Hey dont go into the comments before watching the episode because there are alot of spoilers
Thank you, friend.
I would think that by now everyone would know that, let alone in the comments section of an rpg video where people want to discuss what happened.
The top comment is the best comment.
national hero
Thank you, tree dude
I love the way everyone roleplays and resists the urge to powergame. It is such a delight. a welcome distraction from daily anxiety.
Hey Jerry (and Ryan): YES you absolutely double your smite dice when you crit!!
Tito Rigatoni yup all dice are doubled. Only time they aren't is on a barbarian's brutal critical since it specifies roll extra damage dice.
Yes, as a Paladin, the melee attack on the Held target should have been hit = auto crit, so 4d6 sword hit +4d8 (min) regular smite or +2d6 wrath smite or searing smite+great weapon master 10+ strength (3) = min 19
Not in 5e; auto-crit is only on an incapacitated target, not on a restrained target.
In 5e auto-crit is on "paralyzed" target, not on "incapacitated" or "restrained". PHB p 292. Hold Person does inflict "paralyzed".
Jerry doesn't seem to care much for the rules in this show. He treats them more like guidelines to be used as a hook to pull the players along his story when they start getting out of line.
I thought Spice wore so much perfume because he was suffering from the resurrection curse and he was slowly rotting away. I guess this is fine as well.
Malfeason ......it was obvious from the beginning. Before they meet spice she smells strawberries (always does when brama is around). He takes specific care to explain how overly plain the lute is. Finally on a 28 perception all she knows is multiple competing powerful colognes are being used clearly to cover another scent. Also it's Jerry. Lutiae - Carawae.....kinda obvious here. He gave her multiple chances to figure it out on her own and instead he had to b.s. in some shot about foremother revealing it. A power I doubt that sword will have any time Jerry isn't using it to make a reveal.
50:14 "I think looking will be enough." Said the blind man.
Maybe the best campaign ever for character-driven story moments. Thank you.
Jerry is a railroad conductor. Every time the story starts to stray from his written notes, he makes up rules or NPCs super heroes without actual in game skills to pull it back onto the rails. The players aren't driving anything, he's just letting them decorate their club car on the C-Team express, destination already decided. Like in this episode, 2 of the characters should have flat out died if they followed the rules. Rosie should have been attacked many more times due to opportunity of attacks at the very least. No, Jerry has his story and he isn't going to let any character die.
As pretty much everyone at the table has said on several occasions, this game is driven by its narrative, and the players are very happy with how it runs. As a viewer and a DM myself, I am ALSO way into it. You can run whatever kind of game YOU want, but the first rule of D&D is whatever the table decides supersedes the rulebook.
In short, I see no reason for you to yuck their yum--let alone continue to watch if you don't enjoy it.
From the very first episode he's ignored attacks of opportunity. Not just in favor of the party but also against. This is likely due to how it becomes a bit convoluted without a battlemap to make it easy.
As for the claim that he railroads them, that's simply not true as he allows the story to trail far from the original narrative. For instance how the entirety of Team B was originally supposed to be as allies before chat decided the vampires were LARPers so he changed them, then, when Walnut approached them aggressively he made Oak into a jerk and it was only because Walnut showed interest in Brauma when he originally described her that the entire Walnut love interest happened. The story would have been much different had he not played into the actions of the party. This is also seen in how he interacts with the rest of the party such as K'Thriss's chats with various deities (took his eyes when he said he couldn't see) and the fact that, despite them putting it off for so long, he never once tried to push the party into visiting Skiah for Donaar's story. Hell, need I mention that he never planned or even thought it an option when they sent Donaar into the shadow realm?
At worst he manipulated things, as any DM would, to keep the party together. That's to be expected though because jumping to each members unique stories after they separated detracts from it being a group activity with a shared storytelling experience, aka, the whole point of D&D.
Love this show. This group is so much fun, so witty and spontaneous, everybody vibing, and Jerry is a master at creative turns of phrase..

Good gods I love these people so much.
Yo, Donaar:
- You can't use two smite spells in the same turn. This isn't a special rule, it's because all those smite-y spells have a Bonus Action casting time, so you'd need more than one bonus action to cast more than one of them. So that turn where you used two different smites, you cheated. But:
- You kinda cheated yourself out extra damage. You have a class feature called Divine Smite that is not your smite spells. Whenever you hit with an attack you can choose (without expending extra Action/Bonus/move/whatever) to spend a spell slot to deal extra d8s of radiant damage. Starts at 2d8, goes up by 1d8 per slot above 1st. You could've been dealing 2d8 extra rather than 2d6+effects. Further:
- You can use both a spell smite and your Divine Smite on the same attack. Nothing but your spell slots and your ability to maintain Concentration on the smite spell limits you in this. You could deal both the extra 2d6 from Wrathful Smite and an extra 2d8 from Divine Smite on top of your 2d6 from your weapon. It's banaynay. Finally:
- Whenever an attack becomes a critical hit, all dice rolled for damage before it is a critical hit are rolled double. That includes your smites. Only dice that happen directly due to crits don't double. This means that if you swung for 2d6 (weapon) + 2d6 (spell smite) + 2d8 (divine smite), on a crit you'd roll for 4d6 + 4d6 + 4d8. Yeah. For real. Note:
- There's a boring, useful feat called Savage Attacker that lets you reroll melee attack damage once per turn. For burst damage attackers like Paladins and Rogues, it's fairly handy. Again: it's boring, because unlike most feats that's all it gives you.
I have to say, I absolutely love the intense drama moments of these games! Makes a great story! When will the C Team be up on a PAX screen? That would be awesome!
Man it seems like the princess is now a target, the kid might actually be safer with the C Team.
Ok this might be crazy. And i kinda hope my theory is not true. But Rosie has had many jobs in her long life. We kinda got a peak into rosies past durring the ritual before the big fight and i got feeling there is a dark past rosie is trying hard to bury. Anywhoo what if rosies dark secret is that she was an assassin and all of her adopted children are the offspring of her former victims and she adppts them as some kind of atonement
Mark Adams she seems to be some kind of mob boss, with her getting protection money and being treated like a Don in the halfling establishment. I'm sure quite a lot of people ended up sleeping with the fishes...
Lol miles very true
Imagine if you will a dark grandmother...
@Moon Shadow: Like Granny Goodness?
Well, she did say (last episode?) that she has been involved in situations where her actions resulted in orphans soooooo...
I love now the alcohol thing 2 episodes ago, where K'thriss gave, "Spice" his alcohol and Spice freaking out, turns out it was Brahma. Freaking hilarious.
Damn Pat, good job with the "If it pleases the council"
Since Clarkmore is appearantly really good at martial arts, I'd like to imagine him and Jess (?) having a DBZ style blow exchange.
I really loved this episode.
So they _may_ wind up with some Tiamat cultists hunting them... or some shadow dragon type thing (that's fine, no need to worry about that).
Plus there's been some secret stuff with Oak transpiring this whole time that we've yet to find out. Has what's left of the B Team gone fully rogue?
And of course, Walnut needs to tell her team mates that her magic has been compromised by the amethyst thing that also stole K'thriss' eyes. Dealing with that _situation_ will likely be the conclusion of season 1. But I suspect it still needs to get its tentacles around Rosie and Dona'ar's magicky sources.
But imagine finding a way to sick that thing on Tiamat?
It might already have Rosie's. Remember the shadow version of Rosie that mediated for the shadow king and the Shardling's attempt to alter Walnut by kicking out alternate timeline versions of her. Possibly Donaar's too, who knows what happened to him in the shadow realm.
I think donnar will take big fights more seriously now :), the baby bjorn battle mode is an awesome visual, but it's a horrible strategy for fighting
Yeah, that was my thought. I was expecting them to de-couple a lot quicker, that it was just an entrance gimmick. Because it put both of them at serious risk, allowing some effects to easily include both of them and preventing them from flanking for advantage.
Also, Rosie was pretty slow at getting that stun in there (bad luck it didn't take hold) but combat has been a rarity so it's hard to blame someone for forgetting some stuff like that.
Ljubomir Juraj well it was before they knew it was a tiamat cultist uprising. He had to put some flair into an honour battle.
He did over 100 damage over the course of the fight. Idk how more serious youd want him to be. Even if they decoupled earlier (which I was expecting too) fight could have only gitten wirse by Rosie going after Jessum instead of helping Donaar.
No, he won't Jerry has made it clear he'll bend any rule he needs to to keep them from dying. No one is taking this seriously anymore, they're all just playing "Once Upon a Time" now. Not D&D.
Good god I want to see this fight animated
I am well aware how super late I am watching all of this and I love it all but I'm confused how dinar forgot about the gauntlet that he desperately wanted
Omg. Clarkmore is a reindeer. Of course he’s a reindeer! I completely missed the significance earlier.
hey just incase you dont know eldritch blast has really good synergy with hex because hex procs for each ray of EB it will help your damage alot kthriss
I figured magic missile would also proc per bolt, but Jerry only let one hex bonus damage go through. I think that was during the cake episode.
Have Ryan and Jerry houseruled Divine Smite? RAW, you burn a spell slot to deal 2d8 Radiant damage when you hit with a melee attack, and add 1d8 for each spell slot above 1st. Wrathful Smite, Thunderous Smite and the like are 1st or 2nd level spells and take an action or a bonus action to cast. That way you could cast Thunderous Smite, then next turn hit a creature, deal your normal weapon damage, burn a 2nd level spell slot to deal 3d8 damage, and Thunderous Smite would trigger too, dealing the 2d6 Thunder damage.
Don't have a problem with how they're playing it, I was just curious. It also means Danaar could do a lot more damage than he is at the moment (an average of 30 damage, as opposed to 15, if I get my quick head-maths correct there).
Yeah I was thinking the same thing, seems like they have made Donaar less powerful
I think they just forgot how Divine Smite worked because they saw the smite spells and used those instead. Unless you want the extra burst damage you're almost always better off burning the spell slot on Divine Smite than actually casting a smite spell, so yeah, it did seem a little dumb.
I think they also forgot about Great Weapon Fighting Style, as he rolled a few 1s and 2s on the damage dice that he could have re-rolled with that feature.
Oh well, it's not the end of the world. Like last time I'm pretty sure it's mostly down to inexperience with the system and combat in general considering how rarely a fight that lasts more than a turn or two actually happens in this campaign.
I need fanart of danar healing rosie to health while hiding from writhing dark dragon goddess magic pls?
Please note that if you use hold person and the target is paralyzed, any attack within 5 feet of a paralyzed target is an automatic critical hit.
I am going to smile and enjoy the fact yhat k'thriss did exactly what i, a person who has never played DND before would have done.
"Oh no, there's the strawberries!" [breaks into giggles]
FYI: smite damage dice double on a crit! That's what makes it so OP
I like how, being a DM and all, I have seen that revelation on the last session. But Walnut being Walnut and whatnot, did not see it coming.
Heliophage I'm not a DM. Jerry made it almost painfully obvious and just kept giving her chances to figure it out. Amy just wasn't picking it up.
"David Schwimmerscales"
How did that get ZERO reaction????
Look me in the cosmic snake when you say that!
Been waiting for this all day.
Just realized, in the last episode when donar didn't use smite on his attack before he grab the guy
This episode was BAD ASS
And BTW love when Walnut gets dolled up :)
If Walnut had shown the princess the amulet of Tiamat when she found it, things could have been different.
Ryan? Find Steed says that you a spell that affects you also affects your steed but ONLY when you're mounted ...
So, how did Walnut's Hold Person spell work if the rest of her magic is broken?
Head canon the adjunct sorcerer is busy projecting the fight throughout the city
It might be just some aspects of her magic that are warped. Like, growing new life or giving life back to the wounded doesn't make sense for whatever entity is connected to her power right now, but keeping a sucker paralyzed for a while could be more on brand. If I was in that situation I'd load up on stuff that hurts people and see if that works more along the lines of what I'd expect.
It works but I wasn’t close enough to see what corruption I did to the dragonborn. The magic is all effed in different ways.
That bites "20"
All ROLLED dice double on a crit, whereas static modifiers / bonuses to damage DON'T double. You would double the Smite damage, as well.
If I ever met you Amy, our resting scowl faces, will destroy the universe. I get told all the time my look could kill, but I am just a big softy.
kingstewy SAME
Amy T Falcone You can smile. All I can just muster is a half cocked smirk lol.
44:30 I died, rip me, died of humor.
sassholes HAHAHA
All these people rules-lawyering in the comments, and here I am weirded out by how casually they treated their brutal murder of Jessen.
Rosie seems like a Bugs Bunny backup
Woo hoo the c team rulz
Donaar was unconscious. He went unconscious. Stop saying he died.
STALKER953 I miss donaar. It feels like I can sometimes still hear him.
Either way i can see Donaar saying he died bc he's super dramatic about stuff and just wants attention.
WALNUT WITHOUT GLASSES!?
Why doesn't Donaar use his Oath of Vengeance Vow of Enmity?
BenDunno his “sheet” says Vengeance.
When Ryan gave his interview, he mentioned a dialog with Jerry that the oath had never come up so far, so her felt Oath of the Crown
was a better fit, and Jerry agreed.
If the character sheet has not been updated, that is probably just an oversight.
Why did the Hold Person spell work?
Great episode and, as always, terrible comment section! Guys this show isn't about combat or rules, no one gives a shit about them. It's about having fun, not following the rules to the letter.
It even says in the books that the rules are just a guideline and the DM is free to change or ignore things as they like.
I agree that the DM is the final say on rules, but I would like to argue why it is somewhat important they get the rules right.
A) C-team is part of the universe of Acq. Inc. and should use the same rules as the A-team, just for the sake of the story.
B) They, overall, are trying to abide by the rules in the rule book, it isn't house rules, so when they get something wrong according to the rules they are following, it is deemed wrong.
I find their custom rules really cool, like the special abilities, combo abilities, etc. but they are buy and large trying to follow the basic rules, so they should try to follow them. I agree that the angry comments should "Cooool out!" but at the same time, players need to play by the rules that they set.
People obviously give a shit about them. The rules are there so that what is happening to this show doesn't happen. The players aren't taking it seriously anymore, they know they aren't going to die and that Jerry will just let them pull whatever they want out of their asses in order to keep it from happening. Every time the players start to wander off the storyline, Jerry adjusts some rules and reality with NPCs to railroad them right back on track. The show is going to eventually become quite dull as a result of this. This episode is a good example. Did anyone think the characters were actually going to die at any point once you realized Jerry was just going to railroad the battle and rescue attempt?
When Tony Stark flew into the portal with the nuke did you really think he was going to die? Even without the trailer showing hulk catching a falling Ironman? In any other game they could just resurrect fallen team members or re-roll a new character. But with Perkins taking resurrection out of the picture, and a serials wanting/needing to keep the same main characters it's not all that unheard of to use dues ex machina to save the party. Jerry put the team in a Kobayashi Maru situation, gave Donnar character development by having his arrogant ass get stomped, but at the same time he took a beating to expose the Princes plot and was rewarded by having Eggy returned to him. Personally I like the way Jerry keeps them all on task, it'd get really boring and convoluted if the four of them just went off on any tangent they wanted. Jerry has to make a show every week, and keep the Shadow Council entertained for two and a half hours and does a lot better job than most of us would in his place. You know what else he did, set up plot thread for season 2. We can now look forward to Connar/Donnar battle combos, finding out that Donnar has become a mocking jay type character being a symbol for the Resistant. We have a Princess Leia character, her family divided, her home at risk of being destroyed, a clan of Dragonborn cultist with a rage boner for Donnar, and those are just the threads I can come up with off the top of my head. If the rules were the end all be all you might as well just but the DM Guide in the DM's chair and set up an auto roller program. You complain that Jerry puts the game on rails, but strictly following the rules is the ultimate rail road.
1:04:15, Rosie took advantage sand only rolled once, if u get a 20 on a death save u get back up, no more death save so u wasted a advantage, could have rolled a 20
Yeah i caught that too
Sorry, rule junky. ALL DICE DOUBLE ON CRITS AAARRRGGHHHH!!! Also, does big daddy D ever just use the normal (much more powerful) smite?
Hey jerry what do you think of a thri kreen pugilist as a character?
20:30 I knew it
great at Rp, shit at combat.
they back-load their burst damage and status effects.
Monk/paladin can fish for crits with stun/advantage.
I'm sad I missed this on Twitch.
I never get to see it on Twitch - Thursday night is my *actual* D&D night :-D
If you watch it on Twitch you get to chat with all the people (like LittleCLUUS (the lady who gave them all the cookies and glasses and stuff)). In some of their other streams Amy Falcone hangs out as well as some other folks. Everybody is really nice. If you tune in during the Acquisitions Intoxicated stream you can help vote on the beers they make.
Yeah, I know. Unfortunately like I said, I can't because I'm actually DMing a D&D campaign on Thursday nights.
Neat! I haven't played actual D&D in decades. :)
Cheers!
It does bug me that they don't really know the basic rules, or move to learn them. But, it only bugs me because I do, so yeah IDK. Winging it is cool
yep. K'thriss especially needs to sit down and read the rules and the Warlock description: You CAN'T cast two spells on the same turn. ALL your spells are cast at 3rd level. You only have TWO spell slots.
Jerry needs to pull things back in. Flubbing rules to make things awesome on occasion can be ok, but at this point everything is just random rulings about everything with no consistency. It's going to kill the adventure eventually because there's no danger and the players aren't taking it seriously. Also, Jerry is a railroad DM who changes the rules in order to keep his players on the rails. Don't even think about messing with his story.
I feel that. I don't like playing games without first actually learning the rules, myself. They need a rules lawyer at the table! :P
Also yes: Unarmed strikes are melee weapon attacks. This is true for everyone; not just monks. Stunning Strike and the like work with punches!
As someone new to D&D (not to use as an excuse for them) I had a hard time trying to understand how everything works purely by reading. There is ALOT to take in and try to make sense of that I guess may not make sense unless you have a feel for the game. Either way, as someone who tried just reading the rules it is really difficult to comprehend what everything means. It is much easier when at least one person does know how things work.
That's not how smite works...
they don't care, this is a RP heavy game loosely based on d&d 5e
Ssssssssthpoilerrrrrrthsssss!!!
i am interested to learn whats going on , i think you are playing board games , no offense i am really really interested but i dont know whats going , because i dont have the knowledge but want to learn . someone help me. this looks fun
i wanna know the rules and how its played . i may sound stupid , but i am stupid about what is going on.
They're playing dungeons and dragons 5th edition! You can find the core rule books and manuals online. If you want to play, I'd suggest a 1st level session at a local game/comic shop. There are also similar systems, like Pathfinder. There are definitely homebrew elements, if you play with a group of friends you could definitely talk to your DM about implementing some.
GUTTS THE DEMON SLAYER, start from episode one and it should become pretty clear as Ryan (Donnar) is learning while playing.
Basically in d&d you say what you want to do and then you roll dice to see if you succeeded, unless your story around it is so good that the dungeon master gives it to you for free or so outlandish that he just says "no". He is the arbiter of that world.
i do want to play , but now i feel sad cause the game is expensive and i am not able to afford it . worst is none of my friends play this kind of games or is interested . for last 4 hrs i am only trying to understand the game but yet i still wont be able to play .
Do you live in a place with comic or game shops? They often host a game once a week and can walk you through the game and how to play it. That's where I Learned! Also, head over to feel and sundry or Matthew Colville's channel for tips on how to get started. There's decades of material and it's easy to get overwhelmed. I have also heard of people who play on discord. This might be a great way for you to make new friends who are also into table top!
i thought lay on hands was a bonus action after any attacks.
D silva nope, full action
Healing Word is the only Bonus action heal, the rest are full Actions (spells & lay on hands)
Why are they doing Smite Wrong?!
I hate how Donaar is the weakest combat party member of the team. Like I really wanted him to win that fight, why put him in a gladiator fight with someone that can absorb what? 3 times the hit points of a single character and show no dmg what so ever.
He really isn't the weakest combat member. I mean hell, he lasted that long and did some incredible hits.
He was doling out like 20+ HP worth of damage with his smites. That's pretty legit. I see where you are coming from but I think for narrative purposes it's great that Donaar and Rosie are forging a "battle bond".
Yeah, K'thriss would have been down after 1-2 hits. (glass cannons, gotta love em!)
Two words, Kobayashi Maru, it's fun to see how people handle no win situations. Also did he loose? The Prince was exposed, Donaar is alive, and Eggy is home where she belongs.
Buster Bear love that reference, same kind of deal when you introduce Strahd early in the campaign just to see what they do lol
I keep accidentally going to table talk first.
The Smite VERY MUCH doubles. That's why paladins are broken
i love you guys but please move the mics away from your throat if you are going to be drinking on stream. PLEASE
The rules of D&D are just out the fucking window at this point.. I 100% understand the DM is god of these lands but make the players take it seriously. Give them consequences for their stupid decisions. Im not saying kill off their character for them zigging when they should of zagged but you gotta reel in the realism at some point.. Donaar.. poor sweet simple donaar. STUDY YOUR FN CLASS! B4 entering the most important fight of the campaign thus far.
ಠ_ಠ
So won't Donaar suffer from Acererak's death curse now?
Ethan Oswell he would if he had died, but he didn't. He was only unconscious.
He needed to fail the 3 death saves including in order to be dead (or take him to neg hit points = pos hit points) but since he made his 3 saves he stabilized at 0 hp (and would then heal & wake up)
Amy's so beautiful. I just need this to be acknowledged for a moment. Beautiful, beautiful, lady.
Watching Jerry ignore the rules and the bad choices the players are making just to keep them from dying is starting to ruin the game. Rosie should, by the rules, died several times during duel. But Jerry won't let his pet die or suffer consequences, as a result the players aren't taking any of it seriously and instead of doing what makes sense, they're going for the ludicrous. She missuses her Ki points on a regular basis and for some reason never seems to trigger any attacks of opportunity when she's ignoring movement and attack rules to fit 3 turns into 1. Additionally, someone needs to pull her aside and explain how the monk works, especially a shadow monk. Ki points don't work the way she thinks they do, she gets 3 bonus actions a turn and she's not supposed to be trying to tank things all the time. Having played two different monks up to level 20 from level 1, it's painful to watch.
Imagine being so upset at how another group plays D&D that you type a whole paragraph, and detail how you are a master of monks because you max leveled two fictional characters in a pen and paper game.
LOL, Donald you couldn't be more right.
Sometimes... I... have a difficult... time... Y'know... keeping track... of... what... they're talking, discussing, deliberating... about. Uh... there are... um... a great deal of... pauses. I, I... uh... I... so... um... ah... and then a plethora of... words... come tumbling outatarapidpace, and... sometimes I'll... y'know, miss... important plot points.
For real, it's taken me a while to get used to the cadence with which Jerry and everyone in the game speak while they're playing. I get it that oftentimes we pause to think of the right word to convey what we mean, but for the first bunch of episodes of The "C" Team, I had no idea what they were talking about.
I know what you mean, the sometimes-stumbling sentences aren't the best. Personally, I switch the speed of the video up to 1.5x or even 2x, dunno if that would help your problem, but it seems to bring the meaningful words to the forefront, less gaps between what's going on. To be fair, it might have the opposite effect for your issue
billy1bob2ones3 I’ll give that a shot. Thanks.
I haven't had any problems understanding them at all. What they're doing is difficult. They're collaboratively writing a story, live, in front of an audience. They're making everything up on the spot, and adjusting mid-stream based on the random results from the dice.
