Finally a 3.5 video. You have no idea how helpful you are
glad to be of assistance! our 5th edition video is well underway as we speak, so look forward to that as well!
-Lyric
A Gnomish Barbarian who follows Garl Glittergold, sounds like an interesting character.
3.5e ❤ Been playing since 2015ish, started in 4th but quickly upgraded to 3.5e and never turned back. We run it biweekly at the moment. Nobody at our table likes 5th edition.
It sounds like you run a table with exceptional taste! :)
Hated 4th and don't care for 5th myself, but as I have said many times, it ALL depends on what makes the group happy and have fun. That is the whole point.
Good, nobody should like 5th edition
@@punishedwhispers1218 I completely agree.
I've just been asked to DM again for the first time in 15 years...sent this link to the players to help them through the process and it was a great refresher for me...thanks so much.
Turns I have a co-worker who dm's and some Critter co-workers He wants to run a D&D campaign in 3.5e.
Gotta say, I found this helpful as to what I'm getting into, being that my first game was 5e.
My DM just sent this to the group chat. Thanks for the awesome video
Great video, trying to get my friends to all play for the first time and this is perfect for helping train them.
8:14 "Feet's come up!" Lol
You can also play without the books using the SRD. This is a great explanation I just wish the sheets were more compact.
Bondanalloy And there's so so substantial about actually holding the book in one's hand.
Dwarven Tavern Oh absolutely. Books are still so much better, but in a pinch and/or for searching rules while playing, the srd or a solid pdf are awesome.
Without a doubt! I always make sure I have a PDF version on hand if possible!
I imagine rolling like that must come up with some impressive builds. But sometimes it's fun to have flaws in the build with some low stats.
Absolutely! In general, high stat averages are better in my usual campaigns because of the challenges the players face. There have been many occasions in which the players are intentionally given flaw as you suggested, to provide a special challenge. Good call. :)
I always give one stat below ten regardless of what I roll.
the idea of 3.5 was that the PCs are the cream of the crop. There is a point in the DMG that says if a player's total modifier is+2 or less between all stats you should let the player reroll all stats. Obviously this method is crazy strong but it still is just a high power method
Thank you for making this!!
Thanks for the great vid. Helping me remember what i lost when AD&D first came out. 😀 great humor.
this was great! cheers
bla mane Thank you! Cheers right back!
Thank you for this ! I began playing 5e a few years ago, and am about to start playing in a 3.5e campaign. ....I am so glad I didn’t start with 3.5e. Whew.
very helpful for a first timer coming from 5e
My absolute favorite version
Coming out of pandemic and wanting to rejoin D&D playing after several years. Want to do 3.5e instead of 5e, so thx!
This made so many thing more clear!!!
I absolutely love this as a long time DM
thanks for the tips.. foxy lady
Thank you for this. It is very helpful to hear it all out loud, as it provides confirmation to what i *thought* i read on the page.
Very helpful video, thank you!
You're welcome!
7:33 ok I think this was in reference to massive damage , but this is a house rule if you are not -10 you are not dead, Massive damage says if ANYTHING take 50+ damage from a single attack it needs to make a DC 15 Fort-save or dies (Page 145 PHB3.5e)
Thank you thank you thank you! :)
This is very informative!
I've resolved to think of 3.5 as now just my official "miniatures-focused D&D"/D&D "tactics", sort of like your Final
Fantasy: Tactics to your default Final Fantasy game. 3.5 had the Chainmail/Miniatures Game embedded within it for a reason. I'll never attempt play it over webcam, but it's the kind of D&D I'm open to playing at a grid-covered table, with lots of minis, with a gameplay focused on [and taking your time with] combat and the perhaps deeper intricacies dungeon-delving (lots of traps, etc.). I think that's the kind of game that plays to its strengths... in comparison to 5e, which is just a better default for fantasy roleplaying.
Mini play is perfectly valid as either an addition or an alternative to the game. One of the things that make it so nice is that it can be tailored to the playing style. I prefer the role playing aspects of the game embellished with the presence of minis for visual aid to a combat scene. So when the going gets tough, the minis come out. :)
This is a good video but unfortunately the most important part for a magical class is completely skipped over? =/ Given mage-type classes are just as popular as any other and 7 out of the 11 *original* D&D 3.5 classes used spells to some degree I think that it's quite an oversight
The reason I didn't cover magic (or familiars, or psionics, etc) was because they are character-specific traits and I wanted this video to be an overall glimpse instead of an extremely in-depth guide; and also because magic and all of the other stuff I didn't cover can and should be a video all unto its own. Granted, I should have already done that video, but the choice to not include it wasn't because I didn't think it was important. And while 7 of the 11 standard classes DO indeed use magic, they all have very different rules on the magic they use. So again, I believe a separate video should be made for magic all to itself. What's more, the proper person to do the magic video would not be me, but rather Taverneer Jeff, as he knows the ins and outs of magic use far better than I.
Sorry this was such a long reply! Thank you for your insight! And maybe we'll get that darned magic video afore much longer :)

thanks so much love the video and its even better cause the character sheets I have are the same that your using.
thank you very much! We're glad you liked the video and hope it's useful to you!

I miss 3.5
Here I am just wondering why cleric of vecna isn't a thing.
Did you make that leather/silver cover for the phb? Looks awesome!
unfortunately I'm not that talented! This was a special edition leatherbound player's handbook made to celebrate the 30th anniversary of DnD!
-Lyric
There's no such thing as "rolling up" a 3.5 character. 3rd edition is about THE BUILD. Mechanics... not roleplay. SUPER HUMAN FEATS, BABY!!!!!
Do you have a downloadable version of this?
I did this I don't know that dwarf had no subracie I thought ba hill dwarf druid and did not know there are no subracie but I still like the charter I rolled up
😊 .
Did anybody catch the 21st Century Schizoid Man at the beginning? Awesome intro.
That's Taverneer Dr. Jeff's music. He wrote that and played all the instruments. It's a tune called, "The Dwarven Tavern Song".
Dwarven Tavern Oh. Okay. That's really cool. It just sound real similar to the run in a King Crimson song. I figured the little difference was just improvisational. But that's awesome. Great video. I'm just getting back into D&D and I was needing a little pick-me-up.
Thank you very much, that's a huge compliment! King Crimson, Yes, Jethro Tull, and other bands of that ilk were big influences to the head dwarf. :)
I know my comment is stupid, but I gave the 666th like :D
Not at all a stupid comment, it was a wicked awesome like! ;)
Back when the internet was pure and the content wasn't tiktok twerking
pls do a 3e video?!
Hahaha! Roleplaying the stats. You so cute!
1st reaction: Excuse you, do you thing that you are inherently better or something?
Or are you a LARPer where stats don't matter cause if so you still don't have the right to implicit insult to anyone here as you lack any balancing in that system(if there is one) regardless, if not 1: Then why bother commenting 2: A game without stats or(Note that or it's very important) wining conditions isn't a game, it's just goofing around.
2nd Reaction(after rereading comment): Are you implying that role playing character stats is irrelevant to the character?
@@quintoncraig9299 get over yourself you creeper.
so do I roll for fort and stuff to?
For fort, ref, and will, it's listed out in the table under your character's chosen class. those numbers in that table go under 'base save', then fort gets the con mod, ref gets dex mod, and will gets wis mod respectively. that should give you the basic fort, ref, and will saves, unless you have other additions according to your custom character. Hope that helps! (short answer: no, you don't roll for those saves; you use the modifiers from your previously rolled dice!)

Dwarven Tavern thank you so much this really helps I'm new to this I haven't even done an adventure so I'm really glad you helped me. my character is male elf druid

Well met. Sub +1
great vid! almost everything that really matters of that char sheet is explained here on a really funny and easy way... and i think i just fell in love with lyrics x'd
Thank youuuuu! My friends and I are doing a Skype campaign during the lock-down.
How do I figure out my Misc Modifier, Temp. Modifier, Misc Penalties and Misc Bonus?
Those modifiers are based on the context and situation and are given as they occur, like a potion for combat bonuses, or a magic item that buffs your Dex score while you're wearing it. All of that is up to the DM when you're playing. :)
Cheers!
I have many fond memories of playing and DMing 3.5. I kind of miss it.
We're still playing here at the tavern, my son, taverneer Ian is actually running a 3.5 campaign as I write this.
Great set of rules that are open to mods and house rules. :) You have good taste, sir.
As someone who really only played a couple of 5e one shots (most of them not even completed), I found this video really helpful. I live somewhere where D&D isn't popular and the closest board game club which specializes in D&D is 300km away! So just grasping the basics of D&D can be hard, especially when the books are expensive as hell and hard to find even in the neighbouring countries. D&D 3.5e has some very complex character creating rules, and this video made it much easier to understand. Thanks!
Thank you very much for the wonderful feedback! Very much appreciated. :)
If you are really wanting to play with a group, I might be able to put you in touch with some online gamers who love new players. If you have discord and steam, there is a virtual tabletop game that the folks I know game with people from all over the world.
@@DwarvenTavernI really appreciate that but no thanks. The thing about not finding enough people wasn't really a complaint, since there is a board game club which plays D&D near me, however i don't get enough time for it because of school and stuff :) , tho I have heard about sites like Roll20 and Table Top Simulator.
Edit: By the way, I thought that this was a channel with hundreds of thousands of subs, but wow, you guys are underrated! Keep up the good work.
This is a really cool video! It was helpful with very fun visuals. Thanks a ton for this!
You fall unconscious at -1 Hp, at 0 Hp you are still conscious and capable of limited movements and actions ( you can drink a potion)
at -1 hp you fall unconscious and must make several Stabilization checks to stop losing 1hp per round until -10 when you die.
That is correct, of course. We have been playing with this adjustment for so long, we forget that's it's not the rule. We have carried over a few things from 1st ed that seems to make more sense.
Well here I am learning that "fuckability" is in fact covered in DnD character stats.
*kills monster and levels up* make me hotter
This was the cutest, funniest, clearest and easiest to follow guide I've seen on DnD!! The adorable cosplay & acting was icing on the cake! Thank you so much!!
You write 7's like me! I love how this video was produced well done :)
3.5 is as fine an edition as any other but the draft is a mess.
your charisma build charmed me
You did a great job!
thank you, it was real fun watching you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
