That is the most accurate depiction of a cleric I've ever seen. Half expected Wizard to say, "Yeah, let's go with Fireball." Also, Warlock sent in Rogue first for efficiency's sake and you can't convince me otherwise.
Honestly I'm of the opinion if your cleric isn't a salty asshole you got the wrong guy. I'd rather have the veteran who's jaded as hell to the happy go lucky rookie.
My Party before the campaign: “They can’t know we’re here, it’s all about stealth” My Party during the campaign: “It’s stealth if there are no witnesses left”
Reminds me of that time in 3e, my 1st level dwarven paladin, wearing (non-master work) plate armor + large shield, no ranks at Move Silendly at all, and Dex 8 (-1 modifier), tried to enter an orc camp... And rolled a Nat1. I literally I rolled a -8 on my stealthy. The DM described it as "a pile of kitchen pans falling all over the place"

As someone who plays an artificer as my main and favourite class- I can confirm I just yell random bullshit and I either have a huge sized iron defender (it hasn’t been killed once so in that campaign since we have four artificers myself included and a cleric of the forge we just upgraded it to a large creature and gave it spell storing to give it enlarge and haste) or I could have iron man armor shoot out lightning or thunder or I could have a flame thrower on my wrist and burn everything or I can make explosives or if I am vindictive I can take the time to make a potion or magic item with the spell disintegrate and then turn that into a bomb to essentially screw over everything

The Barbarian makes a great point. Never had an encounter where running in screaming with absolutely no plan didn't go well(ignore wizard in the background dying because of reckless attack missing.....not important at all)
You find the enemy is just standing completely still while smiling smugly and watching you charge toward them. Suddenly you step on a bear trap the size of the jaws of an allosaurus that is designed to snap shut unleash 11 types of gas and then explode. Roll to increase your scream.

@@kaoscwh4499 twinned dont work in AoEs in 5e. Quickening does, but casting a BA spell Locks you down for that round. Using Action Surge after a 2lvl dip in Fighter is the only way to cast two leveled spells at the same turn.
I like how the Rogue's plan is "Objective Complete. Run!" I've accidently and unwittingly picked up so many McGuffins in my day. One campaign it got so bad that we ended up skipping an entire quest. When the NPC was pointing our party towards a lich's tower our Paladin recognized we'd already been in that part of the map a few levels back so he told the NPC to check and see if the item we were being sent to get was in my wagon. After a quick inventory check, apparently we'd looted the tower in question while the Lich was away from his tower (because the DM didn't want to TPK us for exploring) and while searching for traps I had pocketed a large glowing crystal. Since the Wizard couldn't figure out what it did besides glow, I had been using it as a makeshift lamp to make the wagon feel more like a home. Turns out it was one of the hearts of a shattered god and we didn't have to go fight a lich. GM had been sitting on that fun fact for quite a while... go figure.
Props to your DM for allowing things to work out that way! It would probably have been easy to decide it wasn’t being stored in that tower yet at the time similar to the lich being out, so it’s cool that you really got to alter the path like that
@@anotherterribleday Oh yeah, dude's great about continuity in his world. That said he was REALLY hoping we'd go to the tower only to find we'd already looted it. The Lich came after us later but that's a whole 'nother story.
I love the logic you displayed. Found a spooky glowing rock, got the local magical stick to poke it, it doesn't seem to do anything but be spooky and glow, new lamp aquired.
Nah, the rest of the group should take 2d6 psychic "we dont have enoigh braincells to comprehend" damage. If he doesnt dies from papercut damage first, ofcourse.
I don't know what I like more. The Rogue having already accomplished the goal despite the fact that everyone is still planning ( Especially the warlock ) or the only the wizard was smart enough to flip the map over. I have been both if those players at one point
And then in the turn before yours someone pulls up something completely bizarre and random that you could never expect and invalidates all of your plans
@@Maxi-vf1jg i know what that feels like, i was playing a life domain cleric/ evocation wizard and i legit spent everybodys turns which in total was 10 aiming my fireball for the perfect position with enough spell level to make sure everybody was protected, then our druid just used animal friendship and completly ruined my 10 turns of aiming fireball, if it wasn't for the warlock using a move that made him fireproof and our bard abusing the dm with rope trick i would of wasted my 10 turns of aiming
It's worse when you're a fighter with the entire rest of the party being squishies. I have to not only come up with effective concepts, but also alter them for the likelihood that any of them even bother to remember my combat spacings and how it protects them.
Plans are especially tricky since the DM, who controls all of the mobs, also knows the plan. Your plan working is entirely dependent upon the DM allowing it to work.
I'm a Celestial Warlock too. Our Fighter.., plays more like a Barbarian. The Blood Hunter..., plays like a Fighter. The Bard..., cross playstyles of a Sorcerer & Barbarian.
@@matthewalexanian2108 Definitely reflavor Warlock spells as needed to better fit a "divine feel". If your DM allows it w/ a reasonable argument, a damage type change.
Wizard: Okay, here's the plan - Barbarian, you run in screaming like usual. Barbarian: Okay. Wizard: Rogue, you go in, steal what we came for, plus everything else you can. Rogue: Great. Wizard: The rest of the party will also do what they do best. Rest of Party: Okay!

The place should blow up nicely. Party: Great Plan!
I relate to the Druid SO MUCH... "I'M A SNAKE 🐍" 🤣😂 I played as a Moon Druid in my first campaign, and even up to the mid-levels, my best combat form to Wildshape into was Giant Constrictor Snake 🐍
@@Anon-qp3kt from what little I know, I think it's that snakes are usually the best/better forms that can druuds can take for combat at various levels, in terms of most damage. I believe the giant green snake is the first they choose and it goes on from there
I'm playing circle of moon Druid right now! Currently I either turn into a Dire Wolf or something else due to not being high enough leveled to have a CR over 1
Our party has all the mindset of the barbarian. We do have the barest hints of a plan sometimes, but it usually relies on our heaviest hitters. And the one of those hitters, (my brother) an Echo Knight-Barbarian multiclass gets charmed and heads start flying, out Sorcerer is spamming fireballs, our Artificer has died (again), our Druid (me) is trying to be useful by NOT dying, and our Cleric is just facepalming at how she has to spend another 300G worth of diamonds to revive our Artificer. D&D is fun. :)
@ReyMercury funnily enough, Armorer. Our Fighter-Barb just has this enchanted axe where he can cut off a limb of his target when he rolls a 19 or 20. Which, the Artificer is usually at the end of. XD
A plan is only good if people remember the plan, which in the campaigns I am in or was part of, we never had a resemblance of a plan, the only time we did was.......on second thought I can't remember the last time we had a plan at all, we usually winged it
A wizard approaches each encounter like a puzzle they need to find the pieces they might need and hope they all fit together. A sorcerer approaches like its target practice and hopes whatever guns he invested into making and buying are specialized enough to handle whatever comes his way with pure overwhelming force.
also, just as likely, they didn't plan their turn while everyone else was taking their's and are now looking their spell list to decide on what to cast. Hopefully they know what their spells do.
Fighter one is accurate. I normally play wizards but nothing will teach you the tactical value of things like doors, light, trees, breastwork, standing water, and destructible objects quite like your Battlemaster Fighter being out of everything but hit points, ammunition, and attitude.
I effectively played both in my first champaign. Good old Eldrich Knight, Abjuration Wizard. An anti caster/caster, with a knack for wacking things thanks to denying spellcasters
Warlocks actually have a crazy amount of things they can do. Sure, their spell slot number is low, but their invocations and powerful cantrips make up for that.
I can relate to Warlocks getting the job done fast. Our DM had prepared this hostage rescue in a small drow city. While our Druid created a passage across the ravine, and we lit some fires to get the attention of most guards elsewhere, our Warlock snuck inside the prison, took out the three guards with a surprise attack, and helped the hostages to escape. We essentially only had combat with the drow guarding the entrance and those three in the prison.
I *was* playing a frost-themed Fiend warlock with low int in my current campaign, until our second session when I realized warlocks who aren't smart enough to stay safe are squishier than melted marshmallows. I quickly asked the DM if I could rebuild a different character, and now I'm a goliath Death Domain cleric. Which means, yes... I heal people and I'd like them to stop dying please... but also, I'm keeping track of how many bodies we drop so that once I'm at a higher level, I will have an ARMY OF UNDEAD SERVING ME -- I mean, uh... so I can "lay them to rest"... sure... (Also, since we just started we're all level 2, so... that will take awhile anyway. But my guy constantly berates party members for "destroying the head" when they kill enemies, because "that's such a waste of a perfectly good body!" So if the party didn't know I was a necromancer before, they quickly found out.) Fun fact: my guy's deity is Kuliak, and when he casts spare the dying, I actually translated a phrase into Latin for the spell that I haven't translated for my friends... but it means "Rise now until Kuliak raises you again later". Foreboding? Nah, perfectly natural circle of unlife 🧟♂️
In a campain I literally take my warlock, open a door busting it laughing manically launching two eldrist blast that were a critic, I one-shoted the boss, my dm was vey quiet after that
Lol the Paladin has spoken the language of our hearts... We want anyone harming puppies to have their insides on the outside. But the druid was just so funny, and the Warlock has sass for days.
Have the Fighter, Paladin, Barbarian, Cleric, and Monk in the front and reduce their numbers Have the Ranger Rogue, and Thief take shots with their ranged weapons Have the magic users in the back blasting away
As an Artificer I find this depiction to be completely inacurate. 1: He should have been wearing a combination of Iron-Man/Predator-Killer/Halo-Spartan(not 343 era)/Deadpace/and Revans armor. However for you I would recommend wearing all the costumes you have at the same time. 2: The bomb would not have blown up in the meeting room. 3: The bomb would have been delivered via rocket powered robot winged unicorn... Oh and the exhaust would be rainbow colored for authenticity. 4: Everyone in, everything in, everything on top of, and everyone on top of the dungeon would be replaced by ash piles with all the treasure making noise so it's easier to find. I feel like I'm forgetting somethings but that's it for now. Also kudos to the Rouge for efficiency.
@@End3ren3rgy Even without that, the base attunement limit for artificers in general gets pretty goofy. A combat-focused artificer will often look like a videogame character with min-maxed stat gear that doesn't match. Armorer just let's you get slightly goofier with an extra 2.
Paladin: "Warlock, this is a surprisingly well thought out plan." Warlock: "Yeah, well when you can only cast two spells between rests, you get used to resource management."
To be honest, I expected the wizard to be "Just Fireball", but I can really identify with this depiction. I too am thinking what I am gonna do until it is my turn, maybe thinking about what to do during my turn. Btw, here is what I would do with each class: Artificer: Okay, let's test this new weapon I have invented. Bard: *start to play Combat Music on his lute* Barbarian: Unsheaths weapon and charges in, swinging the weapon violentely. Cleric: buffing everyone with Bless and stay back most of the time, or spamming range spells and attack with Spiritual Weapon. Druid: casts Conjure Animals and let them do most of the combat, while I transform into my strongest Wild Shape form. Fighter: mostly like Barbarian, but more tactical. Monk: swinging my fists/weapon (in case of Kensei) and using all my Ki points very early. Paladin: protecting everyone from being harmed. Rogue: tries everything to get that sweet Sneak Attack bonus damage, or eviscerating everyone while being stealthy AF. Sorcerer: Fireball. Warlock: so anyways I started Eldritch Blasting. Wizard: Fireball.
Artificer opens portal to the Athereal Plane, and is sucked outside. Bard's lute gets a fire arrow lodged into it, burns, and then hideously scars the Bard, ruining his Charisma. Barbarian charges in, and swings so hard he breaks his weapon and throws himself on the shards fatally. Cleric's Spiritual Weapon is Counterspelled, and they are then Paralyzed. Monk tries Flurry of Blows against the Quarterstaff wielding Doppleganger shadow-boxing with him, and breaks his fists against the Immovable Rod he is wielding. Fighter is tricked in his tactics, outmaneuvered, and then outattacked by more Fighters. Druid's conjured Animals are each taken over by Command Animal from an Awakened Spell-Casting Alpha, and set to eat the Druid. Warlock's Patron is overthrown, and the nullified deal with the dead Patron eviscerates and evaporates the Soul of the Warlock. Paladin is tricked into breaking his Vow, Killing an Innocent Puppy used as a Shield, and loses his power, becomes enraged and furious, and a Demon Lord transports him to the Abyss where he simply is annhilated by Chaos before he can even redeem himself...He dies by Demonic Dark Smite in the end. Rogue is hunted and killed by the Invisible Spirit of a Dead Rogue, who is a part of his ancestors. Ranger falls into a Trap in his Favored Terrain while facing his Favored Enemy...As an Illusion, that is a Sphere of Annhilation and Lycanthropic Enemy instead. Sorcerer is nearly killed by the Wizard's Fireball. Wizard is killed by the Sorcerer's Fireball with the Sorcerer. I am your new Dungeon Master.
You are seriously such a good actor! Each role you play feels like a different character, and you do it consistently through all your videos. It feels like I'm watching different actors even though it's all the same one. I love Ryan George, he's a great actor too, but his characters are generally just different versions of himself. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, it adds to the humor). But you, sir, bring these characters to life!
That's what I wanted to comment! :D Though more precisely, you can't cast more than one non-cantrip spell per turn, even if one uses an action and the other a bonus action. Player's Handbook, page 202: "A spell cast with a bonus action is especially swift. You must use a bonus action on your turn to cast the spell, provided that you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn. You can’t cast another spell during the same turn, except for a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action."
@@baerdred That's not 'more precisely', that's an addition. The original commenter said you can't twinspell fireball because it's an AoE spell. Twinspell ignores the rule you mentioned. The effect you described isn't Twinspell, it's Quickened Spell. Which, as you mentioned, still doesn't let you cast two fireballs in one turn, but for a different reason.
@@baerdred After targeting one creature with a spell, Twinned Spell allows you to use sorcery points to target a second creature with the same spell. But it specifically says the spell used has to be "incapable" of being able to target multiple creatures (aka no AOE)
Rogue: Okay guys so the BBEG doesn’t know we’re here yet, so if we all are very quiet I can get a surprise round. I’m looking at you- wait, where’s our paladin?

As a ranger, I can say with a full confidence that one of my most frequently asked questions before combat starts “is this one of my favorite enemies” and most of the time the answer is no, so that is accurate
I was expecting the punch line to be the wizard just pointing at one spot on the map, telling the sorcerer to fireball there, then pointing somewhere else and saying he would fireball there.
I play a centaur artificer named Eladrian Farahel in this one campaign. He got dragged into this adventure because he really didn’t have anything do do but sit and read all day. We have been playing with him for only two months and he’s already managed to nearly die 10 times ( like one hit point left) and get swallowed whole by who knows how many things. He also has this annoying golden stag steel defender who is called “ lawn ornament” by our party wizard, they think it’s useless and the amount of times we make a plan and I say “ what about the stag” and we have to work around him XD I love my annoying tea drinking horse boy, idk if anyone else does tho lol
That Rogue one is way to true. Just a few sessions ago our group needed to grab an artifact protected by a demon. It ended up being most of the team distracting the demon while the Rogue grabbed the artifact and everyone teleporting out.
Same! Mostly because my GM doesn't allow as anything else, there's no way for the party to get any real information and retreat with it to get for the engagement after planning, and when we start quick planning before the fight, he actually measures real life time and gives unreasonable amount of preparation for the monster side, stuff along the lines of us being encircled and shot through murder holes and the some bad guys running away with the treasure in a way that we are unable to stop. And that one time we thought of reasonable solution in time in real life? We get explained why it won't work, and why we can't just pick those mindless zombies from range and get into melee only with what's able to survive walking up to us, instead we get rolling for attack with disadvantage, and on serious miss we hit an ally in front of us, making it easier to kill our own, than those zombies. Damn... I should probably shop for a new GM...
@@Chromatus384 dude........ You seriously need a new GM...... That's so messed up.... As an counter point: IRL time to match chars IRL planning...

As a Warlock player I actually love having to be strategic with my spells (cause _Fireball_ and _Magic Missile_ are not always the answer). Just spam Eldritch Blast until you get to an "oh shit" moment then let loose with something more powerful. I have yet to come to the point where my Warlocks are asking the party for a nap break.
I played a Paladin in my most recent one-shot and one of the others was a warlock/ranger multiclass and we used what we now fondly refer to as "whack attack". He just eldritch blasted away and since I then got to have my attack of opportunity, not only did the enemy get blasted away with some damage done by Eldritch Blast, I ALSO got to whack them with my warhammer like some sort of sentient baseball. Flawless, 10/10, worked incredibly well
The artificer i pretty accurate. I was once n a campaign where the party found TnT, and one player's response to literally everything was: " use the TnT"
My dnd campaign in a nutshell (Im a player not dm): Rouge: Leader, has a ring that holds spells that you cast into it and 50 fireball scrolls, also loves kittens and has adopted 10-20 so far Druid: Support, casts spells in the back and sometimes, mainly out of combat, becomes a rat or snake for sneaking Fighter: Stereotypical fighter. Artificer: Stereotypical artificer but with edge and also 50% scrap metal NPC Bard: Does literally nothing.
Artificer: Hit the deck!!! *ducks* To the Bard: Don’t get off key. To the Barbarian: But we all want to fight! If we follow your plan you get all the fun. To the Cleric: Ummm okay, Cleric who hurt you? To the Fighter: Start taking notes folks To the Monk: Just don’t stun us pal To the Paladin: YOU HEARD HIM! KAR EN TUK!!! To the Ranger: Okay see ya. To the Druid: Uhhhh when did we have a Druid? To the Rogue: Wha- *Sees the Cult coming* Oh Hell MOVE!! To the Sorcerer: Your heart is in the right place but we don’t have enough spell slots for that To the Warlock: Hey I didn’t say anything To the Wizard: Uh-huh…well…TODAY PLEASE!!! * then when gets it* and this why we make sure you go last!
I've played Cleric and let me tell you, this is so painfully accurate this video was more than a meme- it's a documentary on the cleric's ascendance to madness.
Warlock: “Listen, I’m gonna Hex him and put Dex on disadvantage. If he passes this Fireball, well, I’m outta spell slots and my cantrips still suck. Good luck, I’m holding my actions.”
Please don't insult all of the artificers! Some of us take care to only light the fuse before throwing, and keep our acid vials in separate bag of holding. We just blow up a lot, because of all the AoE fire causing chain reactions! ^^

I like how the Rogue's plan is "Objective Complete. Run!" I've accidently and unwittingly picked up so many McGuffins in my day. One campaign it got so bad that we ended up skipping an entire quest. When the NPC was pointing our party towards a lich's tower our Paladin recognized we'd already been in that part of the map a few levels back so he told the NPC to check and see if the item we were being sent to get was in my wagon. After a quick inventory check, apparently we'd looted the tower in question while the Lich was away from his tower (because the DM didn't want to TPK us for exploring) and while searching for traps I had pocketed a large glowing crystal. Since the Wizard couldn't figure out what it did besides glow, I had been using it as a makeshift lamp to make the wagon feel more like a home. Turns out it was one of the hearts of a shattered god and we didn't have to go fight a lich. GM had been sitting on that fun fact for quite a while... go figure.
Props to your DM for allowing things to work out that way! It would probably have been easy to decide it wasn’t being stored in that tower yet at the time similar to the lich being out, so it’s cool that you really got to alter the path like that
@@anotherterribleday Oh yeah, dude's great about continuity in his world. That said he was REALLY hoping we'd go to the tower only to find we'd already looted it. The Lich came after us later but that's a whole 'nother story.

Wizard, after 12 minutes reading his spells: Are you _totally sure_ that Fireball isn't a cantrip?
i feel the wizard one so hard. you spent like everyone elses turns just calculating the optimal strat lol
And then in the turn before yours someone pulls up something completely bizarre and random that you could never expect and invalidates all of your plans
Yep, allows: if x does y Id do z, If x does a I do b; else I do c. Then x does crazy Shit and i am like........ What?!
@@Maxi-vf1jg i know what that feels like, i was playing a life domain cleric/ evocation wizard and i legit spent everybodys turns which in total was 10 aiming my fireball for the perfect position with enough spell level to make sure everybody was protected, then our druid just used animal friendship and completly ruined my 10 turns of aiming fireball, if it wasn't for the warlock using a move that made him fireproof and our bard abusing the dm with rope trick i would of wasted my 10 turns of aiming
This hurts so much.
It's worse when you're a fighter with the entire rest of the party being squishies. I have to not only come up with effective concepts, but also alter them for the likelihood that any of them even bother to remember my combat spacings and how it protects them.

Yes, unfortunately that is correct in regards to that 2nd part of plans not mattering.
Plans are useless, planning is indispensable
"No plan survives first contact with the enemy." Some ancient proverb whose source I cannot remember.
Plans are especially tricky since the DM, who controls all of the mobs, also knows the plan. Your plan working is entirely dependent upon the DM allowing it to work.
As someone playing a Celestial Warlock in a party with a Sorcerer, a Barbarian, and a Fighter, I’d say that this checks out.

@@Anon-qp3kt from what little I know, I think it's that snakes are usually the best/better forms that can druuds can take for combat at various levels, in terms of most damage. I believe the giant green snake is the first they choose and it goes on from there

Did anyone else just miss the druid and his snake? I feel like we haven't seen him in a long time 😁
Our party has all the mindset of the barbarian. We do have the barest hints of a plan sometimes, but it usually relies on our heaviest hitters.
And the one of those hitters, (my brother) an Echo Knight-Barbarian multiclass gets charmed and heads start flying, out Sorcerer is spamming fireballs, our Artificer has died (again), our Druid (me) is trying to be useful by NOT dying, and our Cleric is just facepalming at how she has to spend another 300G worth of diamonds to revive our Artificer.
D&D is fun. :)

A plan is only good if people remember the plan, which in the campaigns I am in or was part of, we never had a resemblance of a plan, the only time we did was.......on second thought I can't remember the last time we had a plan at all, we usually winged it
A wizard approaches each encounter like a puzzle they need to find the pieces they might need and hope they all fit together.
A sorcerer approaches like its target practice and hopes whatever guns he invested into making and buying are specialized enough to handle whatever comes his way with pure overwhelming force.
And the Wizard blows everything with Fireball, since it's the Wizard equivalent to being able to fit every shape into the square hole.
also, just as likely, they didn't plan their turn while everyone else was taking their's and are now looking their spell list to decide on what to cast. Hopefully they know what their spells do.
Fighter one is accurate. I normally play wizards but nothing will teach you the tactical value of things like doors, light, trees, breastwork, standing water, and destructible objects quite like your Battlemaster Fighter being out of everything but hit points, ammunition, and attitude.
And that is why fighter and wizard are good par
Breastwork, you say? 😏
I effectively played both in my first champaign. Good old Eldrich Knight, Abjuration Wizard. An anti caster/caster, with a knack for wacking things thanks to denying spellcasters
The Warlock being super efficient is a mood sometimes you just want to go in and out with minimal damage
I need a longer version of "I'm a snek, I'm a snek. I'm a thneaky, thneaky snek!"
Warlocks actually have a crazy amount of things they can do. Sure, their spell slot number is low, but their invocations and powerful cantrips make up for that.
Praise be the almighty hammer that is Eldritch Blast
@@bodenking Unless you face Helmed Horror.
@@YAH93 Unless you’re a genie warlock
They have a lot that they can do but they're always going to Eldritch Blast.
The point is that warlocks like naps :3
I can relate to Warlocks getting the job done fast. Our DM had prepared this hostage rescue in a small drow city. While our Druid created a passage across the ravine, and we lit some fires to get the attention of most guards elsewhere, our Warlock snuck inside the prison, took out the three guards with a surprise attack, and helped the hostages to escape. We essentially only had combat with the drow guarding the entrance and those three in the prison.
I *was* playing a frost-themed Fiend warlock with low int in my current campaign, until our second session when I realized warlocks who aren't smart enough to stay safe are squishier than melted marshmallows. I quickly asked the DM if I could rebuild a different character, and now I'm a goliath Death Domain cleric.
Which means, yes... I heal people and I'd like them to stop dying please... but also, I'm keeping track of how many bodies we drop so that once I'm at a higher level, I will have an ARMY OF UNDEAD SERVING ME -- I mean, uh... so I can "lay them to rest"... sure... (Also, since we just started we're all level 2, so... that will take awhile anyway. But my guy constantly berates party members for "destroying the head" when they kill enemies, because "that's such a waste of a perfectly good body!" So if the party didn't know I was a necromancer before, they quickly found out.)
Fun fact: my guy's deity is Kuliak, and when he casts spare the dying, I actually translated a phrase into Latin for the spell that I haven't translated for my friends... but it means "Rise now until Kuliak raises you again later". Foreboding? Nah, perfectly natural circle of unlife 🧟♂️
"I can't do a lot"

@@hypnodance Probably slithering somewhere.
As an Artificer I find this depiction to be completely inacurate.
1: He should have been wearing a combination of Iron-Man/Predator-Killer/Halo-Spartan(not 343 era)/Deadpace/and Revans armor. However for you I would recommend wearing all the costumes you have at the same time.
2: The bomb would not have blown up in the meeting room.
3: The bomb would have been delivered via rocket powered robot winged unicorn... Oh and the exhaust would be rainbow colored for authenticity.
4: Everyone in, everything in, everything on top of, and everyone on top of the dungeon would be replaced by ash piles with all the treasure making noise so it's easier to find.
I feel like I'm forgetting somethings but that's it for now.
Also kudos to the Rouge for efficiency.
If playing armourist yes the armour makes sense
@@End3ren3rgy Even without that, the base attunement limit for artificers in general gets pretty goofy. A combat-focused artificer will often look like a videogame character with min-maxed stat gear that doesn't match. Armorer just let's you get slightly goofier with an extra 2.

To be honest, I expected the wizard to be "Just Fireball", but I can really identify with this depiction.
I too am thinking what I am gonna do until it is my turn, maybe thinking about what to do during my turn.
Btw, here is what I would do with each class:
Artificer: Okay, let's test this new weapon I have invented.
Bard: *start to play Combat Music on his lute*
Barbarian: Unsheaths weapon and charges in, swinging the weapon violentely.
Cleric: buffing everyone with Bless and stay back most of the time, or spamming range spells and attack with Spiritual Weapon.
Druid: casts Conjure Animals and let them do most of the combat, while I transform into my strongest Wild Shape form.
Fighter: mostly like Barbarian, but more tactical.
Monk: swinging my fists/weapon (in case of Kensei) and using all my Ki points very early.
Paladin: protecting everyone from being harmed.
Rogue: tries everything to get that sweet Sneak Attack bonus damage, or eviscerating everyone while being stealthy AF.
Sorcerer: Fireball.
Warlock: so anyways I started Eldritch Blasting.
Wizard: Fireball.
Artificer opens portal to the Athereal Plane, and is sucked outside.
Bard's lute gets a fire arrow lodged into it, burns, and then hideously scars the Bard, ruining his Charisma.
Barbarian charges in, and swings so hard he breaks his weapon and throws himself on the shards fatally.
Cleric's Spiritual Weapon is Counterspelled, and they are then Paralyzed.
Monk tries Flurry of Blows against the Quarterstaff wielding Doppleganger shadow-boxing with him, and breaks his fists against the Immovable Rod he is wielding.
Fighter is tricked in his tactics, outmaneuvered, and then outattacked by more Fighters.
Druid's conjured Animals are each taken over by Command Animal from an Awakened Spell-Casting Alpha, and set to eat the Druid.
Warlock's Patron is overthrown, and the nullified deal with the dead Patron eviscerates and evaporates the Soul of the Warlock.
Paladin is tricked into breaking his Vow, Killing an Innocent Puppy used as a Shield, and loses his power, becomes enraged and furious, and a Demon Lord transports him to the Abyss where he simply is annhilated by Chaos before he can even redeem himself...He dies by Demonic Dark Smite in the end.
Rogue is hunted and killed by the Invisible Spirit of a Dead Rogue, who is a part of his ancestors.
Ranger falls into a Trap in his Favored Terrain while facing his Favored Enemy...As an Illusion, that is a Sphere of Annhilation and Lycanthropic Enemy instead.
Sorcerer is nearly killed by the Wizard's Fireball.
Wizard is killed by the Sorcerer's Fireball with the Sorcerer.

*Sorcerer: "Why don't we just double the fireball?"*
BBEG Rules Lawyer: "You can't twin spell AOE spells like fireball."
That's what I wanted to comment! :D
Though more precisely, you can't cast more than one non-cantrip spell per turn, even if one uses an action and the other a bonus action.
Player's Handbook, page 202: "A spell cast with a bonus action is especially swift. You
must use a bonus action on your turn to cast the spell, provided that you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn. You can’t cast another spell during the same turn, except for a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action."
Maybe, but rules as written allow it with an action surge.
@@baerdred That's not 'more precisely', that's an addition. The original commenter said you can't twinspell fireball because it's an AoE spell. Twinspell ignores the rule you mentioned. The effect you described isn't Twinspell, it's Quickened Spell. Which, as you mentioned, still doesn't let you cast two fireballs in one turn, but for a different reason.
@@baerdred After targeting one creature with a spell, Twinned Spell allows you to use sorcery points to target a second creature with the same spell. But it specifically says the spell used has to be "incapable" of being able to target multiple creatures (aka no AOE)
The best spells to twin, tend to be buff spells like Haste or Polymorph. (This is actually pretty powerful, as you can buff two party members)
Rogue: Okay guys so the BBEG doesn’t know we’re here yet, so if we all are very quiet I can get a surprise round. I’m looking at you- wait, where’s our paladin?

"I want their insides on my outsides" is an extremely badass sentence
Not gonna lie, charging in screaming has never failed me, no one ever expects it.
I'll see you running in screaming and raise you the enemy running back at you screaming. Makes everything so much simpler for everyone
Same! Mostly because my GM doesn't allow as anything else, there's no way for the party to get any real information and retreat with it to get for the engagement after planning, and when we start quick planning before the fight, he actually measures real life time and gives unreasonable amount of preparation for the monster side, stuff along the lines of us being encircled and shot through murder holes and the some bad guys running away with the treasure in a way that we are unable to stop.
And that one time we thought of reasonable solution in time in real life? We get explained why it won't work, and why we can't just pick those mindless zombies from range and get into melee only with what's able to survive walking up to us, instead we get rolling for attack with disadvantage, and on serious miss we hit an ally in front of us, making it easier to kill our own, than those zombies.

As a Warlock player I actually love having to be strategic with my spells (cause _Fireball_ and _Magic Missile_ are not always the answer). Just spam Eldritch Blast until you get to an "oh shit" moment then let loose with something more powerful. I have yet to come to the point where my Warlocks are asking the party for a nap break.
I played a Paladin in my most recent one-shot and one of the others was a warlock/ranger multiclass and we used what we now fondly refer to as "whack attack". He just eldritch blasted away and since I then got to have my attack of opportunity, not only did the enemy get blasted away with some damage done by Eldritch Blast, I ALSO got to whack them with my warhammer like some sort of sentient baseball. Flawless, 10/10, worked incredibly well
The artificer i pretty accurate. I was once n a campaign where the party found TnT, and one player's response to literally everything was: " use the TnT"
The barbarian should've said "We should trust run in screaming, also I'd like to rage"
My dnd campaign in a nutshell (Im a player not dm):
Rouge: Leader, has a ring that holds spells that you cast into it and 50 fireball scrolls, also loves kittens and has adopted 10-20 so far
Druid: Support, casts spells in the back and sometimes, mainly out of combat, becomes a rat or snake for sneaking
Fighter: Stereotypical fighter.
Artificer: Stereotypical artificer but with edge and also 50% scrap metal
NPC Bard: Does literally nothing.
Sees the hat in the thumbnail, and explosions
Ahh yes the artificer
My way is: Don't, everyone will take care of it.
I learned that from Lord Reginald, ya proud of me?
Wizard: *Dies of 1d4 indesicion damage*
Artificer: Hit the deck!!! *ducks*
To the Bard: Don’t get off key.
To the Barbarian: But we all want to fight! If we follow your plan you get all the fun.
To the Cleric: Ummm okay, Cleric who hurt you?
To the Fighter: Start taking notes folks
To the Monk: Just don’t stun us pal
To the Paladin: YOU HEARD HIM! KAR EN TUK!!!
To the Ranger: Okay see ya.
To the Druid: Uhhhh when did we have a Druid?
To the Rogue: Wha- *Sees the Cult coming* Oh Hell MOVE!!
To the Sorcerer: Your heart is in the right place but we don’t have enough spell slots for that
To the Warlock: Hey I didn’t say anything
To the Wizard: Uh-huh…well…TODAY PLEASE!!! * then when gets it* and this why we make sure you go last!
Cleric: That would be THIS PARTY!! (dissolves into frustrated sobbing)
@@richardd3367 .....Uhhh guys ...lets take it easy with the recklessness.. Except Barbarian go nuts
That level up definitely helped. Wizard didn’t die from 1d4 planning for too long damage
1:33 DAYUM
*_Warlock was just straight SPITTIN today 😤👌_*
I've played Cleric and let me tell you, this is so painfully accurate this video was more than a meme- it's a documentary on the cleric's ascendance to madness.
I like to believe that the Wizard is looking through their spell book trying to pick which spells to prepare for the fight.
Warlock: “Listen, I’m gonna Hex him and put Dex on disadvantage. If he passes this Fireball, well, I’m outta spell slots and my cantrips still suck. Good luck, I’m holding my actions.”
Getting real strong "Sokka" vibes of your fighter.
Wizard preparing his spells be like:
How did he know exactly what my artificer would do?!
Please don't insult all of the artificers! Some of us take care to only light the fuse before throwing, and keep our acid vials in separate bag of holding. We just blow up a lot, because of all the AoE fire causing chain reactions! ^^
1:55 When you're pondering the plan...
Forgot one.
DM: Sighs and pours their first shot.
