Power system, and the prerequisites were massive, it required a minimum of level 30 to attempt. So an Immortal character took a lot of investment to get to. I didn't get to play 1e, but my old friend has a campaign that's hit the Immortal tier and they tell me that I've never played true D&D until I run a BECMI game.
@@Izbiski_ Wow that's really cool. Have a site for these rules? I would want to play a really long campaign with this. Didn't know the actual game had rules for over the level cap.
@@Grox44 I have very old and battered booklets, no website unfortunately.
@@Grox44he means that his dad played either 1e or 2e and the system was completely different then what you see today. 1e and 2e also had you managing a realm and when you hit I believe lvl 40ish you were considered an avatar of your diety I think once you hit 80 you were considered a god. Oh and also a 1 was a critical hit instead of todays 20.
I'm currently playing a Paladin who constantly tried (and failed) to win over monsters through acts of compassion, eventually snapped under the pressure and broke her divine oath, so I feel incredibly _seen_ by this video.
I am, however, proud to say she never threw it back for the real ones, nor for anyone else.

How to actually play a paladin.
DM: Turns out that the hosts of your dinner party are vampires.
Me: "Does my god have any particular teachingsregarding vampires?"
Rolls Knowledge: Religion
DM: No, they have no particular hatred for them, and may have small amounts of sympathy because their desire to create family clans could be argued to embody her portfolio of Community.
Me: Am i aware that they have broken any laws.
DM: Not that you're aware of, no.
Me: Am i aware of any harm they have caused or planned against any innocents in the area.
DM: No.
Me: Then I go back to my food for now until a new development occurs. I'm a paladin of the goddess of law, not good. I can't go around smiting people just because they're assholes.
If Sam Vimes can stomach a vampire in his Watch, and in his City, and in his general vicinity, and not drive a stake into their hearts and then sweep their ashes into the Ankh River; then your paladin can sit quietly at the dinner table making small talk.
My paladin and her party kinda did this by accident one time. We met an old lady who lived in the woods, and we were super on guard. She invited us in for dinner, and we made sure the stew definitely wasn't poisoned or made out of people. From the old lady's muttering we concluded she had decided not to kill us because we were pleasant and polite to her. Delighted that she wasn't going to attack us, we finished our food, made our goodbyes and left. It honestly didn't occur to us until later that we had basically gone "Oh, you only eat rude people? Well, that seems entirely reasonable, couldn't possibly fault you for that. Have a lovely day and keep up the good work!"
I'd do that as a Paladin Player anyways, I mean the golden rule: Don't start any shit, and there won't be any shit.
"I can't go around smiting people just because they're assholes." I see you did not join the true church of CONQUEST

1s are always a failure at my table, regardless of arithmetic. There is ALWAYS a chance for failure, no matter how inclement
@@VillainousMuse That's the thing about Reliable Talent though. Even if the dice says you rolled a 1, you didn't. It's actually a 10. Otherwise it's not reliable.
@@LordShadowZ Doesn't matter to me, you can roll a 2 and up and it'll count as a 10. 1is *always* a failure. I'm happy to allow the player to use their reliable talent to mitigate the failure as not a CRITICAL fail but it will be a failure regardless.
Ah yes. The fighter. The "I hit him 72 times" class. Fun thing is that my first ever D&D character was a fighter that wound up having four +5 dancing greatswords that could each attack four times along with my eight attacks. I made my DM crap a brick house when I solo'd a dungeon boss cause my party members needed to heal.
Can you please tell what Subclass of Fighter you used? 😮
Please, be more specific so I can copy this later.
Anyone else waiting for answers or is it just me
Yeah no, I call bs on this one, for one as a fighter you can only attune to 3 items (dancing sword needs attunement), second you cannot attune to the same item twice and three a fighter can only get 2 extra attacks not 7. And even if it is due to multiclassing, you would need lv 5 paladin, lv 5 ranger, lv 20 fighter, lv 5 barbarian, lv 5 blood hunter, lv 5 monk, lv 5 pact of the blade warlock with thirsting blade evocation to get a total of nine extra attacks, however since the lv cap is at 20 you only get 4 extra attacks for a gand total of 5 attacks

We did the Lost Mines of Phandelver campaign, our entire team was some level of chaotic, and it was everyone’s first campaign. I was a rogue and me and the wizard proceeded to deal about 3/5 of the damage required to defeat/kill a dragon before it could even attack us.
Me (also rogue) and my wizard in that campaign thought about using dynamite to destroy the structural integrity of the tower, since the other 7 PC of our party weren't there that day and we completed most the stuff. It was killed instantly due to the weight of the tower collapsing on it. It was such a cool experience.

Half our party got killed by the dragon in that campaign *way* before we were actually supposed to fight it. It was flying off in the distance, and it roared, and our kenku, instead of dying, decided to roar back.
Luckily, my character’s backstory was basically “kidnapped and raised by a powerful fey wizard that tricked me into giving him my name” and so the DM was able to have the wizard revivify me (though the dragon had carried me off to its lair because I “smelled interesting,” so I had to escape by myself), and also, the wizard made a posthumous deal with the kenku (other party member that died) and he gave the wizard his name in exchange for being brought back to life. So, deus ex machina but with Consequences 😂
Reminds me of my first character. A halfling druid named Rose (yes, I know, unoriginal, but my favorite game at the Time was The Legend of the Dragoon). My first campaign, our DM asked who would lead into the dungeon, and I said I would (I was only 15 at the time). Ten minutes in, and I get told to roll for a grapple.
A great horned minotaur came charging out if the wall. I rolled a 20. The minotaur went back through the wall holding his private parts, leaving a ball hanging off my helm.
She was, and still is, my favorite character. I just turned 32 a few months ago.
Aren’t druids so fun bro!? It’s always good to see others who like them too hehe

Wizard escalates from "dies to a paper cut" to "functionally immortal without even reaching level 20" in the fucking blink of an eye. Most level dependent class by far lmao
Wizards in a nutshell : that went from 0 to a 100 real quick
I was just gonna say my wizard was basically a demi-god before becoming a demi-god. After narrowly escaping death 5 times against a demon army we escaped into MMM and I spent a week creating a simulacrum army (you can't make more than one, but if the simulacrum has the spell simulacrum you can make them indefinitely) and our group came back and 1 shotted the whole army including it's general with about 15 simultaneous meteor swarms. If you get creative with wizard it can get a tad ridiculous
@@RawBlue Got smth similar planned for my wizard. He´s alive for almost a year now, barely escaped the death 5 times. Also he´s the only one left from the basic group, so he outlived 3 barbarians, 2 rouges, a cleric, 4 fighter and 2 paladins. I am now capable to summon a greater deamon and planar bind him to me for 30 days. Also he met a lich and a demi-god who will help him to become a lich in the next few years. He is able to gather all the recourses needed in no time and because of his background of being a wizard teacher traveling the whole world to visit as much libraries and universities as possible, he also have powerful wizards at his side, wich will also help him to endure the ceremony to become a lich.
Also he got infected by a wereboar with the lycanthropie curse and will be capable to transform into a wereboar at anytime. In the wereboar form his strength rises from 7 (-2) to 17 (+4). So he is then able to deal max damage in ranged attacks aswell as in meele attacks.
Bonus: He already got an Elven Chain wich rises his AC from 12 to 16 and in the wereboar form he again gets a +1 bonus to it.
All that in combination, makes him so powerful that my DM would like to kill him, but he cant because he´s the groups favourite (they even wrote songs about him) and they protect him at all costs. One of them even engaged a pact to protect the wizard.
And he´s not only the groups favourite, also most of the NPCs like/love him, so his lost would be one of the biggest bummers to this whole campain.
All that makes the wizard as immortal as a PC can be.
Hit lvl 2 as wizard and pick school of divination: pre roll 2 dice each long rest and replace a roll with one of them.
Get a NAT 1 to give to enemies and a NAT 20 to succeed in a task
@@RawBlue Simulacrum creates an exact copy, including your current spell slot status, and requires you to expend at least a 7th level spell slot. And because the copy you create cannot regain spell slots, that means your copy doesn't have a 7th level slot available to cast Simulacrum. If you wanted the copy to be able to cast the spell as well, you would need to cast the original Simulacrum at an 8th level or higher. At that point in the game most players are ridiculously powerful.
"Make the cleric hate the party"
Don't worry, the party can do that on their own.
I'm not even a cleric, I'm an artificer, we're at level 3, and I already resent that I use 2/3 of my spell slots to cast Cure Wounds (because literally no one else in the party has heals)
Meanwhile my cleric is being treated like a princess
(She is a child. Make the cleric a young child and you'll be loved instead! Also she is mute so no one has a reason to hate her as well. Bam)
The trick to that is to pick a cleric that can do stuff while Also keeping the party alive. I personally found with my murder happy party last campaign that a tempest dwarf works wonders, though admittedly I got above par when rolling stats. Out the gate with heavy armor, a super high hp for lvl 1 from my con and racial bonus (13 hp from a d8 is not shabby at all), let me tank, reactive damage belch out lightning, bonus action healing word, and normal action attack. Shit got even better when I multiclassed to warlock so I could learn wizard ritual magic (was magically carrying the party since they were all stab orientated) and few things bring a look of suffering to a dm's face like trying to hit the 'heal bot' at 20 ac who auto counters with armor of agathys and then belches lightning at them.
Power move: play as the only person in the party…. ;(

I eventually found my way there, having abandoned everyone in my group, fought through all kinds of creatures including a powerful demon, only to learn that this companion was well and truely dead and there wasnt any hope in bringing him back in the first place and so i just left hell and went business as usual.

You know, everyone always jokes about it, but I have never had a wizard be the first character in the party to die. In fact, the few times the wizard has died in my games, they were almost always the last one to fall because they knew how to hide behind the tanks.
EDIT: there was one exception to this, but it was a character made purely for a joke. The player introduced her character, said she wanted to "discover what lightning tastes like," cast Shocking Grasp on her own tongue, dropped dead right there in the starting tavern, then promptly threw out that character sheet and pulled out the sorcerer who she actually intended to play for that campaign.
I mean, props for being prepared. And showing that doing something suicidally stupid *will* get your ass killed.
Legendary.
Wizards aren't even frail anymore. That's a complete relic of older editions. Between shield, absorb elements, and mage armor (all lvl 1 spells), the wizard is kitted with fantastic defense options right out of the gate, and they only get substantially crazier as spell levels increase.
That wizard story is a real good way to stsrt the story though. Earnestly, I'm not even surprised if that happened on and off in a fantasy setting.
It's the same as that story of two or three drunks playing with and actual land mine one of them brought in to a bar..... you can guess how well that ended.

Surprisingly accurate. I’ve only played DND once and have played two characters. One a Dragonborn Paladin, who didn’t play like a paladin, and despite being labeled as Lawful Good, played more like a Chaotic Neutral. The other an Elven Wild Mage/Sorcerer that was rather lazy, yet powerful.
People don't know what paladin means, you aren't restricted to be always lawfull good. Acting different than that doesn't make you less of a paladin, you are still playing correctly. It Just depends on the subclass really
One of my OCs is a Oath of Vengance Paladin who is Chaotic Good. Holds his oath and maintains his faith, while defending the weak from tyranny and oppression. Not all paladins need to be lawful good.

An Oath of Conquest Paladin who works to uphold the laws of an evil kingdom.
An Oath of Glory Paladin who secretly manufactures crises and enables attacks on a city so that they can step in to 'save the day' and become a hero.
Vengeance Paladins usually tend to be neutral rather than evil. They're oath bound to set right a wrong, but the methods they go to to 'fix' things can be evil. Torturing some innocent lacky for information, killing the workers in a factory that creates weapons of war etc.
an Oath of the Ancients Paladin that believes humanity is a blight on the world and that killing is the only way to preserve the natural world.

Playing a Blood Hunter was more painful for me than the DM on account of me not knowing how to play a Blood Hunter. It's just been accepted at this point that my character is a smooth talker and good planner but cannot be relied in a fight.
That's kind of incredible actually
yeah blood hunter is a bit too complicated for my small cleric brain but DAMN does it look cool
Hopefully you wont use a blood malidict that drops you to 0 hp. You might be shish-kabobed by a enemy's sword, and die. (Yes, yes it is)
Really good class when you get the gist of it tbh, versitile in a fight as well as NPC interactions, even allows you to invoke disadvantage on your enemies when they go t ohit you or party member, as well as causing all forms of conditions. Recommend them, plus they are edgy.

Now I play a college of glamour bard who really doesn't use the +10 to Persuasion as much as I should and I gotta say: Mantle of Inspiration makes fights fantastically fun.

I'm DMing for a party that consists of a kobold swashbuckler rogue, a barbarian monk combo, a circle of the moon druid, a tempest domain cleric, and a bard. Combat is so broken I have to use cr 6-8 monsters just for a balanced fight. I feel this.
I'm wondering what's your own reaction after the PC's gave you the class they are playing.(:
Dude that party sounds like a walking nuclear weapon. So much POWER! All you need now is a Paladin and you're set XD
I really enjoyed my b'onk. Its crazy how good those classes work together if you have the stats for it.
i have a similar party, they trounced my first two fights, and killed the bbeg, in zero sessoin, started at lvl 10, im pulling out the big guns, and going to start using area denial like crazy just to slow them down. im constantly afraid that they will either massacre my minions, or i will tpk them when i finally get an enemy group powerful enoght to be a threat

I just joined a party as a bard. According to the DM, they were scheduled to fight a witch and it's monster companion. Most of the players couldn't make it, there were only 3 of us playing against the witch. My bard rolled 3 nat20 and persuaded the witch to be our ally and gift us valuable geodes

Ah yes, the 5e Rogue, every DM's nightmare:
- Sneak attacks that can end intricately designed encounters in just one turn
- Evasion that raises a middle finger to both the DM and the party because you survived an AoE
- A level cap that lets you succeed rolls just because you say so
-And roleplaying opportunities that can derail a campaign
If you know you have a rogue in the party, and you design an encounter that can be ended by a single big hit, then it wasn’t intricately designed. (Not to mention that rogue damage output is on par with other classes, it just FEELS strong because it either does all its damage all at once... or it misses)
I cast Greater Invisibility on the rogue.
-Good. The less we have to waste time fighting, the more we get to play.
-Good. Party wipes are stupid.
-Good. It allows for some great "hold my beer" -moments.
-Good. Derailment should be the norm, not the exception. If everything just happened regardless of what players do, I wouldn't need players.
Ah, I loved the insane torment my Rogue caused my DM. She did get wise though and saw that the huge damage was single target and started mobbing us with groups, but those bosses got skewered quick. Surviving almost everything because I could just evade was her nightmare for bosses because I could win any war of attrition, and he was a bit more of a mix of Jack Sparrow and Han Solo. Laid back, devil may care sort. His personality was the exact opposite of the typical Tiefling Rogue, and he is still one of my favorite characters

At this point, I'm just happy when player pick a class/race from the core books without a perfectly min/maxed plan to multiclass and be good at everything.
i get min maxing when it comes to combat, but i find it extremely boring when it comes to roleplay. I never understand why some people want to run the campaign by themselves. I had that happen to me once, because the other players were pretty shy newcomers to D&D, so i was kinda forced to run the party, even though i tried my best to include them. and it got pretty boring very fast. i mean, the whole point is having a diverse party, with different characters good at different things. If i want to do everything myself, i could just play a typical rpg.
Um...
@@rudelwolf1591 Um...
What's the point of playing a character who isn't good at what they're supposed to be good at?

NO YOU CANT HAVE A SHORT REST YET! I bet The great old one felt that one in my soul.
My very first time playing DnD I was a cleric and I was ready to murder the rest of my party halfway into the session. The other players did that themselves tho. I told the party that “the only reason that I kept you all alive was because I couldn’t have made it out of that encounter by myself. I would have left you all to die if I had the opportunity.”

Honestly no one needs to be a dedicated healer in 5e, which is cool. It's good to have someone with some healing for sure, but a dedicated healer rarely finds a right balance for their build. It's usually either you feel useless at least half the time, or everythings so crazy you can't really keep up. Why I like Celestial Warlock. You're still a warlock doing warlock things, but you got some emergency healing in your pocket that doesn't burn other potential resources. You can even do some big heals if you need to and haven't used your limited spell slots on murder yet since your last nap.
Warlock is a lot of fun in general. Anyway, I could talk more about it but after typing this I think I need a short rest...

As a regular Cleric player. I do so enjoy the fact that the DM and I are almost always playing a secondary, and entirely separate battle of who can hate and screw over who more outside of the main game. The game within the game. It's what I love about the class.
i have only ever played a single session of D&D,
but this DM just nailed the totality of my lifetime as a Monk
This is literally the life of a low level monk 😂
(And after lvl5 it’s the same but the fist now has a “stun” written on it in sharpie)
dude same.

@@droideka1890 this makes monks sound like street-smart version of wizards, and honestly, I'm here for this
Falcawn... PAWNCH!
So someone in the group I'm in created a character they nicknamed 'Beyblade' for a one-shot. It was a Gnome Fighter that duel wielded greatswords and whose preferred method of attacking was spinning. I'd say a good fifth or so of the one-shot was spent with them rolling for damage, just because of the sheer number of times they could attack. I can't remember specifics, only that it was a _lot_ of d6's. My memory of it is hazy, but I vaguely remember it being some 20+ d6's per turn from them.
... in 5e? Or an older edition?
@@django3422 Yeah it was 5e. I'm very new to DnD so I have no idea whether it was actually an allowed build, or if it was just allowed because it was a silly one-shot.
@@azoth9875 Allowed is a term very open to interpretation with D&D.
But yeah, that's some ridiculous homebrew. Fine in a daft one shot, causes issues in campaigns.
@@django3422 tbf you can hit more than 20d6's in a turn without homebrew pretty easily, duel wielding greatswords sounds wild but the actual dmg doesnt sound insane
@@joehicks929 Duel wielding greatswords just flat out isn't possible without homebrew, so there's that.
I'd also disagree that it's "easy" to be achieving that level of damage. Sure, it's quite possible for some classes to go nova and deal 150 or more damage with a single crit.
But it requires specific builds, investment and time to get to such a point.
Our DM told us to roll up 15th level characters and select their armor and weapons from a list he gave. He also said to give them one Uncommon magic item. So I rolled up a wood elf Rogue 3 (Swashbuckler)/Paladin 10 (Vengeance)/Warlock 2 (Hexblade), gave him Winged Boots for his magic item and the Spell Sniper and Elven Accuracy feats instead of two ASI's. The multiclass combination allowed me to zip within 30 feet of a target, curse it with Hexblade's Curse then fly off my next turn without suffering from Attacks of Opportunity (Swashbuckler).
At that point, I could launch 4 Eldritch Blast beams (no spell slot use) with Agonizing Blast (Charisma 18), Advantage on every attack, and crits on natural 19 or 20 (thanks to Hexblade's Curse) from a range of 240 feet (Spell Sniper) in the air. Plus an auto-buff of +5 AC as Reaction thanks to the _Shield_ spell. And when my character was grounded and forced into melee...Divine Smites with a magic rapier doing Sneak Attack damage. If he was hit with Darkness, he had the Devil's Sight invocation (warlock) and the Blind Fighting fighting style (paladin).
In brightest day and darkest night, no target could avoid my sight; I called the character "Predator Drone".
Listen, my artificer doesn't JUST make bombs
She also throws it back for the real ones-
"Oh...a bard. Interesting choice for my Goblin Mines campaign. Quick question: What exactly is 'Affinity: Shortstacks' and why is it written on your character sheet?"

Oh no...
Wait what does that mean?
@@thecluckster3908 the Bard has a skill/advantage for fucking greenies, if I'm understanding properly.
@@jordananderson2728 what if these are more akin to the Goblin Slayer goblins?
My DM always says not to call the Cleric just a healer.
To prove a point, he told of a time he played as a Battle Priest, supposedly, his party wasn't aware of what that was or he didn't tell them.
One character asked for heals during combat and he was like "No, no, I don't do that."
Well, our group has a tradition - "no spellcaster shall live the sessions #2."
Hey, the Artificer doesn't ALWAYS make a nuke!
Sometimes they try building a giant goddamn robot.
The artificer one just gets me every time, especially since it’s inevitable that an artificer player will attempt to dominate the world with magic warfare
My artificer isn't like that.
What he IS like is a spell sniper artillerist with enough CC to hit an adult dragon for three or four rounds before it can even get into breath weapon range, let alone melee range.
At times I forget how horrifying the artillerist truly is in the right hands
Meanwhile a warlock in my team

is the mafia leader of pirates
is tied with murders

The wizard one hit too hard. I was always one hit away from death in every single fight since our rogue (the only one who ever noticed enemies beforehand) never told the party of them, which resulted in us getting ambushed. Which somehow almost always resulted in me getting hit and surviving barely, the rest of the fights were spent far away as possible.
Or I never even got to fight, like the one time we infiltrated a ship, a drunk pirate accidentally hit me as I was climbing aboard and he fell with me to the water, now, we had water walking on so I didn't actually sink entirely but the pirate did try to drag me down regardless... and managed to grapple me at the same time. So the whole fight I kept being dragged underwater where I almost drowned and then the water walking would overpower the weight of both of us and pull us over the surface, rinse and repeat until i managed to kill him after an epic battle.... only to find out that the rest of the party had cleared the ship a long time ago and were just watching and betting on which one of us would win.
damn
I'm sorry but that's hilarious, I couldn't help but laugh.
yeah I just imagined a wizard and a pirate trying sloppily to drown each other as the wizard's spell keeps activating and making it all futile and that is an incredible image
Ok ok but at the same time... THAT WIZARD WAS A BADASS? Like yeah it sucks that he kept getting whacked and put into those scenarios... but also he actually survived that? No seriously that's actually its own weird badassery.
