On the episode where the Barbarian kills Strahd he had a Bingo card, and reaching level 20 was already checked off on his things to do. So yes, he is a level 20 barbarian.
Did anyone notice that the Barbarian may actually be pure by the standards of the pegasus? He doesn't swear, doesn't hoard loot, only kills monsters, and isn't shown to have a sex life.
It kinda becomes worse, he only killed the Genie after it asked him too. Technically he didn't kill the vampire, the sun did. Technically the Lich and the Hag are immortal. And the Medusa is only petrified. The one hag could have died in some manner that can be excused as well. Even the sword guy is shown to be able to scream at the end so is technically not dead. So he very well might be fully pure.
and why kill an enemy when you can make them suffer for eternity, like how the lich has to suffer it's regenerated limbs being made into jerky all the time
@@jojothehamster Regrettably Blade Man is dead. DS put out a 12 hour video of him getting stabbed over and over with a toothpick, he stopped screaming after four hours and at the end he was a fine paste.
@ paladins are based on charisma and wisdom, hes so charismatic the enemies pitty him so they refuse to fight him. He also never freaked out after the oaths binding with no mount. Just slightly inconvenienced
It just hit me that he knows she said squirt of lemon because he was waiting for her to get to the last step of her elixir. He was just standing there, menacingly, outside her door, patiently anticipating her last mistake.
He didn't intervene until she tried to kill the little girl instead of just taking her hair. Once she said she only needed the hair, he happily ripped out the lock himself.
2:49 as someone who has DMed Curse of Strahd a few times, yes he is vulnerable to sunlight, which is why he fears the Sun Sword so much. He just doesn't have to worry about the sun because as long as he lives, Barovia is in constant shadow.
I gave a party a mcguffin that could generate a small beam of sunlight but only if it was held stationary, the intent was to have them them think about positioning for the fight, instead they started collecting every mirror they came across and asked themselves what would Link do.
@@snowpegasi Last Strahd game I played we stomped Strahd by trapping him in a massive area of sunlight inside his castle as our entire party were a bunch of clerics, so during the fight we all ran into our respective corner of the crypts that we were in and then each of us cast Dawn.
He is in fact a level 20 barbarian. The Chevoes list is an episode guide to an extent. The My Blade bad guy is githyanki. And the sword has "every single enchantment,with a 100% chance of decapitation." Meaning it's vorple. The chevoes list has a box about breaking a vorple blade with his neck.😂
The lich being cut up over and over, it comes from a similar story. In norse mythology, thor's wife has immaculate Golden hair, loki got drunk and pulled out her hair from the roots. Once thor became aware of this, he threatened to break loki's bones every day forever, he said that one day he'll become very proficient at it and should be able to do it within a few minutes.
@@Anonymous_glitch The hair incident directly led to a smithing contest between two sets of Dwarven brothers, to make one gift each for Odin, Thor and Frey. For Thor, the three sons of Ivaldi crafted a golden wig which would take root in Sif’s scalp to replace her stolen original hair. Brokk and Eitri forged Mjolnir.
@@Unethical.FandubsGames The 3 biggest assholes of 'old' mythologies; Loki, Zeus and Set. Love reading stories about them all, never a boring situation when they enter the fray.

You can actually find the barbarian's character sheet if you search for it, it's actually a Legendary Feat that gives him the ability to reduce the damage of any attack to zero one time per day. he also has the ability to essentially short range teleport, like in the Medusa video.
Well, except he's absolutely evil. Neutral at best. Being good does not mean you can torture bad guys. Its still an evil act no matter who commits it and who the victim is.
@@Merilirem that's not technically accurate. Even if the Barbarian was Lawful Good he could still do some twisted stuff as long as it was deemed Lawful and Righteous according to both society and whatever he believes is moral but this type of alignment can make the character a monstrous tyrant in some situations even though they are supposed to be the good guy. Chaotic Good has a lot more flexibility in this scenario and is quite fitting. He is Good but he doesn't follow Societies Law for how he goes about good deeds. Additionally according to the Bingo Card we see that he has reached enlightenment which is usually achieved by following a religious practice which means he follows some type of religious path and possibly follows the morality of a specific type of deity. With that in mind he could be doing exactly what his religion and alignment says is the right way to punish monsters and villains perhaps with a form of spiritual cleansing thru ongoing suffering or he might even be handling them as he does as a way to make sure they can't regenerate and come back to harm more innocents but because he is not lawful, ongoing immortal penance and suffering is not off the table.
@@Merilirem You can't even decide if the Barbarian is neutral or evil, yet you are so certain as to what good should be yet totally uncertain as to what the line between neutral and evil is. Look dude, just because you don't have the stomach to do bad things to bad people, doesn't mean the rest of us are also gutless and paralyzed by your idea of what is good. You are not the supreme arbiter of morality, the majority of people call him the chaotic good barbarian but I guess you are just levitating above us all in terms of moral and intellectual superiority... while you huff your own farts that no doubt smell like roses. TLDR You're wrong and grossly oversimplifying morality, sometimes harsh punishment of evil deeds must be done but you'd prefer not cause it makes you feel icky. Never run a D&D game, you'd strip a paladin of their powers in the first five minutes for going "too far" on some bandits who just burned and pillaged an entire village with no survivors left to save.

We still have at least 5 more episodes of the barbarian to look forward to. If you pause at 3:54 you can see the bingo card he has. Mimic urinal, break heart of succubus, eat the heart of succubus, literal cloak of elvenkind, dryad dining set, infinite tarrasque jerky,mermaid mount, and full on insarveo style. Some of those could be done in the same episode like the unalive dracula and cook on a monster corpse.
if i recall correctly resisting these effects (petrification, vorpal, banshee scream, possession) are all resisted with barbarians defensive stats. (con and wis)
@@majorasmask5523 ah. i just looked it up to be sure. you're right. their unarmored is con instead of wis. that threw me off. thanks for correcting me. now i have to check if all those effects he resisted are con saves.
Yeah, aiming REALLY high with that one. Not even gods can fuck with her. She doesn't have a stat block, she's just a very bad day waiting for someone to happen to.
I don't. I don't want to be even indirectly within sight of that. Have already heard the story of the legendary (at least he is now) minotaur hero who deliberately ticked off the Lady of Pain because he wanted to test his racial abilities against her maze. He found himself at one end of a corridor with no turns, branches, or nearby planetary bodies to give even the slightest deviation to the exit his racial sense was telling him was precisely straight ahead... about two hundred million miles straight ahead. And he couldn't die until he got out. I have no doubt the Lady of Pain gets this every so often, and I don't want to know why I haven't already heard how it goes.
@DanaOtken Ah. I'm so sad that Noah stopped doing these, I loved counter monkey. Back to LoP, I'm really interested in what kind of leap of logic he'll do and how creative it will be. It's not canon, what's the point of policing it.
@amedeo909 I did some math, and at his stab rate, it should take about 28 hours to reach "fine paste," so he's definitely an over achiever. He also adds a squirt of lemon- spoiler alert
you didn't pause to see it, but in his bingo card he has marked "reach level 20" as well as "pull every card from a deck of many things" and "achieve enlightenment" This guy is effectively a demigod
If he drew every card from a Deck of Many Things, that means his moral alignment was once Lawful Evil before getting flipped by Balance. It seems he found a way to make it work. As seen in the Djinn video, he is a MASTER of malicious compliance.
You can also kill a vampire with "running water" like a river.... Or fire.... or silver... or just decapitation... Vampires are actually pretty easy to kill once they're identified.
The holy water enema for the banshee on the end is always awesome hilarious, like the bingo card at the vampire. There is also a video out of Dungeonsoup where he stab 1 million times the dark knight, like he promise him in the original video.
@@eldeano9964 You would be correct. Since he has another series where the entire party are Gnomes and are all different magic users. He has a Bard named Nic the Caged
The guy with the sword might have been a Githyanki? They kinda look like that, and there's an elite group of them that has special swords, although those are typically silver. Neverwinter Nights 2 had them as the enemies in the first act, and the most special Githyanki sword, the Silver Sword of Gith, also shattered into a dozen pieces like that guy's sword.
oh yeah. the 14 hour long video (or however long it is) at the end of the 1 million stabs. the barbarian says "squirt of lemon" and squirts some lemon on the pile of mush. also the voodoo doll video of the barbarian is pretty funny too
Twelve hours. Supposedly with exactly one million strikes...which is why the Barbarian starts using two toothpicks...then randomly grows a third arm and uses three toothpicks.
You can keep your charismatic Paladins and boyband Heroes, this right here is humanities true champion. Because it's not just about defeating evil, nono, it's about making evil beings regret their life choices.
Strahd is in fact vulnerable to Radiant damage. We found that out when we met him at level 3 and one of our party members landed a nat20 attack with a Radiant damage spell. Strahd proceeded to 9th level fireball his ass into the dirt LMAO
3:06 I actually had a Paladin character that wielded a sun blade, my dm threw a vampire at me which quickly turned into my Paladin throwing some holy hands with brutality.
idk how many times i've watched all of those videos since being introduced to it months ago, but i still have one question..... where the hell does that hand the pegsus uses to say "but 1 final oath" come from? lol
15:11 I could be mistaken, but I think its a githyanki (based on the ears, the gaunt facial structure and the odd shade of green with freckles. also they are obsessed with silver blades)
15:12 that is a homebrewed villain in a desperate attempt to stop a min-max barbarian. The joke is, the barbarian has so much stacked damage in as little as a toothpick strike
My curse of Strahd game ended with an oversight made by DM at the time. Short story: Strahd died by Exploding Thong of holding with 600 silver spoons inside dealing 1hp of explosion with silver fragmentation dealing necrotic and piercing damage.
2:49 if I can venture a guess, if the character came from the lost mines of phandalvin, it was a radiant mace, I had the same issue, my gunslinger just didn’t have time to use it.
That guy constantly talking about his sword in the 'My Blade' episode looks like he might be a Githyanki. His skin tone and ears give it away. It's probably not too surprising you didn't recognize it right off.
This barbarian is basically the living embodiment of "Villain who is actually a hero but makes life worse for anyone who happens to do something evil in front of him"
This really reminds me of my Human Barbarian Bjorn, who ended up with a giant hitting him in the head with a club made from a tree, and he just scratched his head in confusion. The DM saw this as reason enough to stop the fight, because the seven giants just started staring back and forth from the tree to him in confusion and we could just walk past. I did a Barbarian leap, though, and we ended up in an hour-long fight that ended in our victory
Funny thing about a curse of strahd game I played. I was basically Moon Knight (Crazy semi-undead celestial warlock) and his whole bit was that Strahd owed him 2000 GP and he'd do anything to get it back. Meanwhile, Strahd's arrogance would mean that he'd never just up and pay me back. However, as I was playing a reborn who made the agreement with Strahd 200 years before the adventure started, Strahd owed him much more gold than that, due to the power of inflation. This, combined with a loophole in Strahd's legal system meant that I could repossess an item or property equal to 100000 GP and claim ownership of it. So, in the final battle, deep within the depths of Castle Ravenloft, after my wizard friend did enough structural damage to lower the property value a bit, I shouted, "Strahd von Zarovich, you owe me a debt, and it will be paid. Per the laws of your land, I claim Castle Ravenloft. And its new master, I say this. You have never been invited into my home." Strahd then spent the rest of the fight doing everything he could to flee the castle, which he was deep inside of and, for every turn that he was within the castle, the DM made him take a bunch of psychic damage.
Gotta pay attention to the cheevos list, tells you everything he is gonna do lol, I believe the "My Blade" guys blade was a vorpal sword, which is on his list to be broken by his neck
This barbarian does make me pity even the cruelest villians just hope he decides to eventually kill you over eternal torment Ps the banshee would make a great show in town now if the wails effects aren't lethal at this point

3:07 not only sunlight, vampires can also be killed by running water, so Strahd can be killed by streams, ocean, waterfalls, etc. the important thing it's that the source is natural!
Fun fact: 2:58 and spoilers for how strahd prepares you. But the book gives you means to overpower strahd through the items the campaign sets you out to find, or even just playing a paladin as radiant damage is just that potent against him. Give a paladin haste, and a prepared action and strahd is out before the next person's turn generally.
Vampires in D&D take significant damage and suffer penalties in direct sunlight. However, in Barovia, where Strahd lives, the sun is always obscured by clouds, protecting vampires and other sunlight-sensitive creatures. Furthermore, the weakness to sunlight only triggers from true sunlight. The daylight spell won't do anything. If you got Strahd to leave the country and walk into direct sunlight, he'd have a bad time, but death would be far from instantaneous. He'd have a chance to move into the shadows (how bad he's hurt will depend on edition, with 5e being pretty tame and 3.5 killing in seconds).
You should go over the Chaotic Good Barbarian's character sheet. Dungeon Soup posted it on their youtube channel so all could see exactly what his stats, items and abilities are.
You should also take a screenshot of his bingo card in the Vampire video. All the later things that happened in each of the later videos are him checking off this card.....
and with the way he's stack out it may be he just constantly hits nat 20's, meaning while straud isn't normally weak to sunlight sunlight and a nat 20 would make him weak enough to where he wouldn't die but wished he would.
There is no natural sunlight in the kingdom strad lives in. I don't remember if its in another demension or if its just a curse. And light spells in 5e(2014) explicitly do not create sunlight. I think 5e(2024) does allow certain light spells to create sunlight.

1: Clown Nose
Anytime Strahd speaks (no save if he wants to be taken seriously), the end of his phrase is immediately punctuated by the honking sound of a bicycle horn and the appearance of a bright red ball-nose on his face (removable as a move action, though it always comes back).

Githyanki. (Space elf race that fought the Mindflayer race.) @ 15:48
Also the Barbarian voice kinda sounds like the love-child of Nicholas Cage, and Hank Hill...... or is that just me?
@@duncanbrown1495 I think they were going for Napoleon
Dynamite.
in bg3, we call them space frogs lol
Ah! Beat me to it. Nice
We still have at least 5 more episodes of the barbarian to look forward to. If you pause at 3:54 you can see the bingo card he has. Mimic urinal, break heart of succubus, eat the heart of succubus, literal cloak of elvenkind, dryad dining set, infinite tarrasque jerky,mermaid mount, and full on insarveo style. Some of those could be done in the same episode like the unalive dracula and cook on a monster corpse.
In the wise words of heavy. “ I fear no man. But that thing. It scares me”
if i recall correctly resisting these effects (petrification, vorpal, banshee scream, possession) are all resisted with barbarians defensive stats. (con and wis)
Barbarians get Strength and Constitution proficiency, not Wisdom.
@@majorasmask5523 i'm pretty sure you stack wisdom for the unarmored defense don't you?
@@michaelihnen4384 those are monks.
@@majorasmask5523 Anyway, barbarians got a skill that daily reduces any attack dmg to 0 so maybe that
@@majorasmask5523 ah. i just looked it up to be sure. you're right. their unarmored is con instead of wis. that threw me off. thanks for correcting me. now i have to check if all those effects he resisted are con saves.
3:53 " *MAZE* THE LADY OF PAIN"
Now, this is what I want to see!
Yeah, aiming REALLY high with that one. Not even gods can fuck with her. She doesn't have a stat block, she's just a very bad day waiting for someone to happen to.
I don't. I don't want to be even indirectly within sight of that. Have already heard the story of the legendary (at least he is now) minotaur hero who deliberately ticked off the Lady of Pain because he wanted to test his racial abilities against her maze. He found himself at one end of a corridor with no turns, branches, or nearby planetary bodies to give even the slightest deviation to the exit his racial sense was telling him was precisely straight ahead... about two hundred million miles straight ahead. And he couldn't die until he got out.
I have no doubt the Lady of Pain gets this every so often, and I don't want to know why I haven't already heard how it goes.
@DanaOtken Ah. I'm so sad that Noah stopped doing these, I loved counter monkey.
Back to LoP, I'm really interested in what kind of leap of logic he'll do and how creative it will be. It's not canon, what's the point of policing it.
@@DanaOtken So Sisyphus but he eventually gets to stop pushing the stone.
That's… not so bad, actually.
Also, "Full On" Insaneo Style...gotta see what that's all about.
probably my...5th? v / y tuber reaction that i watched of dungeonsoup xD
always a good time :)
There's like a 12 hour video of killing the sword villain in all 1million strikes.
0:30 That smile after he speaks. Like the voice of a haunting dream, or an angel.
Even more fun fact: theres a 12 HOUR VERSION, of him and the elf's where the elf's screams fade
@amedeo909 I did some math, and at his stab rate, it should take about 28 hours to reach "fine paste," so he's definitely an over achiever. He also adds a squirt of lemon- spoiler alert
@PartTimeSuperhero
😂🤣😂🤣 I know I wanted ed people to find that out after looking it up
I'd never considered that the barbarian saved the knight from the sus pegasus. There may be something to that.
you didn't pause to see it, but in his bingo card he has marked "reach level 20" as well as "pull every card from a deck of many things" and "achieve enlightenment" This guy is effectively a demigod
If he drew every card from a Deck of Many Things, that means his moral alignment was once Lawful Evil before getting flipped by Balance.
It seems he found a way to make it work. As seen in the Djinn video, he is a MASTER of malicious compliance.
the bingo card explains a lot. things like "reach lvl 20", "pull every card out of the deck of many things.", and "break a vorple blade with neck"
Pretty sure the 'My Blade' guy is a githyanki. They're also really REALLY proud of their Silver Swords
You got think who ever is DM'ing this uses the rule of cool frequently hahaha. The "My Blade" has an extended cut as well
I think they guy with the sword is a Githyanki, you can find them in BG3 and other D&D based games.
the blade breaks because it has EVERY enchantment. also the barbarian likely has a disintegrate weapon protection for first strike.
You can also kill a vampire with "running water" like a river.... Or fire.... or silver... or just decapitation... Vampires are actually pretty easy to kill once they're identified.
@@thomasshrum4006 one of the reasons why I would never respect but rather pity a vampire because their weaknesses are a bunch of common stuff
Wait till you see Kevin the Paladin embrace his own Chaotic Good side. Then you'll know it's good. 👌🏽
I have no idea why this was recommended, but the laughing convinced me to subscribe
He drank the elixir from the witch, ate the lemon and became basically a god.
The holy water enema for the banshee on the end is always awesome hilarious, like the bingo card at the vampire. There is also a video out of Dungeonsoup where he stab 1 million times the dark knight, like he promise him in the original video.
the STONE COLD embrace is the best fuckin pun
The barbarian sounds like Patrick Warburton trying to voice Butthead.
Also, the animation on that Stone Cold Stunner was amazing.
@@sinssideshow I was getting Nic Cage from him
Or jhonny. Bravo as a barbarian
@@eldeano9964 You would be correct. Since he has another series where the entire party are Gnomes and are all different magic users. He has a Bard named Nic the Caged
The guy with the sword might have been a Githyanki? They kinda look like that, and there's an elite group of them that has special swords, although those are typically silver. Neverwinter Nights 2 had them as the enemies in the first act, and the most special Githyanki sword, the Silver Sword of Gith, also shattered into a dozen pieces like that guy's sword.
The subtitles in these videos give extra flavour to the story
Yep. Had to rewind a couple times to make sure I read what I thought I read.
WHAT IS THAT BARBARIAN ON?!?!
A barbarian with maxed out Charisma, scary.
16:25 The barbarian drank the immortality potion too.
Hence his resistances and immunities
Jokes on you he doesn't need it because Death is too afraid of him.
oh yeah. the 14 hour long video (or however long it is)
at the end of the 1 million stabs. the barbarian says "squirt of lemon" and squirts some lemon on the pile of mush.
also the voodoo doll video of the barbarian is pretty funny too
Turn the captions on in that video, has a few lines from the author in it to skip to certain times, with a then clue to his next vide9 after it.
He stops screaming after 3 hours, btw. That poor Githyanki
Twelve hours. Supposedly with exactly one million strikes...which is why the Barbarian starts using two toothpicks...then randomly grows a third arm and uses three toothpicks.
You can keep your charismatic Paladins and boyband Heroes, this right here is humanities true champion. Because it's not just about defeating evil, nono, it's about making evil beings regret their life choices.
So the Paladin has to make Pegasus vows, despite the animal actually being an Alicorn. I think something really shady was going on here.
Strahd is in fact vulnerable to Radiant damage. We found that out when we met him at level 3 and one of our party members landed a nat20 attack with a Radiant damage spell.
Strahd proceeded to 9th level fireball his ass into the dirt LMAO
4:28 Dipper....were gonna need a whole lore dump on Willow you do realize this yes? what class is she?!
Funny thing is the djin wished for deaths stone cold embrace so the barbarian gave him the old stone cold stunner lol
3:06 I actually had a Paladin character that wielded a sun blade, my dm threw a vampire at me which quickly turned into my Paladin throwing some holy hands with brutality.
Hands down the best reaction to these vids i've seen (◕‿◕✿).
In dnd most vampires are weakened in sunlight, it's not instant kill as i remember but it does weaken them
13:35 level 20 with 4 epic boons and a wisdom stat of 30
I fear no man, but that THING. It scares me.
idk how many times i've watched all of those videos since being introduced to it months ago, but i still have one question..... where the hell does that hand the pegsus uses to say "but 1 final oath" come from? lol
I'm fairly certain the "my blade" guy is a legally distinct Gith
Lv20 barbarian broke a blade with the ability to decapitate any creature, with his neck
15:11 I could be mistaken, but I think its a githyanki (based on the ears, the gaunt facial structure and the odd shade of green with freckles. also they are obsessed with silver blades)
Been a while since I saw Dipper got scared 😂 That unicorn definitely gave her +1000 anxiety
Almost every barbarian video is shown in the bingo card in the vampire video
15:12 that is a homebrewed villain in a desperate attempt to stop a min-max barbarian.
The joke is, the barbarian has so much stacked damage in as little as a toothpick strike
best character ngl
Chaotic good barbarian doesn't do bad things to you because you're bad. He uses the excuse that you're bad to do bad things to you 😂
My curse of Strahd game ended with an oversight made by DM at the time. Short story: Strahd died by Exploding Thong of holding with 600 silver spoons inside dealing 1hp of explosion with silver fragmentation dealing necrotic and piercing damage.
Oh my god, I just got the 'toothpick sword' bit...
15:12 It’s a Githyanki with a Vorpol blade.
How many " one request..." and "final request..." do that Pegasus have? 😂
The only thing I enjoy more than watching Dungeon Soup is watching other people watch Dungeon Soup.
on the post tab of dungeon soups channel is the barbarians character sheet
@@AliceIzuragi6291 Thank you very much for sharing that information!
Wait, where?
2:49 if I can venture a guess, if the character came from the lost mines of phandalvin, it was a radiant mace, I had the same issue, my gunslinger just didn’t have time to use it.
I don't know why the Barbarian gives me Nicolas Cage vibes when he plays his crazy characters
That guy constantly talking about his sword in the 'My Blade' episode looks like he might be a Githyanki. His skin tone and ears give it away. It's probably not too surprising you didn't recognize it right off.
This barbarian is basically the living embodiment of "Villain who is actually a hero but makes life worse for anyone who happens to do something evil in front of him"
7:07 good god good God he is broken in half
@@cerberusknight3987 Calm down JR!
"You must swear to bed maidens none" Well they said nothing about men. BAM! Loophole
Fun fact he is actualy doing the bingo one per video
This really reminds me of my Human Barbarian Bjorn, who ended up with a giant hitting him in the head with a club made from a tree, and he just scratched his head in confusion. The DM saw this as reason enough to stop the fight, because the seven giants just started staring back and forth from the tree to him in confusion and we could just walk past. I did a Barbarian leap, though, and we ended up in an hour-long fight that ended in our victory
Seen a million vtubers react to this and avantris as well and so far you're the only one I've seen with actual d&d experience
Thats so brutal it's kind of funny 😂
on the bingo card he dose have "reach level 20" stamped
Funny thing about a curse of strahd game I played. I was basically Moon Knight (Crazy semi-undead celestial warlock) and his whole bit was that Strahd owed him 2000 GP and he'd do anything to get it back. Meanwhile, Strahd's arrogance would mean that he'd never just up and pay me back. However, as I was playing a reborn who made the agreement with Strahd 200 years before the adventure started, Strahd owed him much more gold than that, due to the power of inflation. This, combined with a loophole in Strahd's legal system meant that I could repossess an item or property equal to 100000 GP and claim ownership of it. So, in the final battle, deep within the depths of Castle Ravenloft, after my wizard friend did enough structural damage to lower the property value a bit, I shouted, "Strahd von Zarovich, you owe me a debt, and it will be paid. Per the laws of your land, I claim Castle Ravenloft. And its new master, I say this. You have never been invited into my home." Strahd then spent the rest of the fight doing everything he could to flee the castle, which he was deep inside of and, for every turn that he was within the castle, the DM made him take a bunch of psychic damage.
Gotta pay attention to the cheevos list, tells you everything he is gonna do lol, I believe the "My Blade" guys blade was a vorpal sword, which is on his list to be broken by his neck
16:30 "what happened to his blade?"
*Nat 1 Has entered the call*
This barbarian does make me pity even the cruelest villians just hope he decides to eventually kill you over eternal torment
Ps the banshee would make a great show in town now if the wails effects aren't lethal at this point

3:07 not only sunlight, vampires can also be killed by running water, so Strahd can be killed by streams, ocean, waterfalls, etc. the important thing it's that the source is natural!
Pretty sure he's Chaotic Evil. Taking psychopath pleasures in ripping people apart just because they're evil doesn't make you good.
curse of strahd was fun. he is weak to sunlight. but he'll never die, he'll come back for he is cursed.
Fun fact: 2:58 and spoilers for how strahd prepares you. But the book gives you means to overpower strahd through the items the campaign sets you out to find, or even just playing a paladin as radiant damage is just that potent against him. Give a paladin haste, and a prepared action and strahd is out before the next person's turn generally.
Vampires in D&D take significant damage and suffer penalties in direct sunlight. However, in Barovia, where Strahd lives, the sun is always obscured by clouds, protecting vampires and other sunlight-sensitive creatures. Furthermore, the weakness to sunlight only triggers from true sunlight. The daylight spell won't do anything.
If you got Strahd to leave the country and walk into direct sunlight, he'd have a bad time, but death would be far from instantaneous. He'd have a chance to move into the shadows (how bad he's hurt will depend on edition, with 5e being pretty tame and 3.5 killing in seconds).
Tbf, it looks more like a melnibonean than a hobgoblin based on the blade
Cheers to all of my Chaos-players who just got a LOAD more fun ideas!
You should go over the Chaotic Good Barbarian's character sheet.
Dungeon Soup posted it on their youtube channel so all could see exactly what his stats, items and abilities are.
You should also take a screenshot of his bingo card in the Vampire video.
All the later things that happened in each of the later videos are him checking off this card.....
the sheet for the barbarian has his whole info on ds's channel.
and with the way he's stack out it may be he just constantly hits nat 20's, meaning while straud isn't normally weak to sunlight
sunlight and a nat 20 would make him weak enough to where he wouldn't die but wished he would.
@13:50 uhhh yeah, and he's enlightened too.
@20:31 heyyy internetcity they are awesome mikey and arron are menaces in their own right.
There is no natural sunlight in the kingdom strad lives in. I don't remember if its in another demension or if its just a curse.
And light spells in 5e(2014) explicitly do not create sunlight. I think 5e(2024) does allow certain light spells to create sunlight.
