I always like playing a human on my first playthrough for this reason: the idea of a world where the fantastic is normal, being "normal" actually stands out.
Hello! I've been listening to all your episodes on Spotify at work! I just got through the Cleric episode. (I know there's a lot of catching up to do.) I just wanted to say I have never played D&D but I find your podcast to be very entertaining and full of knowledge. I love your guy's banter and It's really refreshing to hear two friends online truly get along. It helps the show really flow naturally and makes it a joy to listen to. I love absorbing all the information your guys have to offer. I hope to use it one day when I finally get to play D&D. Thank you for all you've guys have done! Keep up the hard work I know there are many, many people that agree with what I have to say and are really enjoying the show. We all have learned a lot. I hope to learn so much more. Thanks again.
I’m very new to D&D. A few months ago I started to get into it and soon plan to be a DM for my friends and family (thankfully they are geeks). It’s very hard to learn all of the rules, lore, classes and so on without actually practicing in game, but you guys help me a lot! Thank you very much.
Every classes revisited episode that isn't the rogue episode just means that the rogue episode is one less non-rogue classes revisited episode away (-':
Yeah...I saw what was happening on Itunes around the time the Druid episode was released and my heart broke in two. That evil and curse'd "Order of the Alphabet" is an organized oppression tactic that is even utilized by Xanathar himself! Well..it's not really evil per se. It just happens to put my rogue plans in a sad, sad spot on you guy's schedule. That being said, seeing as you guys may just be running out of races before we get to the rogue, do you plan on filling in Races of the Realms with other races that may not be "playable"(duergar??)? Aditionallly, I know that neither of you are huge fans of the forgotten realms, but do you think you will be touching on the race of humans and their many different ethnicities within Faerun?
We will definitely be covering humans as a race at some point and their ethnicities in FR as well as other planes. I am mostly neutral on FR as a setting, but I understand that it is a subject that a lot of people desire to know more about and we will be sure to dive just as much into as any other topic.
As someone who's generally new to the hobby, I've heard a lot of people say that Fighters are that killing machines in D&D, unmatched in their raw fighting power, but are mechanically lacking in social situations. I see the Purple Dragon Knight as Wizards' attempt to help the Fighter thrive in that social area as well as combat. I don't see anything wrong with that, even if it makes the Fighter less powerful in battle. Totally agree with you guys about Bulwark, though. Also, I appreciate how the subclass augments and upgrades existing abilities in the Fighter class instead of just adding its own like every other subclass. I love the idea of replacing one feature with another more powerful one with a more impactful name as you level up, instead of just adding more to the list. Honestly, the thought is just cool, I've never seen it before. It might have ended up a little weak for the Purple Dragon Knight, but I hope they keep exploring that idea. Part of what makes me think Arcane Archer is better off as a Fighter subclass is that Rangers require Dex to fire their arrows, Wisdom for their regular spells and that bit of Con that everyone needs. By adding Intelligence onto it with this subclass, that would make 4 ability scores that the player would need to be decent. Fighters don't require Wisdom, making it more managable. If it wasn't for that, I would totally agree. I deeply enjoy the things you guys talk about and I'm glad you're gaining followers. Best of luck with everything!
Not only dropping knowledge on the dnd realm, but flexing the knowledge on the encounter rate of a shiny pkmn as well as their color?? You, sir, have earned yourself a subscriber.
Very good info. I agree with adding the arcane archer to the ranger class. I also would love to see episodes on multiclassing. I see one so far. The one I play alot, other than being a kick ass cleric, is a fighter/rogue. Being a cleric is awesome but being a "Fogue" is so much fun. 😁
Another informative episode ty! @Thedungeoncast We like rolling for stats 7D20 drop the lowest. Yes it could be garbage but the rewards could be GREAT!
I really like the PDK, but I agree it does need a few small tweaks. I've always wanted to play one with the inspiring leader feat, seems like it would be a cool full team buff fighter.
On the samuri abilitys the one gives you advantage on up 3 attacks per turn per use i believe you said so technically you could take 7 attacks on a normal turn dropping advantage but any time you have advantage so any spell that puts the monster at disadvantage or flanking you could pop out 8 attacks dropping all your advantages if thats not damage idk what is and it could definately be even deadlier if you dont have to declair till aftet your first roll ie "so that hits instead of rolling advantage this hit to see if i get critical i drop it for a second attack " which is basically a crit double the damage roll and another chance to possibly crit on the second attack anyway
in the Codex of Unearthed Arcana version: 1.3 there is a sorcerer in a book named Stone sorcerer if you don't have to book pick it up and do you know what this mean i can make rammus from league of legends. the race I'm using is Tortle
Hey could you guys make a guide of battle mages? drad knight, pally/sorc, bladesinger etc? what you think its best... optimized etc? thanks!!!! keep it up the good work
Lol! Norman reminds me a little bit of my halfling character Connan Chubb. He ran a meat market for decades with his wife and 11 daughters. One day he just had to leave the businesses in the girls' hands and go out to make enough of a fortune to pay for the nearly a dozen weddings that would be occurring in the next few years to decades. He took his best carving knife and a sturdy pot lid to fashion them into a useable scimitar and shield, then set off in the direction of rumors of trouble.
I was thinking of making a troll character in my current campaign, a Samurai named Nikorusu Cagu. He'd essentially be Nicolas Cage with a katana, kimono, topnot, etc. I'd also be talking like Nicolas Cage the entire time. Reaaaaally tempting.
I'd personally let you tank with 2 shields. You're literally not a threat though and probably pull no aggro so I dont know how often the enemy would think to attack you instead of sometime who's actually attacking
hey guys do you think, that a samurai needs to be an "asian" race? so like always human? because how you can explain you are a samurai. we are not tom cruise :D and now another question. if you play samurai with fighting spirit, should you play with a 2H Sword or 2 1H Swords? Or Maybe take the two longswords. first attack with 2H + Bonus Action Spirit. Action Surge and now hit with the swords in 1H. Fighting Style would be Two-Weapon Fighting. Or just go Great Sword with Great Weapon Fighting?
siccore I always thought that rule was bs. There's no way real-world samurai history would be parallel to dnd's samurai. So to have to be of "asian" persuasion to be able to use the class is dumb imo.

You could probably predict when the Rogue Revisited episode will happen if you spot our schedule pattern.

Sweet! Thanks for the reply! Keep up the good work!
Don't Make it 7 It’s because the rogue is sneaky and they’re having a hard time finding them

Lol Will and Brian almost changed names during the short rest 😂😂
Going back though left me sad that Clang Clang the Kenku didn't come to pass as a little badass birb warrior. :V Caw
Not only dropping knowledge on the dnd realm, but flexing the knowledge on the encounter rate of a shiny pkmn as well as their color??
You, sir, have earned yourself a subscriber.
AND you play MUGEN!?
Very good info. I agree with adding the arcane archer to the ranger class.
I also would love to see episodes on multiclassing. I see one so far. The one I play alot, other than being a kick ass cleric, is a fighter/rogue. Being a cleric is awesome but being a "Fogue" is so much fun. 😁
I love shiny dragonair reference lol
I think I love this Armstrong character lol
Another informative episode ty! @Thedungeoncast We like rolling for stats 7D20 drop the lowest. Yes it could be garbage but the rewards could be GREAT!
I really like the PDK, but I agree it does need a few small tweaks. I've always wanted to play one with the inspiring leader feat, seems like it would be a cool full team buff fighter.
Not sure if you actually did anything to the audio levels but this episode sounded much better!
We did! Good to hear it helped!

Hey could you guys make a guide of battle mages? drad knight, pally/sorc, bladesinger etc? what you think its best... optimized etc? thanks!!!! keep it up the good work
You can also make an arcane archer out of Eldridge knight
36:00 You gain pseudo legendary reactions lol
34:20
Literally the sentinel feat 😂
Yay i can't wait to play a fantastic feline!
Lol! Norman reminds me a little bit of my halfling character Connan Chubb. He ran a meat market for decades with his wife and 11 daughters.

If you allow centaurs as pc then it could take the cavelier class to its full potential
I was thinking of making a troll character in my current campaign, a Samurai named Nikorusu Cagu. He'd essentially be Nicolas Cage with a katana, kimono, topnot, etc. I'd also be talking like Nicolas Cage the entire time. Reaaaaally tempting.
we are revisiting the fighter:le combatant.
lol I want the Norman Armstrong movie starred by John C. Riley ASAP please
cool new intro
Thank you!
You guys get a like from me every time before I even watch the video lol
Fuck yeah first like and comment. Can't wait for the ranger revisit
Did you post the character build somewhere?
We didn't post this one, but i will hunt down the character sheet and we will get it posted.
Please do one on the skills
im kinda new to d&d but i wanna see how cavaler works duel weilding sheilds...
confused dullahan sadly in the rules dual shielding is not allowed. I homebrew a feat that allows you to get 1/2 bonus rounded up of a second shield.
thats sad but i think i get why ypu cant have a litteral tank moving on the field
confused dullahan more because using two shields irl is dumb and protects you less.
I'd personally let you tank with 2 shields. You're literally not a threat though and probably pull no aggro so I dont know how often the enemy would think to attack you instead of sometime who's actually attacking
an enchanted spiked shield with a sheild bash with the ability to bash those who ignore me was my basic idea if not a charger
14:00 arcane archer.
Having class options that make them act a bit like the ranger is great because the 5e ranger (especially if you just have the phb) is hot garbage.
hey guys do you think, that a samurai needs to be an "asian" race? so like always human? because how you can explain you are a samurai. we are not tom cruise :D
and now another question. if you play samurai with fighting spirit, should you play with a 2H Sword or 2 1H Swords? Or Maybe take the two longswords. first attack with 2H + Bonus Action Spirit.

siccore
I always thought that rule was bs.
There's no way real-world samurai history would be parallel to dnd's samurai.
So to have to be of "asian" persuasion to be able to use the class is dumb imo.
As much as I love the idea of the arcane archer it seems extremely underpowered. 2 shots per short rest? And it never increases? Is bad imo
primer comentario! :D
All I can see is “revisted” do they always spell revisited that way?
